Christianity Etc › God Can Cancel Your Past (1) by Btruth(op): 2:18am On Nov 04, 2023
God can cancel your past (1)

Sat, 4 Nov 2023

‘He cancelled the record of the charges against us.’ Colossians 2:14

Jesus ‘cancelled the record of the charges against us … by nailing it to the cross.’ The word ‘cancel’ means to remove, to neutralise, to offset something. Have you ever got most of the way through a project and wished you could start over? Suppose you were painting the lounge, and you stepped back and looked at the colour on the sample chart. On the wall, however, it doesn’t look the same. You wish you could redo it. Many of us feel that way about life, as one author describes it: ‘I’ve made so many mistakes. I wish I could just wipe them out and start over.’ Failures, problems, bad decisions – we have all suffered from them. But some people can’t let go of the past, and, as a result, they let their past limit their present opportunities. They live in a constant state of regret, continually lamenting, ‘If only I hadn’t done that’ or ‘If only I had made these changes.’ They repeatedly second-guess themselves. And they are tormented by painful memories. ‘I blew it, and I’m going to be paying for it for the rest of my life.’ You may choose to carry guilt, but you don’t have to! The moment you put your trust in Christ, He ‘cancels the record’ of your past. Actually, you no longer have a past; you only have a future! You can lay down, once and for all, your heavy load of guilt, old hurts, and memories of mistakes. Jesus ‘took it away by nailing it to the cross’. God has promised to ‘... blot out your sins … and will never think of them again.’ (Isaiah 43:25 NLT). You must too!
Christianity Etc › Don't Compete, And Don't Compare by Btruth(op): 5:19am On Nov 03, 2023
Don’t compete, and don’t compare

Fri, 3 Nov 2023

‘He alone decides which gift each person should have.’ 1 Corinthians 12:11

In Scripture, the church is never described as a democracy. Certainly, every person deserves equal treatment in terms of kindness, love, and respect; but as our God-given assignments differ, so do our gifts. ‘It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have’ (1 Corinthians 12:11 NLT). Pay close attention to the words ‘He alone decides.’ Parents want to see all their children succeed in life. But they also need to recognise that just as children’s individual talents differ, so do their unique destinies. That’s why it’s a mistake to compete with or compare yourself to somebody else. The Bible says, ‘… God also testified by signs and wonders, various miracles, and distributions of gifts from the Holy Spirit according to his will.’ (Hebrews 2:4 CSB). Don’t question and second-guess God; He knows what He is doing and never makes mistakes. Even among His twelve disciples, Jesus had an inner circle. He took Peter, James, and John up the Mount of Transfiguration and sent the others into town to work. He didn’t feel obligated to take everybody up the mountain so nobody would feel offended. Does that mean He loves one person more than another? No, the experience Peter, James, and John had on the mountaintop that day was part of their training for the assignment Jesus was calling them to. There is a lesson here. You have to move beyond other people’s opinions. God made you for a special purpose; He has a job for you that nobody else can do as well as you. When you know that something is right for you, do it and trust God to vindicate you in the eyes of others.

Christianity Etc › Make Your Words Count by Btruth(op): 4:37am On Nov 02, 2023
Make Your Words Count

Thu, 2 Nov 2023

‘The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; the wellspring of wisdom is a flowing brook.’ Proverbs 18:4

When Solomon speaks of deep waters, he’s referring to the water at the bottom of the well that’s the cleanest and coolest. If you want to know what kind of water a well has, go down to the bottom. And if you want to know what’s in a person’s heart, listen to his or her words.

An old country farmer put it this way: ‘What’s down in the well always comes up in the bucket!’ One of the surest signs of wisdom and maturity is the ability to say the right thing, in the right way, at the right time, to the right person—or to say nothing at all. Indeed, as you become wiser, you’ll talk less and say more. In Australia, when someone is arrested, the police are required to read an official caution before questioning them, informing them of their right to remain silent: ‘You do not have to say anything … Anything you do say may be given in evidence.’ So, unless your words are intended to build someone up rather than tear them down, silence is a ‘right’ you should exercise every day. Sometimes the wisest option is not to give voice to your thoughts.

