This year, I was suggested to read the book The Bait of Satan. I have heard of this book for years and never really thought much of it. If I thought anything, it was just another book on God’s plan and how Satan has been destroying that, but Jesus is recovering this.
While talking with a friend who I also consider a leader in my life, I questioned how I can grow in being more effective in ministry. She recommended this book. Trusting her recommendation, I purchased it.
This is a book I believe EVERY Christian should read!!!
This book covers the power of offense. How it begins, affects our life, and how to combat it. Why is this so important to recognize? Because offense holds us back from living fully and freely the way God designed us to. And God does not want us to live trapped.
While reading, I was able to pinpoint moments of offense in my life. Areas where I was still holding on to offense. Learning to forgive others who have offended me and asking that God would help those I’ve offended to forgive me.
The reality is that in life people are going to rub us the wrong way. They are going to do us wrong. Whether they mean to or not. We may understand the importance of forgiving. However, offense, bitterness, and separation may still be lingering there. This must be captured before it can go any further.
Since reading this book, I have had many moments to become offended and stay there. This book is helping me to quickly recognize that seed and squash it before it can even begin to grow. This book is helping me in my personal life and areas of ministry. Increase your walk in godly love by overcoming the bait of Satan – offense.
