FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES…
No matter who you are or what your personality is, it is
impossible to live this life without some conflict along
the way, Bishop Jakes shares. Offenses come to
everyone and they are a part of life. Bishop Jakes
says, “…conflicts can be resolved and relationships do
have a future, if we learn to forgive.” We must be
willing to look at our own ability to hurt, offend, and
injure those around us, (who are often the people we
love the most) in order to forgive others. The Lord’s
Prayer provides us with a key insight into how we can
experience the joy and abundant life Jesus came to
bring us “Give us this day our daily bread and forgive
us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass
against us (Matt. 6-11 KJV). Bishop Jakes says many
people don’t realize when they pray this prayer they are
asking God to forgive them the same way they are
forgiving (or not forgiving) others. Also that these
words tie my forgiveness with my willingness to forgive,
and remind us of the way our hearts work. If we are
not humbled with unwavering gratitude for what we
have been forgiven, then it will be very difficult for us
to forgive other people for what they do to us. He also
says that an opportunity for you to forgive an offender
is not so much a test of how you handle power as it is
how you handle mercy. There is a thin line between
the offended and the offender. It is not that God is
punishing us in this prayer but rather our human
capacity to receive God’s grace is blocked when we are
not willing to forgive those who have hurt us. We
cannot embrace God’s forgiveness if we are so busy
clinging to past wounds and nursing old grudges. In
order to move into the blessings of our future, we must
relinquish the pains of the past.

(T.D Jakes)

What are you feeding on?

In life, growth is very important, and to grow the body needs some basic nutrient. The kind of nutrition or malnutrition the body undergoes will determine the kind of growth you will have. For many reasons people decide on different diet plans, keto, vegan, paleo, gluten-free diet just to name a few. These diets work the wonders they are designed to work. In the same way, whatever we ingest will determine what our output will be. Most times we are the product of what we take in. like someone on a diet who is cautious about their weight and eager to maintain a good shape, the result you will produce depends on what you feed on. As you are already guessing I'm not talking about the literal food we eat. What are you listening to? What kind of books do you read? What movies, TV shows, and series are you watching? Are they adding value to you or taking value away from you? Pause! Ask yourself this question again and answer sincerely, what are you feeding on? What you consistently feed o...

Rethink your circle

Who are those in your circle? What type of friends do you keep?  There's a saying that goes thus "the average of 5 people you walk with sums up your life" we could agree to disagree on this, your choice! but it still remains true. Interestingly sometimes you have a little setback or challenge and you are scared to share with your friends!! does that even make sense?  You be thinking in your head, If I tell them they will laugh and make jest of me  and they will not even take it serious no matter what.  What kind of a circle is that? Friends who can't relate with your situation, who can't understand and sympathize with you in whatever situation you are in, they are not friends at all, they don't merit that title.   You need to redefine what friendship is. There are people you talk to they don't necessarily have to be your friends. And then you have the true people who actually care who you can call friends. Most times you get it all wrong assuming because y...
