Into the Pit: A Story of Retribution

by Rev Dunamis Okunowo | Dec 17, 2024 | Singles and Married

Reading Time: 2 minutes

As the year winds down and the coming year beckons, I bring you a word of assurance that will anchor your soul in God.

Sometimes, we feel we are not married because of some enemies or mischief makers.

Those who are married often conclude that the strange battles they face, and the uniqueness of their experiences are caused by “village people!”

Sometimes, these singles and couples are correct, and sometimes, they are plain wrong!

But let us assume they are right. Okay?

What does the scripture say about enemies of our soul? Mischief makers. People who hate you for just being you and hate your guts. People you never offended but who disdain you for being alive. What does the Bible say about such enemies? Let us take a look.

Psa 7:15 (KJV) He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

Wow! Your enemy who made a pit will end up in their own pit!

I even love the way Message Translation puts it in verses 15 and 16

Psa 7:15 (MSG) See that man shoveling day after day, digging, then concealing, his man-trap down that lonely stretch of road? Go back and look again—you’ll see him in it headfirst, legs waving in the breeze.

The pit digger will end in the very pit he is digging for you!

Why would this happen?

Verse 16 tells us

Psa 7:16 (MSG) That’s what happens: mischief backfires; violence boomerangs.

Mischief will always backfire. Mischief makers will always end up in their handiwork.

Never join perceived enemies in their mischief. Never dig a pit because you think somebody else is doing that against you.

Shovels are not part of your armour!

So what should you be doing?

Vrsre 17 tells you what to do.

Psa 7:17 (MSG) I’m thanking God, who makes things right. I’m singing the fame of heaven-high GOD.

Keep thanking God and you will keep getting the victory!

God will make all things right for you.

Thankful lips will do much more than using shovels!

May God grant you more understanding!

How To Guard Your Thought Pattern

by Sylvester Obinna | Jan 20, 2022 | Children

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Learn to guard your thought pattern. Have you ever watched a relay race before? Four people in a team will have to complete a set amount of distance, each covering a distance before passing the baton to the other person.

This continues till the last person takes the baton and finishes the race. The last person holds all the chances of the team either winning or losing the race.

Now, imagine your THOUGHTS, WORDS, and ACTIONS as members of a relay team. Who do you think will start the race? Who will be in the middle and who will end the race?

Be careful about what you think. Your thoughts run your life. Prov. 4:23 ICB

Your THOUGHTS will definitely start the race because they are what inspires or fires up the rest. Their speed is an advantage to the team. They birth the whole process and come from deep within you.

If you don’t teach them to run within the lines of the racetrack, they will run the race as they like and hamper the chances of the team winning the race.

Tomorrow, I will talk about your words and actions.

Prayer:
Lord, help my thoughts, words and actions start and finish their relay well in my mind, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Action point:
Check your thoughts always, watch your words, don’t jump into acting instinctively. Pray about these three areas.

Declaration:
My thoughts are guided by the word.
