BE YOUR BROTHER'S KEEPER ~ A ##
Genesis is the book of beginnings.
Since unchartered time, prior to any man's recorded words had existed, the 'eternal' questioned has confronted:
am I my brother's keeper?
Its perennial resonansce has not been lost.
Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” (Genesis 4:9)
##Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart had moments of glory in his ministry, but he also had moments of humiliation. When the devil destabilized the life of this anointed man of God, Jimmy Swaggart, by trapping him with a young lady, his community suspended him.
All his close ones called him a Fake Pastor. Over 500,000 of his church members left him and abandoned him.
Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart was forsaken and forgotten as all the Media Houses targeted talking about the scandal and kept condemning him consistently and intentionally.
Men of God even made this sad story of another great man of God who had fallen as the center of their messages.
Finally, the day came when they had to receive his so-called rival and replacement who was Evangelist Billy Graham. People carnally thought Evangelist Billy Graham would be happy with what had happened because he had every chance, privilege and ability to divert Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart's followers to follow him and his ministry. Journalists asked him what he thought about the situation of the great man of God who had soiled his reputation and integrity.
To the utmost surprise of the journalist and his listeners Billy Graham responded:
"If it happened to Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart it could happen to me; This holy man of God won thousands of souls for Christ. He is already wounded; let us not finish him, let him heal and lift our soldier."
Dear Christian Pastor, Brother and Sister,
Never rejoice when you see the devil destroy another man's ministry.
Never be happy when you see the devil de-stabilize another man's marriage.
Never be excited when the devil campaigns to dirty and soil another man's life and destiny. Be your brother's keeper.##
Don't judge a man by his worst moments.
