WE ARE ALL BEGGARS Do not look down on the man or woman by the road side or at your place of worship who ask you for alms. Do you not know that we are no better that man or woman we consider as a beggar? Someone asked you for help, assistance, or begged you for money: being privileged, you consider yourself better than the man or woman who need your assistance.   You have forgotten you too have begged to be in the privileged position you are in. You are still begging to remain in the privilege position you are in.   You will continue begging for your needs and aspirations. Why then do you feel you are better than the one who asked for your help?   No. you are not better than him or her. If someone approach you for assistance, say within you.   I too I am a beggar, so I must not hesitate to assist, it is within my power to do so. If I do not somebody will render the help I refused to honour. Do not consider yourself better than anyone you t...

How hare it is to find a capable wife! She is worth far more than jewels! Her husband puts his confidence in her, and he will never be poor. As long as she lives, she does him good and never harm. She keeps herself busy making wool and linen cloth. She brings home food from out-of-the-way places, as merchant ships do. She gets up before daylight to prepare food for her family and to tell her servant women what to do. She looks at the land and buy it, and with money she has earned she plants vineyard. She is a hard worker, strong and industrious. Prov. 31:10-31 Readings

Listen , and I will teach you what the wise have said. Study their teachings, and you will be glad if you remember them and can quote them. I want you to put your trust in the LORD; that is why I am going to tell them to you now.  Prov. 22:17-29, 23 & 24:1-22 Reading for the day

 HOW DO YOU APPRECIATE GOD? ''I was dancing to honour the LORD, who chose me instead of your father and his family to make me the leader of his people Israel.  And I will go on dancing to honour the LORD, and will disgrace myself even more''  2nd Samuel 6:21-22

Readings for today  The Lord controls the mind of a king as easily  as he directs the course of a stream. You may think that everything you do is right, but remember that the LORD judges your motives. Do what is right and fair, that pleases the LORD more than bringing him sacrifices.  Proverb 21:1-3 Psaume 13

1 Kings 21:1-16 ©  HUMAN BEHAVIOUR AND CHARACTER Ahab covets Naboth's vineyard and Jezebel has him killed Naboth of Jezreel had a vineyard close by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria, and Ahab said to Naboth, ‘Give me your vineyard to be my vegetable garden, since it adjoins my house; I will give you a better vineyard for it or, if you prefer, I will give you its worth in money.’ But Naboth answered Ahab, ‘The Lord forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my ancestors!’   Ahab went home gloomy and out of temper at the words of Naboth of Jezreel, ‘I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.’ He lay down on his bed and turned his face away and refused to eat. His wife Jezebel came to him. ‘Why are you so dispirited’ she said ‘that you will not eat?’ He said, ‘I have been speak ing to Naboth of Jezreel; I said: Give me your vineyard either for money or, if you prefer, for another vineyard in exchange. But he said, “I will not give you my vineyard.”’ Then his wif...
