Becoming Unoffendable

-

Hey, Good Morning, and Good Evening!

Trust all is well with your soul.

Yesterday was a tough day for me, and I was quoting this to my colleague: “Life is tough, but only the ‘tough’ can live and overcome the ‘tough life’ 😊.” We have hope, beloved people, no matter how many failures or difficulties may come our way—we can overcome and become spiritually TOUGH. As they say, "A Tough nut to crack".

Recently, I had noticed that my reactions to a certain situation were one of ANGER, it did not display Christlikeness. However, I was quick to change my THINKING on time and the matter subsided. 

The emotion of ‘anger’ is produced from our negative THOUGHTS primarily that have quietly WIRED itself in our brain. When we entertain prolonged THOUGHTS of anger and bitterness against others or a situation, the pattern gets solidified, which results in our acting out in ANGER without RESISTANCE.  

This is the truth; normally there is no demon sitting inside our head, although negative or evil-generated thoughts from outside can only land in our mind and not in our brain directly. That's why RENEWING our MIND Transforms us in getting rid of this junk.

When anger becomes our way of life, it produces destructive chemical events in the body that can be detrimental to our mental and physical well-being. Our anger not only destroys our health, but our relationships with others as well—it’s collateral damage.

How can we overcome anger? FORGIVENESS is the KEY to set us FREE.
The best way to deal with ANGER is God’s way. In the Lord’s Prayer, He commands us to forgive others as He has forgiven us. Tons of scriptures talk about this issue. Take a Deep Dive into the WORD on this Topic.

Beware of harboring THOUGHTS of hatred, unforgiveness, and bitterness towards people, it can show up when certain situations are TRIGGERED. It is like a DRAGON that is ready to show up, to only DRAG us down. 

A little disclaimer: We don't have to be "doormat" for others to abuse us repeatedly-no. We must certainly maintain a healthy distance from those who take pleasure in hurting us. However, we can still choose to release forgiveness toward them.

My friend, it’s tough to forgive others quickly—not easy at all. But it's easy to FORGIVE when we know that we ourselves have been forgiven by God HIMSELF.
Be IMITATORS of GOD. Forgive others liberally every day, no matter who, what, where and why.  

Until we meet again, PRACTICE FORGIVING, we will only GIFT ourselves with an UNOFFENDABLE LIFE


Hope to see you in the next post!



Shalom!

Discipleship Thoughts - our New Location

-
Hello Disciples, Warriors and Saints! This is my new HIDE-OUT  to document my DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS . I have been receiving some feedback lately to 'enlarge my boundaries'. So, I took this new step to ' SPREAD OUT MY WINGS ', like our father of faith, Abraham and start walking on the 'terrain of the vast promised land'. I also felt this is an opportunity to reach out to a larger audience. Starting today I will only post the links to the DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS in our groups, especially for those of us who are still interested in reading my content.  Please feel free to drop by, stay connected, comment and share your thoughts here. Shalom!

Be anxious for nothing - FCRA or No FCRA

-
Hello Friend, Good Morning! How are you today? Have you been following the news? There is a lot of discussion among NGOs, many of whom seem anxious about what may be coming their way. Recently, I came across several news reports about the FCRA amendment bill, which has raised concern among many Christian NGOs. Some view it as a harsh or restrictive measure and feel targeted. At the same time, there could be valid reasons for the government to introduce such legislation. Can we deny that a small percentage of NGOs have failed to maintain financial integrity in running their institutions? In such cases, the violators should be held accountable and their licenses revoked. As the Bible says, “a little leaven leavens the whole lump.” Some unscrupulous NGOs have brought disgrace to the name of Christ. As Christians, we are called to a higher standard of living, and in this context, running our institutions above reproach is non-negotiable. However, with regard to propagating one’s faith, the...

Do our gatherings truly HELP us?

Do our gatherings truly HELP us grow?   I have noticed  that more and more gatherings  these days, looks more like a  “ Sunday entertainment" center, it  is HARMING than  HELPING God's people from  becoming  ROCK SOLID DISCIPLES . Our meetings should not be just a place for a lot of TALK, Emotional SINGING and Fun , however it should be a place where we are STRENGTHENED, EMPOWERED AS DISCIPLES  and SENT OUT  to be effective witnesses. When a gathering does not have DISCIPLESHIP as its CORE MISSION , then it has already moved away from the Biblical BLUE-PRINT of the Ekklesia .  If you find yourself in such a place, WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? The next best thing I can think of is to earnestly pray and look out for a fellowship which has Discipleship as one of its CORE pillars . That's it for now. Hopefully we will meet again in the next post. Until then, let us continue the journey of renewing our minds .   Shalom!
