Verse:"Do everything readily and cheerfully—no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night so I’ll have good cause to be proud of you on the day that Christ returns. You’ll be living proof that I didn’t go to all this work for nothing." - Philippians 2:14-16
Many of us - me, sometimes - want to blend in with the world because of our persecution or how much it takes to follow Jesus. We always remember our suffering, but whilst we're in it, we never think of God's good promises. Whenever it's the good times, we never think of the bad or think it's very far. And it's in that moment, when you've stopped standing that the Devil will swipe you off your feet! We should NEVER let our guard down. Say, you hear that a powerful kingdom is coming to attack your city and you're a guard. Would you ever shut your eyes for just one second? No, because the enemy could sneak in. Paul said we should carry the light-giving Message to the whole world which is FULL OF EVIL. How can good reside with evil, darkness reside with light? No! Light will burn the darkness away, and good will destroy evil. If we knew how valuable our souls were, I bet you, everyone would be running to Jesus, but because Satan has blinded them, very few see God's light. (Further Study: 2 Corinthians 4:4)
When we do see God's light, we put away the yoke of Satan and replace it with the yoke of Christ. All jobs have their responsibilities. But that is the little we can do (obeying God and His commandments), to thank God for dying and coming back from defeating sin and death.
""In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold." - Ephesians 4:26-27.
Some of us cannot control ourselves and we get ourselves into anti-social behaviour. We can be angry, but don't let it last the whole day. Just let it go. Let it go. Forgive. Yes...
Question: But what if the person keeps on doing their thing to make me angry? What do I do?
Answer: Peter asked the same thing too.
"Peter got up the nerve to ask, “Master, how many times do I forgive a brother or sister who hurts me? Seven?”
Jesus replied, “Seven! Hardly. Try seventy times seven." - Matthew 18:21-22.
Wait, before you ask, the Bible says no one should count someone else's sins against them, it is a sin itself. So, really we should forgive...infinity times. No counting, just forgiving.
The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;
in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress." - Job 37:23.
God is not the reason for your oppression, Satan is. He wants you to feel oppressed. Command him out of your life now! That's your confession.
Confession: Lord, I now know the reason for my oppression and depression and command Satan out of my life, whatever his plan is it is cancelled in Jesus name, Amen!