It’s said, ‘A wise man is someone who thinks twice before saying nothing.’ Again, Solomon weighs in: ‘The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered. Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent ...’ (Proverbs 17:27–28 NIV)

So, it’s better to keep your mouth shut when the Holy Spirit prompts you to do so. Silence can be misunderstood, but it can never be misquoted.

Christianity Etc › Don't Be A Mudslinger by Btruth(op): 2:13am On Nov 01, 2023
Don’t be a mudslinger

Wed, 1 Nov 2023

‘The slingers surrounded and attacked it.’ 2 Kings 3:25

In Old Testament times, ‘slingers’ were people who defeated others by slinging stones and blocking their wells by throwing mud and rocks into them – wells of water that were essential to their survival. Today, mudslingers are people who make malicious attacks against others. Now, chances are that you may have encountered some ‘mudslingers’ yourself, and even suffered at their hands. What should you do? Avoid them because they’re dangerous. You can’t mud wrestle without getting dirty. Not only will your opponent win – he will enjoy the fight! And if you yourself have become a slinger, here is a portion of Scripture you would do well to read and keep in mind: ‘"If you take away the yoke from your midst, The pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, If you extend your soul to the hungry And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light shall dawn in the darkness, And your darkness shall be as the noonday. The LORD will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.”’ Isaiah 58:9-11 NKJV. Now there is a benefit package worth working for! So, guard your thoughts because they become your words. Guard your words because they become your actions. Guard your actions because they become your character. And guard your character because it determines the level of God’s blessing in your life. So, here is the word for today: don’t be a mudslinger.

Happy New Month. May this month bring us good tidings in Jesus name 🙏.

Christianity Etc › Your Loved One Is With The Lord by Btruth(op): 5:38am On Oct 31, 2023
Your loved one is with the Lord

Tue, 31 Oct 2023

‘To be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.’ 2 Corinthians 5:8

Try as we might to avoid it, and as reluctant as we are to discuss it, each of us must release the hand of the one we love into the hand of the One who loves us most. But what happens when you die? What happens to Christians between their death and Christ’s return? Paul answers, ‘But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.’ (1 Thessalonians 4:13 ESV). Scripture is surprisingly quiet about what happens to Christians in the period between their death and the resurrection of their body. (It doesn’t give us enough information to satisfy our curiosity, just enough to whet our appetite.) Paul writes: ‘For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labour for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far’ (Philippians 1:21-23 NIV). Bible scholar Anthony Hoekema says, ‘What Paul is saying here is that the moment he departs or dies, that very same moment he will be with Christ.’ Ultimately, heaven is the greatest healing of all! Your saved loved ones had pain here but have no pain there. They struggled here but have no struggles there. You may wonder why God took them home, but they don’t. Now they understand. They are, at this very moment, at peace in God’s presence.

Christianity Etc › When God Gives You A Vision (2) by Btruth(op): 4:31am On Oct 30, 2023
When God gives you a vision (2)

Mon, 30 Oct 2023

‘I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision.’ Acts 26:19

When God gives you a vision:

1) It will interrupt you. Sometimes God will speak in a voice you can’t tune out. Other times, like Jonah, God will let you go to the bottom to get your attention. Either way, things won’t go right until you say yes to Him.

2) It will illuminate you. You may not like what God says. Ananias didn’t like going to pray for Saul of Tarsus, a man with the power to put Christians to death. But God said, ‘Go, for he is a chosen vessel … I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake’ (Acts 9:15-16 NKJV). Notice the word ‘suffer’. The devil isn’t going to send you a congratulatory letter because you have decided to do God’s will, so be prepared for an attack.

3) It will inspire you. You will accomplish things you never dreamed possible. Look at Gideon. When God found him he was hiding in a winepress (see Judges 6:11); not exactly a promising start. When the angel called him ‘… a mighty man of valour’ (Judges 6:12 NKJV), he replied, ‘… I am the least in my father’s house’ (Judges 6:15 NKJV). When the angel said, ‘The LORD is with you, …’ he replied, ‘If the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us?’ (Judges 6:12-13 NKJV). When he finally took the job, he wondered, ‘How can so few of us defeat so many of them?’ Yet at that very moment his enemies were having nightmares about him (see Judges 7:13-15). The secret of victory lies in knowing: ‘It is God working in me’ (see Philippians 2:13).

