After creating humans, God gave them a great treasure called the WILL, He also gave them the POWER To control that WILL. The ability to decide to do or not to do a thing. The devil is aware of this. So what he does, is that he manipulates the minds of his victims by injecting defeat and slavery into it. He rejoices when he knows and sees you’re his captive.
I remembered when I was below 10years of age, one of my elder brothers offended me. I can’t actually remember what caused the offence and the spirit of anger as usual empowered me and the next thing I did was to rush out for a knife. I don’t know if I was to use the knife on myself or on my brother.
Have you ever done or said something in anger or do you know any who has taken an action while angry?
What happens afterwards?
Nothing but Regrets! Regrets! Regrets!
The devil presented the same mindset of pride that was responsible in chasing him out of the abode of God, to be equal to God. And Eve fell for it. That was the beginning of mankind’s problem.
The devil has always been the father of liars. Eve lived in abstinence until the eyes of them both were opened after eating the forbidden fruit and then Adam went into his wife and she conceived and bore a son. Genesis 4:1.
Offence is a sure plug for every human notwithstanding how careful or extra-careful one tries to be. Everyone desires absolute peace within and without. Irrespective of how we strive for peace, there comes a moment when we will be offended.
Most marriages are shattered because of a continuous practice of selfishness and a lot of
young people are unaware of this deadly disease.
Selfishness is rude and deadly. It breeds ingratitude, prioritises oneself, doesn’t accept
mistakes, lack of understanding, taking all decisions by themselves, hurt, disrespect and
resentment.
While growing up as a child I saw failed marriages but never understood it. As a young single lady, I saw and heard of many failed marriages. Most of the stories of failed marriages I saw and heard were of people I know.
Dear waiting young man and woman looking forward to doing the will of God in the matter of finding a life partner, kindly check out for an autograph of peace.
Having that autograph of peace boldly written in your inner mind and all around you is one of the key checkers to know if he or she has passed God’s own assessment and found worthy of you.
Are you among those who sing about others’ immoral sins, despise them and talk evil about them?
But you plant discord among people, you slander, you hate, you bear false witness because of a promised gain, you lie, you cheat.
You know what! You deserve discipline as well.
When we are not careful to keep track of all the things, we lose our minds.They sit in our mind and occupy the spaces making it difficult for us to find out what really matters to us.
When we keep all kinds of things in our mind we spread ourselves too thin that we spend less time with what actually matters to us.
Parents must understand that there are two primary reasons they have the authority embedded on their lips which are,
To command worship to God and
To call the things that aren’t into existence.
If you are a person of purpose and you go as far as finding a life partner who has little or no connection with your purpose, thinking to intimate him/her when the time comes, then you haven’t any vision attached to your purpose. Why? If the goal is not met, of what use is the purpose?
All this time you may have been focused on your problems because you want to get out of them, but you have been focusing on the wrong thing. If you want to get out of a situation,
“Don’t focus on that situation but rather focus on the solution”.
Have you wondered why the Church of God in general is cold and filled with more unregenerated, prayerless, unholy, merciless, hateful, less compassionate, lying, immoral etc folks?
Wonder no more.
Unfortunately, the perverse nature of our generation has made many find gratification in misplacing these senses.
Perhaps the nose for sight, the tongue for smell, the eye for touch perception, etc.
Nothing in this life is more important than your soul. After your time on earth is done, you will leave your businesses, customers, social media accounts, certificates, pulpit, position, family etc and face the judgement throne.
God is bound to a certain level of abstinence by His words and principles and so must be given access to certain levels of control in order to take full control. This is to say we must consciously invite Him into our decision making and yield to Him completely trusting that whatever He decides is best for us. No second-guessing it.
If you, being like or better than that teacher, writer, public speaker, preacher, employee, student, is targeted at bringing them down so that you can be above them, then, it’s a destructive comparison.
Isaac was a seed of prophecy and had prophecies that went out before he was born. He lived out prophecies accordingly.
Jacob wasn’t an exception as well as John the Baptist. From the birth of John, everything he did was in accordance with the prophecies that went on before his birth.
When we make choices out of our physical sight instead of our faith in God and in His revealed mind to/for us, for the benefit of our flock instead of family, for the benefit of our pride, instead of integrity, for the benefit of our flesh instead of our soul, we inadvertently bear the consequences of our choices, which usually turns out to be bitter experiences.
In like manner, God does not take what is befitting to his children and give it to those who are outside the kingdom who have no knowledge of the value of the substance. Neither will he be so unreasonable to give what is of less value to his deserving children.
The woman is supposedly the least of God’s creation; in the order of creation, she is God’s last born creation) but to her is given the ability to make, build and preserve generations.
It is in her to build her empire and set it on high.
