Good Morning and Win 🏆 Today
Theme: Let God offense
The Man of God Apostle S.A Nkosi started delivering the message by asking congregants what is their take when someone does hurtful things to them. What is the action that they are going to take
And he went on to say, do you forgive and move one? Or retain it in your heart? Or do you take revenge.
It became so hard for the congregants to answer and this serves as a proof that indeed this message is from God and for us since this is the root cause of all our problems.
I mean families, business,churches, marriage and friendship has been destroyed by offense.
Brethren offense is indeed a tool that is used by our enemy Satan to trap us. Today we are unable to receive what we ask from God because in our hearts there is offense.
Let's take our scripture reading from the book of: Luke 17:1 AMP
[1] Jesus said to His disciples, “Stumbling blocks [temptations and traps set to lure one to sin] are sure to come, but woe (judgment is coming) to him through whom they come!
Brethren Jesus has said it that things to offend us will always be there all we need to do is to reject them from building or piling up in our hearts.
We need to forget yesterday and look forward to what tomorrow holds for us
Proof text: Philippians 3:13 AMP
[13] Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead.
Jesus desires to heal, bless and protect us.but the problem is: When we are offended the tongue is used to speak bad, to criticize, to swear and curse. As a result of offense nothing good comes out from the mouth of the offended and thus none speaks good when offended
This gives the enemy victory and thus destruction and havoc is the end result
Offense is the greatest tool that Satan uses to destroy or cause havoc.
We tend to forget what the word of God says about forgiveness.
Today God is unable to bring justice to us because we take the matter in our own hands by saying negative words, swearing, hatred and holding on offense.
As a true believer you must refuse to feel offended in order to avoid offending God.
Offending God is holding offense, let us forgive and forget and look forward to what tomorrow has in store for us
Let us let go of offense
We cannot receive from God while we are still holding offense in our hearts.
May God bless his word in the midst of our hearts.
Prayer!!!
I release all the people that has caused me pain in my life!
I release my self from offense
Lord help me to forgive and move on
Shalom!
