REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN.

MARCH 8TH TUESDAY


 LIVING A LIFE OF DAILY FORGIVENESS


TEXT: Matthew 18: 25 - 35

Key verse: Mark 11: 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."

Jesus' teaching on forgiveness is that those who have obtained forgiveness from God should also offer forgiveness to men. You require forgiveness from the men you offended and the men that offended you require your forgiveness also. Ask for forgiveness from men and be ready to forgive also. Obtain forgiveness from both God and men. Learn to forgive people their offences against you.

If you claim forgiveness from God and cannot give man the same, your forgiveness from God stands cancelled because God's forgiveness is conditional. The master of that servant in our text forgave him much but he could not forgive his fellow servantless. He was punished for his refusal to forgive. To have our sins removed and enjoy freedom, we are instructed to do the following:

•           Ask God to forgive you and others too; Matthew 6: 12, 14, 15

•           Show your gratitude for God's forgiveness to us through Christ Jesus; Ephesians 4: 32 “And be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.” Colossians 3: 13 "Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye."

•           Forgive so as to be forgiven by your fellow men; Mark 11: 25–26 "And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Forgive so that your prayers can be answered. When somebody asks you to forgive him, forgive him from your heart. Learn to forgive and be forgiven.

•          Forgiveness is a demonstration of love to the offended; (Luke 7: 44 – 47)

•          Rebuke your offending brother and forgive him if he repents; (Luke 17:3-4)

•          Remind your brother of his sins against you and forgive him; (Matthew 18: 15 – 17) Go and discuss with your brother. Tell him his fault and forgive him if he repents.

•          Diligently examine the matter before you conclude on it; (Deuteronomy 19:15).

Thought for today: Your forgiveness depends on forgiveness

Song for the day: Create in me a clean heart, Oh LORD

Deuteronomy 5-7; Mark 12:1-27

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
