James 5:16
Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].(AMP)
I was working for a certain Supermarket in Uganda some time back as a Supervisor, i used to be so offensive to my subordinates.
As in i could verbally fight them even if they had done some thing very small like being absent without informing me, or not wearing proper uniform.
I made it a habit to fight them because at the end of the day we could accomplish our duties in peace.
Little did i know that having not confessed my offenses to them was hindering my Spirit life in terms of prayer.
You know, i would go for overnights, bible studies etc etc and also go to perform on concerts but i did not produce any results!
There is a time i went on stage to do my famous song 'Vuka Boda" and i felt so dry in the Spirit.
Today's portion of scripture delivered me from that bondage of not producing results.
The bible says that ;
1. Confess
2. Pray
that you may be healed and restored.
You don't just pray for the person you offended before you confess your faults to them.
You are asking a miss!!!
As members of the body of Christ, this is the right way to live.
If we really are his disciples, Jesus says that we should love one another.
Have a lovely day!
