SCRIPTURE: 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. Mark 11:25

Unforgiveness refers to the lack of forgiveness; it is the inability of a person to let go of offences and offenders from his/her heart. It is very important to forgive because unforgiveness has many dangers.

Now, what are some of the dangers of unforgiveness?

1. Unforgiveness prevents people from receiving from God

The truth is, if you feel someone’s offence against you is too grievous for you to forgive, your sins as well would be too grievous for God to forgive (Matthew 18:32-35).

2. Prayer becomes a waste of time where unforgiveness is in place

Without forgiveness, prayer becomes a waste of time and an exercise in futility (Matthew 18:35).

3. Unforgiveness attracts the ministry of tormentors

If you don’t forgive, you have signed in to the activities of tormentors in your life. Cancer is a tormentor, ulcer, paralysis, arthritis, poverty, witchcraft attacks, etc. are all tormentors (Matthew 18:32-35). But that shall not be your portion in Jesus’ Name.

4. Unforgiveness invites troubles to life.

The root of bitterness (unforgiveness) makes life bitter

5. Unforgiveness leads people to eternal damnation in hell fire (1 John 3:14-15).

Unforgiveness is the pathway to eternity in hellfire. Therefore, refuse to go to hell because of being hurt by a person.

Now, what are the keys to forgiveness?

1. Remember that you have been forgiven by God of your sins

Always know that if God could forgive you, you too can forgive another person.

2. Remember that your eternity is at stake

To agree to be unforgiving is to sign in for hellfire.

Beloved, I prophesy the grace and the spirit of forgiveness upon you, in Jesus’ Name.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Make up your mind not to go to hell because of offence or hurt.

2. Ask God daily for the grace to forgive.

3. Pray for and reconcile with all offenders.

PRAYER: Lord, I make demands on your grace to be able to forgive offences and offenders. Help me not to be an agent of offence to people Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

When we carry bitterness and unforgiveness, we carry again what was nailed on the cross with Jesus Christ. We take on the nature of satan and God is forced to look away from us.

PR0PETIC DECLARATION

Today, I release upon your life the grace to overcome bitterness and  forgive all offences in the Name of Jesus. May the nature of Christ be released upon your life to bear fruit that will abide in Jesus’ Name. Shalom!

Ladies,  please cover up properly, you don’t know who is looking from afar.

We usually pray, 

Our Father who art in Heaven…..

Hallowed be thy name…..

“Lead us not into temptation “….

I think we should pray to God and be careful not to lead others into temptation also. If temptation is not good for us, we should not lead others into it .

Some people blamed Bathsheba,  some blamed David,  why didn’t he go to war?

But come to think of it, 

What about Uriah?

Yes Uriah, why would he bring his wife to an apartment whose bathroom has no roof?

Some Uriahs are parents,   you will wonder whether some parents didn’t see their children before leaving home.  Some friends are the ones who talk them into buying those clothes that leave their bodies uncovered.

If you fall into the category of Uriah, Watch it!

Be responsible; Put a roof on your bathroom!

So your Bathsheba can have a harmless bath.

Parents….. Don’t allow the world teach your children how to dress up….don’t leave your bathroom uncovered! ‘

You are a Christian and a model of Christ. Your body is d temple of the Holy Spirit. You have been bought with a price.

Husbands! Please put your wives under check.  We know she is your wife; she can wear anything because you like it that way….. But don’t raise eye brow if she is treated like a prostitute…..

 Under Uriah’s nose, Bathsheba got pregnant with another man’s child.

Keep a roof over your bathroom.  You have no idea if there is a man who is not at war or work strolling lazily around.

Just because a woman’s sensitive parts was revealed to David, he lost control of his life & things never remained d same.

One would have thought Bathsheba’s bath was a harmless one  but look at the consequence :-

==>>> David  killed Uriah.

==>>> He was cursed.

==>>> Bathsheba lost her baby.

==>>> Amnon slept with Tamar.

==>>> Absalom overthrew David and slept with his father’s wife’s.

==>>> War in David’s house!

Please, stop tempting others in the name of fashion!

Stop showing everybody your breast and cleavage.

Stop wearing expensive rags in the name of fashion.

 Some men are running away from Bathsheba yet they have her pictures, wearing bikini on their phones”

Brothers, what do you have on your phones? Pictures of naked women? You call them celebrities; I pray they don’t celebrate u to hell.

Stop watching pornographic movies. It is addictive.

Some people are dealing with masturbation, they are sincerely trying to come out of it, some are walking away from fornication,  don’t drag them back there.

Dear sister be your brother’s Keeper.

Dear brother, cover the bathroom roof!

Resist the devil and he will flee!!!

DARE TO BE different.

Isaiah 33:14-16.

14.The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

15.He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes,  that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

16.He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

In this scripture, Isaiah describes those who  will escape God’s wrath. They will only be those who live godly lives that flow from hearts that are right with God. These are those who

1.conform to the righteous requirements of God’s law.

2.speak sincerely without deceit.

3.do not make money by fraudulent means.

4.refuse to be involved in criminal violence and

5.refuse to look at evil with pleasure or to delight in the wicked actions of others.

Ps 1:5 says the wicked will not stand in the judgment but rather perish, neither will any sinner be able to stand in the congregation of the righteous for their end is destruction if they fail to repent. Every ungodly person will be condemned before God on the day of judgment. We are also told  in Ps 24:4 that  only the pure in heart will see God and be with Him eternally.

