5 Minutes on Faith: Do Not Take the Bait #61

The Expense of Offense Ensnares us in every Sense.

Offense in the Greek is the word skandalon: A stick for bait (of a trap), a snare, stumbling block.

Offense will quickly harden your spirit, keep you feeling down or rejected, interrupting your progress in life. If held onto bitterness and unforgiveness take root and over time it may ultimately affect your health.
Allowing offense to take precedent in your life shuts down your ability to hear from the LORD.
Satan uses offense to rob us from the promises of God.

Proverbs 18:19 “A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.”

Gardening Examples:
If we are seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness all these things we need to operate in life will be added unto us: Matt 6:33.

Mark 4: 16-17 if seed the WORD is “…sown on stony ground…and have no root in themselves, and … when affliction or persecution ariseth… immediately they are offended.”

Luke 10:19 Jesus said “Behold, I have given you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
