BE WILLING TO FORGIVE YOUR DEBTORS

 

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.

TOPIC: BE WILLING TO FORGIVE YOUR DEBTORS

MAY Sunday 30th

TEXT: Matthew18: 28-35

Key verse: Matthew 18: 35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

The creditor forgave the servant a huge debt when he pleaded with him for mercy but surprisingly the same servant that had just received mercy refused to pardon a fellow servant that owed him little. This can be likened to the great mercy that believers receive from God at salvation where all sins and trespasses are pardoned. Instead of paying the death penalty, God forgives the penitent sinner for Christ’s sake.

God led this creditor to consider that the servant may never be able to pay his debts all his lifetime. Consider that you have lived your life peacefully, successfully all this while that the servant had owed you. The very labour of the thoughts over these years that someone owes a huge amount, is it not a great burden in itself? If you forgive that debtor, will you not live? Will, it is not even better for you? The pressure that someone owes you will end and you will also give the debtor peace so that he will not be jittery anytime he sees you.

Since you know that truly the man does not have the means to pay back to you, why don’t you forgive him and write off the debts. Learn how to forgive people what they owe you when you know that truly they do not have to pay you. In fact, God commanded the Israelites to forgive their brethren of all debts after every 7 years. Indeed some financial institutions and organizations after several futile efforts to recover debts do write them off as bad debts. As a believer, call the debtor and in love, frankly forgive him as God gives you the grace to do so.

There are people that are afraid that as long as they are indebted to someone or to an institution they will miss Rapture or go to hell. Convince them that you are not a wicked person. That is the righteousness required for heaven. If Rapture takes place and you have not yet paid but are in peace with your creditor, it will not hinder you from going to heaven.

Thought for the day: Frankly forgive debtors as God gives you the grace to do so.

Song for the day: Jesus loves me, He died for me, Nobody loves me like Jesus

Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 28-29; John 11:47-57

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
