Today’s Message: When Things Are Out of Control

Share

Today’s Scripture

“Good sense makes a man restrain his anger, and it is his glory to overlook a transgression or an offense.”
(Proverbs 19:11, AMPC)

When Things Are Out of Control

Every day, we have opportunities to get upset, frustrated or offended. Maybe you had plans that didn’t work out, or someone was rude to you at the office. Maybe you were doing something that should have taken one hour and ended up taking three. Life is full of inconveniences, but even though we can’t always control our circumstances, we can control our reaction. I heard somebody say, “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond.”

We should always go out each day with a positive attitude, full of hope and expecting God’s favor. But at the same time, we should recognize that most days are not going to go exactly as we plan. Remember, we were created to live in peace. Peace is our position of power. If you get stressed because you got off schedule, or upset because your child wouldn’t eat his breakfast, or frustrated because somebody offended you, what you’re doing is giving away your power. Instead, make the decision to release those offenses and disappointments so you can live in peace and enjoy the day as the blessing God prepared for you!

A Prayer for Today

“Father, today I release every care, concern, offense and disappointment to You. I choose to keep the peace that You have given me. I look forward to today knowing that You are with me, leading me into victory in Jesus’ name! Amen.”

    • Come and see your senseless people. Blinded by religion!!

      In Congo’s economic capital, Pointe Noire, a church known as Louzolo Amour which preaches that drinking beer can “cast demons” continues to expand.

      The church was founded by Guy Emile Loufoua Cetikouabo, who proclaimed himself God, and claims to be invisible by his followers. He is represented on earth by the current leader of the church called Charles Mikoungui Loundou.

    • Only if you can advise our leaders to avoid acting with emotions. Zambians needs love and tolerance for one another.

  1. When you push this evil stupidity on the innocents just to get rich; doesn’t that affect your morality?
    Have you no shame?
    Which death-cult are you shilling for?

  2. No where in the bible did it criticise slavery. If anything god encouraged the beating of slaves as long as they didn’t die straight after beating. So why should I believe such an ignorant book written by ignorant western men to control me.

  3. It is so wonderful to see so many people visit this page & ministry. It shows that we all need a place where we can offload our burdens & hope to get answers. It’s indeed the right place to come because the Scriptures are alive with the Holy Spirit to guide us all through this journey for those who respond to the call. God Bless Zambia

  4. We are all bound by biblical truth. Its either we have backslided or the word of truth has not reached us and we must be careful the way we respond because it could be the holy spirit speaking through some people. If you dont believe god will find a way for you to acknowledge his presence in your life.
