Bless my enemies


Luke 6: 28 AMP

“bless and show kindness to those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”

Honestly, this is a very difficult thing to do especially when you are struggling to come to terms with the wrongs this person has inflicted upon my life. But I want to obey God and I want to be obedient in serving my Lord. Today I have come to a place in my life where I want to set these people free, even though I feel they don’t deserve it.

I want to pray for supernatural favour in each of their lives and I ask God to forgive them as I have forgiven them. I set them free and ask that the Lord will rain blessings over their lives. Let it be well with their souls. May they become Christians and serve God in truth.

Prayer

Humbly, Father, I come to You, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Lord, I want to pray to ask that You forgive me for not being obedient to Your Word. Lord I humbly stand before You and pray Lord, please forgive me. I have decided to forgive them in the Name of Jesus Christ. Bless each one of my enemies and give them their heart's desire. Lord blesses their lives and keeps watch over them. Lord thank You for this opportunity in being able to pray for forgiveness of sins, blessings in abundance in Jesus Christ Name. Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
