TOPIC: Unforgiveness.
MEMORY VERSE: Luke 6:37
[37]Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
FOCUS: Ephesians 4:31
[31]Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Many people ruin their spiritual life and health by taking the poison of bitterness, unforgiveness and resentment.
If we refuse to forgive people, we get handed over to the torturers that will make the supernatural living a rigmarole, it is mind torture to have hateful thoughts towards another person rolling around inside your head.
Forgiveness makes you relate with God freely and if there is anything we should cherish, it must be our fellowship with God, we must ensure that it is not tampered with in any way, unforgiveness breaks fellowship because our attention gets divided and God wants the whole of us and not a part of us.
Forgiveness also keeps Satan from having an advantage over us. Once we pass the test of forgiveness, the supernatural will naturally become the order of the day.
Remember that the devil must have a foothold or opportunity before he can get a stronghold, so do not allow Satan to deprive you of experiencing the supernatural.
Be quick to forgive!
LESSON: Colossians 3:13
[13] Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man has a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Many people have asked for the procedure for forgiveness and I would like to address that today.
How do you truly forgive?
- Decide: You will never forgive if you wait until you feel like it, it must be a decision you make and not waiting for the desire which most times would never come.
- Depend: You cannot forgive without depending on the power of the Holy Spirit. Forgiveness is something that your flesh will not support and if you are truly willing, you will need the help of God to let go of the hurt.
- Obey: Forgiveness is a commandment that must be obeyed, it does not matter the offence or the offender.
- Pray: Pray for your enemies because that’s what the Bible admonishes us to do, pray for those who misunderstand you and this has nothing to do with whether they are aware of their shortcomings or not, just pray for them.
Living in the supernatural can be very easy if we live in love and operate by faith.
A life of Joy is a life without grudges.
PERSONAL CONFESSION: I refuse to dwell on offences.
PERSONAL PRAYER: Father, I receive Grace to let go of offences in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Forgiveness does not change the past but it does enlarge the future.
NOTE: The biggest weight you can carry is a grudge.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
naturally like your web-site however you have to test the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very bothersome to tell the reality on the other hand I will certainly come again again.
