SELFISHNESS- A LIGHT THAT REFUSED TO SHINE

 Joh 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.


 SELFISHNESS- A LIGHT THAT REFUSED TO SHINE

A certain nurse was on night duty. As she was closing in the morning, an accident victim was rushed into the hospital. By then, she had already painted her face and was just waiting for the nick of 8 O’clock before leaving. She refused to attend to the victim; she told the people who brought him in that, they should wait for the nurse that would take over from her. At 8 am on the dot, she left. When she got home, she did not see her husband.

Later in the day, she was told that her husband just died from injuries sustained in an accident.

Later, she found out that the accident victim that was brought to her that morning, was her husband. If she had not been selfish, she would have administered first aid on the man and e might not have died.

Would you blame the devil for the death of that man?

Many of the problems of man will disappear, if he can remove selfishness from his life and the idea of engaging/in thoughtless action.

Many Christians might not want to face this fact, but majority are selfish in that they pray for themselves only. All forms of anger that most people engage in are motivated by selfishness. Most people are angry because someone has violated their right; they are interested only in themselves.

They think highly of themselves, such people forget that if they die, they cannot ask people to put them in a 12-foot coffin. No matter how rich or famous you are, it is 6 feet.

When you are bitter against someone, it is because the person has done something to hurt your pride.

God reconfigure my life to love my neighbor as myself in Jesus name.
