THE HOLY SPIRIT - OUR BEST AND GREATEST FRIEND.} KEEP ENSURING THAT WRONGS KNOWN TO YOU ARE CORRECTED WELL. Noble Child of God, Jesus said, "If your brother does something wrong, go and have it out with him alone, between your two selves. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother"(Mt.18:15(18:15-20) We are meant, as God's Prophets and disciples, not just to live exemplary lives but to also ensure that our Brothers and Sisters, our neighbours do the same. Thus, our roles as Christians go beyond that of watchmen described in the Bible (Ezek.3:17-21). We are not just called to alert or warn people to avoid sin or change from their evil ways or just to keep striving quietly to live a holy life. Jesus reminds us with the citation above, that we are to forgive hurts and ensure that the person who hurt us or the one who wronged or inflicted pain on anyone that comes to our notice becomes remorseful and turn over a new leaf. That means that we are encouraged to keep helping each other to live better by correcting one another privately with love and humility, not with 'holier than thou' attitude. It is very important to remember always that, "THE REPENTANCE OF ANYONE" is an act of God, not human. As such, let us always approach whoever we want to correct with our interior prayer and Greatest Friend, Holy Spirit. Let us remember always that whoever presents himself or herself to us like an 'Unbeliever,' 'Tax Collector' or 'Gentile' demands that we persevere and intensify our prayers and good works for his or her repentance, trusting in God's time that is always the best. Let us note and be convinced that Prayers, Love, Humility and honest efforts to practice what we preach by the grace of God will always help us to win our drifting or derailing Brothers and Sisters over to God. EVER LIVING, LOVING AND COMPASSIONATE FATHER, WE PRAY THAT YOUR GRACE MAY CONTINUE TO BE SUFFICIENT FOR US TO KEEP ENSURING THAT OUR HOLY LIVES SPEAK LOUDER THAN OUR WORDS, AND ALWAYS HELP US TO SUSTAIN AND WIN PEOPLE OVER TO THE RIGHT PATH OF LIFE, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.AMEN! 🙏 Our Testimony and Divine Appreciation Prayer Program last Week was very successful. To God be all Glory. May our sacrifices attract more Blessings and Favours for us. Thanks very much for taking part in the Missionary work of Holy Ghost Fathers(Spiritans) with your supports. Forward ever and backwards never. "Do Not Be Afraid, Only Have Faith"(Mk.5:36). Be assured of our prayers and be ever grateful to God(1Thess.5:18). Have a nice week.
