A Wounded Spirit

Proverbs 18:14 - ... but a wounded spirit who can bear? Are you still wondering on the strength and power of the spirit? Yesterday, we saw a dimension of the strength the spirit of man possess. Every spirit in man is very powerful but totally in subjection to the spirit of God. You can attest what the spirit in the man that Jesus cast out, did to the bound man! It is better to hurt the flesh than to hurt the spirit. This is the same with the warning given to us in Ephesians on not to provoke and sin against the Holy Spirit. The flesh can be hurt with physical tools but to hurt the spirit is mostly through our words. This is why the Lord warned us severally against using rash and hash words. Please, guide against hurting the spirit of man. You can also hurt your spirit by yourselves, so watch out and be safe!

The Spirit of a Man

Proverbs 18:14 - The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity ... What is the spirit of a man? Man here refers to all humans, male and female even as it was at the beginning. The spirit of a man detects what happens to the man and also controls the behaviour of the man physically. The spirit of a man was originally given by God (Jehovah) through the breath that was breathed into man at creation. The spirit in a man can be polluted and another spirit takes over the man. However, at contact with Jehovah, the polluted spirit is renewed, revived and repositioned to the original. It is very important that man should jealously guide his/her spirit, preventing contact to other spirits. The spirit is the strong hold in every creature especially man. That is why it is the spirit that is attacked. Also, this tells us why the spirit controls the flesh, mind and the physical. The way out of every infirmity in a man is through the spirit of man. Note, the spirit of man and not the spirit in man.

The Best Thing to Hear at the Beginning!

Jeremiah 28:1 … in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah … Words are powerful you will agree with me. Also, you will agree that some words mar while some make, some confuse while some directs, some prevents disaster when obeyed while some leads to disaster. Sweet words pacify anger and also doth go to the hearer – Proverbs 15:1, Proverbs 15:23, Proverbs 18:20 – 21. Never start your journey or your day without hearing a sweet word. That sweet, kind and beautiful word will make a lot of difference in your day and in your life. Now, you might be curious for the source of sweet words! Don’t search too far and too hard, the sweet and sweetest word is the word from God. God’s word is always sweet even if it does not sound sweet.   I pray for you that you should be able to always listen to the word of God before you start a thing. That business you have that isn’t flourishing and that relationship you have that is not working, did you start it base on the word of God? Beloved,
