BITTERNESS OF SOUL CANCEROUS LIKE JEALOUSY!
FOREWORD
BITTERNESS OF SOUL CANCEROUS
LIKE JEALOUSY!
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked:
who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give
every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
In my life as a Christian, I have always encountered
the most despiteful believers along my way. It’s hard for me to come to terms
with this unfortunate reality of living among the most bitter people on the
Planet, who claim to know Christ and yet when my spirit tries to connect with
theirs; it’s greeted with a bold ACCESS DENIED sign!
Well, what about the wry smiles on their faces and why do you still
feel unwelcomed? In case you don’t know this, we first connect thru our hearts
before we finally interact or engage in any soulful form. To my surprise, I
have always found the most friendly persons outside of our Christian Fraternity
and I don’t know why it’s like that: nor understand this diabolic behaviour
consuming the so-called Brethren!
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right
spirit within me. There’s a dirty heart for every clean one out there, and
there’s an impure spiteful heart for every pure and renewed one. No one can
force you to change if you do not see any reason why. Your heart is you
personified, and your heart knows how evil and despiteful it can get sometimes:
and this is exactly what David feared most, hence this prayer!
Did you ever notice how babies kick out when a despiteful person
tries to handle them? Poor baby will kick and scream so loud as if it was
seeing the Devil: then their mom comes to their rescue and take their baby and,
suddenly, the quiet and lull come over the bewildered baby. The sad part in
this drama is that the person suffering from the bitterness of soul isn’t aware
they’re the cause for this sudden trauma terrorizing the poor baby!
O’ LORD, deliver us from evil and save us from hidden
bitterness of the heart. None but You LORD, can create a clean heart and renew
a right spirit within our sin-soaked nature! God cannot hear a despiteful heart
and a wicked spirit pretending to love God while despising their own Brethren.
Bitterness of Heart is Cancerous like Jealousy and slithers like a
venomous snake on the rocks at the ready to spit its poison into the eyes of
the simple. Most bitter Christians are not even aware of their bitterness since
they’re always looking over them walls of self-righteousness and counting the
steps of people they perceive as sinners! For all tables are full of vomit and
filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the LORD
reward him according to his works: of whom be thou aware also, for he hath
greatly withstood our words. At first answer no man stood with me, but all men
forsook me: I pray God that it not be laid to their charge.
Apostle Paul, like ordinary Christians also suffered at the hands
of the so-called fellow Believers who were full of spite and jealousy.
Alexander and many others suffered from the bitterness of soul and tried hard
to impede Paul from doing his duties as the Apostle. They never succeeded as
the LORD delivered Paul, anyway.
Wow, Sydney, did you really write all these things by
yourself: the hypocrites pretend to care when they know deep down their
spiteful hearts, they are cussing with jealousy.
Spiteful Joseph’s brothers threw him down the pit thinking, a good Joseph is a dead one! Later on, the Midianites pulled him out and sold Joseph for twenty pieces of silver to the Ishmaelites.
Later
during the hard times of the seven-year drought, God used the same Joseph to
feed and deliver them from the bitterness of their souls and envious hearts!
You just can’t wrestle with a man’s gift and win, for the man is operating
on the side of Heaven and God is for him! Get out of the way and let the gentleman do
his thing!
