It’s so funny in many ways how people try to relive their lives through others, after having messed up their own. Giving themselves a second chance through someone else. You only have one human life to live the first go around. There is one thing you hear some people say and that is this: “If I had the chance to do it all over again, I would do things differently.” You might hear others say “I’m just human and people make mistakes.” But until you come to reality that you can’t live your life by excuses, you begin understanding that the life you made for yourself was completely done of your own free will. But to live your life through someone else will only lead that person down the same road you traveled in you own life.
So to teach, mentor or lead someone down the new road by the new understanding that you have, with the old mindset and understanding that you have now, which is tainted with the old thoughts and emotional anger, pain and broken heart, will have an overwhelm effect on your decision making, which just might turnout to be a form of control, and or subjugation mentoring. It would even prevent that person being delivered and also being restored.
Proverbs 21:2-4 says:
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. 3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. 4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
We must remember that there are five responsibilities of a child of God on this Earth and they are listed below:
- To give people an understanding of the truth of what this world is all about
- Teaching and of the kingdom of God and being an example for them
- Restoring human souls back into the true understanding why Jesus Christ died for all
- Create a path back to Jesus Christ
- For people to be delivered from their themselves and sin
Sometime I ask when will the heart of man and woman stop being jealous? When will they be less concerned about what others will people think or say or do if they don’t like how you live or what you do?:
1 John 2:15-17
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
In my conclusion, I’ll leave you with this verse: Philippians 2:1-11
1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Selah!
