NO TO REVENGE.

 *NO TO REVENGE.*

                                     


I read a book when I was much younger in which the author described how one of her children hit the other in retaliation for what had previously been done to him.

 

When his mother told him that he should not repay evil with evil but rather trust Jesus to defend him, his reaction made me laugh out loud.

 

The young guy just assured his mother that he had not acted with vengeance; he had only given the brother a taste of what had been done to him so that Jesus could accomplish the rest for him. I had a nice laugh.

 

Revenge is the act of inflicting pain or harm on someone in retaliation for an injury or injustice done to them.

 

Siblings' interactions with one another can be quite amusing at times. He hit me first, so I hit him as well. He took my stuff, and I returned the favor.

 

As parents, we must not allow our children to cause harm to one another. When children are not appropriately trained to manage offenses, they end up injuring one another.

 

As parents, we should put in place a structure that promotes love and forgiveness. Let them know that while offenses are unavoidable in human relationships, forgiveness is the lubricant that keeps us moving.

 

Everything is learnable. Conflict is unavoidable as long as you're in human territory. As a result, conflict resolution skills must be taught.

 

In addition, model nonviolent, peaceful dispute resolution for your children.

 

I am pastor E O Gabriel.

 

A very blessed morning.

EVOLVE OR DISSOLVE 2 AND DO YOU HAVE A TEMPLATE?

  *EVOLVE OR DISSOLVE 2 AND DO YOU HAVE A TEMPLATE*?                                     Another reason many have dissolved or gone extinct is that the visionary is unwilling to stretch.   They are not flexible or willing to change their ways; they prefer to stay the same. They don't want to be bothered with having to learn new things, meet new people, do it differently, or add a new twist to it.   It may even entail spending more money, and you may even risk losing money, clients, or staff.   Stretching entails a great deal; it challenges your brain, alters your thinking, is demanding, and entails a new level of commitment and responsibilities.   They are afraid of confronting new challenges because it is like starting over.Maybe you should be told that the world is no longer in its primitive state; it has grown beyond where it was when you arrived.    As it grows, things wear out and new things emerge because those who came before you accepted the challenge. They took