When God gives you a vision (1)

Sun, 29 Oct 2023

‘I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision.’ Acts 26:19

Paul had a ‘heavenly vision’. But there are those who ‘… speak a vision of their own heart, not from the mouth of the LORD’ (Jeremiah 23:16 NKJV). So you must be sure you are operating according to God’s plan, not your own, or somebody else’s. The story of the Tower of Babel teaches us two things:

1) When people make up their mind to do something, they often succeed.

2) Succeeding doesn’t mean that you’re in the will of God. The word babel (confusion) means others can think you’re right, yet you’re wrong.

You ask, ‘But isn’t it okay to make plans and set goals?’ Yes, but your plans and goals should come out of a vision that God has given you. When Paul said, ‘I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision,’ (Acts 26:19 KJV) he meant that there’s only one acceptable response to God’s plan – obedience! Partial obedience, selective obedience, or delayed obedience are still disobedience. William Carey, who is considered the father of modern missions, gave up comfort and fortune to go to India and introduce the gospel. One of his more memorable quotes is: ‘Attempt great things for God, expect great things from God!’ But you can only say that with confidence when you know what God has called you to do. What He ordains, He sustains! When you set your own goals you lack a heart-deep confidence that God is doing the work, so you wear yourself out thinking it’s all up to you. However, when you know God has given you a vision for your life, you trust Him, even when you can’t see any way to bring it to pass.
Christianity Etc › 'I Am Disciplined And Self-controlled' by Btruth(op): 6:17am On Oct 28, 2023
‘I am disciplined and self-controlled’

Sat, 28 Oct 2023

‘For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. ’ 2 Timothy 1:7

In order to be happy in life, you must start doing the right things and stop doing the wrong things. And one of the first things you must do is stop saying, ‘I just don’t have any self-control.’ Self-control is a choice, and the more you choose it, the stronger it becomes. And here is the best part: the power of self-control comes from God, not you. The Spirit gives us power, love, and discipline. It happens automatically as you spend time with God in prayer and His Word. ‘Listen carefully to my words. Don’t lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body. Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life’ (Proverbs 4:20-23 NLT). God will give you the power to do this, but you must exercise that power each day. There is no quick-fix form of self-control. Remember how many times in school you repeated your times tables before they became part of your thinking? Now you just do it automatically. Similarly, when you become educated to think as God wants you to think, you will be able to defeat the devil and walk in victory. And the first step is to stop saying, ‘I just don’t have any self-control.’ You will never rise above what you say! As long as you believe you’re not a disciplined person, you won’t be. So today, come into agreement with God’s Word and start saying, ‘I am disciplined and self-controlled.’

Christianity Etc › Jesus Is Coming Back Again! by Btruth(op): 4:47am On Oct 27, 2023
Jesus is coming back again!

Fri, 27 Oct 2023

‘Come, Lord Jesus!’ Revelation 22:20

The last promise and prayer in the Bible is, ‘He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!’ (Rev 22:20 NKJV) Revelation 22:20 And the last major prophecy concerning Christ’s return was fulfilled in 1948 when the nation of Israel was reborn (see Amos 9:14). Since then, the clock of Bible prophecy has been ticking and the countdown is on. Cynics and critics sometimes say, ‘Christians have been telling us for hundreds of years that Jesus will return, but it hasn’t happened.’ That is additional proof of Christ’s return. ‘In the last days scoffers … will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same” … But you must not forget … A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise … No, he is being patient … He does not want anyone to be destroyed but wants everyone to repent. But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment. Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live, looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along … But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness’ (2 Peter 3:3-4, 8-13 NLT). Jesus is coming back again – be sure you’re ready.
Christianity Etc › Sometimes Forgiving Requires Focus And Energy by Btruth(op): 6:14am On Oct 26, 2023
Sometimes forgiving requires focus and energy

