OPPRESSION

By Date -


OPPRESSION
To oppress means to treat somebody in a cruel and unfair way, especially by not giving them the same freedom, rights as other people. It is also when someone is made to be able to think only about sad or worrying things. Do you know many of us are guilty of oppression? By the way we sometimes treat our spouses and children, the labourers or workers who work for us, the way we treat our pastor or our members. Etc.
It is unfortunate to say that there are Christian sadists who enjoy oppressing people. God abhors oppression that was why He promised to deal squarely with all oppression. Psalm 103:6 says, “The Lord Execueth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed”. He also warned us against oppression of any kind. Whether a stranger. “Thou shalt neither vex a stranger nor oppress him …” Ex. 22:21; 23:9. Your neighbour-“And if thou sell ought to thy neighbour or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another” Leviticus 25:14. Your hired servant- “Thou shall not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates”. Deuteronomy 24:14. The poor and the afflicted-“rob not the poor, because he is poor; neither oppress the afflicted in the gate”. Proverbs 22:22. A man and his wife- “and houses, and they covet fields, and take them away by violence; and houses, and take them away; so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage”. Micah 2:2. The widow- “and oppress not the widow… and let none of your imagine evil against his brother in your heart” Zech. 7:10. Are you an instrument of oppression in the hand of the devil? Make up your mind to stop today. Make it a choice to be an instrument of justice, peace equal right and harmony.

Divine Opening

By Date -
Divine Opening “ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; ” - - - Isaiah 45:1 Hallelujah! God has graciously brought us to the second month of this year. As the Lord themed this year as our year of Divine Beautification so also is this month themed as our month of Divine Openings. You may be thinking how will come bring to past His promises but remember that God can do anything at any time He wishes to. He can use anyone to bring to pass this Divine Opening. From the passage, He used Cyrus to subdue nations and Jehovah using any person to do His will is not an issue. I pray that in any area of your life that you are experiencing difficult and closed doors, Jehovah will cause the doors to be open unto you. No more will you experience difficulty and shortages. The doors of your supply are open...

Mystery of Addition

By Date -
Acts 2:47 … And the Lord added to the church daily … A careful and holy spirit concentrated reading shows that there is a mystery to addition. Addition is triggered by being in Favour with both God and Human. However, there is an action that triggers the state of being in favour with God and Human. Studying Luke 6:38, Luke 2:52 and other scriptures shows that there can’t be addition without favour and there can’t be favour without giving and oneness. The giving is not solely financial, but in all aspects of life. What you give never comes back to you in same quantity and quality. It is increased!   Oneness is not just with people around, but also with thyself. Yes, you can be one with you. When your mind and heart and body is one then there won’t be rivalry even among the members of the body and, the doing and thinking of someone. If you need addition in anything you do, simply give and be one. Give to God and be one with God! Give to human and be one with human!! Give t...
