Finding Strength in Faith: Navigating Division and Divorce with Tosha
But I just wanted to encourage each and every one of us Today that are also, as well as me and others, being fought by divorce and division to do what you need to do and stop and ask god and wait on god and make your positive list and don't do things on our own in haste and have a big payment later to have to pay by having suffered a great loss.
In this thought-provoking episode of 'Teaching With Tosha', host Tosha McCraney tackles the delicate subjects of division and divorce. She emphasizes the importance of seeking God's guidance before making any permanent decisions. Tosha opens by defining division as the act of separating something into parts, often leading to tension and hostility. She warns that the enemy can exploit our desire to separate from good people and places, pushing us toward hasty decisions driven by negative thoughts.
Drawing from the story of Saul and David in the Book of Samuel, Tosha illustrates the consequences of acting on our own versus waiting for God's direction. Saul, who chose his own path, lost everything, while David, who waited on God's will, was blessed. This biblical lesson underscores the importance of patience and seeking divine counsel before making life-altering choices. Tosha also highlights the significance of positive thinking and wise counsel.
She advises listeners to fight negativity by focusing on the good aspects of their lives and making a conscious effort to think, write, and speak positively. By doing so, we can counteract the enemy's attacks and make more informed decisions. Before deciding to divorce or divide from a church, person, or job, Tosha urges us to seek godly counsel and wait for God's will to unfold.
She reminds us that our purpose can be jeopardized without proper guidance and that hasty decisions can lead to significant losses. The episode concludes with a powerful reminder to resist the urge to act impulsively. By stopping to ask for God's guidance, making a positive list, and avoiding hasty decisions, we can protect our future blessings.
Tosha's message is clear: when the enemy attacks a relationship, it may be because that relationship holds great potential for our future and God's kingdom. This episode offers valuable insights on how to navigate the challenges of division and divorce with faith and wisdom. By waiting on God's will and seeking wise counsel, we can make positive choices that align with our purpose and lead to lasting blessings.
