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.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

Breakfast with Jesus

DATE 24th June, 2023 TOPIC Breakfast with Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 65:4 KJV Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. The Psalmist was a peculiar man and one that feared the LORD and walked in the paths of righteousness. In his meditation and Psalms, he learnt to dine with Jesus Christ early and through Psalms, from the 63rd to the 66th, he found a way to breakfast with Jesus. The first contact we should have everyday is Jesus Christ, to receive of His glorious satisfaction early, contentment and to be filled with the goodness and mercy He gives His children daily. When a child eats with his parents there's that joy and peace within, such comfort and full assurance. Jesus Christ always ate with our Heavenly Father while He was here on earth, He sought after the LORD daily and was satisfied with the glory and goodness of the Father. Each...

Forgiveness of Sins

DATE - April 7th, 2022 TOPIC - Forgiveness of Sins BIBLE TEXT - Acts 5:31 AMP God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. Apostle Peter stood tall before the council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) to speak with boldness about a God who Saves and sets free any sinner from the power of sin. As a man who has been shown mercy though a man once filled with sinful ways, the Holy Spirit quickened him through his personal testimony of experiencing true forgiveness of sins before the Jewish High Court. Peter was a local fisherman with no knowledge of the gospel truth, who lived as he pleased. Until he encountered Jesus when Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee and he spotted Simon Peter who was in his boat struggling to catch a few fishes for days. Like many out there today who are living in sin and still struggling to make ends meet, Jesus is passing through that street, area...
