When is the
body of Christ ever going to stop competing with a dress code…out shinning each
other while looking down at others less fortunate. Yes, when will the church be
provoked to stop having a preaching and singing contest and give God some real
praise and live the life in order that someone that is not saved be compelled
to become saved!

is a Supplanter spirit
is a Supplanter spirit
It’s
definition is: one who grabs by the heel an example is
Jacob in the
Bible
Genesis 27:36
And he said, Is not he rightly named? For he hath supplanted me these two times:
he took my birthright and behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he
said Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
Hosea 12:3 He
took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with
God:
· This is a
competitive spirit as in running a marathon to get in the lead to score points
by any means necessary!
· This should not be
in the church the pulpit nor the pews
Everyone’s gift is unique because God made you that way. We should
always relax and try to be the best that we can without having to feel
inadequate, feeling low self-esteem. One should not fear not being good enough
to the point of being so desperate to prove to the world that you are somebody
while knocking others down on your journey! For we are in the race with
ourselves not with others to press towards the mark of the high calling in
Jesus. My brother and sister lay aside the weight of trying to prove yourselves
to others! Glorify God with all that you have! Amen Beloved let us love one
another!
