DEALING WITH HATE IN LIFE AND MINISTRY.

Genesis 27:41 (KJV)...... And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.

I was led by the Lord to write to us about this. The same way he led me to teach it in one of our teachers' classes. The church is under the attack of the enemy, and he is using one of his weapons to carry out this attack, and that weapon is called 'HATE'.

Hate is a spirit, but it can also be an ordinary feeling of dislike for someone or something, but when that spirit attaches itself to it, then it makes the matter worse.

I always ask this question: how can two people who love themselves so much, to the point they agreed to get married and spend the rest of their lives together and have kids, after 5 to 7 years decide to end it?

They start fighting and quarreling every day to the point they regret ever loving each other. How come they fail to know that the hatred they have for each other now is sponsored by a spirit?

This is one of the spirits that is responsible for fights, troubles, and unforgiveness in churches.
This is one of the spirits that split churches. This spirit must not be allowed in your life and ministry lest it stops your journey halfway. Be guided.

Prayer:
I rebuke this spirit and it's work in your life, family and ministry in Jesus name. Every injury it must have stopped, every pain it must have come with, I declare to be healed in Jesus name. Amen. Pray now.

Bible Reference: Genesis 29:1-33.

Wisdom Capsule:
Proverbs 18:12 (MSG)..... Pride first, then the crash, but humility is precursor to honor.
