Scripture: Genesis 4:8.

Thought for The Day: You cannot be neutral in life. It is either you are keeping your brother, or you are killing him.

PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE’S SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR 29TH DECEMBER 2024.
In one of our previous studies, we saw hatred or lovelessness as the root of character deficiency. When people are deficient in character, one area to examine is their love life.
Today, we want to add that bitterness is the root of murder. When people are embittered, they make attempts to kill. This was what happened to Cain.
In Genesis 4, both Cain and Abel brought their offerings to God.
God had respect for Abel and his offering, but He did not have respect for Cain and his offering.
Then Cain became angry, and his countenance fell. Murderous hatred began to brew in the heart of Cain.
The Lord asked Cain, “Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.” Genesis 4:6-7.
Then Cain spoke with Abel, his brother. When they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
And when the Lord asked Cain, “Where is your brother?” Cain replied, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” Genesis 4:8-9.
You see, Cain killed his brother and refused to keep him.
The lesson to learn here is that if you are not your brother’s keeper, it means you are your brother’s killer. You cannot be neutral in life. It is either you are keeping your brother, or you are killing him. You are either keeping your sister, or you are killing her. You are either watching over the people around you, or you are harming them.
Now, the question I would like to ask you is: What have you done to your brother, your sister, or the people around you in the past? Do you keep them through intercession, showing care and seeking their welfare, or harm them by assassinating their character, plotting their downfall, and speaking against them?
Have you contributed to the fall or demotion of an innocent person at your place of work before?
You must always remember this: It is either you are keeping your brother, or you are killing him. The choice is yours.
Remember this: You cannot be neutral in life. It is either you are keeping your brother, or you are killing him.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Ask yourself this question: Am I a keeper or a killer?
2. Repent from any action of yours in the past that has resulted in the assassination of someone’s character and their downfall.
3. Make up your mind henceforth to contribute to the growth of people.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You deliver me from any tendency to “kill” through bitterness by uprooting every trace of hate and bitterness from my heart. I receive the grace for a love-filled heart, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: If you cannot control your passion, you are in serious trouble. Some people cannot control their anger. Others cannot control their flesh

AMAZING FACT: Lions in different regions may develop different hunting techniques based on prey availability. A lion pride’s success depends on the cooperation and communication between its members.
PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION):
The LORD cause His Love in your heart to drown every trace of bitterness there, in Jesus’ Name.
