DISSENSION

In the dictionary, dissension is defined as disagreement or quarreling. Satan and his followers are working very hard to cause dissension at homes, churches, and even our work places. We must not fall into the hands of Satan’s plot; he will use you to the maximum by causing dissension in homes, churches and etc., until such time as he has no use of you, then destruction may come upon you or your family. At that time, we cannot blame anyone, but ourselves. So why do we give Satan the chance? Remember, he was defeated at the time of the cross, when Jesus said, “IT IS FINISHED!”
We as Ministers, Pastors or Reverends, must help those who are weaker in faith by guiding and leading them to the Lord Jesus Christ. For example, let say a child fell right before you, instantly we would normally help the child to his or her feet and if there is any dirt or rubbish on their clothes, we would try to dust it off. Am I right? Now, let’s get back to the words. Let us all say Amen to that! I truly believe the Lord will bless the Ministers, Pastors and Reverends for helping and saving the lost souls. I know it is very difficult to do; however, with the Lord’s blessing, we can do it. “WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE”. In other words, we can do the possible and he can do the impossible. Do you agree with me, that he is an awesome God? Don’t you all agree with me? If you agree with me, say Amen!!! The Angels will sing and Heaven will rejoice!!!
We must pray to our Lord Jesus Christ and have fellowship with him. Ask him for his blessing and protection on all of us. We all have a body- each looks different; each has different strengths and weaknesses, but as physical, earthly bodies, they are all alike. All believers are promised life after death and a body like Christ’s, a resurrected body. (NLT) 1 Cor. 15:48-49 48 Every human being has an earthly body just like Adam’s, (I called it our space suit) but our heavenly bodies will be just like Christ’s. 49 Just as we are now like Adam, the man of the earth, so we will someday be like Christ, the man from heaven. Don’t you think that is wonderful? There will be no more tears in our eyes nor any sickness, but laughter, smiling and fullness of joy. Amen!!! (So be it)
Once again, we must not fall into the hands of our enemy, (Satan). It is much better to fall into the hands of our Lord Jesus Christ and trust him. Are you with me so far? Amen!!!
So Pastors, Ministers and Reverends, our accountability with God is so great, we cannot afford to be caught in Satan’s plot. The consequence are so great, it could be very rewarding or punishment to the maximum. (NLT) Matt. 25:41 Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his demons! I know no one is perfect in this world, except the Lord Jesus Christ, so we must always ask God for forgiveness. For example, let say we offend someone with the intent to hurt that person, it is much better to tell that person, I am very sorry, please forgive me, than having a sin upon you.
As men and women of God, the accountability will be much greater than for the members of the church. Why? In God’s eyes we are the leaders of our flocks, so the responsibility will be ours. Do you agree with me? For example, let’s say a police officer committed a crime and he got caught and he faced the judge at the court, I believe the judge would say to the police officer, you should know much better than a criminal, because you are representing and upholding the law. You should know what is right or wrong. Like the old saying, the judge may throw the book at him. I am sure you have heard those phases. Are you with me so far? So the bottom line is do not cause any dissension or offend anyone in your home, church or your work place. We are all children of God and if we hurt someone, it is like hurting your brothers and sisters in Christ. We as parents or grandparents, must help our younger children, so when they grow up in this world, they will be able see what is right and wrong, such as avoiding taking drugs or doing sinful things. Like my good friend, brother Carl has always strongly believed and said, “EVERYTHING STARTS AT HOME!!!” If you agree with me, say Amen!!! May the Lord Jesus bless Carl and his family and all of us. Have a joyful and wonderful day. Remember, “The joy of the Lord is our strength in our life.” I pray these messages are very informative to you.
