Do you remember back in the day
when during the summer months children would come from out of the woodwork
every Saturday to play outside? A person
could walk up and down any city block and see crowds of children. Some would be
jumping rope, others playing hopscotch, jacks, checkers, and even street ball. On any given Saturday, young children would
gather and play from around 12 noon until around 6 or 7 pm (depending on when
dinner time was).
There were hardly any fights or major
disagreements on these days because the children assembled had only one thing
on their mind and that was to have some fun and enjoy each others company. In
the event a fight did break out, it was quickly dispersed when some of the
children gathered would say, “come on
now, you all gonna get all of us in trouble.” Sometimes the community
parent, or the mother who lived closest to where the group of children always played
would say, “Okay, you all better play
fair, or my kids gonna have to come in the house and the rest of you all gonna
have to go home!” The next thing you knew all of the children assembled would
then look at the ones in disagreement and say, “you all better get it right between you, cause, I ain’t going in the
house this early and be bored on no Saturday!” Then you would see
handshakes, pats on the back and hugs and then the play would quickly resume.
It is imperative in this hour that
we all hear the Father’s heart as it relates to how His children are to behave
when they leave the house to meet up with one another. Daily He pours out
His love and continues to provide food, clothing and shelter. He imparts wisdom
to those who graciously ask; He also gives insight and heals those who are sick
or weak. With such an incredible Father
like this why is there still continued infighting among His children? What’s up
with all of the envy, discord and cold love?
Is this how the children of the Holy Sovereign Father act when they
leave the house and gather with others? This should not be so. Although this
parable is not for everyone, those who it is for own spirit will bear witness for
them.
The Sovereign Father loves you
richly, but if you continue to not play fair, He’s gonna ask you to come inside
the house. 12-5-2013 4:06 PM
