TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“…let us strip off every weight that slows us down…”
(Hebrews 12:1, NLT)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
What’s happened in your past is not nearly as important as what is in your future. Where you’re going is much more significant than where you’ve been. But if you stay focused on the past, you’ll get stuck where you are. This is the reason a lot of people don’t have joy or enthusiasm for life. They’re dragging around all of this negative baggage from the past.
Somebody offended them last week, and they’ve got that stuffed in their resentment bag. Last month, they lost their temper and said some things they shouldn’t have. They’ve got that in their guilt and condemnation bag. Ten years ago, they lost a loved one. They still don’t understand it. They’ve got that hurt and pain in their disappointment bag. They carry around their bag of regrets, all the things they wished they would have done differently.
Life is too short to live that way. Learn to travel light. Every morning when you first get up, forgive the people that did you wrong the day before. Forgive your spouse for what they said. At the start of the day, let go of the disappointments, the setbacks from yesterday. Start every morning fresh and new. God did not create you to carry around all that baggage. Let it go and move forward in the life of blessing He has in store for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, today I choose to travel light. I choose to shake off the past, shake off disappointment and forgive those who have hurt me. Heal my heart as I release everything that would try to hold me back in Jesus’ name! Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
This message is to Sata. The heaviest baggage he has is:
1. Kabimba
2. why not Sosala?
3. cheating the Lozi people over Barotseland agreement
4. Accept all his children, even if some are thugs like Kazimu.
… his load will be lighter when entering heaven.
What about me, not much, except that
1. I don’t like Kabimba.
2. Sometimes I wish some women where my mine, e.g Charlotte, what a wonderful woman. But I don’t think its a sin.
@1, nostra-anus. mind what you say.
I thank God for the early morning blessings . my past is over uhule,beer drinking paka 05hrs is now my past. Ukuluku over over.
@Nostradamus: playing with the word of God? anyhow, we will not let you be the baggage of the day. You are forgiven. Enjoy the rest of your day and in all other endeavors. In Jesus Name: Amen.
Word of god says who? Who told you it was the word of god? Wake up and research instead of blindly worshiping things that you barely understand.
Wake up from your stupidity! !
jay jay
i see you are clueless,you dont even know the difference between god and God, we believe in God not your god, he came to save the lost like you.Repent my brother.
Repent to whom? The slavemaster’s religion tells you that you can do anything you want to do..I mean anything under the sun to a people and when you repent all will be okay…really laughable….don’t you know that Adolf Hitler was a devote christian who believed in the teachings of the bible.
Repent? Wake up that’s what you need.
Afrikans wake up, and cease to worship these lies from this European book called bible. …how is it that these selfsame preachers like Joel Osteen can afford to be purchasing mansions worth $10 million. Take some time off and study about self and your ancestry. .. it is far greater than these shameful and deceitful lies in the bible.
Wake up from your docility! !
Wake up! !
Amen and Amen.Praise be to the one above.
Glory b 2 God 4 dat wonderful Word Joel!
Let your will be done Lord
Munkombwe is a Tonga elder and says;
“I am shocked by the traits some politicians in the opposition had adopted, which were not part of the Zambian culture. It is un-African and NOT normal to us Zambians and particularly, TONGA people”…
So what are the Watchdogs saying this time round? Where is this HATE coming from? Are the mangers in this on-line-media Zambians? I think not…
Yes, thankyou for the words of encouraging…….Amen
Why do you Zombies dedicate the selfsame amount time you dedicate to dressing up, prepping for and praying in Church to building communities and teaching our children about Afrikan awareness?
Go and research the history of Christianity and where you fit in as black people….wake up!!
Awe kwena chachine. These white people came here and told us to stop worshipping our ancestors. Then they replaced them with THEIR ancestors and Africans thought it was okay. Africans started worshipping Mohammed, Jesus, Abraham, David, all people they never knew. In the meantime the European was busy stealing all the wealth of Africa after having put the African to bed with stories of Israel. Oyiye mwana walila!
Kwati bufi shuwa. The impressionable Africans. Everything ni Yes Bwana
