WHEREVER YOU FIND FORGIVENESS THERE IS LOVE AND PEACE.

CHRIST DEARLY BELOVEDS:

FORGIVENESS IS THE SYMBOL OF CHRISTIANITY. WHEREVER YOU FIND FORGIVENESS THERE IS LOVE AND PEACE.
THROUGH HIS ADVOCACY, WE WERE ACQUITTED OF ALL CHARGES RELATED TO OUR SINS AND INIQUITIES. WE ARE ALSO GIVEN THE GRACE TO RETURN TO THE PRESENCE OF GOD, THE POSITION THAT WE LOST IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. WE ARE BEING MANDATED TO ALSO FORGIVE OTHERS WHEN VIOLATED. (MATTHEW, 6:-14-15)
IF NOT FOR THE GRACE OF HIS FORGIVENESS, WE ARE NOT WORTHY TO BE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD. (ROMANS, 3:-23)

WE ARE SO QUICK IN ASKING GOD FOR HIS FORGIVENESS BUT VERY RELUCTANT IN FORGIVING OTHERS. THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST TRANSFORMED HIS FOLLOWERS FROM SEEKING VENGEANCE TO TOTAL FORGIVENESS. BUT SOME ARE STILL HANGING ONTO THE OLD LAW OF, “AN EYE FOR AN EYE.” WE HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMED FROM PSALM 35 TO MATTHEW, 5:-44, AND ROMANS, 12:-19 RESPECTIVELY.
LET US REMEMBER THAT, EVERY BREATH IS A GIFT OF LIFE THAT WE MUST NOT BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED. YOUR SOUL MAY BE CALLED AT ANYTIME. THEN IT MAY BE TOO LATE TO RE-ADJUST.
MAKE PEACE WITH GOD AND BE AT PEACE WITH OTHERS. (1 PETER, 3:-11)
LET US LEARN FROM THE “PARABLE OF THE UNFORGIVING SERVANT.” (MATTHEW, 18:-21-35)
IN CONCLUSION: AS LONG AS WE ARE BEING CALLED BY HIS HOLY NAME, WE ARE NEW CREATURES THAT MUST FORGIVE REGARDLESS OF OUR STATE OF MIND. TO FORGIVE IS NOT A MATTER OF CHOICE, BUT AN IMPORTANT ASPECT IN OUR COURSE OF DISCIPLESHIP IN CHRIST JESUS.
PLEASE JOIN US IN PRAYER FOR OUR PERSECUTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST ALL OVER THE WORLD, PARTICULARLY THOSE IN NIGERIA WHOSE MUSLIM LEADERS HAVE PERFECTED THE PLAN TO EXTERMINATE BY ALL POSSIBLE MEANS, IN ADDITION TO OUR ONGOING PRAYERS FOR UNITY AMONG CHRIST-FOLLOWERS REGARDLESS OF DENOMINATION. PRAYER FOR PEACE IN JERUSALEM AND VICTORY FOR THE JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL. (GALATIANS, 3:-29) ALONGSIDE PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO ARE GOING THROUGH SOME HARDSHIP AT THIS TIME.
MAY THE LORD SEND HELP FROM HIS HOLY SANCTUARY, AND COMFORT THE DISTRESSED. AMEN.
