Topic: STOP BLAME GAMES
Verse of the day : Numbers 23 :19.
God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken and will He not make it good and fulfill it?
God doesn’t lie, but we do things not according to God’s purpose. We do things on our own knowledge and not God’s will.
When something goes wrong it is not always the Devil’s fault. He is not that powerful. Many times it is just a matter of poor human decisions and laziness.
The day you are struggling financially, that wasn’t the Devil plotting against you . It was just you who were making a mess and not making good financial decisions. If you are borrowing too much, spending too much and living above your means.Once you get more disciplined, you attracted wealth.
If you were struggling to raise your teenage child, it wasn’t the Devil who was messing up your family. It was you as a parent who didn’t take time to understand how to raise a teenager. You didn’t listen to them when needed. You were talking down on them demanding respect and believing that since we love God they will follow the line.
As a parent, you have 13 to 16 years of your childs life to be trained in the way of God. Sometimes a prenatal training course is good for parents, so that they will learn the strategy on how to raise a teenager, and your relationship with your child can be improved.
When you applied for that job that you wanted so much, you prayed and prayed about it. But the truth is, you didn’t get the job, not because of the Devil as we used to say; but because the job is not for you and
God prepared a better job somewhere else or God wants you to be an enterpreneur running your own business or company.
When your marriage was going through difficulty and we used to say that the Devil has cursed us, we used to think whether we were carrying generational curses since both our parent’s marriages failed. We were wrong. The moment we put effort into bettering our communication and to spend more quality time together, your marriage will be improved.
Many marriages are failing, not because the Devil is this powerful being succeeding but because they failed to take responsibility for their faults; because of laziness, irresponsibility and indecision by the couple.
When you had a car accident. That wasn’t the Devil as we used to say “God forbid.” That was my fault, my recklessness in driving while exhausted, battling on the steering. It was a bad choice, not the Devil.
Many Christians are used to blaming the Devil for everything thereby shifting responsibility from themselves. They don’t work on their mess and much of what they do is say the Devil is at work.
we must not make the Devil famous. We must declare more about God’s goodness and be good stewards of our blessings.
We will not live in fear thinking the Devil is coming for us yet we have God on our side to protect us for those who believe.
We must take responsibility. When we fail to do something, we must take responsibility and do better.
Many times people refuse to take responsibility for their mistake but shift blame and make the devil famous for-nothing.
Prayer: Lord I will declare more about your works and goodness in my life in Jesus name. Amen
