Gen: 49:3-4
3 “Reuben, you are my firstborn, My might and the beginning of my strength, The excellency of dignity and the excellency of power. 4 Unstable as water, you shall not excel, Because you went up to your father’s bed; Then you defiled it — He went up to my couch.
Control Your Actions
This week, I will be speaking on the topic, “Self Afflicted Trouble”. Have come to discovered that many are going through some pit which they’ve dug for their self in life. Many seems perfect, holy, righteous but their past is still telling on them. Self afflicted trouble is a product of your act in the past that is speaking against you presently.
From our Bible reading today, we saw Reuben, the first born of Jacob, who laid with his father’s concubine, A mother of two children for his father. Reuben went too far and he paid for it, how? He received a curse instead of blessings.
Have you dug a pit for yourself In the past that is hunting you now? Go to God for mercy. The scripture says God is a merciful God, He will have mercy on you if you can ask of him. Are you thinking of some negative act towards someone now? Please think before you take the action.
Think of your past actions it might be the reason of your present predicament.
Do have a wonderful week ahead.