Thu, 26 Oct 2023

‘I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.’ Philippians 3:13

Forgiving someone who has hurt you deeply is one of the most difficult things you will ever be asked to do. You know you must forgive, for nursing a grudge is like nursing a baby; anything you feed and nurture will continue to grow. But that doesn’t make forgiving easy. Try to understand this: forgiveness is a decision, not an emotion. If you wait until you feel like forgiving, you risk remaining trapped in the torture of resentment. When Peter asked Jesus how often he should forgive someone who had offended him, Jesus replied, ‘Seventy times seven’ (Matthew 18:22 KJV). In other words, forgive, and keep on forgiving until you get beyond it. But note four things:

1) Forgiveness doesn’t mean you must resume a relationship with the offender, especially if they are unrepentant and refuse to change their behaviour.

2) It doesn’t mean condoning what they did or agreeing with them.

3) It doesn’t let them off the hook; it lets you off the hook and enables you to get on with your life.

4) It doesn’t mean you won’t be able to remember it, but that you will have the power to think about it differently; graciously rather than resentfully.

And one more thought: don’t let Satan convince you that you haven’t forgiven just because you still remember. The ability to forgive is a learned behaviour. The more you practise it, the better you get at it. It happens when you look for ways to extend understanding to your offender and find something to be compassionate about.
Christianity Etc › You Can Overcome Your Fears by Btruth(op): 4:59am On Oct 25, 2023
You can overcome your fears

Wed, 25 Oct 2023

‘Do not fear, for I am with you; ...’ Isaiah 41:10

The first lady to win a Nobel Prize was French physicist Madame Marie Curie. She said, ‘Nothing in life is to be feared, only understood.’ So:

1) Get the facts about what you fear to take away the mystery and misinformation from it.

2) Instead of focusing on your phobia, focus on God’s promises: ‘Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand’ (Isaiah 41:10 CSB). Note the words ‘I will strengthen you’. As your faith in God grows stronger, the threat of your fears will grow weaker.

3) Relax. Imagine yourself peaceful and free of the bondage of fear. Envision the positive effect on your life when you are delivered.

4) Confront each one of your fear-triggering circumstances with baby steps. Every single hurdle you conquer strengthens you. So, commit yourself to overcoming the fears that have wreaked havoc on your peace of mind. Jesus said, ‘My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid’ (John 14:27 NKJV). Note the words ‘let not’. Don’t let fear rule you! Become proactive and arm yourself with the promises of God. Run towards your fears as David ran towards Goliath, knowing that in the name of the Lord you will win.

An amazing promise

Tue, 24 Oct 2023

‘Call to Me, and I will … show you … things, which you do not know.'’ Jeremiah 33:3

The God of the universe said: ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know’ (Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV). What do you think your chances are of getting through on the phone to a president or prime minister? Zero! Yet regardless of your education, sophistication, ethnic background, or financial status, you can talk to God and He will talk back to you. And He doesn’t just promise to answer your prayers but to ‘show you great and mighty things, which you do not know’. Sometimes we say, ‘It’s the not knowing that scares me.’ Companies close and workers get laid off. Routine medical check-ups reveal life-threatening challenges. Terrorists threaten our safety, and politicians betray our trust. The little boy prayed, ‘Lord, bless Mummy, Daddy, baby, and me. And, Lord, take care of Yourself, because if anything happens to You, we’re all sunk!’ You say, ‘But I’m not sure God has ever spoken to me.’ If you’re a Christian, He has spoken to you at least once. And if He will speak to you once, He will speak to you twice. But you have to talk to Him and let Him talk to you through His Word and His indwelling Spirit. Sometimes God waits before He answers you because He is working on both ends of the line. He is working on the thing you prayed about, and He is working to get you ready for it. And sometimes the second thing takes longer than the first. ‘O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer!’

