RESPONDING TO MESSAGES FROM OTHERS
🥂RESPONDING TO MESSAGES FROM OTHERS 🥂
Some people are yet to understand the Golden Rule_ "whatever you want others to do to you, do unto others also."
Jesus Himself said that.
Reading other's messages without a good response or not at all is a very bad attitude.
One thing I have observed is that it's common among church people.
We sometimes suspend simple social etiquette bcos we are brethren.
Truth is, more often than not, not in all cases though, such people do it bcos they feel too big.
If you have time to respond to your superiors' messages, then,why can't you create time to respond friendly to friends' and families'?
HOW MUCH MORE THE BRETHREN?
I receive quite a lot of messages (chats_ WhatsApp and Facebook) daily, most especially in the ministry, most of them l have never met them one-on-one before.
If l can't that day, I do later and with apology, and I do with enthusiasm even when I am even overwhelmed with personal things.
Like now, I still have some messages on Facebook that l have not been able to respond to which are wishes and prayers from people to me on the 11th (my birthday). I received many messages that day and the following day most especially on WhatsApp and l have been replying them steadily.
I should have finished that, but we had a seminar on Sunday and the preparations for that over the weekend coupled with resumption to work yesterday and other things have been the challenge but certainly, when I do, it should be with enthusiasm and respect for them all.
My wife can testify to this. Many times, she will be the one asking me, "Dear, when will you go to bed?"
I know the implication of not responding or responding as if they are not human beings or lesser... THIS IS THE MINDSET THESE PEOPLE CREATE IN OTHERS CONSCIOUSLY AND UNCONSCIOUSLY.
You wouldn't know what can make a brother or a sister get disoriented emotionally or psychologically and even spiritually.
What you won't do to unbelievers bcos you know they will react, don't even try to do it to the brethren bcos you know they won't react.
"LET'S DO GOOD UNTO ALL MEN MOST ESPECIALLY THOSE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH."_ This is the Bible.
IF WE ARE CHRISTIANS, LET'S TREAT OTHERS LIKE CHRIST (CHRISTian).
