RESTORATION TODAY
SATURDAY 15TH APRIL 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP
THEME: DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR.
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6: 14 & 15.
In life, we all have unfair things that happen to us. We can choose to hold on to the hurt, become bitter and angry, and let it poison our future; or, we can choose to let it go and trust God to make it up to us.
You may not think that you are able to forgive because someone hurt you so badly. You might say, You don't know how I was raised. Or, My husband caused me a lot of pain. This friend betrayed me. I just can't let it go. Realize that forgiveness isn't for their sake; forgiveness is for your own sake. When you forgive, you are taking away their power to hurt you.
But if you hold on to that offense and stay angry, you are only poisoning your own life and disconnecting yourself from God. Forgiveness is like a door on your heart. If you shut the door and refuse to forgive, then God cannot forgive you. But when you open the door and allow forgiveness to flow from you, then His forgiveness can flow into you.
Choose to forgive and open the door to receive God's life, peace and healing today.
ACTION POINT:
When you forgive, you are doing yourself a favour and taking away the power your offenders have to hurt you.
SCRIPTURES:
Matthew 6: 14 15
Jeremiah 29: 11.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, help me to remember everyone I need to forgive today in the name of Jesus.
2. Lord, let Your peace fill my heart as I forgive my offenders in the name of Jesus.
3. Lord, forgive me of all my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
Leviticus 23: 1 22
Psalm 132 & 133
Mark 9: 33 50.
