Dear friends,
I want to share something with you.
When I went to New life Assembly of God (A.G) Church at Hyderabad (India), a very spirit filled church, as I entered with my family, they gave us a pamphlet (they were giving every body who was entering the Church gate).
A part of it contained this:
From The Pastor's Desk
"The Devils Beatitudes"
If the devil were to write his beatitudes they would probably go something like this:
1) Blessed are those who are too tired, too busy, too distracted to spend an hour once a week with their fellow Christians - they save me the effort of trying to keep them from God's blessings.
2) Blessed are those Christians who wait to be asked and expect to be thanked - it's pretty easy to keep them from working for God.
3) Blessed are the touchy who stop going to Church - they are my missionaries.
4) Blessed are the trouble makers - they shall be called my children.
5) Blessed are the complainers - I'm all ears to them.
6) Blessed are those who are bored with the minister's mannerisms and mistakes - for they get nothing out of his sermons.
7) Blessed is a Church member who expects to be invited to his own Chruch - for he is a part of the problem instead of the solution.
8) Blessed are those who gossip - for they shall cause strife and division that pleases me.
9) Blessed are those who are easily offended - for they will soon get angry and quit.
10) Blessed are those who do not give their offering to carry on God's work - for they are my helpers.
11) Blessed is he who professes to love God but hates his brother and sister - for they shall be with me forever.
God bless you.
