IN THE QUEST FOR INNER PEACE! (HEB.12:15)
THE DANGER OF BITTERNESS
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; (Heb 12: 15)
One of the great dangers to an effective ministry or even personal Christian life is bitterness. Bitterness is like a poison concoction that stays in the blood. We must of a necessity rid ourselves of bitterness before it is too late.
Bitterness comes into our lives in a predictable pattern. For instance, contaminated envy can become a launchpad for bitterness,i.e, when we're not contended and thankful for what we have,choosing instead to focus on others who we feel and see as better than us, especially when we feel entitled to what they have,being better than them, either academically, more devoted or hardworking,etc.
And before we realise it,we are already hating them in our hearts.Nothing they say or do excite or interest us. We find ourselves secretly glad or satisfied when some kind of misfortune befalls them,though we tend to pretentiously sympathize with them. And this very dangerous indeed. Let us read how apostle Peter spoke about the dreadfulness of bitterness;
21. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.(eternal security, my paraphrase)
22. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.(bitterness,a path to dreadful sin)
23. For I perceive that thou art in the gall of BITTERNESS, and in the bond of iniquity. (Act 8: 21-23)
None of us is immune from the danger of bitterness. However, the good news is that every believer in Christ Jesus can be free(it's a personal choice.)
When we know the pattern of bitterness we can work more effectively to destroy this stronghold before it takes root.
Before I go on, allow me to shock you,no matter whether you believe it or not...MANY OF IN OUR DIFFERENT GROUPS DON'T LIKE OR SHARE,HOW MUCH MORE COMMENT ON SOME WONDERFUL POSTS. NOW,IT ISN'T BECAUSE WE DON'T LIKE THE POSTS, BUT IT'S EITHER BECAUSE, WE AREN'T THE AUTHORS OR DON'T LIKE WHO AUTHORED IT. WE CAN'T DENY THIS. IT'S MOSTLY AN UNCONSCIOUS AFFAIR. WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS IDENTIFY AND SET GUARDRAILS AROUND OUR MINDS TO TWART THE DEVIL IN HIS CRAFTINESS.
THE PREDICTABLE PATTERN OF BITTERNESS!
A wound. Bitterness usually begins like an infection that enters the body through a wound. The wound may be small. However, an untreated wound can have devastating effects. A critical word, a heated argument, a misunderstanding, an injustice, a betrayal, or some type of abuse are all ample opportunities to be wounded. Wounds can come from a parent, child, spouse, friend, or group in the church. Some are wounded by situations they cannot control or change. The types of wounds people experience are as numerous as grains of sand on the beach. Wounds come in all shapes and sizes. Anyone can get wounded.
An important thing to note about wounds is that they can be real or imagined. Sometimes we get wounded by something someone did or said. Other times, we get wounded by what we *THINK* someone said or did. OUR imaginations can get carried away with this type of speculation.
It’s verydangerous to assume we know the inward motivations of others.
Disappointment. When a wound is not dealt with properly disappointment follows. It is the next pitstop on the road towards bitterness. Disappointment can come when we feel that we have been let down, betrayed, or defeated. Those are common feelings when you have been wounded. These type of feelings can be directed toward others, a specific situation, or God. The idea that we can feel disappointed in God makes many of us uncomfortable. (I don’t even like typing that statement). There is no justifiable reason to be disappointed in God.Rather,it should be the other way round...GOD BEING DISAPPOINTED IN US!Nevertheless, this can happen because we are sinful creatures who are prone to wander.
Anger. The next stop on the road to bitterness is anger. Anger is the result of allowing disappointment to fester in our hearts. This untreated ailment begins to stir our passions and emotions. When a person allows anger to brew in their lives, the effects will be apparent. It can be seen in their attitude, negativity, sharp words, irritability, or a lack of peace and joy. The bottom line is this: an angry heart manifests itself in some way.
Unforgiveness. If left unchecked, anger opens the door to unforgiveness. How do we know if we are harboring unforgiveness?
