Conflicts Of Life.

In life there will always be conflicts. If it's coming from outside, you will stand and resist it, Satan knows that. So, he will use those close to you, in a very subtle way, where if you aren't sensitive in the spirit, you will fall for his manipulations.

I will use examples in the scriptures to illustrate my point;
Satan, used the serpent to get through to Eve; Eve, to Adam. The target has always been the head. But see the process, at which Satan accomplishes his aim.
Another example, is between Simon Peter and Jesus Christ: obviously Simon loves Jesus, likewise, Jesus love Simon. But in Matthew 16:13-19, after Jesus had asked about, what people think about His personality; and the disciples gave the public opinion and theirs; it was Simon, by the Spirit of God, that answered correctly. Yet, just a couple of verse later, Matthew 16:21-23 to be precise. After Jesus had told them about the next phase of His ministry; Satan snicked in on Simon, and began to rebuke Jesus, saying, "... Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee." verse 22. This sound reasonable, after hearing about what the next phase of Jesus's ministry holds. You'd think Peter words were words of compassion(he may be sincere); but they were Satan empowered words, trying to halt the next phase. Jesus knowing it roots, rebuked Satan out of Simon Peter. My question is, what about if Jesus had kept quiet because He didn't want to hurt Peter's feeling? A lot could've gone wrong.
We saw it in Adam and the fall. Adam could've questioned Eve and rebuked her, but he didn't. Probably, he didn't want to hurt her feeling.
We shouldn't be led by feelings, but by the Spirit of God. It's the subtle way Satan attack believers, he comes through the people we love, and because we don't want to hurt them, we give in to their demands; unknowingly, give in to the will of the enemy in the process. You see how Adam's error led to the suffering of humanity today. Those little mistakes, can put generations in bondage. Be Spirit led. Don't be afraid of conflict.

Jesus is Lord!

EXIGENCY

  You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 3:2.  Ever wondered how come so and so did such and got away with it, but when you attempted it, you got cut and punished for it? There could be chances you are separated to God as a chosen vessel [not certainly, but likely]. "if yes" , as a result, you can't do what you like, only what is permitted. The society have drifted to the place where people don't talk about purpose anymore except their individualistic goals. Well, if you came from God, He already has a plan for you, it is suppose to be your primary assignment in life to discover it. Not to ignore it, in pursuit of your own self centered aspirations, it may not go down well. Some of the reasons you were probably rejected in certain areas in life is not because you aren't qualified, but because you're out of place. When God chose Abram, he didn't succeed in anything else even at 75yrs...

Choose To Forgive

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" Matt. 6:12;14. The Scripture admonish us to forgive not just debts, offenses, etc. In Isa. 43:25 God had to forgave us for His own sake, meaning each time we have unforgiveness in our heart, it limit the flow of the anointing which is the power of God at work in us. Many think they are perfect, but non is perfect and sinless before God, except by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is by grace. 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." it does not matter the personality, not even Peter, James and John could claim righteousness without Jesus Christ and the blood. So we don't have examples to pattern after except Jesus Christ, He is the RIGHTEOUS (1John 2:1). We must be mindful, man will always want to make himself the pattern for others to follow after, like ...

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....
