READ: Mark 11:25-26
25 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.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 25-27
MESSAGE
Unforgiveness is the refusal to forgive an offender. Some people think that by refusing to forgive, they are punishing their offender, whereas, they are actually punishing themselves. God has commanded us in Romans 12:18 to live at peace with everyone, and whoever refuses to keep His law is a rebel. Note that rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, as written in 1 Samuel 15:23.
As a child of God, people will surely offend you, but as often as they do, be ready to forgive them. The Lord says in Matthew 18:21-22 that even when someone offends you four hundred and ninety times, you must keep on forgiving them. If you keep praising God, anytime the devil hits you, he will leave you; the same goes for forgiving someone who offends you. He will not stay long. My child, unforgiveness will hinder your prayers to God. He will not also erase your sins until you forgive those who offend you, according to the memory verse.
ACTION POINT:
Release everyone you have imprisoned inside your heart and forgive them of all their wrongs.
HYMN 7 – Just As I Am, Without One Plea
- Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come. - Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come. - Just as I am though tossed about,
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fighting’s and fears within, without,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come. - Just as I am poor, wretched, blind,
Sight, riches, healing of the mind
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come. - Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because Thy promise I believe
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come. - Just as I am Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea Thine alone,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come. - Just as I am, of that free love
The breadth, length, depth and
height to prove,
Here for a season, then above,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
