You Vs. Yourself - Part 4

You can be free from yourself. You can be free from any addiction. You can be free from your fears, worries and doubts. You can be free from that guilt. You can be free from any limitation. Nothing is too big and nothing is too tiny; God is able to help. You can be free from the memories of your past. You can be free from any thing that is holding you bond and God is fully committed to see you experience the freedom.
The only way to defeat your self is when you decide to embrace your personal relationship with God. There is no formula to this; study your bible and pray toward God revealing to you ‘the original you.’ The ‘original you’ is the original plan and purpose of God for creating you. Study your bible and pray to God with the aim of you knowing him more and you knowing who you are in Him. 

This is the kingdom you need to seek for and the bible says, if you seek first the kingdom EVERY OTHER THINGS WILL BE ADDED TO YOU. So stop pursing relationship, wealth and good living. Focus on discovering who God is to you and who you are in Him. That is where victory abounds. 

I want to go a bit deeper in this truth; we have some much trouble we have created for our selves. This problem is some thing is birthed for the things we see as the solution to our problem. We are trying to our own God. We are sitting on the throne of our own lives denying Jesus His Lordship over your life. We have convinced ourselves to believe we can do things with God. We trust in our own ways and we have become wise in our own eyes by denying the wisdom of God’s word. 

Genesis 3:7 reveals the source of our problem. We are creating covering for ourselves. We are created mask for our selves and daily we live in the pain we have created for our selves. We are in prison we have used our own very hands to build. We are slaves of our own circumstances. We are under pressure; trying to impress people and trying to meet up the standard people are setting for us. We are trying our best to fit into other people’s definition of success. We are now the very problem of our selves yet we blame and accuse the people or the situations surround our lives. This is not the plan of God for our live.

This is a war between you and yourself. We are the judge and still the accused. The worst of it all is, we don’t even want to believe God can help us. We are now blinded by what people will say, how they will see us and how we want them to treat us so much that we now live a lie. We put up attitudes just to fit into the expectation of people. We compromise our faith and values just to gain people’s approval. Singles are having sex before marriage because they don’t want people to think they are social enough or outdated – they want to feel a sense of belonging. Single sisters that get pregnant abort their promising child because they don’t want people to think they are irresponsible.

Fathers lie to their child just to gain respect. Ladies behave so rude to men because they want the men to see them as expensive and as a wife material. Men borrow money to impress ladies because they want the ladies to see them as responsible me. Youths lies to keep their relationship instead of being truthful and grow. Teenagers sacrifice their education on the altar of sex and dating because they want to gain approval from their friends.

Pastor lie on the pulpit because they want to impress the Church. We all in one way or the other live our lives with covering ups. Some people use the kind of phone they use as a means of covering for their insecurity. Some people use fashion as a means of covering for their insecurity. Some people are so domineering just to cover their insecurity and doubts. Some people are so abusive just to cover up their low self esteem. Some people date, it’s not because they need the relationship. It’s because they don’t want to be seen unattractive to ladies or men.

Will you say the truth and die or you will speak lies to live?
