THE FIVEFOLD MINISTRY

NO OFFENSE

________________________


Jesus told us that we must forgive all who have offended or transgressed [sinned] against us. However, if we are offended or hurt, forgiveness is a choice we make. That choice requires us to either keep the offense or to forgive those who offended us. Which do we choose?


Proverbs 19:11 tells us that it is far better to not take offense in the first place. Again, it is a choice to not feel offended. To say “but I couldn’t help it” is a lousy excuse, thus a lousy choice. You choose to feel hurt or offended, or you choose not to be.


Proverbs 19:11 says, “The discretion [choice] of a man deferred [puts aside] his anger, and it is his glory to pass over [ignore] a transgression.”


The NIV says it this way: “A person’s wisdom yields patience. It is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.” You refuse to even acknowledge an offense.


The Amplified Bible says it this way: “Good sense and discretion make a man slow to anger [withholding an emotional response]. And it is his honor and glory to [entirely] overlook a transgression or an offense [without seeking revenge or harboring resentment].”


The message here is that if anybody says something or does something against you, it should be like “water off a duck’s back.” It should never “ruffle your feathers.” It is your choice not to take it personally.


Proverbs 19:11 tells us it is wisdom to never get offended. To be offended and forgive the offender is actually a failure in wisdom, since we shouldn’t be offended in the first place. To take offense is to allow that person to have control over you through being offended.

A TALE OF TWO BROTHERS

__________________

 

The Word of God talks about two brothers. Same Father, (Abraham) but different mothers. (Sarah and Hagar). One was born of the mother (Sarah) that was given a promise from God, while the other was born of a mother (Hagar) that came as a result of not waiting on God. These two brothers represent the flesh versus the Spirit. One was God’s plan, and the other was man’s plan. 

 

So often God has a plan for us, but we fail to wait, or we take things into our own hands to bring the plan about. This can be a very foolish thing to do. It can lead to “family feuds,” and cause us to miss out on God’s best in our lives. The Ishmael’s (Muslims) and Isaac’s (Jews) are still at war today because of Sarah’s plan.

 

 Are you waiting for a promise from God? Has it been taking a long time for it to come to pass? Be sure of this one thing, that God has a plan, and He will bring things to pass in His time, not ours. 

 

It may happen quickly, but chances are that it will not happen that quickly.  Humans are very vulnerable when they are born. They cannot take care of themselves.  A human must grow and develop into the child stage, then young person, then teenager, then adulthood, then seasoned adults! It takes time to mature. There are diseases that rush this aging process only to bring death prematurely because the body aged too fast. 

 

One of the most precious gifts from God is patience. Patience gives us the ability to trust while the matter is being taken care of by God. I think it would be an entirely different world if there had been no Ishmael. Waiting for Isaac was difficult to say the least, but waiting was God’s plan. 

 

I feel sorry for Ishmael. It wasn’t his fault that he was born, but because of his birth it has caused great dissension between two half-brothers. 

 

Think about your decisions before you make them. What will that decision birth?  God never gives us a bad plan, but it takes time to bring it to maturity. While you are waiting, grow in the things of God and become the best you can be. Gods timing is always perfect!

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

5-29-2024


I keep hearing in my spirit, "don't quit." Some of you need to just take a little time away from everything and rest. God cannot work through a tired, weary body. It is not the time to quit my friends. The battles are heating up and God needs all His soldiers in shape to win this war. Now, breathe, decide you are going to be on the winning team and let God touch you today with a fresh anointing of His Holy Spirit. Don't Quit!

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

5-28-2024


Dream BIG, reach HIGH; And don’t be afraid to spread your wings and FLY. Go for all of that’s is in your heart to do. Don't let time or obstacles stand in your way. You only have one life; Live it to the fullest and always treat others the way you want to be treated. Don’t waste a moment of your life on bitterness and unforgiveness…It’s just NOT worth what it will COST you. After all it’s you who’ll lose in the end; And just because of what you foolishly held onto. So turn it loose and it will set you FREE to be all you were really meant to be…But up till now you’ve been too full of worrying about people, places, things and yourself to FLY. Now just make your mind up to DO it; And you’ll soon find the gift of PEACE and JOY was WORTH it all. So go ahead and DO it…For all of life’s purpose, plans and fulfillment are awaiting you…Now just embrace it with open arms and you’ll have yourself a blessed day…And a better life.

Scripture Of The Day


Lamentations 3:21-24

Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope. Because of the Lord’s great Love, we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion,” therefore I will wait for Him.


In the midst of all that he saw going on around him; the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians, Jeremiah had to say; “because of God’s great Love, I am not consumed.”



And so are we able to say the same. In the midst of all that is happening around us; because of God’s great love, we are not consumed. Jeremiah goes on to say that God’s Love never fails and that they are new every morning. So every day is a new day, because of God’s faithfulness. And in that declaration we can say again, “You, Lord are my portion, therefore I will wait on You.”

 Tough Times! HCC

 

                       Even if it’s hard, you do what is right.

                      Tough times teach you to grow and to persevere.

                      What seed can we sow today?

                      Who can we put a bow on and celebrate?

                      Will it be someone you know,

                      Or someone you do not?

                      Maybe a homeless person,

                      Or someone that’s lonely, or maybe,

                      Someone in prison. Tough times befall us all.

                      But look ahead, look to what is coming.

                      Look to the Heavens and what’s,

                      Waiting for you and I. Tell others,

                      Pray they listen. Listen and believe,

                     The truth about life and Eternity.

                     The risen Christ, follow him today!
