HE GIVES STRENGTH

HE GIVES STRENGTH Isaiah 40:21-31 Devotional:- “He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength” (v.29) NKJV      It often looks intimidating to suddenly discover that you are not as strong as you used to be. This is a state in which you can’t just locate your strength. One thing or the other has sapped them. Such cases might make some people afraid; those things of which they have boasted seem not to be there again. Others may think that at this time, the enemy might come to take advantage of them.

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"
