2020
Memorise: And if thy right eye offend thee,
pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of
thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into
hell. Matthew 5:29
Read: Matthew 5:28-30 (KJV)
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust
after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from
thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and
not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from
thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and
not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Message:-
When
hunters want to catch an eagle, they tie a big hen in a place when the eagle
can easily spot it. When the eagle is flying and it sees the hen, it rejoices,
then it flies down to pick the hen. Unknown to the eagle, the hen is tied down.

When the eagle carries the hen and attempts to fly with it, it pulls hard, triggering a heavy basket that falls over, trapping it there until the hunter comes. The hen is the eagle’s weakness; it cannot resist going for it, so the hunter use that against it. This is the same way the devil traps Christians who fail to deal with their weaknesses. That is why you need to discover and deal with your weakness fast before it destroys you.

Dealing
with a weakness takes conscious painstaking effort. If your weakness for
example is money, you need to consciously resist any temptation to steal. After
you have resisted a few temptation to steal and it looks like you have gotten
over that weakness, don’t be deceived to relax; stay alert. Moses had one
weakness and that was anger. He seemed to have dealt with this weakness as the
Bible recorded that he was the meekest man on earth.
“Now the man Moses was very
meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.” Numbers 12:3
Open Heaven 26 July 2020 Sunday: Action Point
When
the Bible says someone is meek, the fellow is really meek. However, he relaxed
and that same weakness that seemed to have been dealt with was what put him in
trouble (Numbers 20:8-12). Just like hunters, the devil is very patient. Once
he knows a person’s weakness, he will wait until the fellow relaxes, then
strike. David’s weakness was woman and that brought a curse upon his lineage
such that up till today, the sword has not departed from Israel; the nation is
always involved in one war or the other (2nd Samuel 12:10). Not
dealing with your weakness can bring generational consequences. Stay alert;
deal with that weakness and never take the devil’s bait.
Action Point
Identify, resolve
and deal with your weaknesses.
