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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
