FORGIVENESS IS KEY TO LIFE

FEBRUARY 27th 2018

Today’s Scriptures: “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ forgave you. “Ephesians 4: 31-32

Has anyone ever injured your feelings badly or bruised your ego? Have you also hurt anyone for whom you are yet to be forgiven? Do you currently hold yourself accountable for a lapse? Don’t worry about these situations. First forgive others; next seek for forgiveness; finally, forgive yourself. Resentment and anger bottled up in the heart injures the spirit and destroys the body. Anger dries up the blood while resentment eats up the cells of the body. Your inability to forgive renders your offering unacceptable to God and also deprives you of God’s grace.

Just as Jesus healed the sick by first forgiving them, so also you must forgive others in order to receive healing – Healing for your body, business, job etc. Forgiveness is a gradual process. Therefore, anytime you feel resentment or anger rising up in you due to unforgiveness, arise and rebuke the devil and renounce the spirit of unforgiveness. God opens the doors to healing each time you actually forgives anyone, including yourself.

Prayer

Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke the spirit of unforgiveness in my life today. I reclaim my faith to win the Grace of Jesus Christ and I am healed right now by His blood and righteousness. Amen.
