FORGIVENESS

JUNE 20TH – CAPSULE 20 

TOPIC: FORGIVENESS  

BIBLE TEXT: MARK 11 VS 26 – But if ye do not forgive, neither will your father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. 


Living a life of unforgiveness is the same as living in bondage. This falls under self affliction where an innocent individual ignorantly afflicts him or herself because of the hardness of his/her heart. Mankind does not have the right to say “I can’t forgive you”, because we are all living under the mercy and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, who died on the cross of Calvary. Without his death, the whole earth would have been consumed by the wrath of God. Through Christ came grace and now God shows us mercy every blessed day, through his forgiveness we are able to live and walk here on earth.

The book of Mark 11 reveals another dimension of God’s revelation concerning forgiveness. The Lord says that if any man fails to forgive, God himself will withdraw every privilege, that the individual once had with his mercy, this can expose you to arrows and attacks. Beloved, don’t nurse bitterness, offences and hatred towards another, because it is a scheme of the devil to hinder your access to the throne of grace and to make you sin against God’s will and defy principles. 

The devil knows that our Heavenly Father, is a principled God and His word has told us this fact that God honours his word than His name. God's word is ever potent (powerful). So the devil tries to prevent us from knowing it, from living by it, and from the glory of God, by poisoning the hearts of men with dirty foul spirits, familiar spirits and deep anger and bitterness. You can can be free of all his schemes when you learn true forgiveness.


Prayer: O Lord, take away all forms of sadness, sorrow, bitterness and hatred out of my heart, help me to forgive and forget.

Insight: Do not he ignorant of the devices of the devil, learn to forgive always in Christ.

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...
