"Let brotherly love
continue".
"ONE'S OWN SIN AND NOT ANOTHER MAN'S CREED IS THE THING THAT MUST BE DESPISED, CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME". The major stimulate of conflict today is due to the diversity of creed and the absence of brotherhood. Crisis caused by the absence of brotherhood are so brutal and can only be resolved by the manifestation of brotherhood in the world. "A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle". This are the horrific consequences of the departure of brotherhood in a region. In other to halt this nightmares of conflict, We are to love, protect and make Sacrifices for our brothers not to hate and gratify in horrendous heinous act .We're to support, help and indulge in a variety of benevolent deeds for our brothers. But how can all this be achieved in the world were brothers of the same blood hate themselves, how much more in the world of condemnation and disapproval of Creed. How can humanity experience peace in a religious world, they claim to love and be committed to their doctrines but hate their fellow brothers just because his belief are different, for it is said, If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen". Condemnation is the Father of war, founder of jealousy and the beginning of persecution. The thought, "I'm right and you're wrong" is a seed fertile of hatred springing forth conflict and crisis as the end product. To fight for brotherhood with Religion produces war, A wise Ancient King once said "He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction". It is impossible to fight for brotherhood because all fighting is the annihilation of brotherhood. To think of putting an end to hatred by condemning and disdaining is the same as to try to quench fire by throwing fuel upon it . THE REASON WHY PEACE HAVE NEVER BEEN ACHIEVED IS BECAUSE OF THE EXTINCTION OF BROTHERHOOD. Brotherhood, the antibiotic for conflicts and the foundation of peace cries aloud on earth for it utilization of it fathomless power, but ignored by the doctrines of men. THE ILLUSION OF LIFE ARE REGARDED AS REAL BUT THE FACTS OF LIFE ARE DECLARED TO BE UNREAL. Before universal brotherhood is attained, particular brotherhood must be practiced, the adoption of a loving, magnanimous, humble, loyal, honest and kindly spirit towards those with whom we contiguous contact must be manifested, toward those who contradict, oppose, chastise and attack us, as well as those who love and agree with us. Universal brotherhood will remain unrealizable if particular brotherhood is not exercised. He who lacks brotherhood in his worldly duties will also lack the same quality in spiritual things. The man who keeps one eye on hatred toward his brothers and the other on Religion, thinking he can perform his Religion doctrines effectively while participating in heinous activities just to destroy his brother will be weak and half hearted in his Religion and will never accomplish any good and usefulness in the end. He will not be through either in his own toils or his creed, but will make a sorrowful business of both. Religion is not a necessity in life, brotherhood is the primary and essential requirement in life, it is the bedrock for peace and shaper of cooperation. All religion teach brotherhood, purity of heart, holiness of life, compassions, love and good will, they teach the doing of good deeds and the giving up of selfishness and sins. All this principles they teach are not dogmas neither theologies nor opinions, they are things to be done, practiced and manifested, they're not to be exercised in a hypocritical manner, "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me". He who has acquired the true nature and spirit of religion, who has attained the manifestation of brotherhood, possessing deep love in his heart for his brother, will avoid all discord and condemnation (see Ephesians 4:29). He'll never fall into the temptation of glorifying his own sect and trying to prove that it alone is right, or destroy others because they don't believe in the sect they exalt and further try to prove that they're false. As a true man does not speak in glory of himself or his own work, so the man of humility brotherhood and wisdom doesn't speak of his own Creed as being superior to all others. He doesn't seek to win people into his own sect by picking holes in the likeness of faith which are held sacred to other, “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets".
WHO IS YOUR BROTHER.
The
second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment
greater than these." "Let brotherly love continue".
A brothers are group of people of the same species,who share the same goal
(living) and tribulations (challenges of life) and support each other. Your
brother is the closest person to you, He is the essential person who you must
practice brotherhood, not his execution because his creed is different. All
humanity are brothers, "Have we not all one Father? Has not one God
created us? Why then are we faithless to one another, profaning the covenant of
our fathers"? we must manifest the spirit of brotherhood if PEACE and
UNITY must be experience in the world today. Murdering him is never the path of
peace, fighting him with scornful words or with weapon only stir up more anger
and conflict. For it is said, "Why do you pass judgment on your brother?
Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the
judgment seat of God". A true religion don't fight others because his
doctrines are different from theirs, he practice brotherhood which attracts
peace, if you can't not practice brotherhood with This member of yours, how can
you claim you love GOD. You all are of the same kind illustrated below.

