WHOSOEVER DIGS A PIT SHALL FALL IN IT

Esther Plans a Banquet

Est 5:1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.

Est 5:2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

Est 5:3 Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.

Est 5:4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.

Est 5:5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

Est 5:6 And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

Est 5:7 Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is;

Est 5:8 If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.

~ Haman's Pride

Est 5:9 Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.

Est 5:10 Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.

Est 5:11 And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

Est 5:12 Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.

Est 5:13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

Est 5:14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.

Haman caused his own downfall. First, he convinced the king to change the rule about judging matters that were relevant to himself. If the king had not had the power to judge matters in which he was an interested party, Haman's case would have gone to a tribunal, and he would not have been killed. However, because Haman convinced Achashverosh that Achashverosh should have the power to decide these matters, Haman had no recourse once his death sentence was pronounced by the king. In addition, if he had not erected an inordinately tall gallows, Charvonah would not have been able to point it out to Achashverosh, and Haman's death sentence might not have happened so swiftly, leaving him no time to beg for mercy. It was only because Haman wanted the whole city to see Mordechai hanging that Charvonah saw the gallows from afar and pointed it out to Achashverosh. Lastly, if Haman had only listened to his wife's request to take down the gallows, the gallows would not have been there for Charvonah to see. Haman's obstinacy caused him to leave the gallows up, and caused his downfall.

GOSSIP DESTROYS LIVES

READ THIS:   "

