There are walls we do not see being built.
Stone by stone, hurt by hurt, disappointment by disappointment, a wall has risen in the heart.
A wall between you and someone.
A wall against the one you consider your enemy.
A wall of silence, distance, bitterness, or distrust.
You thought you were protecting yourself.
But unknowingly, you have also blocked a passage.
The block you have built between you and the person you call your enemy has also blocked God’s blessings.
It blocks what God wants to do in you for you.
The Bible reveals a serious truth:
unresolved conflicts, bitterness, and refusal to forgive can block some of God’s blessings or interventions in our life.
The wall you raise against someone
often becomes a wall before God.
Jesus revealed this truth: relationship with God cannot flow freely through a heart closed to a brother.
In Gospel of Matthew 5:23-24, He says that if you come to God with an offering but a relationship is broken, leave your offering and first reconcile.
God does not despise worship —
but He refuses a locked heart.
Bitterness closes.
Resentment hardens.
Refusal to forgive locks.
And God does not enter through doors we close on purpose.
Thus, this wall does not only block a human relationship.
It can block the peace God wants to place in you,
the healing He wants to work in you,
and the blessings He wants to pour over you.
Perhaps some blessings seem delayed,
prayer feels heavy,
peace is hindered.
And what if God is not far away…
but stopped at a wall?
When God brought down the walls of Jericho, it was not human strength that acted —
but obedience and faith.
It is often the same in the heart: the wall falls when we choose to obey God
rather than the wound.
Tear down this wall.
For every stone of bitterness removed reopens a passage for grace.
And often, when the wall falls in the heart, what God wanted to do in you and for you
flows freely again.
Tear down this wall.
And let God reopen what your heart had closed.
PRAYER:
Lord, I tear down this wall before You.
Reopen in me and for me what my bitterness had blocked.
Amen.
Apostle Dr Jean-Claude SINDAYIGAYA