Here are a few questions to ask ourselves :
(A)Does a person’s name cause your stomach to tighten?
(B)When thinking about a specific situation (or conversation) does your joy evaporate?
(C) Do you secretly wish for vindication or retribution?
(D) Do you long for the day when those who hurt us experience the pain we have experienced?
These are a few clues that unforgiveness is lurking in our hearts. And listen, like I always,we are all in this together... there's hardly a believer who will pass those just four tests of unforgiving spirit. Personally, I know I can't pass any without HIS GRACE. WHOSE GRACE... GOD'S!
As followers of Christ Jesus, having experienced His Love and forgiveness, we are called to extend lavish amounts of grace and forgiveness. God’s forgiveness is unlimited; the forgiveness we show others should be the same;
21. Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22. Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. (Mat 18: 21-22)
70×7=490...We all know what Christ Jesus meant was unlimited.
Are our thoughts about the person that hurt us marked by an attitude of extending grace and peace? Are we free to choose to love, bless, and wish this person the best? Or, do we secretly hope our offender experiences the same pain we have experienced? Yet, there's another crucial issue here,*TRUST!* In my region,there is a popular maxim,*I FORGIVE BUT DON'T FORGET* Do you hear this in your community? It's wrong...it is difficult and may take time, but let's try and lean on Christ Jesus and declare,*FATHER, FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO* Only then can we gradually learn to again trust those who put us down. BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL IT'S NOT A DAY'S JOB...I USED TO HAVE A NOTE I CALLED*MY BLACK NOTE,* THOUGH IT WAS ACTUALLY AN ORANGE COLOURED EXERCISE BOOK. IN IT, I PAINSTAKINGLY WRITE DOWN EVERY WRONG DONE ME,DATE,TIME,EVERY DETAIL.
But ask me,if I knew or thought others are writing theirs against me too? You see,I NEVER thought of that. I am always the one wronged...I NEVER wronged anyone. That was my college days,but it affected for a long time punishing myself.
Forgiveness is all about grace and mercy. Unforgiveness is all about the details, hurts, and wrongs.
Yes, that's BITTERNESS. When a person is bitter they focus on the wrongs of others, while oblivious to their own sin. Those who are bitter can recall conversations, words, and details about the people or events that hurt them. Bitterness remembers the details. A bitter person will rationalize their own innocence while condemning the one(s) who hurt them. A bitter person may in fact be the victim to a horrible injustice. However, allowing the injury of that wrong to remain unhealed is dangerous. A bitter person is tormented and abused by the past. The good news is that no follower of CHRIST JESUS has to be bitter. No matter the offense, pain, or injustice, you can experience healing.
Bitterness can be difficult to diagnose in our own lives because it distorts our perception and skews the way we look at things.
Painfully, many of us in ministry struggle with bitterness. We serve on the frontlines of spiritual battles. Not everyone outside (or inside) the church likes to see people working to advance the gospel. Pastors, pastors’ wives, and ministry leaders can find themselves under attack. So, we must be careful to keep ourselves free from even a hint of bitterness.
Again for the upteemth time, BITTERNESS can be difficult to DIAGNOSE in our OWN LIVES because it DISTORTS our PERCEPTION and SKEWS the way we LOOK at THINGS.
We can be bitter while claiming “I’m not bitter! How could you say that?” We can tell ourselves we have forgiven someone while still allowing resentment to fester and build. Allowing bitterness to remain in our lives will plunge us further and further away from the liberty and freedom of Christ Jesus.It will harden, break, and destroy the good in our lives .
Bitterness erodes optimism, shatters joy, and kills our ability to love others well. A bitter person goes through life with a heart that does not fully function. They live in a land of spiritual poverty while those around them drown.
Forgiveness through Our Lord and Saviour's pattern and model is the key to break free from BITTERNESS.
Part of Christ Jesus’ coming into the world was to *destroy the works of the devil,*(see 1 John 3:8b). Bitterness is a work of our flesh that the devil loves to exploit. Christ Jesus came so that we could be truly free!IN THE QUEST FOR INNER PEACE!
