_*Exhortation Pills: Drop Every Weight, Pt. 2*_ _✍️ By Rev. Stephen Dadedzi_ _🗓️ Day 139 (19/May/2025)_ > ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Hebrews 12:1 NKJV Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. A runner in a marathon does not carry extra baggage—every ounce matters. Likewise, in our spiritual race, certain attitudes and habits can weigh us down and make us ineffective. Yesterday, we examined the weight of excessive phone use and indiscipline. Today, we continue with two more: *3. The Weight of Offense and Unforgiveness:* Many are stuck spiritually, not because they don’t pray or fast, but because their hearts are filled with bitterness. Offense is a silent killer—it poisons your spirit and blocks the flow of God’s grace. Jesus taught us to forgive endlessly (Matthew 18:21-22). Until you drop the offense, you cannot rise spiritually. *4. The Weight of Procrastination:* Spiritual procrastination sounds like this: “I will pray tomorrow,” “I will fast next week,” or “I will start reading my Bible soon.” These delays slowly kill your spiritual fire. The longer you postpone obedience, the colder your spirit becomes. God moves with those who act promptly (Ecclesiastes 11:4). _🙏 Prayer:_ Lord, I release every hurt and offense from my heart. Help me to walk in forgiveness and to obey You promptly without delay. Strengthen me to run this race without excuses. In Jesus’ name, Amen. _✝️ Are You Saved?_ Enjoy God's gift of eternal life by accepting Jesus Christ into your heart today. Believe that God raised Him from the dead and confess Him as your Lord and Savior (John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10). _👉 Connect and explore more:_ https://linktr.ee/stephendadedzi _☕ Want to show some love?
