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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
