TO SERVE OTHERS, YOU MUST FIRST SEE THEM
by eric d.graham

The Bible says: " A certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the Temple, which is called Beautiful, to ask alms "pity, mercy," from those who entered the Temple, who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the Temple, asked for alms. And fixing his "Eyes" on him....Peter said, "Look at us." So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. (This is what I coined in college a Beggar on a Bag of Gold...)

Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of the Most High, rise up and walk." And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the Temple with them-walking, leaping, and praising the Most High."

Now, this is a metaphysical story, with esoteric meaning. Especially, for those, in the Nation of Islam, or Brothers of the Craft, who know about the "Master's grip, which has the ability to pull one, whom was perceived to be dead, out of a shallow grave and stood upright "carefully", on a perpendicular or upright on the square.

See, in elementary geometry, the property of being perpendicular (perpendicularity) is the relationship between two lines which meet at a right angle (90 degrees).

But, unfortunately, many preachers and false prophets such as Peter Popoff and Benny Hinn have used this story to deceive people, especially, the elderly, with old healing scams and hustles, where one pretends to heal someone with a walker, crutches or in  wheel-chairs.

SEE, this miracle, in the scriptures, begins with the words: "And fixing his EYES on him.....Peter said, "Look at us." And it continues with the words: "He took him by the right hand and lifted him up." (This is called the Right Hand of Fellowship in your church ritual, if you didn't know.)...There is more hidden wisdom within this passage, which for sake of time I will not reveal at this point.

However, OVERstand this, in certain Zulu areas of South Africa, people greet each other with a phrase that means "I SEE YOU " Could this be The Most High's strategy for human hurt? First, kind eyes meet desperate ones. Next, strong hands help weak ones. Then, the miracle of The Most High is made presence.

Again, this is why in (Matthew 18:20), it states: For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." As a result, life at the Beautiful Gate begins to be just that-"beautiful." To serve others you must first SEE them- And to lift them- You must first LOVE them- Because, you know The Most High Does.

Hence, (John 4:20) states: "If a man say, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
Because, I am taught by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad that EVERYTIME, I SEE -"look, behold; observe, perceive, understand; experience, visit, inspect" a so-called Black Man or Woman, I am looking at (God)......

Regardless, of his past or present condition.