COMPASSIONATE GOSSIP Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29 The action of gossip To gossip is to speak in a way which raises questions or doubts about another or their character. Gossip is conversation behind someone's back, which puts them in bad light. (Such discussion is only appropriate when engaged in by individuals involved in church discipline.) The motivation for gossip Compassion or sincere concern is no excuse for gossip. No matter how pure or innocent the motive, raising questions about another still damages their reputation, ie: "I'm concerned for `So and So' because …" "I'd like to pray for `So and So', because they've …" "What did you think about what So and So said? I had trouble with it myself." "I am having a problem with `So and So,' because of such and such. Could you pray for me?" "I heard such and such about `So and So.' Do you know if that's true?" "Have you heard that `So and So' was being investigated for such and such? They need our prayer." "But I know what I say to be TRUE -- so it's not gossip." (Where does the idea come from that words are only gossip if they are not true?) Gossip destroys another's reputation, whether intentionally or accidentally. The most famous excuse for gossip: "I only mentioned it because I was concerned." If personal concern excused gossip, 90% of all gossip could be justified. If the one speaking the gossip was genuinely concerned, they would have come to the one they gossiped about, and not raised doubts about them to someone else. Even one who repeats hurtful gossip back to the slandered one, rather than confronting the slanderer, participates in gossip. The one originally speaking the gossip should be corrected and sent back to reconcile with the one they are gossiping about. God's solution for those who have concerns for another is for them to go to the one they say they are concerned about. That way they don't accidentally gossip. Distinctions of Gossip: A gossip is one who tells truth to others -- not just lies. A gossip is one who reveals matters which should have been kept private. A gossip is one who isn't worthy of trust. Prov 11:13 A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret. halak, haw-lak'; to walk and carry; ie: a tale-bearer A gossip is one who shares with others that which is entrusted to him in secret. A gossip is one who says more than he ought, so should be avoided. Prov 20:19 A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much. rakiyl, raw-keel'; one who travels and carries tales, a talebearer, scandal-monger, a slanderer A gossip is one who stirs up dissension. A gossip is one who speaks things which cause hurt feelings, thereby dividing friends. Prov 16:28 A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends. nirgan, neer-gawn'; one who causes division; a slanderer:--talebearer, whisperer Prov 17:9 He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. A gossip is one who contributes to a quarrel by speaking of it to others. Prov 26:20 Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down. A gossip is one who damages his friends with his lips. Prov 11:9 With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous escape. A gossip is one whose words will not be without consequence -- on himself or others. Psalms 101:5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, him will I put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, him will I not endure. Leviticus 19:16 "'Do not go about spreading slander among your people. "'Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor's life. I am the LORD. One who speaks negatively of others is so full of himself that he speaks without restraint Prov 10:18 He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool [keciyl]. keciyl, kes-eel'; to be fat; ie: to be bloated with self (A fool is one who lacks self-restraint.) A gossip is anyone who sees a brother in sin, and does not follow Matthew 18, but tells others of his offense instead. As we are directed in Romans 16:17-18, such a divisive person should be avoided. Mat 18:15 "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. 16 But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector. Rom 16:17 I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. Effectively, we gossip when we speak in a negative way about another when they are not present to defend themselves. The facts spoken may be true and the speaker may be motivated out of concern, but if the one spoken about would not appreciate the conversation, it is gossip. _________________________________________________________________ ACCORDING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT, WHAT IS SLANDER OR GOSSIP? Gossip: (Greek) blasphemeo, blas-fay-meh'-o; to vilify; talk against; to speak irreverently: speak evil of; blaspheme blasphemia krisis, kree'-sis; railing accusation or judgment katalaleo, kat-al-al-eh'-o; to put down; to be a maligner, i.e. to slander:--speak against (evil of). katalalia, kat-al-al-ee'-ah; defamation:--backbiting, evil speaking. psithurismos, psith-oo-ris-mos'; secret, vicious whispering psithuristes, psith-oo-ris-tace'; a secret, vicious whisperer diabolos, dee-ab'-ol-os; a traducer, a slanderer, a false-accuser; literally - one who throws about phluaros, floo'-ar-os; bubbling over with words; one who says too much; excessively talkative loidoros, loy'-dor-os; one who spreads trouble with their mouth; abusive; a railer, a reviler epereazo, ep-ay-reh-ad'-zo; to make inflammatory threats towards or statements about; to insult, falsely accuse Slander: (Hebrew) rakiyl, raw-keel'; as traveling about; carry tales, a scandal-monger Lev 19:16 "'Do not go about spreading slander [rakiyl] among your people. "'Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor's life. I am the LORD. 'aliylah, al-ee-law'; in the sense of effecting; an exploit (of God), or a performance (of man, often in a bad sense); an act, a deed dabar, daw-bawr'; a word; something spoken Deut 22:17 Now he has slandered {'aliylah dabar] her and said, 'I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.' But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity." Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18 and the elders shall take the man and punish him. Effectively, slander is inaccurate information which presents a damaging view of someone, whether presented maliciously or innocently. - The best way to avoid slander is to hear both sides of a story and ask lots of questions before making charges. Prov 18:17 The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him. Prov 18:13 He who answers before listening-- that is his folly and his shame. We prove ourselves to be a fool if we judge a matter and formulate an answer before we have finished listening to determine the truth Checking out the facts with the accused also fulfills the law of Christ – "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." When someone passes on accusations without first checking them out with the accused to verify the truth of the reports, he inadvertently slanders when he passes on half truths or inaccuracies. NEW TESTAMENT PROHIBITIONS: Eph 4:31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. James 4:11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. Col 3:8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Titus 3:2 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men. 1 Pet 2:1 Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. NEW TESTAMENT CONDEMNATIONS: Rom 1:29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, psithuristes, psith-oo-ris-tace'; a secret, vicious whisperer 2 Cor 12:20 For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip [psithuristes], arrogance and disorder. 1 Tim 5:13 Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things they ought not to. 3 John 1:10 So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, gossiping [phluaros] maliciously about us. Not satisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church. THE CLEAREST NEW TESTAMENT PROHIBITION: Mat 7:12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Mat 22:39b … 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Our greatest motivation for not putting others in bad light is our obedience to the Law of Christ – we must love others as we want to be loved. If we do not want people to talk about us when we are not there, then we must treat them with the same consideration. As children of God, we must be alert to one of Satan's chief goals – to bring division to God's family. Offenses will happen in all relationships, so we must guard ourselves against harboring resentment, and sitting in judgment of one another. We must be especially careful to not fall victim to the devil's scheme and speak negatively of one another -- Christ's prescription in Matthew 18 must be followed. Before mentioning our concern to anyone else, we must speak first to the one who concerns us. We must "be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave" us. (Eph 4:32)

CONSIDER WHAT BIBLE VERSES AND PRAYER CAN DO

“For the Lord God helps Me; therefore have I not been ashamed or confounded. Therefore have I set My face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame” (Isaiah 50:7)

