Bible Reading: Isaiah 43: 18-19
Memory Verse: Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Isaiah 43:18 (MSG)
It is Year 2023. One thing you must not continue to do is to bring the worst of your past into your present. Perhaps in your career you once made a wrong investment, learn from the mistake, but that mustn’t stop you from taking other well calculated risks in the future. Perhaps some issues happened in your past relationships, that does not mean you should seal your mind against subsequent relationships. A bad moment shouldn’t automatically translate to a bad day. You’ve got to be emotionally strong in God. Yes, you can! Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.”
Some people were raped many years ago, yet they keep reliving the experience even in their husband’s house. Now, for no just cause their husband repel them. Yes, you confided in a friend or perhaps your pastor and he betrayed your trust. That shouldn’t be the end of the world. The assumption, “All men of God are the same could rob you of your eternal destiny”. There are angels in men. Man still remains God’s special formula for solving life’s greatest mysteries. A few blue ink dropped in the middle of a mighty ocean wouldn’t contaminate the entire body of water.
Furthermore, some people are suffering from emotional soul tie. Though they are married or in another relationship, they can’t get their mind off their ex. Others are emotionally tied to pornography, masturbation, homosexuality, etc. All these are emotional weights that breed sin, and attract demonic infestations.
In addition, guilt, worry and regret of past wrongs are part of the emotional baggage people carry about. Like a rocking chair that makes no forward progress, such people keep recycling those poisonous streak of thoughts that keeps them continually toxic, irritating and unable to think of a way forward.
