KEY SCRIPTURE: John 18:3 KJV “Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.”

We see in the above key scripture, Judas a disciple of Jesus, accompanied by armed men and all those who hated Jesus Christ, to arrest and crucify Him. Judas has lost his sense of allegiance and faithfulness, because of a few silver coins. Judas eventually felt remorse and sent back the monies that were given to Him (Matt 27:3). It could be deduced that he anticipated that the Lord would have escaped from their arrest as He had done on a number of occasions., so that He would have had his money. This was greediness.

It is very unfortunate that many who have been expected to be faithful get treacherous. There are many homes fuming with rage and turmoil because partners tend to be insensitive to the real concerns of their fellow associates. How could a friend poison her colleague because of an iPhone? Political leaders who vow to be faithful to the poor deprived citizens, steal state monies and use them for properties they do not live long enough to make use of. How many buildings can you sleep in at a time? If you built those houses with genuine funds of yours, then that is right.

Dear man of influence who has become so insensitive that you enjoy having the citizens line up in your homes begging you for money, that belongs to them. These monies could have been channeled into ventures that would have gotten these citizens into gainful employment.

To everyone who has been insensitive to others, know that the real person you are offending is God the creator. Every man is a physical representative of the invisible God, for God made him in His image and likeness. Remember He said, if you are bringing your offering in worship, and you remember your brother has an issue against you, then stop whatever you are bringing, go back to him or her, and settle that issue before you bring that sacrifice. Matt 5:23 This means anyone in the church who might have mistreated his neighbour, is offering an unacceptable worship unto God. Go back to that person, or people, and then straighten up those misdeeds, before you come to offer your worship. Until you do that, it is a waste of your time.

THOUGHT: YOU CAN’T MISTREAT MEN, AND BE CORDIAL TO GOD.