Prayer

Lord, what a privilege to be desired by You, to be wanted by You. Help me to embrace the full realization of how You see me. Blow away any chaff or dust which clouds my perception of whom I am in You or who I am called to be. Prepare my heart to receive Your visitation which will bring me face to face with You. Cause Your goodness to pass before me, around me and envelope me like a caressing wind. I lift my face and look full into the wonder of Your glory and magnificent grace. O’ that You have chosen me is beyond compare. Who am I to be loved so by You? I am indeed a pleasure of Your right hand.
I confess this is a new day—a day of visitation and revelation—a day of hearing Your voice. A time of vision and the manifestation of Your promises are before me. With complete acceptance, I embrace Your Word of love and affection. I am a beautiful gem of unrivaled quality formed by Your hand for Your glory. Even now as I close my eyes, Your wind, Your presence surrounds me like a blanket, carries me on its wings and propels me into the manifestation of vision. I am carried away by You. Amen

MY JAMAICAN SUMMER

When I was a Child, I  wear a smile that represent victory for all my female friends: yes, I have revenge for diappointed the most prestige men, for the rareness of  beauty and true luxuries in this world. I had known how to get to the heart of the hardest  man with only a smile. "feminity"... the thing is, my language was too radical in those days. I spent time of studying the men's faces in my album and identify their glowing awesomeness in some of them.

For these men knew that in order to be awesome, that they must have special qualities, grooming themselves few second before the flash blinded them was to endowed with the power of speech in the English Language, of which few understood the British English in Jamaica. Grown to be older, looking at the samr Album with the awesome male faces, is like magic to my eyes. I immediate grin to form a gracious round face in my eyes as a male from thealbum that is so real in my biology. The whole face was thus transformed. The eybrows that I saw, arched slightly, the oval of his cheeks was elongated. His full awesomeness was like the Jamaican Summer. This album with these photograph has spell that drag me into the big great Caribben Sea, where the water rested between by beautiful teeth, that eagered me to bite one of the picture of a awesome man from this album.

Oh, my eyes peered on this picture, as I lied on the warmed  Caribbean Sea Sand in the Parish of Trelawny Beach. This picture had won the deepest confident of my bleeding heart: most deserve, I am a female: for example a relative from the United States was the only color picture in the album, which is known to be John walter who was a lawyer, I asked mother who he was, mother instantaneously said he is your cousine. Oh, well, there comes the downfall of my dream, the man that I yarned for in this Album. My Jamaican Summer, I did not really enjoyed the beauty of my longing to meet the man of my dream from the album I found at Grandma's home in Jamaica. Those awesome male faces, left me in Jamaica- wondering about  " My Jamaican Summer" how did this happen? his presence was real. No one had told me about these picture until I found the album. A brief flash of my imagination- of panic appeared in my grandmother's unfailingly calm blue eyes. In an nonchalant voice , she said" I understand you were here to enjoyed your Jamaican Summer with the man from the album you had, unfortunately, he was your relative.

IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS OUR SAVIOR

Matthew 1:18-25; Matthew 2:1-12; Luke 1:26-38; Luke 2:1-20.

The Conception of Jesus Foretold

Mary, a virgin, was living in Galilee of Nazareth and was engaged to be married to Joseph, a Jewish carpenter. An angel visited her and explained to her that she would conceive a son by the power of the Holy Spirit. She would carry and give birth to this child and she would name him Jesus.

At first Mary was afraid and troubled by the angel's words. Being a virgin, Mary questioned the angel, "How will this be?" The angel explained that the child would be God's own Son and, therefore, "nothing is impossible with God." Humbled and in awe, Mary believed the angel of the Lord and rejoiced in God her Savior.
Surely Mary reflected with wonder on the words found in Isaiah 7:14 foretelling this event, "Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

The Birth of Jesus:

While Mary was still engaged to Joseph, she miraculously became pregnant through the Holy Spirit, as foretold to her by the angel. When Mary told Joseph she was pregnant, he had every right to feel disgraced. He knew the child was not his own, and Mary's apparent unfaithfulness carried a grave social stigma. Joseph not only had the right to divorce Mary, under Jewish law she could be put to death by stoning.

