When God has purpose for you to do something significant….
“The favour of God is His anointing upon your life.” Never allow anything (sin, strive, unforgiveness, etc.) drain you of such power. You have all that you need to overcome in Jesus, THE ANOINTED ONE and HIS ANOINTING, who lives in you (Philippians 4:13).
On a personal level, I’ve seen the enemy raise up strive when I’m about to enter a new season. In fact, there was one I decided not to pray about because I knew God will tell me to forgive that man who treated me so badly in a strange land (took and threw away some of my properties, and was also very hostile). I knew the right thing to do but I decided I will not do that. I thought I had the right to be angry at him (smile). But when God got me with His word during my quite time, I went on my kneels to ask for His forgiveness, released the man and started praising God. That same day I applied for a job online, got called that day by the person who later became my boss when I was working in China. Since then, I’ve always been careful with people who try to bring me into strive. I’M DEAD TO SELF. Before leaving China, I experienced another one and I had to let go of a huge sum of money that was meant for processing a visa. I wasn’t foolish, I just knew it’s wasn’t a worthy fight and something bigger was coming my way and I wasn’t going to put that at stake. It was crazy because even the money was borrowed. But man had no option. I got caught off guard in a recent one I experienced because sometimes it might look easier to let go when the offender isn’t so close to you. But no matter who the enemy might want to use (with or without their consent because it might even be a family member), please, keep your PEACE.
