OVERLOOKING OFFENSE

OUR DAILY BENEFITS DEVOTIONAL

OFFENCE!

ACTS  24:16 

And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.

MEDITATION

Offense is the inability to have firm control over our emotions because of lack of good understanding and maturity. 

Life is a hurdle race and day in day out, things will be continually positioned in our path to provoke us to be discourage and give up or misbehave and stumble. It's therefore our responsibility to take decision that will strengthen us to overcome these hurdles. Wise man Solomon once said in Prov.19.11 ...; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.  Offence therefore is a choice. 

Mastery of offence calls for cultivating a defence system in our senses and spirit. We don't assume self control, we guard our hearts; we don't pray for meekness, we humble ourselves;  we don't delegate vigilance, we watch out by ourselves and we don't buy maturity, we grow to it. We must be gentle, meek, vigilant and mature to master and overlook  offence. 

Offence is the stepping stone to anger and anger when it is mature translates into sin. Be quick to assimilate, but slow to react, abounding in love. Overlooking an offense is our responsibility. 

AFFIRMATION

I am meek and matured.  I overlook offense. 

 PRAYERS

Father, lead me not into temptation and deliver me from offense in Jesus name

Good morning beloved!
