Trusting God enough to forgive people - 3

 Dear Single Mum

It's important to remember that we will all be held accountable for our actions when we face God. There is no escaping this bit.

The Scriptures teach us that even our careless words will be judged. While some may view (mere careless words)  this as a far cry from the intentional harm and loss of life that others have caused, the standard set by God is unchanging. 

Careless Words , Murder all will be Judged equally and the Standard is as laid out in the Scriptures.

When someone hurts us and appears unrepentant in the face of that injustice, we may turn to comforting thoughts such as "God is merciful towards them " , "He isn't willing that all should perish but Live " etc.

 However, I would like to bring your attention to the idea of Divine Retribution.

There is Divine Retribution and this should make you understand that wasting time and energy holding on to the hurt and discomfort that may have come to you as a result of past actions by another may be unnecessary.

Infact ,the revenge that you may have plotted (which may not even see the light of the day) may be small and insignificant compare to that which God may have already prescribed for them.
 
The same goes for those that you have also wronged.
Scary isn't it ?
Revelations 15 vs 3 describes God as Being Just and true - with Justice being one of His attributes.
May the words of the Psalmist in Psalm 51 be swift on our lips 
May we understand the full implication of what our Actions may cost others.
May we be quick to go on our Knee in Prayer of forgiveness.
May we get to God before the Cries of those we have hurt get to Him first.

The Architect of Resilience: Mastering Environment and Mindset

 Dear Single Mum, Master your environment at all times. Your ability to succeed or fail is often a reflection of two things: your dependence on God and your ability to gain mastery over the environment and people around you. Remain prayerful. Guard your relationship with the Holy Spirit and ensure that you are walking within the will of the Father. However, it is equally important to ensure that your inner psychology—your mindset—is aligned with that purpose. Your mindset dictates the results you achieve. It is the invisible fabric that supports the architectural masterpiece you are building with your life every single day. 1. Focus on the Pain You Must Avoid Pay close attention to the pain you need to avoid in your life. As a single parent, you may already face disadvantages in certain areas of life. Those challenges can either discourage you or fuel your drive for success and achievement. If you do not pay attention to what caused you pain in the past—and how to prevent it ...

The Prophetic and Mental health Impairment

It is a beautiful and exciting thing to hear from God. Every Christian should grow to that place as a foundation. However, we must remain firmly anchored in Scripture and stay open to correction, encouragement, and continuous learning. No one knows it all. The Christian journey is lifelong—there is no graduation point. At every stage, you will find yourself both learning from others and teaching others. It is essential that we continually pray for the grace to remain humble. Over the past few months, I have felt a strong burden to speak about the intersection of mental health and the prophetic. However, because my ministry is primarily focused on single parenting, I found it challenging to separate my materials. Today, something reminded me again, so I felt led to share a few thoughts. I pray it blesses and helps us all. Amen. Mental health challenges and the prophetic can sometimes overlap in ways that are not always easy to distinguish. In the Western world, mental health is closely ...

Kardiognostes - “Heart-Knower of all men,”

  My journey through the Book of John has offered profound insights, especially during my recent Bible study. As I prepared to conclude the year with a reflection on essential relationships for the New Year, I felt compelled to begin with John 2:23-25. This passage highlights a pivotal moment where many believed in Jesus because of the miracles He performed. However, Jesus, with divine insight, did not entrust Himself to them, knowing the true depths of their hearts. The Nature of Miracles This passage raises several key questions: ·        Are miracles primarily intended to create believers? ·        Do they serve to confirm Jesus' identity as the Messiah? ·        Or are they ultimately a demonstration of God's unlimited power ? While miracles undoubtedly attract attention and inspire awe, Jesus discerned that the faith of these individuals was largely superficial, focused so...
