--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

TOPIC -  DO NOT BE A WICKED NEIGHBOUR

Read: Leviticus 19:13-18

 [13]Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.[14]Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.[15]Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.[16]Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.[17]Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.[18]Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD

MEMORISE: _The soul of the wicked desires evil; His neighbor finds no favor in his eyes_ (Proverbs 21:10).

EXPOSITION
When you live next to, or near another person, you become his or her neighbour and vice versa. Those people you share boundary with in the market place, are your neighbour, as you too have been their neighbour. Today, God has this massage for you that you should avoid being a wicked neighbour. In a very simple term, a wicked neighbour is the one who is morally bad to the people around him or her. According to our memory Scripture, a wicked neighbour always desires evil to the people around him; he is always suspicious of them and never sees anything good in the people. A wicked neighbour is a great calamity, just as a good one, is a great advantage. Who are you? (Read Ex. 20:16-17; Lev. 19:13; Deut. 19:14; Ps 15:3; 28:3; Pro.3:28).

Assuming you are one of the fifteen people sharing boundaries together in a particular street as co-landlords, and you always complain about the remaining fourteen people, you are the one to check yourself very well. If you are a kind of person other people find it difficult to live with, you need to work upon your character. Being a wicked neighbour is a costly game everyone needs to do away with. It can cost one his reputation, protection, dignity, and most importantly, it can cost one his own very life. If you are wicked to everybody around you, who will keep you aware when evil thing is coming to you? It is the will of our Lord Jesus Christ to love our neighbours *(Mark 12:31).* Do not forget your neighbours could be anybody. John Calvin in his Golden booklet of the True Christian life says, _“The Lord commands us to do good unto all men without expectation, though the majority are very undeserving when judged according to their own merits…_”.

As a Christian, you must see yourself as a mirror to your neighbours, and in that mirror, they must see the reflection of Jesus, if that mirror is cloudy or distorted, Jesus’ reflection will be so vague, and hardly be seen. Therefore, always take care of your character to reflect Christ well in your neighbourhood. A normal Christian life should be an extension of heaven on earth

PRAYER POINTS
1. I refuse to be a wicked neighbour where I live, work and play in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, grant me ability to be a good example for the unbelievers in my environment, so that we will be good representatives of You among unbelievers.
3. Lord, give us all the enablement to love our neighbours as ourselves.
