The Way Of The Body Of Christ VI by Minister Bwayos (1Peter4:9)

1 Peter 4:9
Use hospitality one to another without grudging.(KJV)

The dictionary definition of hospitality is : the act or service of welcoming, receiving ,hosting , or entertaining guests.

The Greek word for hospitality is Philoxenos , meaning to be hospitable or generous to guests.

Lets amplify today's portion of scripture .

1 Peter 4:9
Practice hospitality to one another (those of the household of faith). [Be hospitable, be a lover of strangers, with brotherly affection for the unknown guests, the foreigners, the poor, and all others who come your way who are of Christ's body.] And [in each instance] do it ungrudgingly (cordially and graciously, without complaining but as representing Him).(AMP)

The bible say that be hospitable to the members of the body of Christ, and also to the unknown guests/ strangers and to foreigners without  complaining.

I have seen Christians who enter church and  take their seats comfortably without greeting their immediate neighbor.
Do you know that there are Christians who fight for the parking spot in the parking lot too?

As that street kid approaches your car, you don't need to turn up your window.
We normally ask the lord of the harvest and when he brings it to us, we abuse him by running away from it
.
You don't necessarily need to give that street kid money, some times they just need your smile, your brotherly affection.
You could be the answer to their healing, their deliverance from bondage etc.
Just get to the place of faith and prophecy to that street kid.
Tell them " i see a powerful man of God in you, i see a president in you, i see a queen in you, i see a nurse in you, . . in Jesus' name"

Welcome them, don't chase them away, you could be chasing away the harvest you have been fasting for or an angel from heaven.

Have a blessed day!

Scripture Reference:

Hebrews 13:2
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.(KJV)


Hebrews 13:2
Do not forget or neglect or refuse to extend hospitality to strangers [in the brotherhood--being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and doing your part generously], for through it some have entertained angels without knowing it.(AMP)
