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.

Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
