THE DANGER CALLED OFFENCE
TEXT : ISAIAH 53:11-12
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Beloved, if you are going to be in human relationships, you will learn to bear the iniquities of others.
Jesus bore our iniquities.
He refused to complain about our various offences.
The reason that marriage is breaking down is because you have not learned how to bear the iniquities of your partner.
You are using unscriptural methods to solve your marital problems.
Why it's failing is because human relationships are more spiritual than physical.
In verse twelve, Jesus interceded for the very ones who crucified Him.
He refused to become their accuser, an accuser of brethren.
On the cross, Jesus forgave all that offended Him.
He knew that He was still on a long journey that would demand that He traveled light.
He was going to confront Satan himself in hell.
Offences are very heavy load in the realm of the spirit.
It is suicidal to embark on a spiritual journey with a bag full of offenses.
Offences would perforate your shield 🛡️ of faith, it would make you totally vulnerable to defeat.
I pray for you that you would begin to dish out forgiveness generously in Jesus mighty name.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
