DEAL WITH THAT RESENTMENT

You cannot harbour resentment and fulfill God's purpose for your life.
You cannot hold grudges and still be effective at your purpose.
The best way to live life is to live it free - free of offence, guilt, shame, the need for revenge, etc. Freedom is God's will for us!
The problem with bitterness and resentment is that they unconsciously develop roots in your life.
Before you know it, you become who you're not - always angry, bitter, sad, and resentful towards others. No one likes to be around such people.
Bitterness and resentment come in so many ways including, offence in relationships - even between husbands and wives, careless words spoken to you by a loved one, colleague, or friend, something you feel you're entitled to that you were not given, etc.
Whatever it is, please, do all you can to forgive before the issue gets too deep into your emotions and start feeding your desire for revenge.
We cannot be called to set people free yet be living in bondage ourselves. Bound people can't others free! Captives must first be freed before they can free others.
Always remember, bitterness will not change your offender but it will change you, and certainly not for good!
For the sake of pleasing God and fulfilling His purpose for your life, let go of any offence; passionately detest resentment and forgive quickly.
I believe in you.

Looking at my life today, some might assume I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth. They see the progress, the platforms, the opportunities, the impact—and they conclude, “He must have had it all figured out from the start.” But here’s the truth... I wasn’t born with a golden spoon. In fact, I wasn’t even born with a spoon at all. The circumstances surrounding my birth were far from rosy. My beginning was rough, humble, and almost forgettable by the standards of this world. There was nothing to suggest that I would one day stand where I stand today, speak as I speak today, or do what I do today. But I was helped. I was helped by God. That’s the only reason I’ve come this far. And that, dear friend, is why I’m writing this—to remind you that it doesn’t matter where or how you were born . Your background, no matter how limiting or disadvantaged, cannot stop God’s plan for your life. You may not have had the best education. You may have been born into poverty. You may have been rejected, neglected, abandoned or overlooked. But when God steps into your life , He rewrites the story. He is not intimidated by your limitations. In fact, He specializes in using the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. He lifts the poor from the dust and sets them among princes (Psalm 113:7-8). You don’t need a silver spoon, golden spoon, or any spoon at all. All you need is His help . My life is a testament to this truth: God still helps men. He still lifts. He still promotes. He still turns nobodies into wonders. And I believe the same will happen for you. If you will let Him, If you will trust Him, If you will surrender your life to Him… You will become a miracle. You will become a wonder. Your story will be one that generations will talk about. So here’s my charge to you: Stop disqualifying yourself based on your background. Stop underestimating what God can do through you. Stop comparing your journey with someone else’s. Instead, start seeking God’s help. Start walking in faith. Start declaring His promises over your life. Because your story—yes, YOUR story—is not over yet. In fact, it’s just beginning. You are next in line for a miracle. I believe in you!
