SPIRITUALITY IN TOM AND JERRY by Awotiku Akinlayo David

Final Episode Here is a little lesson Jesus taught us about our enemies (Matt.5:43-48). ‘Enemies’ was explained by Jesus in the same verse 44 ‘But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;’ the contextual meaning of ‘enemies’ here refers to human being persecuting us not the devil which is the real enemy. Jesus understood clearly what we termed to be enemies in our human understanding since he was also human as at that time. Jesus told us to love them, give gifts to them and be good to them, bless them and pray for them that they might also come to the knowledge of the truth, this is when you are showing that indeed you are truly a child of God, it shows you are a merciful child just as your father in heaven is merciful (Other reference on this is in Lk.6:27-36), It means you are portraying your father’s attributes. Don’t waste time trying to kill them with dangerous pr...

Episode 2 The truth is that when you pray for their death and they eventually die, you are wasting souls and you are trading them with devil free of charge because your success is even with God not with devil. Devil is the main enemy of Christ and Christ already defeated him, in the real sense he is powerless over us, hence he uses unbelievers to threaten us by trying to kill, steal and destroy us, it is not in your position to destroy any enemies as Christians by prayer, you can but you shouldn’t do that, however you can nullify their plans and destroy their works through prayer spiritually, that is very good but I urge you not to pray for their deaths because human may die, the real enemy which is the devil will never die, all he just have to do is to find another available vessel to use against you. According to 1Tim.2:4, it is God’s desire for all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, if God had killed Saul while he was persecuting Christians even before he sta...

Episode one! Wait! Did I just hear you think about how funny this topic is? What has Tom and Jerry cartoon got to do with spirituality or Christianity? How is cartoon comedy related to them? These were the exact questions I was asking the Holy Spirit when He gave me the topic, I ignored at first but he kept talking about it, I just couldn’t resist but to share it with my fellow Christians so I made enquiries and ask Him more questions about it, I later discovered it is a sensitive and crucial topic battling with Christians due to their high level of mediocrity. Tom and Jerry is a comic cartoon, so hilarious that you can see severally and still laugh at the same scenes, even adults laugh when they watch despite how childish it can be, but I’ve got little lesson which I’ve driven out to share with you from their lives. Tom is the cat and Jerry is the mouse, every viewers know the rate at which they hate each other, they hunt and play deadly pranks on each other which result in hurting...
