STOP THAT STRIFE!!
I saw so many virtues in the life of father Abraham recently. What an amazing man of God he was!! So early in the history of the wold, father Abraham already knew that strife was a terrible weapon of destruction. See what he told Lot in Genesis 13:8.which says, And Abram said unto Lot, let there be no strife, I pray thee between me and thee…
2 Timothy 2:24 says, And the servant of the Lord must not strive…. Must is one of the strongest words in the English dictionary. That tells me that the verse of scripture above is not a suggestion but a command. Are you a child of God? Then scripture says you must not strive. Why? James 3:16.says, For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. You get to some homes or ministries and the cloud of strife is thick enough to sit on and read the evening news. This tells me who is in charge there.
If you truly belong to Jesus, you must not thrive in strife. Do something urgently and restore peace. It was Abraham that took steps to end the strife that reared its ugly head between him and Lot. This tells us that the most mature person in any relationship should take the first step in peace making.
If you ask many of the people in prison today, they will confirm that having haboured strife for long, they ended up doing something stupid at an unguarded moment. That is why we should treat strife as the monster it really is. Give it no place between you and your spouse, children, in-laws, colleagues and more. Remember that anything that is rooted in hell will steal, kill and destroy. It is just a matter of time.
