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...

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...
