THE COST OF AN UNFORGIVING HEART. 

There are many people in this world who cannot forgive. How can one develop that kind of heart towards others? 

By way of offense. 

Forgiveness is one of the more important issues in God's kingdom since it is a display of mercy.

Easy-to-Read Version Matthew 23:23 “It will be bad for you teachers of the law and you Pharisees! You are hypocrites! You give God a tenth of the food you get, even your mint, dill, and cumin. But you don’t obey the really important teachings of the law—being fair, showing mercy, and being faithful. These are the things you should do. And you should also continue to do those other things.

Many individuals enjoy doing other things, such as giving, visiting hospitals, preaching quotations to quotations, and praying all day long, yet they are unable to demonstrate mercy. 

They seek vengeance and are unable to express sincere love because they have been offended. Forgiving a brother, forgiving a son, forgiving a teacher, forgiving a pupil, forgiving anyone has wronged you is a weightier matter.

Easy-to-Read Version Matthew 6:12 Forgive our sins, just as we have forgiven those who did wrong to us.

Have you taken the proper steps to this prayer based on Jesus' teaching? 

Forgive those who offend against you, and your heavenly Father will forgive your wrongdoing. 

Most of the time, when we go to the Lord, we go with bitterness, holding grudges against others, we give offering while holding grudges against others, we stand on the pulpit to speak boldly while holding grudges against others, but Jesus expected us to forgive each other before we even bring our offering.

Matthew 5:23-24

[23]Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 

[24]Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 

Keeping a pure heart before the Lord is one approach to keep your prayers going on before the Lord. 

Mercy, not only sexual morality also defines purity. It is a divine wisdom. To live in harmony with men and with a free heart. 

How many of us are truly capable of forgiving? 

Nonetheless, we recall all of the Bible quotations. JESUS referred to the Pharisees as hypocrites because they do not forgive one another. 

You can go to the charity home and offer best gifts, you can go to schools and pay poor people's school fees but forgive when you get offended and free your heart. Make peace with men.

Ephesians 4:31-32

[31]Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

[32]And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

God expects us to forgive one another because he has forgiven us of our imperfections. We live in an imperfect world made up of people with imperfect hearts. 

Men are not infallible; they can offend you; yet, in order to make peace as a mature Christian, you must forgive, knowing that even the Lord God has forgiven you of your sins.

It is the law of the kingdom that if you do not forgive, you will not be forgiven. 

Matthew 6:15

[15]But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

The reward of mercy is mercy. 

When you show mercy you shall be shown mercy. If you don't show mercy you can't be shown mercy. It's a law in the kingdom though we are living in grace time.

Matthew 5:7

[7]Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Easy-to-Read Version Matthew 18:23-35 “So God’s kingdom is like a king who decided to collect the money his servants owed him. The king began to collect his money. One servant owed him several thousand pounds of silver. He was not able to pay the money to his master, the king. So the master ordered that he and everything he owned be sold, even his wife and children.

The money would be used to pay the king what the servant owed. “But the servant fell on his knees and begged, ‘Be patient with me. I will pay you everything I owe.’ The master felt sorry for him. So he told the servant he did not have to pay. He let him go free. “Later, that same servant found another servant who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him around the neck and said, ‘Pay me the money you owe me!’ “The other servant fell on his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me. I will pay you everything I owe.’ “But the first servant refused to be patient. He told the judge that the other servant owed him money, and that servant was put in jail until he could pay everything he owed. All the other servants saw what happened. They felt very sorry for the man. So they went and told their master everything that happened. “Then the master called his servant in and said, ‘You evil servant. You begged me to forgive your debt, and I said you did not have to pay anything! So you should have given that other man who serves with you the same mercy I gave you.’ The master was very angry, so he put the servant in jail to be punished. And he had to stay in jail until he could pay everything he owed. “This king did the same as my heavenly Father will do to you. You must forgive your brother or sister with all your heart, or my heavenly Father will not forgive you.”

Learn how to forgive. It will benefit your walk with God. "Forgive with all your heart," he urged. He never told us to hold something back, to distance ourselves, and to just tell them, "I forgive you."

Job's restoration required heartfelt forgiveness. 

The Lord was well aware that Job had become annoyed with his three misguided friends.

o him and even added more pain unto him. So the Lord told him to forgive them and pray for them.

Job 42:7-10  After the Lord finished talking to Job, he spoke to Eliphaz from Teman. He said, “I am angry with you and your two friends, because you did not tell the truth about me, as my servant Job did. So now, Eliphaz, get seven bulls and seven rams. Take them to my servant Job. Kill them and offer them as a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will answer his prayer. Then I will not give you the punishment you deserve. You should be punished, because you were very foolish. You did not say what is right about me, as my servant Job did.” So Eliphaz from Teman, Bildad from Shuah, and Zophar from Naamah obeyed the Lord. Then the Lord answered Job’s prayer. Job prayed for his friends, and the Lord made Job successful again. The Lord gave him twice as much as he had before.

Why are you holding something back? 

Why are you having bitterness?

 Let Another Man Take His Office. 

In late 2022, a peculiar dream captivated my thoughts. I saw men of God gathered in a queue, akin to an assembly, while famous Ghanaian spiritual leaders bestowed something upon them. However, what struck me was the revelation that when your turn came, you had to step aside and let another man take your place to receive the blessing. This dream held a profound lesson, and it was further affirmed when a fellow brother in Christ shared a video on Telegram that echoed the same theme. The message was clear—there is a time for succession and transition in leadership, and we must be prepared for it.

