*BE NOT WEARY IN WELL DOING*
"But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing." - 2 Thessalonians 3:13 (KJV)
Beloved, we live in a time when gratitude seems scarce and betrayal is common. Many believers have walked away from the church because of hurtful experiences with fellow Christians. Some have vowed never to help anyone again because their kindness was repaid with pain or deceit. Truly, nothing cuts deeper than the wound inflicted by a friend or a fellow believer. The devil knows this too well, that’s why when he wants to deal a heavy blow, he often uses someone close to you. He knows such wounds pierce the heart deeply and can easily drive you into offense or bitterness.
But child of God, don’t fall for the devil’s schemes.
Yes, it hurts, but be not weary in well doing. Don’t let someone’s failure in love make you abandon your nature in Christ. Don’t allow one painful experience to harden your heart. Like my wife, Bishop Peace Okonkwo, often says when such things happen: “Put it under the blood and move on.”
The blood of Jesus is so powerful that it doesn’t just cover sin, it completely wipes it away. So when you’re wounded, run to the cross. Don’t run from people, run to the cross where healing flows.
You may say, “But you don’t know how badly it hurts.” Let me ask you: How badly was Jesus hurt when He walked the path to Calvary, bruised, beaten, and rejected, all for your sins? Are you aware that if you were the only sinner on earth, He would still have gone to the cross just for you? That’s how deep His love runs.
If God could forgive you despite your failures, who are you not to forgive? You might say, “I’ll forgive, but I won’t forget.” But imagine if Jesus kept a record of your wrongs, could you stand? If your answer is no, then you have no right to hold on to another’s offense.
Yes, it hurts. Yes, it’s painful. But don’t let the hurt shut you out of God’s blessings. Don’t let bitterness rob you of joy. Keep loving. Keep serving. Keep doing good. For in due season, you will reap, if you faint not.
