“Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” Ephesians 6:11

The devil is a wily foe! And there is not enough physical or mental strength to contend with his cunning tricks. It takes the spiritual strength of one grounded in the Living Word to identify his tricks for what they are. Irrespective of the method he uses, the devil’s aim is clear – to break your communion with God and cut off your dependence upon Him. One of his most common traps – which most of us encounter on an almost daily basis – is offence. The major challenge is that when we get offended, we hardly realise how trapped we are!

But remember – no one knows you better than you know yourself. If you discover the peace of heart and internal joy Christ promised His followers has started seeping out of your daily life and decisions, take time to examine yourself. Are you harbouring offence in your heart? Is your spirit free? People of God, stop making it easy for the devil!

Be encouraged by this powerful quotable quotes by anointed servants of God -:

“Hurt happens, forgiveness is the best choice, so choose forgiveness.” Pastor Tim Coop, Pantano Christian Church, USA. May 2003

“Hurt happens, it is the devil’s bait, so don’t take it” Pastor Glen Elliott, Pantano Christian Church, USA. May 2003

“You will receive in a moment what you have been seeking for years when you let go of offence!” Prophet TB Joshua, SCOAN Nigeria.

“Let go and let God be God in every moment of your life for victory” Pastor Tim Coop, Pantano Christian Church, USA. June 2006

PRAYER: My heart is the prayer room. LORD, speak to my heart; let me hear Your voice! Help me to let go of offence that I may be sensitive to the leading of Your Spirit – in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

“All a man’s ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the Lord.” Proverbs 16:2

Most of us live our lives so focused on how we are doing, how we are feeling and how we are treated but do we ever take time to stop and consider what Jesus’ focus is? We know God by the Word He speaks and His Word represents His heart’s desire. A look at God’s words will not take you long to realise that what He is looking at is most often not what we are looking at!

➡️ In a shepherd boy, he saw a king (1 Samuel 16:7)
➡️ In a convicted criminal, he saw a heart to change (Luke 23:43)
➡️ In a few pennies of the widow’s mite, he saw a true act of worship (Mark 12:41)

That is because Jesus’ focus is the motive behind what we do – that is why He tests our hearts to reward us. So don’t be too quick to rejoice, to condemn, to criticise the actions of others because Jesus is interested in the motivation of our heart. It is time to examine your own motives. Why do you do what you do? Do you talk to be seen, walk to be noticed, give to be praised?

PRAYER – Ask God to give you a heart that is pure, a heart that does not bear grudges, a heart that is simple and sincere, not a rebellious heart – in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

“Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before: ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.’ ”

Hebrews 4:7
Can you hear God’s voice today? Or is your heart so full of yesterday’s pain and tomorrow’s uncertainty? It is only in the present you can enjoy the gift of God. Only today is yours.

If you examine your life, you will see that all the worries, concerns and anxiety you had about tomorrow did not actually come to pass.

How much time do you waste in worrying so you cannot live in the present?

Yesterday is history, today is opportunity while tomorrow is mystery.

But how many of us trapped by past pain and gripped by anxiety of future uncertainty are truly able to grasp the opportunity of today?

Only today is yours. What will you do with this moment?

Will you listen to the voice of God – the voice of love, the voice of freedom, the voice of hope, saying?

“Now is the day of salvation!” (2 Cor 6:2).

Love frees us in the present.

Learn to live today.

“God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?” Numbers 23:19, NIV

Do you ever take time to stop and reflect on the faithfulness of God, to meditate on how He has answered your prayers? You cannot separate God from His will, promises and time. The prayers of many years are never lost. They will come back to you a hundred-fold at God’s appointed time. Many have even come back to you but because you have forgotten the prayer you offered, the answer appears unseen.

Are you tempted to doubt God’s goodness towards you? Listen to Joshua who assured the Israelites that they had seen every one of God’s promises fulfilled (Joshua 23:15).

Are you questioning if God hears your prayer? Learn from Daniel who as soon as he began to pray, an answer was given (Daniel 9:23).

Are you conditioning God by expecting the answer to your prayer to come in a particular way? Ask Simeon and he will tell you that the answer to his prayer came in a way he never imagined (Luke 2:25-29).

Prayer is an acknowledgement that there is a superior realm that controls the physical and invisible world. God always answers the prayer of faith yet He doesn’t always answer in the letter. Although it may appear unseen, begin to thank God for a more glorious answer to your prayer than you could ever imagine.

“That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:10 NIV

Oftentimes, God works through the circumstances of life – your difficulty, sickness, disease, affliction, setback, attack for you to see His position. If we rely on our natural strength, it will one day let us down. Where does the strength come from to see the race to an end? It comes from within.

The world may see strength in force, in dominance, in always winning. But my Saviour taught me to look at life the other way round – that the greatest strength is in surrendering to God, going the path of humility and self-denial.

Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go. True strength is to forgive all. To love from the heart. To dishonour ourselves so that Christ may be honoured.

True humility is not weakness – but strength. Unless we are humble, we will not bow to God or seek Him for assistance (James 4:1). It is not a matter of combining our strength with God’s strength but a total and complete removal of our strength to put on God’s own.

Then like Apostle Paul, you can say, “When I am weak, then I am strong”.
