Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 38, Day 4: Wednesday, 20th September 2023. TOPIC: SUFFERING: Self Afflicted Suffering – Part 2 (4)

6 Don’t let your mouth make you sin. And don’t defend yourself by telling the Temple messenger that the promise you made was a mistake. That would make God angry, and he might wipe out everything you have achieved. 

We are made to know that one can bring suffering upon himself or herself through bad habits and attitude. Today, we will continue on that same note. Self Afflicted Suffering might come from God because of unfulfilled vows. Most times when we are going through challenges, we are forced to make some commitment to God one way or the other. We make promise to do this or that when God turn things around but we refused or forgot to fulfil it, this also attracts direct suffering from God.

King Solomon said, “Don’t let your mouth make you sin. And don’t defend yourself by telling the Temple messenger that the promise you made was a mistake. That would make God angry, and he might wipe out everything you have achieved.”

God gets angry when we refuse, deny or changed our mind concerning vows made to Him. Why? God never promise and change His mind, so in like manners, He want us to fulfil what we vowed and if not, “That would make God angry, and He might wipe out everything you have achieved.” The truth is this, you might not remember the vow and God wouldn’t let go of it. 

How to Handle Vows.

1. Document your vow. 

2. Make vows you can fulfil. 

3. Let the vow be personal not connected to someone else’s. 

Unfulfiled vows brings suffering from God. Can you sit back and think of vows yet to be paid? Run to God and fulfil them to stop the anger of God.

Good Day and God bless you.
