Topic: Natural Affection
Word: 2 Timothy 3:1-3
In the last days..men shall be..without natural affection"
Here's My Take:
WHEN THERE'S NATURAL AFFECTION, there'll be no
5. Racism/Tribalism:
Three major root causes of tribal/racial conflicts; they are
3. FEAR: just as I was listing yesterday some of what fear could do to people making them engage in racial/tribal conflicts, I remembered the story of the children of Israel in Egypt. The Bible said "the Israelites, had many children and grandchildren. In fact, they multiplied so greatly that they became extremely powerful and filled the land. A new king came to power in Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph or what he had done.
He said to his people, “Look, the people of Israel now outnumber us and are stronger than we are. We must make a plan to keep them from growing even more. If we don’t, and if war breaks out, they will join our enemies and fight against us. Then they will escape from the country.” So the Egyptians made the Israelites their slaves.
They appointed brutal slave drivers over them, hoping to wear them down with crushing labor. They forced them to build the cities of Pithom and Rameses as supply centers for the king. But the more the Egyptians oppressed them, the more the Israelites multiplied and spread, and the more alarmed the Egyptians became. Exodus 1:7-12 NLT
Conclusion:
Nothing was just their fear, other than "taking over". Not their colour, not their stature, but the fear of taking over. Same things are repeating themselves today, that's why people can't cohabit freely.
Song:
If my heart could tell a story
If my life would sing a song
If I have a testimony
If I have anything at all
No one ever cared for me like Jesus
His faithful hand has held me all this way
And when I'm old and grey
And all my days are numbered on the earth
Let it be known in you alone
My joy was found
Prayer:
Father may we have a change of mind towards one another in Jesus name. Amen.
