GUIDE AGAINST ROOT OF BITTERNESS 3

GUARD AGAINST ROOT OF BITTERNESS 3 MEMORY VERSE: - Hebrews 12:15 - "Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled." The enemy cannot come in unless he finds an opening and bitterness is one major opening point for him. You open the door for root of bitternessl through many ways one of which is unforgiveness. Jesus told us, “Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses” (Mark 11:25-26) Unforgiveness stands as a barrier to one's prayers. You can pray innumerable prayers, fast many days, the truth still remains that God will not hear your prayers when you have unforgiveness in your life. Forgiveness is a condition for our prayers to be answered.  Those who are given to unforgiveness often think that

GUARD AGAINST ROOT OF BITTERNESS 2 MEMORY VERSE: - Hebrews 12:15 - "Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled." Our text says root of bitterness brings about defilement and we know that whoever that is defiled cannot stand before the presence of Jahovah God. You can see how dangerous it is to allow it to lay hold on you, it will dent your relationship with God and cause a separation from him.  Certainly, for us to lead a true Christian life, we must put a watch over our hearts against root of bitterness. This is why the scripture in Proverbs 4:23 says we should guard our hearts, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." To guard here is to watch, to keep in check, to be vigilant, to be alert, and to be careful. Wherefore, because of the importance of our heart's role in our life, we must with all carefulness keep a watch over it. We

GUIDE AGAINST ROOT OF BITTERNESS MEMORY VERSE: - Hebrews 12:15 - "Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled." Root of bitterness is that avenue through which the enemy uses to gets into one's life.... Get to enter family and cause havock.... It's that opening through which they use to creep into one's finances, marriages, businesses etc and begin to destroy and if care is not taken, will wipe them out.   “Bitterness” is usually associated with anger and grudges. Therefore, once there's a root of bitterness in you, it begins to bear fruits of bitterness. Fruits such as hatred and grudges will lay hold of your heart, unforgiveness will rise up in you and you will become unsatisfied no matter what is done to please you and will have ingratitude.  Moreover, you will begin to find fault in everything, read meaning into everything that people say or do. Hence, you wi

BREAKING FORTH ON ALL SIDES 3 MEMORY VERSE: -  Isaiah 54:3 - "For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited." In part 2 of this series we saw that we are to strategies ourselves by expanding our space. Now, why is it important that we expand our space? Verse 3 of that Isaiah 54 tells us the reason for it.... "For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left" KJV . So, our preparation is because something huge is coming. And it is not just one sided breaking forth but all round.... In all aspects of our lives.  Beloved, you are entering a season of all round breakthrough.... A time where you look around you and all you see is breakthroughs everywhere. I found this verse 3 very interesting in Good News Translation.... It says, "You will extend your boundaries on all sides..." Can you see that? This is so exciting and encouraging. It's comin

BREAKING FORTH ON ALL SIDES 2 MEMORY VERSE: - Isaiah 54:3 - "For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited." Another thing we need to do in order to strategies ourselves for breakthrough is found in verse 2 of Isaiah 54 , and it reads, "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes" To enlarge here is talking about 'creating more space' 'expand your space' 'make it bigger' take out stuffs that are not needed and are occupying space, make room because Something huge is coming and you have to position yourself to receive it....  We must understand that God is not a man that is limited to what he can do and cannot do. There's nothing God can't do. So, what Jahovah God is doing in your life in this new season of REST is beyond human

BREAKING FORTH ON ALL SIDES 1 MEMORY VERSE: - Isaiah 54:3 - "For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited." God has prepared awesome things, beautiful things, great things for you and I this year and it's important we break forth into it and possess our possessions.  I do not know how it was with you in the previous years, maybe things were difficult before now, but what I do know is that God's grace is going to help you break forth on every side this year. Wherefore, in readiness for the breaking forth the Lord tells us in verse one of Isaiah 54 to strategies ourselves. It says, "Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing". This is something unusual. How can one sing when all is not well? Doesn't God know that the situation is a real issue and requires hard and very strong prayers? O' child of God, your heavenly Father kn
