“Mr. Cain”
Monday, April 21, 2025Key Verse
“And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.” Genesis 4:8
Text — Genesis 4:8-16
Message
Mr. Cain was the first child born into this world. His parents were Adam and Eve. Later, the family was blessed with another son named Abel. When they grew up, Abel became a shepherd and Cain a farmer. One day Cain brought some of his harvest and made a sacrifice unto God. Abel also brought an offering of his harvest. God who knows the hearts of all men rejected Cain’s offering, but accepted Abel’s offerings. Cain became jealous because God had accepted Abel’s offering, but not his. Because of this, he let anger to grow in his heart. God warned Cain of the jealousy that had crept into his heart. But, instead of doing what was right, his angry heart made him think in a way to get rid of his brother. When something happens that makes us feel jealous or angry, we must stop those selfish feelings and thoughts right away.
- Ask God to make your heart clean and give you His peace.
- If you are jealous of someone, make a point of being kind to that person. Also, be grateful for what you have- even the little things.
When you are tempted to become jealous or do wrong, remember Mr. Cain, pray and ask God to help you overcome the temptation. By following Jesus’ example of love, you will find it a lot easier to get along with others.