Christianity Etc › Not Self-control But Spirit Control by Btruth(op): 3:14am On Oct 23, 2023
Not self-control but Spirit control

Mon, 23 Oct 2023

‘If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.’ Galatians 5:25

Do you have an out-of-control appetite when it comes to money, food, nicotine, alcohol, drugs, sex, or … (you fill in the blank). Have your repeated efforts to gain control left you with a sense of shame, failure, and hopelessness? Have all your attempts at self-control failed? Try Spirit control! ‘Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. ... But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. … And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.’ (Galatians 5:16-17, 22-25 NKJV). The secret of walking in victory is in realising these two things:

1) Self-control is not something you do for God, it’s something God does for you.

2) Self-control is not a one-time work but a daily walk.

Each time you say no to self and yes to God, His Spirit comes to your aid and empowers you. By choosing to obey God instead of your impulses, you activate the power that brings victory.

Christianity Etc › God Has A Good Plan For You by Btruth(op): 5:22am On Oct 22, 2023
God has a good plan for you

Sun, 22 Oct 2023

‘I know the plans I have for you ....’ Jeremiah 29:11

Read this Scripture: ‘“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen … I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes”’ (Jeremiah 29:11-12, 14 NLT). The Israelites went through a long period of suffering because of their sins – seventy years of captivity. But God said, ‘I still have a plan for you.’ Have you sinned and gone through a season of correction and now you’re wondering if God has turned His back on you? God may correct you, but He will never reject you! Two chapters later, God says to the same group of people, ‘I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. I will rebuild you …’ (Jeremiah 31:3-4 NLT). Note the word ‘rebuild’. Your life may have fallen apart, but God can rebuild it. The Bible’s theme is restoration. King David committed adultery and murder, but when he repented, God fully restored him. And the Bible says, ‘After David had done the will of God in his own generation, he died and was buried with his ancestors …’ (Acts 13:36 NLT). How would you like to have those words on your gravestone? You can! The Prodigal Son’s older brother was angry with their father because he forgave and restored his younger brother. But his father restored him anyway. You cannot undo the fact of your past sins, but God can heal you from the effects of them. Just come to Him today; take that first step!

Christianity Etc › Don't Just Pray, Believe! by Btruth(op): 6:20am On Oct 21, 2023
Don’t just pray, believe!

Saturday 21st October 2023

‘You can pray for anything, and if you believe … it will be yours.’ Mark 11:24 NLT

The Bible says, ‘Without faith it is impossible to please God …’ (Hebrews 11:6 NIV). God’s greatest desire is to be believed. You can pray regularly and ritually, and even feel closer to God as a result, yet not expect Him to answer your prayers or for your situation to change. Peter had been put in prison and sentenced to death, and his execution was scheduled for the next day. So, the church prayed all night for his release. And it happened miraculously. God put the guards to sleep, opened Peter’s prison door, and set him free. Yet when he appeared on the doorstep of the house where the believers were praying, they couldn’t believe it: ‘A servant girl … told everyone, “Peter is standing at the door!” “You’re out of your mind!” they said. When she insisted, they decided, “It must be his angel”’ (Acts 12:13-15 NLT). Even the early disciples struggled to believe God would hear them. Even when the answer knocked on their door, they still hesitated. And we do too, don’t we? We struggle with prayer. We forget to pray, and when we remember, we rush through prayers with insincere words. Our thoughts disperse like a covey of quail. Why does this happen? You can pray anywhere, at any time, using your own words, and God promises to answer. So, what’s the problem? We need to realise the incredible power and potential of one praying believer: ‘For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.’ (2 Corinthians 10:4 ESV). So don’t just pray; believe God for the answer. Then talk and act like you believe!

Your prayers can change the situation

Fri, 20 Oct 2023

‘Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self …’ Exodus 32:13

If you’re not sure your prayers can change the situation you’re in right now, read the story of Moses interceding with God not to destroy the Israelites because of the golden calf and committing idolatry: ‘But Moses sought the favor of the LORD his God … Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel—you swore to them by yourself and declared, 'I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and will give your offspring all this land that I have promised, and they will inherit it forever.'" So the LORD relented concerning the disaster He had said He will bring on his people’ (Exodus 32:11, 13-14 CSB). Moses was on his face one minute and in God’s face the next. For the lives of his people, he was on his knees, pointing his finger, raising his hands, crying tears, tearing his cloak, and wrestling like Jacob at the brook. Notice how he prayed. He reminded God of His covenant promises. He stood on the Word! And if there is one thing that will get God’s attention and cause Him to respond to your needs, it’s standing on His Word. God’s word in the matter is always God’s will in the matter. ‘We are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for’ (1 John 5:14-15 NLT). You are similar to electric wire through which God’s power and presence can flow into any situation, and in prayer you flip the switch. So instead of complaining about the situation, begin to pray about it.

Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa🔥🔥🔥
His mother died while on crusade. He was in America when they sent a message that his mother is dead. He said "my mother can't die," because God did not tell me. The last time I checked in my spirit my mother was well. If God must take her, HE has to tell me. Put her on my bed when I return, I'll wake her.

They asked him, when are you coming back? he said, "10 days time". They told him, "she will smell". He insisted they should put her on his bed. "If she smells, its my room, put her there".

The first miracle for 10 days, the body did not smell. The color of the skin changed from black to ash, totally dead for 10 days. The Arch Bishop said, he's not coming back until he finishes his crusade. When he finished his crusade, he landed in Benin airport and he said, "take me home".

They took him home, when he entered his room, he said, "Mama I am back, stand up and give me water to drink". Mama said, "my son, welcome".

Today by the strength of this testimony, anything dead in your life is coming back to life in Jesus Name. AMEN!

Christianity Etc › Don't Give In To Resentment; Forgive Them by Btruth(op): 4:08am On Oct 19, 2023
Don’t give in to resentment; forgive them

Thu, 19 Oct 2023

‘Resentment kills a fool.’ Job 5:2

For reasons known only to God and Satan, Job lost his money, his children, and his health. If ever a man had cause to be resentful, it was him. But Eliphaz advised him, ‘Resentment kills a fool.’ In other words, ‘The only thing that can hurt me more than what has already happened is allowing resentment to rule my mind and dictate my actions.’ You say, ‘But I want justice!’ How much justice? Imagine your enemy for a moment. Picture him strapped to a whipping post. The strong-armed man with a whip turns to you and asks, ‘How many lashes?’ And you give a number. The whip cracks, the blood flows, and the punishment is inflicted. Your foe slumps to the ground, and you walk away. Are you happy now? Do you feel better? Are you at peace? For a little while, but soon another memory will surface, and another lash will be needed. When does it all stop? It stops when you take seriously the words of Jesus: ‘If you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins’ (Matthew 6:14-15 NIV). When you pray, ‘Treat me as I treat my neighbour’ (see Matthew 6:12), are you aware of what you’re really saying to God? ‘Give me what I give them. Grant me the same peace I grant them. Let me enjoy the same tolerance I offer them.’ If you want peace, make peace. If you want God’s generosity, be generous to others. If you want the assurance of God’s forgiveness, extend forgiveness to others.

Spirit-filled living

‘Do not be drunk with wine…but be filled with the Spirit.’ Ephesians 5:18

The Christian life isn’t only a changed life but an exchanged life. At the moment of conversion, we give our old life to God and He gives us a new life in its place. But He does more; He comes to live within us by the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul made the contrast between being drunk with wine and being filled with the Spirit. One causes you to be out of control, while the other enables you to be in control. One is counterproductive, while the other is productive. One makes you powerless, while the other empowers you. One brings you sorrow, while the other brings you joy. This Scripture is not a promise or even an option, it’s a command: ‘Be filled with the Spirit.’ And Paul gives us three pieces of evidence of a Spirit-filled life:

1) ‘Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord’ (Ephesians 5:19 NKJV). This song isn’t induced by circumstances but despite them. ‘But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.’ (Acts 16:25-26 NKJV). Praising God can open doors and break chains.

2) ‘Giving thanks always for all things to God …’ (Ephesians 5:20 NKJV). Spirit-filled people have troubles like everyone else. But they don’t focus on their troubles; they count their blessings and stay positive, upbeat, and grateful.

3) ‘Submitting to one another in the fear of God’ (Ephesians 5:21 NKJV). Spirit-filled people are ‘others focused’. They know that what you make happen for someone else, God will make happen for you (see Ephesians 6:cool.
