Let go of bitterness.


“Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled”
Hebrews 12:15(KJV).

From our opening scripture, we see that the reason why many persons are not experiencing the favor of God in their lives is because of anger. If you are not experiencing the favour of God in your life right now, it is not because the witches in your village are very powerful; it might be because you have refused to forgive others.

Another thing you would observe from our opening scripture about bitterness is that, when you have bitterness inside of you, it will trouble you. In other words, that bitterness from within you will give place to the devil, who will come into your life with many troubles.

Bitterness defiles your spirit. And when your spirit is defiled with bitterness in this way, you give the devil license to influence your life, and when that happens, you will become vulnerable to sin. I want you to observe this from Hebrews 12:15-16, “Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.”
I have found out that people who have addictive behavior can trace that addiction to unforgiveness. So, learn to forgive people today and let go of those who have hurt you right from childhood and just forgive them, you will find that you will begin to experience the progress that you want to see.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I surrender my heart to you and to the love of God. I thank you for your love is shed in my heart by the Holy Spirit that you have given to me. I thank you for your grace is released towards me to release me from bitterness and every addictive behavior. In Jesus Name. Amen.

For further study read: 
John 13:34-35, 1 John 2:9-10, 1 John 3:10-16, 1 John 4:7-8, Hebrews 13:1.

DOING THE WORD
Let go of bitterness and walk in love with all men.
