OFFENDED
IN CHRIST?
MEMORY
VERSE
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be
offended in me.
Matthew 11:6
READ
Matthew 11:2-6
Matthew 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two
of his disciples,
Matthew 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for
another?
Matthew 11:4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things
which ye do hear and see:
Matthew 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the
gospel preached to them.
Matthew 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
MESSAGE
The Christian race must be run with lots of
patience or else it will be bungled midway. If you are impatient with God's
timing, you will not only get into trouble but may not be able to finish the
race. A good number of backsliders derailed from their heavenly track because
of impatience. In Matthew 11:6 Jesus said:
And
blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
When you know that God has a set time for
everything, you will not try to compel Him to do it at your time and in your
way. You will simply submit to His will and enter your rest; that is when you
can enjoy a smooth ride in your race to Heaven.
A man of God once made some mistakes which landed
him in prison. While there, his wife left him, his house got burnt and he lost
everything. The devil thought he had taken everything from him but there was
something he could not take away from him: his rugged determination to make it
home and he made it. Have you lost virtually everything? Are you thinking of
giving up? Does it appear that everyone else has forsaken you and there is no
one to turn to? Beloved, take heart! God has not given up on you. If God has
not given up on you, the greatest disservice you can do to yourself will be to
give up on the Lover of your soul. He is very close to you. He is right now in
that situation. Don't give up! No matter how bad things are right now, no
matter how hopeless your situation is; it does not matter how many people have
told you to your face that you cannot make it, God will turn around your tide.
Adverse situations are not strange to us at all. It is just a phase. It will
soon expire. The Lord is arising on your behalf. He will gather your pieces
together and give you wholeness. If there are no pieces to gather, He will
create wholeness for you. You are precious in His sight. Just put all your
worries at His feet, worship Him regularly and thank Him in spite of your
situation even if in tears, He will give you victory and you will have a great
testimony.