If
there must be peace on Earth, we must "love one another with brotherly
affection; outdo one another in showing honor". All rampageous act
must be halt, the pilgrimage to eternal life is never attained by massacre,
"Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no
murderer has eternal life present in him", becoming a religious creature will
never ever save you from the wrath of GOD, what only saves you is your
obedience to HIS PRINCIPLES. Even the most religious continent and countries
suffers from the wrath of GOD ( see Romans 4:9-15). THE NEED FOR BROTHERHOOD IS
MORE CRITICAL THAN YOUR RELIGIOUSNESS, the rising up of religion is not
against any outward enemy; not against brotherhood, nor the principles of the
Kingdom but against delusion, mischief, black magic, principalities, wickedness
in high places, ignorance, folly and misery which beset him in the dominion of
his own heart. One thing each religionists must always bear in mind is this,
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood (brotherhood), but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places". Knowing this, let all
conflicts be abstained and "Let brotherly love continue".
THE
BROTHERHOOD.
"Look
how good and how pleasant it is when brothers (Humans) live together in
unity". WHERE THERE ARE NO BROTHERHOOD PEACE AND UNITY ARE EXTINCT,
RESULTING TO THE TERMINATION OF EVOLUTIONS. Evolution is only another word for
progress, it represents perpetual achievement and change, but a unique change
accompanied by transformations and growth for a purposeful future. Where theRE
Are no unity, cooperation cease to exist.disobliging CREATE leakage FOR DANGER
TO PENETRATE. No prey can ever be capture when it's in the companies and armies
of it brother, unless there's a leakage or a disagreement before it predator
can penetrate and destroy it prey. We are one in this world and together we can
defeat all terrors and treat to humanity if only there's an alliance. Man
is a spirit and spirit have no religions, color, gender, possession and the
physical materials of the world. All men are from the same source, either he
believes it or not. "For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified
all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers",
all racisms of all kind is a waste of energy, and time, it's worthless and
foolish to a rightful minded man. Your brother is your brother, you can't
change the fact, you might be different in body color, looks, creeds, gender
and many more but you're from the same source. You all possess an earth suit
(the body and it organs), The mind and will, equal time, the same natural
resources and many more, in fact you all experience life and death. With the
knowledge of this, why do you choose to remain foolish. Why do you choose to
fight for the source of your religion by destroying other sect, is it by
killing innocent lives you make eternal peace? Or is it in the blood of saint
you find joy in heaven? Who gave you the authority to ill-treat some one
because of his color complexion, gender, social status and wealth? Are you his
creator, do you know the numbers of his hairs on his head, can you create a
finger? VERILY VERILY HIS WAYS are not yours neither HIS THOUGHT yours. For the
sake of humanity, "Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins,
rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him". "Be not righteous
(religious) over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou
destroy thyself"? A true doctrines is never afraid of any other doctrines,
it is never afraid of the possibility of getting extinct. A true Creed can
never be intimidated nor destroyed, it is the kingdom within you, the Kingdom
of heaven and bliss.

Just
like the masons of Babel, they practiced brotherhood and was able to cooperate
in unity by building a tower (see Gen 11:1-9), THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCE FOR
SUCCESS AND PROGRESS IS BROTHERHOOD. WHEN MEN BECOME UNITED THE WORLD BECOME A
PERFECT PLACE. What we need in the world is brotherhood, we don't need
racialism, for as "Iron sharpens iron, and one man (human) sharpens
another" only by this the world can be a better place not by fault
finding. Brotherhood is very essential, "For if they fall (fail) one will
lift up his fellow (bother) But woe (suffering) to him (any) who is alone ( do
not practice brotherhood), when he falls ( experience sorrows or fail) and has
not (no) another ( brother) to lift him up (help him) Again, if two lie
together (if there is brotherhood), they keep warm (cooperation and hope exist
during hard times),but how can one (a human) keep warm (saves himself) alone?
And though a man (problem) might prevail against one (any human) who is alone,
two (brotherhood) will withstand him (danger)—a threefold (brotherhood) cord
(hedge) is not quickly (never) " broken (defeated). "You shall not
hate your brother (your fellow humans) in your heart, but you shall reason
frankly (resolve the matter honestly) with your neighbor (fellow human)
lest you incur sin because of him", Finally, all of you, have unity of
mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Being too
religious is not the solution, before you find fault in another man Creed,
research about yours (see Matt 7:5). "If any man among you seem to be
religious, and bridleth (controls) not his tongue (words) but deceiveth his own
heart, this man's religion (doctrine) is vain". WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS IS
BROTHERHOOD NOT THE DIVERSITY OF CREED.
