The Seed of Forgiveness

The Seed of Forgiveness

LIVING SCRIPTURE
Genesis 45:4 KJV
And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.




The life of Joseph the son of Jacob in the light of forgiveness comes to our hearts this morning. Born into a polygamous family, and the eleventh son was enough excuse for him to feel little, unappreciated and unrecognized in the family. But all these carnal thoughts and ways never affected him, rather he gave himself to diligence, study, wisdom and the fear of God. Joseph had in him the seed of forgiveness, we see this several times in the book of Genesis, when he was despised, hated and envied by his brothers for being a true child of God.

His brothers connived together to kill him but God's mercy made them to sell him to the Ishmaelite slave traders who sold him to Mr Potiphar. He was seduced and betrayed by Mrs Potiphar and sent to prison. In the prison his heart was not heavy or down because of his sufferings but was rather open to notice the heaviness of two other inmate. It takes a soul that has found Jesus Christ from within to truly show care and kindness to another despite the situation or circumstance. Through his kind act the cup bearer was restored and after a while Joseph was established by God over all the people in the land of Egypt and other nations even his brethren, Mrs Potiphar and all that hurt and wrong him.

The anchor scripture reveals how Joseph warmly forgave and embraced his brethren, not imputing their sins nor regarding the hurts. Likewise our Lord Jesus Christ whom we serve forgave and forgives and will still forgive a repentant soul. Jesus Christ is the farmer this morning with the seed of forgiveness, going from heart to heart, mind to mind dropping this virtue into His children. Will you accept to walk in the way of the LORD?



TO-DO
Let go of all bitterness, hatred, anger, malice, discord and disputes, and seek for the seed of forgiveness that grows by the grace and mercy of God.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father I thank you for forgiving my sins, please help me to forgive all in Jesus name.

Lord plant in my heart the seed of forgiveness and teach my mind the ways of forgiveness by your word and spirit in Jesus name.

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

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

Christ is not far!

DATE 22nd June, 2023 TOPIC Christ is not far! LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16-17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus Christ came to save us and that we might be one just as He and the Father in Heaven are one. He is not far from those who believe in Him and His words but still many look to the sky or climb high mountains to find the Lord who sits gloriously in our hearts by His Spirit and Words. His words says that the comforter will dwell (continually live in) you and not just that but He will also be with you. He is within and without us in covering and inspiration. Seek not Jesus that is far but He that is closer to your heart and by your confessions daily. TO-DO Call on Him this morning from your hearts and worship and fellowship in the
