BLESS (a reminder)

-
Definitely we feel pain and hurt when we are wronged, betrayed or hurt. More painful if it comes from a loved one.

Betrayal tears at the heart and the easiest thing to do is to wish evil for the one who hurt us. We could be tempted to curse with outspoken words or in our heart.

This blessed Sunday we are reminded to bless and not to curse.

Romans 12:14
 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

Luke 6:28
 "bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.

Romans 12:19
 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

It is not that it is easy to do, however the Holy Spirit is there to help us.

That is why He came to live inside of us.

[If you are reading this and yet to recieve, Yeahua, Jesus the Christ as your Lord and Saviour. The struggle continues. Why not let Him have control. We will yet stand before Him. Let us meet him as friends not as one who rejected Him. "John 15:15"]

If evil which we wish or speak as a curse manifest on those we see at a point in time as an enemy, it won't increase our joy.

What if that one really do repent, with regret of the wrongdone and seeks your forgiveness.

 So then it is wise to follow the Spirit's counsel.

Matthew 5:44
 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

May, LOVE, which is the first character of the Holy Spirit and whose name God bears overtake us that we will BLESS and not curse. No matter how much we are hurt.

1John 4:7
 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

Let us train ourselves to it, the Character of God in us must be built up.

Romans 12:2
 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

We will fulfil it, yes we will bless and not curse.

God bless you.

Do have an awesome time with the brethren today.

Again I say

God bless you.

Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
