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.

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?

He has been given the Platform

It is very painful and upsetting to see how the devil has been given a platform to show what he can do and what he is capable of. He has been given a platform right here in the church. He plainly tells us that he comes in the form of water spirits, witchcraft, snake spirits etc. He proudly manifests himself and our church leaders are happy when it happens. Our church leaders sometimes talk to these demons and play around with the them. Its simply a show. I would recommend that leaders just cast these demons out instead of giving them a platform. We have to understand that the enemy knows that people will not just listen to him so he will make ways to spread his message and he has found a way to spread his message right in front of our eyes in the church. Our church leaders like this because it causes curiosity and brings a lot of people to the church and that equals tithes and offerings. I was very surprised when watching TV the other day, a preacher in Zimbabwe mentioned that he wen...

He Protects

Ladies and gentleman, it is true. God does protect His own. If you desire protection from any force that may come against you, God is the answer. He is the one who constantly protects us. If we move ahead of God and never allow Him to surround us, we will definitely miss out on his protection. If you are a child of God I encourage you not to look for protection anywhere else but look for protection from our Father. We are safe under the shadow of His wings. Rest and be at peace knowing that God has got your back.