Although Joseph's initial reaction was to break the engagement, the appropriate thing for a righteous man to do, he treated Mary with extreme kindness. He did not want to cause her further shame, so he decided to act quietly. But God sent an angel to Joseph in a dream to verify Mary's story and reassure him that his marriage to her was God's will. The angel explained that the child within Mary was conceived by the Holy Spirit, that his name would be Jesus and that he was the Messiah, God with us.

REALITY TOUR

                                SOCIAL PROBLEM/ REALITY TOUR

                              ----------------------------------------------

                                       My Reaction To The Event:

On March 28, 2009, I took a Reality Tour with some other students from the city

Of Rochester, and the suburbs to view the way the poor people lived in the city

Of Rochester, and in addition obtained information about the welfare system in

 Rochester, their treatment towards the less fortunate’s.

My first reaction of the people that I saw as I sat in that big yellow bus peering

 Through the window were some people of color looking poor, homeless,

 Depressed and longing for love.  I could not believe these people were

Americans, because they were looking like people in the “Gutto” of a third

World country, I cried internally for them; my heart melted like an ice cube,

Knowing that this is the land of more than enough and people are suffering.  These people are not some wild animals; they are people, who have breath, flesh, and souls.   

 I look at the amount of money the government are spend in other countries killing innocent human beings, when that money could be taking care of the less fortunate’s in America.

 Money spending sending spaceship to the heavens that is control by God, Such scientific thinking should put aside until the people in America are well fed, sheltered, clothed, medically taken care of and are educated.  We must take care of our own before we take care of others.

For? What happened to their minds, when they walked the streets of Rochester and see these poor and destitute people sleeping and begging food for their belly?

Then again, I wonder, have they hearts for humanity or the hearts to build

Gabling houses and expensive apartment in the city to fulfill their own needs for

The greed of the almighty green dollars; My reaction, I wish I could get some of

The rich people to spend a night or day on the streets of Rochester, pretending

That they are homeless destitute and hungry in a weather degree of o foreign

 High without a coat on their backs and tell how would they feel.

When I got to the underground bridge and saw the condition of the poor

  Lived, in the swamp, with garbage; I almost fainted.   One of the

 Homeless man told the story of their ways of living under the bridge, he said,
“That it is very cold in the winter time, he is asking us if we have any blanket to

 Give it to the house of mercy, and they will give it to them”.  He continues his

 Conversation by telling us how badly they are treated, by the welfare system,

 We have to wait thirty days or more to get any assistance, and if we missed an

 Appointment, we have to fill out the application from the beginning and wait

Another thirty days, to be assisted.”  The reason why many of them stayed under neat the Bridge is that they cannot afford $5.00 per night to pay for shelter.   People who stayed in the shelter range from thirteen years old and up.  I cannot believe in my life that people in American suffered like this.  You know

There is a big difference between the third world Countries, and America, in the third world Countries,, people are people. Example, they help one another, by feeding them and sheltering them.  They have compassion toward one another; where love is Abound, they show it with passion and care.

 The Impact, it left a scar in my heart knowing that there are so many rich people here in Rochester and no one takes the time to analyze their surroundings.  The things that I have seen on this tour are very disturbing.  Because people living in the Community, are in the position to help in these conditions, but the rich and power does not recognize the poorer class; it seems like the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

. In addition, the powerful build bridges against the poor. These bridges need to be removed it has been there too long. The poor men work to keep the rich strong and powerful. Our objective as concern citizens is to see that the poor people in our community are equal treated.  People are sleeping on the streets, begging bread to survive, naked, uneducated, unhealthy, and been locked up in prison. Come on, are we living in the deserts of underground-unwanted world, with some poor, souls who are cast out, to be punish? Come on! We are living in America, the land of more than enough for everyone. We need to take care of our own before taking care of foreign land.

I am so happy I was invited as a Sociologist’s Student, to visit these sites. I had accomplished a lot from visiting the poor neighborhoods, and seeing their daily living. I do home each Student will take the time to return to these neighborhood, and do a good deed to these poor people. In fact, they could supply the poor with some warm blankets and give them few dollars to buy food for the belly. Again, I thank God, that I was chosen for this purpose.
