Each day comes with various kinds of obstacles or problems; and offences are one of them. People are prone to offend you one way or another. Oftentimes it might be unintentionally but it happens. 

 

 

 

Offences are natural phenomenons; a constant. It might come through bickering or arguments or somebody just doing what you dislike. According to the English Dictionary, it is described as a "sin committed against you and what you stand for".

 

 

 

However, as Believers, the moment we encounter this, what are we to do? How are we supposed to react and respond to someone who offends us?

 

 

 

Apostle Paul wrote this to the church in Ephesus.....

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of malicious behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you." [Ephesians 4:31-32 (NLT)]


 

 

 

According to Apostle Paul, whenever we get offended, instead of feeding on the wound and carrying the burdens in your heart, 𝐋𝐄𝐓 𝐈𝐓 𝐆𝐎! Get rid of it. Flush it out. No matter what has been said or done to you, just rid yourself of that burden. 

And how do you do that? By forgiving whoever offended you.

 

 

 

 

However, in some cases, the offence might be too great and painful. What should be our drive to forgive? Look at the last statement of the above verse, it says..."𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓, 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖". Forgive whoever offends you because God has forgiven you.

 

 

 

 

The moment you understand the manner in which God forgave you, you will know how we Believers are meant to forgive others. The book of Romans says that...."𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒅 𝒖𝒔 𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒚; 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒘𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒆𝒕 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔, 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒖𝒔". 

God didn't show us mercy when we were remorseful, He showed us mercy while we were still in enmity with Him. This is how we are supposed to forgave. 

 

 

 

 

I pray for you friends, that you receive strength, peace and understanding, to forgive all those who have offended you in one way or the other. 

I pray that the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, which passes all understanding fills your heart. Now and forever. Amen.

The Truth

 People tend to only understand what they believe in. . . . That's the scary thing about this life. People tend to only have understanding of what they believe in and only that. . . . Look at a child struggling with maths, for example. That little boy or girl is not dumber than the other ones or not blunter then the rest. The kid just doesn't believe in the subject, maths, for satisfaction.  . . . The little kid rather plays a lot of video games or watch movies and cartoons 24/7. Why? That's what the kid believes in for satisfaction. Hence he understands everything about video games and doesn't have a clue about anything regarding maths. . . . The same applies to every human being. Every single individual are more likely to have an understanding in what he or she believes is the Truth. . . . That's why there are diverse religions, political ideologies, conspiracy theories e.t.c. Also consisting of people who have gone deep into that specific belief. These people are...

ITS ONLY CHRIST THAT SAVES

 ITS ONLY CHRIST THAT SAVES. Romans 10:1 Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to God on behalf of the Jewish people is that they would be saved. Romans 10:2 I can assure you that they are deeply devoted to God, but they are misguided. Romans 10:3  They don't understand how to receive God's approval. So they try to set up their own way to get it, and they have not accepted God's way for receiving his approval. Romans 10:4 Christ is the fulfillment of Moses' Teachings so that everyone who has faith may receive God's approval. Apostle Paul saw that his people, though were very devoted about God, had no idea that they weren't saved. The Jews believed that the only way to God was through the Law of Moses and fulfilling its morals.  Jesus said "I am the Way, Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me". The Jews, though believed there is a Messiah, didn't know what the Messiah was saving them from. Hence, they rejec...

THE GOSPEL part 1

    THE GOSPEL part 1 What is the Gospel?  The Gospel is the message of GRACE..... as distinguished from the LAW.That means that the message of the Gospel (Grace) is a clearer image or better explanation of the message the Law was trying to portray. *Colossians 2 vs 17 *Hebrews 10 vs 1 What is the Law? Also known as the Torah, the Law is the name the Jews gave the first five books of Moses. It comprises of both the law given to Moses on Mount Sinai and the laws handwritten by Moses for the people of Israel. The Law was made to prevent the people of Israel from sinning. In Romans 2 vs 14, Apostle Paul revealed that there was also Law for the Gentiles such as Consciousness or thoughts judging their actions.      The Gospel cannot be fully understood and explained from the OLD TESTAMENT because Christ and His work is the true revelation. The Law was a faulty and unstable description of God's plan for mankind. What is the Gospel? "For God so loved the world, th...
