Sometimes, men easily get offended. That is, they get annoyed and refuse to relate to one another. Many of us have some people we don’t greet now on this account. Some people have taken offence at their parents and relations, and they refused to relate to them. The truth is that if you know the harm you are doing to yourself by so doing, you will give up on this.
In the scripture we read today, John the Baptist was not happy because Jesus did not come to rescue him from prison, and he took offence at Christ. He sent messengers to Jesus to ask if He was the Christ or not. This question seemed to come from an offended heart. And at last he was beheaded.
Friend, do you know that when you get offended, it promotes bitterness in your heart, which is not of God. There is nothing wrong with being angry because the Bible says, “be angry and sin not” … Bitterness is sin (Ephesians 4:26). This will paralyse the activities of the Holy Spirit in your life and cripple your ability to be creative. This could also endanger your health. When anyone offends you, see it as a function of ignorance, and it will become easy for you to forgive (Luke 23:34). Please, release people in your heart. If you know someone is an instrument of offence and bitterness around you, it would be better for you to avoid them. You also need to know that bitterness is a product of immaturity. Never be embittered against an anointed servant of God, you may put yourself in danger, how much more in God (Psalms 105:15). Live freely with all men (Hebrews 12:14). God will help you retain your joy forever in Jesus name.
Prayer: Lord, help me to grow above
bitterness.
“BITTERNESS WILL ONLY MAKE THE LIFE OF
HIS VICTIM BITTER”
