The Holy Spirit challenged me to change my prayer stand this morning in my intimate time with Him and do something different and life changing. In Proverbs:16.2 it reads We are all in love with our own opinions,convinced they’re correct. But the Lord is in the midst of us, testing and probing our every motive.

The Lord wants us to know the motive, intent and basis for which our hearts respond to any given situation in life. This is because our heart response will determine our eventual outcome whether good or bad in life. Hence the admonition in Proverbs.4:23 Above everything else, guard your heart;for it is the source of life’s consequences.

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me when I asked Him how do I stop loving my own opinion as I surrender to Him everyday and give Him all my heart and my soul and my body to do His will daily. He said to pray asking Him to enable me to hate my opinions rather than love them. Change my perception to line up with hatred for what I think and love and acceptance for only thus saith the Lord.

Now as I heard that my discerning heart kicked in,and I needed to test that voice, and the Holy Spirit was gracious to explain to me through scripture the reality of that truth from Jesus Himself so I could be comfortable and know that a lie was not being sneaked into my life.

Firstly He pointed out to me Hebrews:1.9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”

Jesus expressed both love and hatred and I came to understand that if He Jesus had tolerated lawlessness God would not have given Him the anointing more than His companions. A Limitless Anointing. Jesus had to express hate of lawlessness to defeat it in love with an anointing that could not be stopped. In Revelation:2.6 it says this: But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

Now Jesus is here revealing that He approves of His people expressing hatred to certain evil deeds which He also hated.

Well to hate my own opinions is a good thing particularly because God Himself pointed out that the heart of man is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things and who can know it. Jeremiah:17.9. My opinions are birthed from my heart and the experiences of life I have had and my readings of them.

Jesus also points out in John:5.30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

This makes it perfectly clear that even Jesus the Word Himself in a human body did not trust His own opinion but relied on His Father to guide and direct Him on what to say and do.

Well I embraced that prayer point as I don’t trust my opinions over God’s so I choose to hate my own opinions and love yielding to God’s Own and run swiftly after what God says and wants and do them quickly.

As Mary told the servants at the wedding feast in Canaan in John.2: Whatever He tells you to do just do it even if it makes no sense. The result of that was a miracle they became a part of that was credited to them.

So today, I urge you to begin to hate your own opinions on things and situations, because they are mostly sourced from satan anyway as he influences us through deceit which our heart loves. What we hate we will not do but will fight against it.

We must fight against our opinions by hating them and loving God’s opinions and thoughts conveyed through His voice to us more by obeying them and doing what they say we should do. You will certainly see the difference in everything you do and say in Jesus Name as you commit to heeding and obeying God’s words.

Take hold of this truth and let the grace supplied in them empower you to take the action that promotes the kingdom expansion in Jesus Name and establish you in the path of triumph in everything miraculous in life in Jesus name. Amen.
