Say No to Offense

(Matthew 11:6 KJV) And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.


God's people need to understand how destructive the spirit of offense is. Nothing stops the flow of God's power like the spirit of offense.

Your ability to walk in excellence is tied to the blessing of God in your life. This blessing is what locates you at the appropriate place at the right time for the divine experience that leads to excellence.

The enemy knows you cannot be stopped if the blessing is flowing. So he looks for things that can hinder the flow of the blessing. And this is the reason why he throws offenses along your path.

Offense is a blessing blocker. It stops the power of God in your life. Friend, be smart. Don't allow the enemy to abort your destiny. There is a glorious future awaiting you. Be wise enough to protect yourself in the power of God's love.

Do not be ignorant. You need the power to excel in life. The blessing of Abraham must not be hindered in your life. Get the message across to the spirit of offense: I will not be stopped.
