“And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings…”- Malachi 2:1-2 “And now, O ye priests…” According to Revelation 1:6, God has made us kings and priests, so this passage refers to every believer, not only to pastors or preachers. “… Now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart…” It's one thing to hear, it's another thing to lay it to heart. You may forget what you hear but you can't forget what you lay to heart. God is telling us here that thanksgiving is a thing we must lay to heart; we must impress it upon our hearts. When you lay something to heart it means you have made a decision to do it, your circumstances not withstanding. Perhaps, the reason you are not consistent in some pursuits of your life is because you have not decided. The strength to carry out any duty or assignment is decision based. God said, “…If ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you…” When you don't glorify God what looks like glory around you turns into shame. The absence of thanksgiving attracts curses. So, thanksgiving sustains blessings, it protects and shields your blessing from corruption. We don't only thank God for what He has done we are also thank Him to retain what He has done. We thank Him to fulfill Eccl 3:14, “Whatsoever the Lord doeth it shall be forever.” Your blessings will endure only as long as your thanksgiving remains. Thanksgiving will never leave you where it met you. Paul and Silas were in prison but as soon as they began to sing praises and give thanks to God, their chains gave way (Acts 16:25-26). No matter the pit you are in, when you start thanking God you start going up. Start thanking God in your low estate, you will soon end up in your high estate. I see you going up today!

How do we forgive when we’re angry and hurt? As a first step, we can be willing to truly feel our anger and hurt. Honouring our feelings by being fully present with them helps to release the feelings themselves. And it helps to remember that people only hurt others when they themselves are in pain. When we can recognize the other person’s suffering, our heart can open in compassion. We can also remember that at some time or another, we too have hurt someone through our own unskilful action. Only love can heal the rifts caused by a hurtful deed. Forgiveness holds immense power because it mends separation. It moves us towards the unity and love that lie at the core of our being. It is a fundamental part of the healing process.

"Self Love" 1Cor. 10:12 - 'Don't be so naive and self-confident. You're not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it's useless. Cultivate God-confidence.' - The Message Bible "Believe in yourself" "I believe I can fly!" "Learning to love yourself, is the greatest love of all" "Knowledge of self" "Touch your inner self" "Tap into your human spirit" "You are your destiny" "What is your zodiac sign?" All these are popular sayings in our culture. We hear them in our secular society often. You watched Oprah Winfrey, listening to the new aged teachings of Iyanla Vanzant or even listening to neo-soul artists like Erykah Badu will many times encourage you to tap into your inner self! But does God encourage us to search and find ourselves on our own? Should we build up ourselves without him or his knowledge of us? What does the Word tell us about practicing self knowledge or tapping into our human spirit? Well, the bible calls this an abomination! Your human spirit and knowledge of self is only to be manifested from your relationship with Jesus Christ. Only God knows who you are and only the Word of God can teach you how to be who he says you are. I know this is a touchy subject, but I gotta say something! We as believers cannot be coaxed into finding ourselves without God. God made us, and he knows who we are and why we are. We cannot take the advice of people that do not support the true written Word of God. These self healers and self preachers are warped in their thinking because they feel somehow that they can bypass the bible and show you who you are without the creator of you. God forbid. In the Old Testament, the Egyptians were a culture very much like ours today. They began worshipping themselves and idol gods. They would pierce their bodies in places as sacrificial pain rituals. They would tattoo themselves to channel gods and spirits. They would worship objects as gods. They would tap into their human spirit to do supernatural things such as healing the ill, magic, levitation, and other things. They would worship themselves and believe that they were the true gods of this planet. They would consult the stars for their destiny, or consult psychics for guidance. But God took his people out of that culture because that culture totally denied him as God. Even though they acknowledged that there was a "Jehovah" God, because they worshipped other gods, it made their knowledge of Jehovah God non existent. (God has to be your only God or he is not your god at all!) When you practice all this self love, self worship, and self seeking, you totally take God out of the picture. Yes, we should be confident and be who we are in the Kingdom of God but without Jesus, we are nothing. Without his Words, we don't know who we are. How can you find yourself without choosing his ways or following his Word? And you must never tap into the power of your human spirit because it's reserved for our communication with God alone! Our human spirit is only for God's use, and it's an abomination for us to tap into it! The first rule in following God is to deny yourself, not promote yourself or find yourself! Learning to love yourself is not the greatest love of all according to the Word of God. Follow Jesus, and he will teach you who you are. Suggested reading: Deut. 18:9-14, Matthew 16:24, Proverbs 3:6

How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Praise be to you, O Lord; teach me your decrees. With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth. I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word. Psalm 119:9-16

Heavenly Father, we thank You for giving us Your only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who died on the cross to save us from sins. May we will be able to appreciate the sacrifice of Jesus and realize that our problems and trials are nothing compared to the sacrifice of Jesus. May we may be able to take our Daily CROSSes in life with an understanding that everything happens for a reason, that at the end, "your will be done,O Lord" . May we follow Christ obedience and Faith, trusting that You will never ever abandoned us.Thank You for giving us a new Hope to repent and renew our life.All this we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.Amen!
