STRIFE

Proverbs 20:3 "It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling."

The book of proverbs is full of wisdom, if you want to grow in wisdom read the book of proverbs. This time Proverbs 20:3 caught my attention. It mentions that it is honorable to cease from strife (Conflict, fight, friction, rivalry). It is very important to avoid strife. Avoiding strife is very helpful to our spiritual growth. Some people like strife, they just want to continuously cause friction and conflict. One thing I have noticed about people like this is that they are rarely peaceful.

The Bible mentions that one who is continually meddling (Intrusive, noisy, officious(bossy)) is a fool. Don't allow yourself to be a fool. Avoid strife, some comments and fights are really not necessary. Allow people to get away with some things now and then. Be accommodating of others. Please don't be known for always fighting people unnecessarily. Don't be known as someone who always pushes people around. Allow God to use you as a person who brings peace. Cease from strife.

One man said people who are always causing strife are not at peace with themselves. When we have strife within ourselves it will be manifested in the way we relate to others. I encourage you to allow God to sort you inside so that you may be free from strife and be honorable. As we surrender to the will of God, the less conflict we will have. Be blessed and remain honorable.

The Enemy "Time Waster"

Many times I hear people saying "the devil did this and that" and forget that they are Christians. Everything and I mean everything that happens to us as children of God happen because God allows it to happen. It may pain him to allow certain things to happen to us but the truth is He is still in control. We give the devil or Satan too much credit. Everything weather good or bad which happens to me happens because God loves me. I am not going to go around rebuking the devil for everything but instead thank God for victory and deliverance. I have no time to waste fighting the enemy. I just do that automatically by doing the will of God. As I do the will of God He automatically gives me victory. we resist the enemy by doing the will of God and living in obedience.

Overcome Fear

Fear is very cunning. I believe this is an enemy to mankind. We can believe all we want in our minds that we have no fear, however it goes beyond that. Believing in just in your mind is not enough. We have to believe in our heart. Take a moment and trully search your heart. If you have fear about something acknowledged it. If we do not acknowledge our fears we will never be able to overcome and move forward. We can never overcome what we don't acknowledged.

Angry Unhappy Christians

Unfortunately its true, we do have angry and unhappy Christians. I always wonder why its like that. God promises us joy, peace and happiness and yet we still have a lot of angry unhappy Christians. I believe it’s time we re-evaluate our Christianity. Christianity is not supposed to be a bondage and a burden. It’s supposed to give us life in abundance. , We have a people who are Christians out of duty and not out of a free will and love for God. People are just afraid of going to hell and they are teaching other people fear and bondage instead of love and freedom. Bondage brings hatred, anger and unhappiness. It saddens me to see my brethren suffering and not enjoying Christianity. This week I encourage you to lighten up and stop judging everyone that comes your way. This week I encourage you to let go and let God be . Lets re-evaluate our Christianity, why are we Christians?
