Sabbath Jollof is a weekly message from Pastor Jackson Fidelix for the growth of the church
Hello,
Happy Sabbath to you and I believe you had a lovely week. Today's topic of Sabbath Jollof is
Excess baggage will weigh you down
We cannot move our lives forward with the excess baggage of hurt and anger weighing us down. Some of us are still mad at old lovers, former teachers, and others who did us wrong. . . . When we have painful memories from hurting experiences, we may feel justified in holding on to the resentment. But resentment is corrosive. It doesn't affect the person we feel anger toward, it destroys the host (us).
ALSO
The happiness we find in life is dependent primarily on our attitudes and our thoughts. If we consistently harbor negative ones, our happiness will be minimal or fleeting. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance always to remember that whatever we keep in our minds affects us deeply. If we hold on to feelings of jealousy or resentment, not only are we the cause of our suffering but we essentially are suffering needlessly.
Rarely do the thoughts of resentment and anger we harbor within have any effect at all on the individuals with whom we are resentful or angry, even if we fool ourselves into thinking they do.
Resentment and anger are corrosive and destructive emotions. They take our focus off the countless blessings we have to be grateful in our lives and direct it instead towards our negative feelings and emotions and things of the past. This prevents us from living our lives in the present moment, from fully immersing ourselves in this life. We must have the ability to forgive and forget. When I say forget, I understand that it not easy for something painful to just fly out of your head but to forget simply means not to judge the person or see the person and still feel that anger and pain.. Free yourself from getting angry over that individual. But this is achievable in totality, with prayers..
Some of us are still suffering from the inability to forgive ourselves. God is ever ready to forgive and to bless.. Let him help you to begin again and live a more happy and grudge free live.... Happy Sabbath... Sabbath Jollof is served....
