God’s Blessing on The Unoffended
God’s Blessing on The Unoffended
“Blessed is the one who is not offended by me” Matthew 11:6
God reserves a special blessing for those who accept a hard word from God without taking an offense.
Not all the blessings of God feel like blessings when you first receive them. Some prophetic words from God are rebukes that might initially offend your pride and hurt your feelings.
Like the prophet Jonah who was offended by God’s call to go preach in the rival city of Nineveh, he ran in the opposite direction and felt sorry for himself. Jonah missed this blessing.
Has God spoken a hard word to you recently— did you receive it with a willing spirit, or were you offended?
God has a blessing for you today, but you may need to first renounce the offense.
Loving Father, forgive me for feeling sorry for myself when you gave me a hard word in Jesus name.
Please PRAY!
We are asking God for the remaining world countries and U.S.A. states to receive the training of the College of Prayer. Pray with us today for Comoros and Montana.