The only way of escaping God’s wrath is the new birth in Christ Jesus who gave His life so we may have life. This great sacrifice and love must not be taken for granted.

Maranatha.

TEXT JOHN 9:24 41

KEY VERSE – The answered and said, whether he be a sinner or not, I know not: one thing I know that whereas I was blind, now I see (John 9: 25) this was the testimony of the man that was born blind, who had lived probably half of this life time in utter darkness as he was blind from this mother womb but on a day like this he had a divine encounter and his life story changed. (I was blind everybody knew me and could testify to this) but now I see. What a clear difference! There was a past that was clearly different from the present. The past was night but the present is day, the past was darkness but the present is light. The man said I have a past well known to you all but now is a new damn.

Everyone has a past. It may be a past in sin and iniquity, a past in outright disobedience and rebellion against God. A past in immorality, vulgarity, wickedness, drunkenness, hatred etc.

But the present must be different from the past. You cannot use religiousness to cover your past, NO! You cannot use churchliness to cover your past NO! Every past that is not forsaken remains part of the present. That is why the Holy Spirit through Apostle Paul says “Therefore if any man be in Christ” (this ‘’any man’’ was outside Christ in the past, this ‘’any man’’ may be religious, may be tolled, may be highly placed in the church or society but outside Christ in the past, this ‘’any man’’ was in the world, in sin and iniquity outside Christ in the past but now in Christ he is new creature; old things (that is) the inward sin nature and power of sin, which is nothing more nor less. The power of the devil working in human nature or in man of disobedience and (iv) the outward sin or transgression of the law (John 8:44, Eph. 2:2; mark 7:19-21; Rom. 1:18-32; 1Corint.6:9-11; 2Corint. 4:4; Gal 5: 19-21; Col 3:5-10; 1John 2: 1517; 3: 8; 5:18) are passed away behold all (not most, not all most, not some) things are become new (2Corinthians 5:17).

When a man outside Christ (though he may profess relation with Christ according to the flesh before but he is unchanged, unregenerate in heart and life, and he is dead in trespassed and sin) gets to a point and turns to Christ (not by becoming churchy or religious or moral but by acknowledging his sins and sinfulness, confess the sins sincerely from the heart and forsake them (Proverb 28: 13), then accepting Christ Jesus into his heart and life as Lord and Saviour. He then becomes a new creature i.e regenerate newly (being born again not of corruptible but of the incorruptible word of God (1Peter 1: 23).

What does it mean to be “a new creature?”

Reading through the lines of 2Corinthians 5: 17 You take note of the semi-column immediately after the phrase “a new creature” it is telling us that the statement that follows is explaining of giving meaning to the previous statement.

So, to become “a new creature” is to have “old things passed away including both the inward and outward sin”. The belief that only outward sins are forgiven and that one is still under the control of the old man, the devil, is not only erroneous but demonic doctrines in Christendom (2Corinthians 5: 17-18; Ephesians 4:24; Romans 6: 6-23; 8:1-13 1John 5: 18). Old things; old ways of life, old friendship (2Corinthians 5: 14-18), Old association, old ways of thinking, old pleasures, surfeiting e.t.c must pass away. Holding on to any old things is compromise and double standard life. You cannot be inside and outside Christ simultaneously. You cannot be one leg in, one leg out. To be in Christ is a total and complete departure from sin and its pleasures it’s a severance or disconnect or abstinence from evil. It is the abolishing of the old things and connecting to the new way of life.

Coming into Christ brings about transformation of life, conversion from evil to good, t6ransfer from darkness into light, a shift from the valley of sin death to the mountain top of righteousness, joy, peace and life in the Holy Ghost.

Yes, a clear difference in life, in thought, in conduct, in association, in relationship, in dressing, in comportment, in conversion, in business, in charity (1Timothy 4:12).

If your coming to Christ has not brought any change into your life, then you need a visit to Calvary. When that man encountered the Lord Jesus his life changed. If your encounter with the Lord Jesus does not bring a meaningful change in your life, then you need to visit Calvary.

If the old things are still presently manifesting in your life and deceiving you that it is your nature. Old things must pass away, and behold all things, not some things, not many things but ALL THINGS (in every facet of life) must become NEW Now Experience Wonders!

Yes, that is the stage, the level you get to when ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW: You become NEW (Now Experience Wonder) yourself in every area of your life.

The man born blind told the Sahendrin. I was (note the tense) blind but (a turning point has come) now I See (John 9:25).

Before I only hear you speak I could not see you but now my level has changed I can see you yes, you that asked me the question I can see that you are bearded, I can see that the man standing by your right is also wearing a heavy beard I can see the man on your left is bald headed I see all of you are wearing sad and sorrowful countenance on your confused face because of my miracle. Yes it is real, very real that I was the one sitting begging for alms all these years, I was the very same man. You said was born blind because I sinned from my mother womb. I am no other person than the one you knew from aged but. My story has changed, my level has changed, my turn around has come now I see, I see, I see with my own two eyes yes now I see.

What a testimony! What a great changed you have been in the church for many years enjoying fellowship, getting tittles and recognitions but you are still living in sin, what a wasted life you are living.

Church cannot changed you, age cannot convert you (No matter how old a man is the wickedness in him still remain in him and you must come into Jesus, you must repent (and not just be remorseful) of your sins you accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior today so that life will make all things become new in your life. Christ will give meaningful meaning to your life if only you give him room in your heart (Rev 21-22).
