 That is Karura Voices. Pitsun kuna viletu a mefajani kapenda Karura Voices. And you see them rising, you know what. I got a chance to hang out with them. And I should say this. There is a sound rising from Kenya. You guys are not ready. You are not ready for what God is doing in Kenya. Prepare yourself. Anyway, it's time for Inspirational Vibes. Inspirational Vibes. I'm not ready for what God is doing. I'm not ready for what God is doing. Because there are three kinds of offensives. Any human being on this realm. That you're going to face, alright. But let us look at our reading. Which we'll majorly focus on. Matwi chapter 11 verse 6. Let us focus on verse 6. But I will encourage you to read from verse 1. All the way to 6. So that you can get what exactly we are talking about. 6 na sema. And blessed is he who is not offended because of me. Blessed and blessed is he who is not offended because of me. This is Jesus just giving an answer to John the Baptist. But at this point John the Baptist was in prison. All right. John the Baptist was in prison. Are you the one or should we wait for another? And this was a response Jesus was sending to John the Baptist through his disciple. Offense. Offense. There are three kinds of offence. Even Jesus tells us we should not be offended because of him. We'll get to that. But today I want us to look at offence number one. Write it down. Praise Jesus. I hope maybe they burn out book. Offence number one is you will be offended by yourself. You will offend yourself. We've been discussing this from the top of the earth, from the beginning of the show that you'll be offended by yourself. We'll do something that you're going to feel so you regret about it. You regret about it. But anyway, you know what? Let us look at what is the meaning of offence. Being annoyed. Being annoyed. Being insulted. Resentment. Feeling that karezentment. Offence is just being defined as being upset, being hurt, being annoyed. So that is offence. You'll be offended by yourself. Something that you can do that will hurt yourself. You're going to hurt yourself. You're going to offend yourself. You're going to commit even a sin that you regret doing it. You're like where was the wisdom of God when I was doing this? I did not apply the wisdom of God in this. Making a decision of entering a bad business deal that you're going to regret about it. You're like you lose money because you've done that business. You've entered that business deal. You regret about it. You deeply regret it. Or you even commit una fanya dambiflani. You're like aye. You come back to your senses like aye nimi nimi nili fanya. You're queli. You even go back to God and repent as for forgiveness. Go forgives you but wewe hujaji samaya. But you may hold two months later. Munga talif sahahu wo you may hold. I'm like aye una mkahu. You're like nimi nimi queli. Is it me who has done this thing? You're deeply, deeply offended by yourself. You can't go past that mistake and you know God is above our mistakes. If he has forgiven you, who are you not to forgive yourself? So you can't go past this mistake. Umbadu umeshikiliya. You know, you're still holding onto it. And because of these mistakes, you can't go past it. You keep on reminding yourself. Of this mistake that you've done. You're offending yourself. But I'm here to liberate you because offence grows into bitterness and bitterness defiles everything. Bitterness is just the root of defilement. You defile yourself and in that defilement you've opened a door for the enemy to come into your life and bring all manner of oppression. The door is open. The devil comes in with other things. Anakujana with greed. He comes with pride. He comes with now all manner of sins and other devils because you've opened that door through defiling yourself in bitterness. But because God is above your mistakes, God has forgiven you. I'm here to encourage yourself that forgive yourself because have you not read in 1 John 1.9 that if we ask for forgiveness from our heavenly Father, He is faithful enough to forgive you. He will go deep deep into that root in which you have you holding that offence, deep root of that offence and He forgives you and He uproots that. Meaning you have not allowed God fully to come into your life so that He can forgive you. You just repent it to Kwaubamsama. You think it is forgiven. But inside yourself, check yourself. Have you fully allowed God inside you to come now and forgive you. Because offence uta ikosa kuji offend, but do not allow it to have a root into your life. To an extent it grows into bitterness. To an extent it becomes a guilt in your life. To an extent it grows into a defilement. A kuna kitu kama baya kama defilement. You know, you need opportunity umu patiya shetani akuji tukama isha yako. Defilement is the worst kind of thing. But I'm here to encourage you in Romans 8.1 and 1 John 1.9 go and read that because God has already forgiven you. Please forgive yourself. I'm here to change your mind that God is bigger than your mistakes. He has forgiven you. Please, please forgive yourself. You repent but you still live in regret. Forgive yourself and let go. Offence number one. You offend yourself. Offence by yourself. We will look at the other offence the next Sunday and the following because we are three. Today we have tackled the first one and I hope that will now liberate you from that chain of which you've been holding against yourself. All right, nikama niksama bari kwa san. Anyway, because you've come to the end of our inspiration vibe. Yes, niksama. Have you learned something? Yes, and nikama, even if it's a series, a movie, whatever I'm consuming and praying that by the end of the series, it's going to match and share. Yes, on what God has spoken to me. Like someone would make a mistake. I made a bad business deal. Yeah. And then I said to Beashara. I said to Beashara in a field. I was like, I'm going to do business. I said to Beashara, I'm going to do business. I said, never will I ever do another business deal. Or someone gets into a bad relationship. You get into a bad relationship, maybe it's abusive or whatever it was or the guy just does funny things and you're like, never ever will I date again. It's like you've opened a door for the oppression of the enemy to come in and now ensure that you will never date again. It's like you're making a vow and you know the enemy hears and you will ensure that vow comes to pass. Make mistakes. Me, I make mistakes all the time, but I do not want it. People are being afraid of making mistakes and okay, when it happens, I think the worst thing is holding on to that fear that now if I try it again, if I go outside this limitation, the place where you have been limited, you will not move on, explore more and trust in God more. So what I fear is that the enemy will not take that advantage when you blame on the mistakes that have happened. So I think the good thing is trust God for the next phase. If you have forgotten everything, please remember this. Offence brings stagnation in your life. Hallelujah.
