Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases. As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
Proverbs 26:20-21 (NKJV)
The world we live in requires Godly wisdom on our part if we are going to make an impact and be successful in it according to God's will for our lives. We have choices in our lives and must choose that which will raise, build and empower every child of God to be who the Creator have created them to be. It can't be business as usual, hence we must take cognizance of how we are building on the foundation that has been laid. The foundation to reach the lost, To preach good tidings to the poor; to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn.
According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.
1 Corinthians 3:10 (NKJV)
As heirs and joint heirs, our role and tasks are cut out clearly for us. The good news we must spread, not strife.
Be encouraged,
Afolabi
