LIVING BY FAITH  Romans 1: 8-17 Devotional:- “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."” (v.17) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional LIVING BY FAITH Support Us Romans 1: 8-17 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Most Christians are still very confused about living by faith. The reason is that we always want the easy way out. We see the way of faith as too demanding of us. So many people believe that the way of the law is better. This is a product of the moral and legal backgrounds some had. Some people would rather believe in bondage than believe that we are free. We like to embrace the fact rather than the truth.   There are different kinds of ways people live in this world. God wants you, as a New Testament believer, to live by faith...

UNFORGIVENESS

UNFORGIVENESS

Matthew 18:21-36
Devotional:- “Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?” (V. 33) NKJV

    Sometimes it is painful when we have to forgive someone who has done something hurtful to us. This is because we believe he had done it out of a wicked heart and needs to be repaid with the right coin. That is why some people will even go to the point of physical combat. That is, they want to punish their offenders. Because of unforgiveness, best friends have been separated, many marriages have suffered divorce, and we have despised people who could be of blessing and help to us. If God were dealing with us how we deal with others, we would no longer be alive. If men were God, they would have killed all men.

The story we read today talks about a servant that was forgiven so much by his master but he did not forgive his fellow servant. That is the lifestyle of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). God will not also forgive them (Matt.6 14-15). To overcome unforgiveness there is a need to know that it is a sin and a work of the flesh. And we can’t correct a sinner when we are also sinning. Two wrongs will never make a right. You must put your flesh under the control of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16). To overcome the flesh you must keep silencing or put to death the deeds of the flesh (Colossians 3:5). If you cannot forgive others, you cage yourself and lose your freedom of joy. It could even cause you sickness. This is because it grows bitterness in the heart and bitterness produces tension. You also need to know that if you will not forgive, God will not forgive you of your sins (Matthew 6:14). Then how shall you escape? God has taught me to forgive men even before they offend me. Besides, I have realized that people offend others out of their ignorance. Jesus says, Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing (Luke 23:34). Whatever that person did was done because of his low level of understanding. No matter what anyone or group of people has done to you, release them. Don’t hold them for ransom to ruin your life and destiny; you could be locking up your miracles. But as you release others you also will be released. And you Will experience a great peace in your heart. Your glorious destiny is about to unfold. You won’t miss it.

PRAYER: LORD, RELEASE YOUR GRACE OF FORGIVENESS UPON ME.
