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.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...
