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.

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

Inside Jesus

DATE 28th June, 2023 TOPIC Inside Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE John 15:4 KJV Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. Inside Jesus Christ the Lamb of God is where we must dwell. Just like a baby is carried in the womb of her mother for months, so must all God's children follow. The anchor scripture reveals that we must abide inside the cleft or riven side of Jesus Christ just as He also dwells inside us. No child of God or minister should ever think that he or she is sufficient or has attained a certain height in Christ Jesus to stand alone or even abide by themselves.  Our productivity of bearing fruits in this world either by evangelism, good deeds, love or any action can only be possible when we are intimate with Christ as He is with us. Without Christ Jesus inside us we cannot or it is impossible to grow spiritually and physically. Inside Christ Jesus contains all life's resources and...

NOW

Date 📅 18th October, 2022 Topic NOW Living Scripture Hebrews 11:1,7 KJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [7] By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Now we begin to walk in the ways of faith and truth as our fathers in faith and mighty men of old and just as they witnessed the glory of God first hand so shall we if we act now. The perfect example is Noah and the ark, a man of grace and wisdom. The world was stained with disobedience, sinful ways and thick immoralities. And God decided to wipe the inhabitants of the earth with a great flood such as have never been before and even after. The heavens where ready to open the flood gates and the earth to let out her waters. When God spoke to Noah, he acted immediately and finished the ark on time and he eva...
