Fascinating isn’t it, when you see two cocks of the same kind(specie) fighting one another? Then you begin to wonder, "why and how did these two cocks bear such hatred against each other?, fighting even to death?".
Here’s an extract from the website of United Poultry Concern
“.....Male birds who fail to fight simply are not bred. Indeed, they are not allowed to live. Those who "fight" normally, are also avoided. It is only those who are truly abnormal in the manner in which they attack male competitors that have subsequently been used for breeding. And even that does not satisfy the cock-fighters, so they augment the natural spurs on the birds’ tarsi with artificial ones, prod the birds with close contact, and confine them in absurdly small spaces lacking in vegetative cover or complex visual stimuli in order to achieve the degree of injury and death that attends cock-fighting. It is an entirely contrived and artificial situation using birds whose behaviour simply does not exist in nature, except to a shadowy, nascent degree – brief encounters with much apparent fury but little or, far more likely, no damage. Damaging the opponent is not the purpose of these encounters; it is the purpose of cock-fighting.”
Notice the role players, as explained in the extract above- the owners of the cock (cock-fighters) and the cocks themselves. The owners are the main intriguing factor to the cocks, but the intrigue depends on the degree of the cocks characteristics- There are:
Those who fail to fight
Those who fight normally and
Those who fight abnormally
As humans, in what ways have we allowed ourselves to be intrigued by the devil and his demons to cause us to hate and fight one another, even to the death? God doesn’t want this! It’s not the kind of world my Creator intended for. He gave us freewill to choose, but doesn’t and wouldn’t stand with evil.
My question for you today is: What kind of Human will you be? The one who is ready to hate, or Love? Please lets come back to God, and pray to live, reflect, and radiate the perfect life of Christ which is LOVE!
Matthew 22: 34-40
But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
1 Peter 5: 8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”
I pray God will keep us in the Light of His Love- Jesus Christ(the way, the truth, and the Light!) in Jesus Christ name! Amen!!!
