Do You Infect or Affect Your Environment?

Good Morning,
On this day, November 9, this email comes to minister to you. Happy Tuesday! How are you doing this morning? Its a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever known someone who complained about everyone and everything? No matter how well things were in their life, (s)he always wanted more and expected to have better than you. They never had a nice word to say when others were blessed by God. If you received what (s)he did not, jealousy consumed their behavior. When others were blessed, they attempted to always find something wrong. When they were blessed, they wanted the entire world to know and celebrate with them. Have you ever known someone who made you uncomfortable when they came around? Something about their spirit made your spirit uneasy. Whether they opened their mouth or not, you could discern evil within them. Before they came around, everything was going well. After they left your presence, you felt a heaviness in the atmosphere. Have you ever had someone attempt to contaminate your dreams? Their lack of faith refused to believe your faith in God.

This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. Today, I have been given the challenge of making you think. The challenge of causing you to do a self-evaluation. My friend, Do You Infect or Affect Your Environment? When others come around you, do they walk away encouraged or discouraged? Do they walk away rejoicing in the Lord or further from the Lord? To infect means to contaminate or corrupt; to affect means to influence or change. The Bible declares in Matthew 5:16 - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think about the people you interact with on a daily basis, are they better because you are around? Can they expect words of blessings or conversations of gossip from you? Do you not know God has ordained you to be an ambassador for Christ? You have been sent to share His goodness to all you commune with. The Bible declares in 2 Corinthians 5:20 - Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

My brother, my sister, Do You Infect or Affect Your Environment? Do people see the glory of God resting upon you or the ways of the world surrounding you? Beloved, no one wants to be around a person, place or thing that has become infected. Infections can be contagious, just as sin. When you come into the room, do people flee from you or flock to you? The Bible declares Romans 14:16 - Let not then your good be evil spoken of: Think about the places you go on a daily basis, are they better because you were there? Or what about the things you do, are they infected or affected because of you? Child of God, you have a great responsibility upon your life. There are many people watching you. God has entrusted an anointing within you that many people have noticed. Can your word be believed? Does your talk and walk glorify God? Do You Infect or Affect Your Environment? Think about it! Prayer for Today: Father, today I pray that my environment will be affected not infected because of me. All that I do is for Your glory. In Jesus' name ... Amen!

Scripture Reading for Today: Colossians 3:23

May God Bless you at Your point of need!

To God Be The Glory!!
