DISTANCING FROM THE SCRIPTURES

DISTANCING FROM THE SCRIPTURES Deuteronomy 8:1-11 Devotional:- “To teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD” (v.3) NIV      The word of God is the bank of our strength in God. The word of God is the strength of God (John 1:1-3; Hebrews 4:12). Through the word, God had done all He had done. God’s word says, without Him, nothing else was created (John 1:3). When a man, therefore, distances himself from the Word of God, such is distancing himself from his source, He will lack the strength of God.

FORGIVING

FORGIVING      

Matt. 6:9-15
Devotional Verse:- "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you” (Vs. 14)

    One of the beautiful natures of the Kingdom of God is to always forgive people. This attitude is given to us by the Spirit of God in us. Jesus demonstrated it on the cross of Calvary. He prayed that God should forgive those crucifying Him (Luke 23:34). As a citizen of the kingdom of God, you should not only pray to forgive but you should also be ready to forgive even before offenses come.
    To forgive is to give people love instead of anger. Naturally, when people offend us, our emotions become negative, intending that we reward the offender with vengeance. But because of the Holy Spirit in us, we are capable of showing love, for God is love. (1 John 4:7-8, Gal. 5:22) Don’t forget that if you sow anger, you will reap bitterness, but if you sow mercy and love, you will reap love (Gal. 6:7).
 
    When you forgive someone you ought to be bitter against, you release God to that person because God is love. By doing that, the Holy Spirit will not give the person rest (Proverbs 25:21-22). This is the lifestyle of the people in God’s Kingdom. An unforgiving attitude brings a man into the cage of bitterness and closes his heaven (Matt. 6:15).  Don’t join them!
 
PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from unforgiving spirit
 
“WHEN YOU FORGIVE, YOU LEAVE VENGEANCE TO GOD"
