TOPIC: KILLERS OF FAITH
Memory Verse: Math. 6:14-15.
14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Bible Reading: Gen. 59:15-21.
15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and may actually repay us for all the evil which we did to him.” 16 So they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, “Before your father died he commanded, saying, 17 ‘Thus you shall say to Joseph: “I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin; for they did evil to you.” ’ Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 18 Then his brothers also went and fell down before his face, and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.” 19 Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? 20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. 21 Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.” And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.
4. UNFORGIVENESS.
Faith can’t be productive with Unforgiveness in place. Unforgiveness is like carrying a load belonging to others while dragging yours along. When you have refuse to forgive Ten (10) people, you are carrying extra ten burdens on yourself, how can you move with faith? Hear this, Faith needs full concentration on God. Distraction is not a virtue of faith. When you refuse to forgive others of their sins, your sins keep piling up also.
Joseph was able to become whom he became because he let go of Unforgiveness. He forgave before request was even made. He was free to move and run the race ahead of him without the loads of unforgiveness. When his brothers came asking for forgiveness, he simply told them, ” i have forgiven you for a long time.”
Free yourself from the cage of unforgiveness, is it your spouse, that rapist, your parent, relatives who rejected you in time of challenging? Your colleagues, is it about heart broken? You need to forgive in order to move faster in the race of faith. You can’t come this far in the journey of faith and still miss out on the reality of it. Let go and let God. Defeat the spirit of unforgiveness. Make the call and forgive. Release yourself from self inflicted cage of unforgiveness, that may be what’s killing your faith. Take a bold step and forgive. It doesn’t matter the prove of the offence, the damage it cause or the losses of life it involves, please, forgive and let go for you to move on in life.
I pray with you today, may the power of unforgiveness loose from your life in Jesus Mighty Name. Receive the grace to let go of all the hurt in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Have a Great Day.
