THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past. God is starting a brand-new thing with you. He is giving you new experiences of success and breakthrough. You need to lea...

FORGIVING TO BE FORGIVEN

FORGIVING TO BE FORGIVEN

Mark 11:19-26
Devotional Verse:-"And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses” (Vs. 25)

 


    It is wrong for any child of God to pray and not to receive answer. This is because God has covenanted to answer our prayers in His word. Though God is sovereign, He is a covenant keeping God (Exodus 34:6-7, Psalms 89:34). So, we must totally depend on His faithfulness. 
 
    In today’s Scripture, Jesus teaches us how to pray and receive answers to our prayers. This is a prayer of faith that does not doubt the faithfulness of God. We must learn to put our experiences aside and always believe God afresh in each time we pray.
 
    Jesus taught us to believe that when we pray, we should believe that our answers have come (Mark 11:24). He also taught us to forgive people who offends us if we want God to forgive us (Matthew 6:15). The reason is that, sin is always a major hindrance to prayers (Isa. 59:1-2). God loves us but He cannot put up with sin. So, if anyone offends you, forgive him so that your prayers will not be hindered. That is when you can come boldly to His throne of grace, making your requests known to Him (Heb. 4:16). As you forgive, you will be forgiven. Your prayers will no longer be hindered and the answers to them will no longer linger in Jesus name. 
Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me a forgiving heart. 

“FORGIVENESS IS THE KEY TO BEING FORGIVEN”.
