Today's bible teaching: Be like a father to orphans, and take the place of a husband to widows

Sirach Chapter 4 Vs 1-10

1My child, do not mock the life of the poor;

do not keep needy eyes^* waiting.^a

2Do not grieve the hungry,

nor anger the needy.

3Do not aggravate a heart already angry,

nor delay giving to the needy.

4A beggar’s request do not reject;

do not turn your face away from the poor.

5From the needy do not turn your eyes;

do not give them reason to curse you.

6If in their pain they cry out bitterly,

their Rock will hear the sound of their cry.

SOCIAL CONDUCT

7Endear yourself to the assembly;

before the city’s ruler bow your head.

8Give a hearing to the poor,

and return their greeting with deference;

9Deliver the oppressed from their oppressors;^b

right judgment should not be repugnant to you.

10Be like a father to orphans,

and take the place of a husband to widows.

Then God will call you his child,

and he will be merciful to you and deliver you from the pit.

APC CHIEFTAIN UNLEASHES TERROR ON GOV EMMANUEL'S AIDE

Former Governor's Brother Hospitalized With Machete Cuts

A senior special assistant to Governor Udom Emmanuel, Mr Amanam Nkanga, escaped death by the whiskers when he was brutally assaulted and attacked with dangerous weapons by a caucus member of the APC, Hon Emah Bassey at his own hometown Ikot Nya in Nsit Ibom local government area.

Mr Nkanga younger brother of former Governor Idongesit Nkanga, according to eye witness accounts,  had accompanied the divisional police officer, DPO of the area, Mr John Umoh, to an APC gathering which blocked the only express highway linking Ikot Nya with Etinan, that had prevented road users from movement out of the area.

On their arrival,  Emah Bassey, a former two term member of the House of Representatives who had stormed the venue with a truckload of supporters swooped on him and personally allegedly brought out his long knife to severe the head of the Governor's aide.

Mr. Nkanga was said to have experienced a horrific treatment as dozens of weapons were physically unleashed on him by the suspected thugs, getting him subsequently hospitalized.

Amanam who was weakened by apparent loss of huge blood, explained that the former lawmaker simply jumped at him asking him, "why are you here," before inflicting the blows on him, and knocking him out of consciousness.

Two other victims of the attack were seen at the hospital emergency surgical theatre, with deep cuts on their hands and faces.
One of the victims who gave his name as Edidiong, lost part of his teeth and had a gash on his jaw.

Today's bible teaching: Do good to the righteous and reward will be yours, if not from them, from the LORD.

Sirach Chapter 12

1If you do good, know for whom you are doing it,^*

and your kindness will have its effect.

2Do good to the righteous and reward will be yours,

if not from them, from the LORD.^a

3No good comes to those who give comfort to the wicked,

nor is it an act of mercy that they do.

4Give to the good but refuse the sinner;

5refresh the downtrodden but give nothing to the proud.

No arms for combat should you give them,

lest they use these against you;

Twofold evil you will obtain for every good deed you do for them.

6For God also hates sinners,

and takes vengeance on evildoers.^*

8In prosperity we cannot know our friends;^*

in adversity an enemy will not remain concealed.^b

9When one is successful even an enemy is friendly;

but in adversity even a friend disappears.^c

10Never trust your enemies,

for their wickedness is like corrosion in bronze.

11Even though they act deferentially and peaceably toward you,

take care to be on your guard against them.^d

Treat them as those who reveal secrets,^*

and be certain that in the end there will still be envy.

12Do not let them stand near you,

lest they push you aside and take your place.

Do not let them sit at your right hand,

or they will demand your seat,

And in the end you will appreciate my advice,

when you groan with regret, as I warned.

13Who pities a snake charmer when he is bitten,^*

or anyone who goes near a wild beast?

14So it is with the companion of the proud,

who is involved in their sins:

15While you stand firm, they make no move;

but if you slip, they cannot hold back.

16With their lips enemies speak sweetly,

but in their heart they scheme to plunge you into the abyss.

Though enemies have tears in their eyes,

given the chance, they will never have enough of your blood.^e

17If evil comes upon you, you will find them at hand;

pretending to help, they will trip you up,

18Then they will shake their heads and clap their hands

and hiss repeatedly, and show their true faces.

Today's bible teaching: It is not appropriate for a sinner to sing hymns of praise, because his worship is insincere

Sirach 15 Vs 1-10

Good News Translation (GNT)

15 If you fear the Lord, you will do this. Master his Law, and you will find Wisdom.² She will come to welcome you, like a mother or a young bride. ³ She will give you wisdom and knowledge like food and drink.⁴ Rely on her for support, and you will never know the disgrace of failure. ⁵ She will make you more honored than all your neighbors; when you speak in the assembly, she will give you the right words. ⁶ You will find happiness and genuine joy; your name will be remembered forever.

⁷ But people who are foolish or sinful will never even catch sight of Wisdom. ⁸ She will have nothing to do with conceited people; she never enters the mind of liars. ⁹ It is not appropriate for a sinner to sing hymns of praise, because his worship is insincere.¹⁰ A hymn should be an expression of wisdom, inspired by the Lord himself.
