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

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...
