ALWAYS ON HIGH

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

—JEREMIAH 15:16

Do you know why some people take drugs? It gives them a high feeling of joy and ecstasy. Unfortunately it wears off, destroys the body, and keeps them hooked. Some even turn to crime to sustain this habit.

The world can be a depressing place, and the pressures of work, family, school, children, health, challenges, and issues can lead you into depression.

God has a high for you. It is called the Word of God. How do you inject this high?

Jeremiah said, Thy words were found. Make it a point to consciously find the Word of God each day by reading your Bible. Otherwise negative words from the TV, office, friends, enemies, doctors, and the world will find you.

Jeremiah continued, After I found it, I ate it, which means, I obeyed it and was filled with joy. In other words, he became high!

Make sure to get high each morning and evening with the Word of God, and drive depression backwards!

FORGIVE

But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

—1 JOHN 2:11

Friend, has someone offended you before? Or are you bitter towards someone? One of the most dangerous sins that can take us out of fellowship with God is unforgiveness. Immediately it plunges you into spiritual darkness.

One day a brother did something to me that made me very unhappy. For some reason I decided to cool off but remained cordial. After this incident I had a vision. In the vision I had been taken away from the presence of God and locked up in a cell with hardened criminals. The jailor said to me, You are here because you did not forgive brother so-and-so. For that reason you have been removed from the presence of God. I could not believe it! I begged for forgiveness and pledged to take away every bitterness from my heart. Then and only then was I released.

Most of us take the initial stance I took when we are offended. We say, I have forgiven him, but he doesn’t have to be my friend. This kind of forgiveness is mental, but in the depths of our hearts we harbour bitterness. We must go the extra mile to love those who hate us because unforgiveness can damage our fellowship with God.

If you have not spoken to your wife for days, now is the time to bring the glory back. If you have something against your parents, forgive them and entertain the Holy Spirit. Are you bitter towards your boss who seems to not like you? Forgive him and restore your relationship with God.

Decide to be close to God by being forgiving. Forgive today whoever has offended you and stay connected to God!

DON’T MISTAKEN PATIENCE FOR WEAKNESS

And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation.

—2 PETER 3:15

The word longsuffering is an old English word which means patience.

Sometimes when you are patient with people they may mistake it for weakness and abuse it. A husband who mistreats his wife continuously may take the wife’s patience for granted and verbally, physically, or emotionally abuse her. One day that husband may return home to find that patient woman gone out of his life permanently. That is when the value of what he has lost will strike him.

God is like that. He is very patient with us in spite of all our stubbornness and wickedness. Some people mistake this for weakness. Scripture tells us, The long-suffering or patience of God is to give us an opportunity to be saved.

A day is coming when the patience of God will run out.

Now is the time for us to take advantage of the patience of God to reform, repent, and be saved before judgment falls!

DON’T PUT ME IN A BOX

But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and
