*To Be Kind is the goal-- Not Nice* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another"* (Romans 12:10 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Niceness and Kindness may appear to be identical twins but in reality they may race on parallel lanes.
When people say "be nice," they almost always mean "please me now" while what is ultimately good for them might as well take a back seat. If you want to be nice ALWAYS, you can neither truly love man nor please God. For love, there's time for everything. A time to be nice, and a time to appear mean.
Love is always kind. But love is not always nice. And kindness may run contrary to niceness. Kindness delays gratification for a higher good. Niceness takes immediate gratification as the only good. Kindness teaches you how to fish. Niceness keeps giving you fish.
Kindness teaches you investment. Niceness keeps giving you handouts. Kindness will always meet your needs. Niceness will always meet your wants.
Kindness compliments you in Truth. Niceness flatters you to make you feel good. Kindness is empathetic. Niceness is sympathetic. Kindness can be firm yet polite. Niceness is ever soft and always agreeable.
Kindness knows pain may produce gain. Niceness detests all pain and loses the best of gains. Extreme kindness will give you injection or drugs for malaria. Acute niceness will give you icecream or fanta for typhoid.
_MEDITATION:_
*Be kind always. "Nice" will be fine.*

*To Be Kind is the goal-- Not Nice* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil* (1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Being KIND can hurt especially when you know that what you are doing is in the best interest of the other party but they are not able to see it
Niceness says
“This fire will burn you if you touch it but I don’t want you to feel bad that I am not letting you touch it and so, I’ll let you be.â€
Kindness says “Because I care for you, I will stop you from walking into this fire by all means, even though you don’t see it.â€
On a personal level, more people will like you for being nice because you are easy to WALK OVER.
On the other hand, many people will dislike you for being kind because your genuine concern for them sometimes translates to strict rules to keep them from getting in harm’s way. This is the “not-so-pleasant†kind of kindness.
Not every shade of kindness looks like a beautiful rainbow 🌈 or causes the butterflies in your stomach to fly.😅
Choose which one you’d rather be: NICE or KIND?
_MEDITATION:_
*"Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another"* (Romans 12:10 (KJV))

*To Be Kind is the goal-- Not Nice*
_Key Bible Text:_
*Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.* (Colossians 3:12-13 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Too often nowadays, Christians have taken up the counterfeit version of that sentimental view of love that, of all things, Christians should be nice.
Isn't Church about forgiveness? Are Christians not supposed to love others as God does......unconditionally? Well, God is not nice. He is ...............kind.
Kind will cleanse a dirty wound. Kind will pour the Spirit on it. Kind will bind it up with the bond of perfection. Kind will give antibiotics and come to check in a few days if you are doing better.
Nice?
Nice will only pour water on the wound, and that is if you will allow, because methylated spirit will sting. Nice will ask you if you want your wound to be called a wound, and if you say you do not want it so called, because you feel it is just another opening....
Nice will call your wound a second mouth, or a spare nostril. Nice will tell you we have all had wounds, and to single out yours for treatment is hate.
And even though it has mostly become a jocular statement, whosoever first said that *"Nice is not a fruit of the Spirit"* Must have been filled with the Spirit of God.
God's love is patient. It waits. It forgives. It accommodates. It hopes. It confronts. It rebukes. It chastises. To insist on remaining as you are, is to refuse His love.
For God's love is transforming.
It is NOT nice.
_MEDITATION:_
*"He accepts you as you are, but is passionately unwilling for you to remain the same. He will not insist, but to remain as you are you will have to resist Him."*

*SOWING AND REAPING* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Then he taught them many things by using stories. He said: A farmer went out to scatter seed in a field. While the farmer was scattering the seed, some of it fell along the road... Other seeds fell on thin, rocky ground... Some other seeds fell where thornbushes grew up... But a few seeds did fall on good ground where the plants produced a hundred or sixty or thirty times as much as was scattered."* (Matthew 13:3-8 (CEV))
_Bible Insight:_
WHAT'S THE CONDITION OF THE SOIL OF YOUR HEART? WITH WHICH HEART DO YOU RECEIVE GOD'S WORD? What's your receptivity to God's word like?
Ephesians 4:23 (KJV) declares, *"And be renewed in the spirit of your mind"* Until you are renewed in the Spirit of your mind, forget it, your mind or heart will not be the right condition that can permit the Word of God to germinate and become productive in your life.
How do you ensure that your heart attains the right condition for the Word of God? By giving the Word of God the right to dictate to you and tell you what's right or wrong. In other words, you must uphold the Word of God as the ultimate source of wisdom, while you dethrone and reduce the value you attach to all other sources of counsel and direction for living.
When you intentionally look up to the Word for all that patterns to life and godliness, you become vulnerable to the dictates of the Word. God's word will inturn begin to soften your mind more and more as you give more attention and priority to the word.
Speak rightly about the Word of God. Mimic the word. Strive to take it seriously and personally. Don't take the word for granted. Otherwise, you won't have the word producing results in your life.
Desist from allowing fear to discourage you from taking the Word of God serious. Do what the Word of God says and ignore the fear in your head. Fear will rob you your divine destiny programmed by the Word of God.
Finally, speak the word. Live the Word. Meditate on the Word. Speaking the word will make the word become your reality. Words carry spiritual force. Watch your words.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Make your words align with the word of God concerning different subjects. Joshua and caleb spoke differently and got the results of their confession. How do you speak concerning the nation?"*

*SOWING AND REAPING* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."* (2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Is there anything you desire that you are not getting? Plant it and you will get it. Sadly, we expect a harvest when we have not planted the seeds. You plant the seeds you want to harvest.
*DON'T ATTEMPT TO WITHDRAW FROM AN ACCOUNT YOU HAVE NOT FUNDED*
Do you need divine approval? Then study, the seed of diligent study of God & His word delivers divine approval. Likewise, the seed of diligent study in your studies, deliver approval of the examining authorities. The student who studies will reap the harvest of passing with flying colours.
When you plant the seed of diligence, you reap the harvest of dominance. *"Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men."* (Proverbs 22:29 (KJV))
When you plant the seed of diligence in your work, you reap the harvest of promotion or reward. So plant the right seeds and you see the right things happen.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."* (Galatians 6:7-8 (KJV))