As I pondered the dream and its implications, it became evident that many people are not in line for their blessings and positions due to various reasons. Some have abandoned their roles, and when the Lord is ready to transfer power and authority to the next generation, they are nowhere to be found. Sin has caused some to fall out of alignment, leaving their positions vacant. The call to action is clear: align yourself with God's will, lest someone else takes your place.

Embracing the Mantle

Generations to come must be proactive in their pursuit of God's calling. A shining example is Joshua, who waited faithfully for Moses and was eventually anointed as the next leader. Prayer, patience, and humility are essential traits for those seeking to inherit the mantles of their predecessors. The scripture in Acts 1:20 aptly describes this concept, stating that when a leader's habitation becomes desolate, someone else will take up the role.

Pitfalls to Avoid

There are numerous stumbling blocks that can hinder our spiritual growth and ministry development. Covetousness, fueled by the love of money and the desire for recognition, has led many astray. A cautionary tale can be found in the story of Gehazi, Elisha's servant, who allowed greed to shorten his ministry. Similarly, Judas Iscariot's betrayal of Jesus for thirty pieces of silver highlights the peril of succumbing to the lust of the flesh.

Embracing Holiness

To walk in God's will and receive His blessings, holiness is imperative. Like Simon Peter, who reaffirmed his love for Jesus three times, we must demonstrate our love for God by caring for His sheep. Ministry, fame, or money should never surpass our love for the Lord and His calling. Only through love can we fulfill our mission and purpose in life.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the dream of men of God in a queue teaches us the importance of being in alignment with God's plan for our lives. Letting another man take our office signifies the passing of the torch and the necessity of embracing succession in leadership. To avoid being replaced, we must walk in holiness, shun covetousness, and love God above all else.

The Power In The Blood of Jesus: Unleashing Its Life-Changing Benefits

Introduction

The blood of Jesus is a powerful and transformative force that holds immense significance in the Christian faith. It serves as the foundation of our salvation, offering a pathway to redemption, forgiveness, and victory over sin. In this article, we will explore the profound power of the blood of Jesus and the extraordinary benefits it brings to believers. Through a deep dive into biblical passages and theological insights, we will unravel the life-changing impact of embracing the blood of Jesus in our lives.

The Significance of the Blood in Biblical History

The First Passover: A Foreshadowing of Redemption

The ancient Israelites, held captive as slaves in Egypt, experienced the miraculous power of the blood during the first Passover. As God unleashed ten plagues upon Egypt, the final and most devastating plague involved the death of all firstborn sons. However, the Israelites were instructed to apply the blood of a lamb to their doorposts, signifying their faith and trust in God's deliverance. When the angel of death saw the blood, it "passed over" those households, sparing their firstborn. This event foreshadowed the ultimate redemption brought by the blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God sacrificed for the salvation of humanity.

The Blood Sacrifices of the Old Testament

Throughout the Old Testament, blood sacrifices played a pivotal role in the Israelites' relationship with God. These sacrifices, offered through the shedding of animals' blood, symbolized the atonement and forgiveness of sins. On the Day of Atonement, the high priest would enter the Holy of Holies and sprinkle the blood of sacrificed animals on the mercy seat, seeking reconciliation between God and His people. However, these sacrifices were temporary and merely covered sins, highlighting the need for a perfect and permanent solution.

The Power of Jesus' Shed Blood

Satisfying God's Justice

The blood of Jesus holds the power to satisfy God's justice, fulfilling the requirement of the law and offering forgiveness for our sins. In the Garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve sinned, God proclaimed that the consequence of sin is death. The shedding of blood became necessary for the remission of sins. In the Old Testament, animal sacrifices temporarily covered sins, but they could not permanently remove the guilt and penalty of sin. However, Jesus, as the perfect Lamb of God, willingly shed His blood on the cross, satisfying God's justice and providing the ultimate sacrifice for our redemption.

Reconciliation with God

Through the blood of Jesus, we find reconciliation with God. Just as the blood on the doorposts protected the Israelites from the angel of death, the blood of Jesus serves as our protection and means of reconciliation. By accepting Jesus as our Savior and applying His blood to our hearts through faith, we are spared from the judgment that leads to eternal separation from God. The blood of Jesus opens the door to a restored relationship with the Father, granting us access to His grace and love.

The Cleansing Power of Jesus' Blood

Jesus' blood has the unparalleled power to cleanse us from all sin. It washes away our guilt and frees us from condemnation. The apostle John writes that if we walk in the light, as Jesus is in the light, His blood continually cleanses us from every sin. This cleansing is not a one-time event but a continuous process as we confess our sins and seek His forgiveness. Through His blood, we are made new, purified, and set free from the bondage of sin.

Overcoming the Enemy

The blood of Jesus empowers believers to overcome the enemy, Satan. In the book of Revelation, we read that believers conquer the devil by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and their willingness to lay down their lives for Christ. The blood of Jesus serves as a powerful weapon against the accuser, the devil, and sets us free from his grip. By appropriating the blood of Jesus through faith, we can resist the enemy's attacks, experience victory in spiritual warfare, and walk in the authority given to us as children of God.

Embracing the Benefits of Jesus' Blood

Redemption and Freedom

Through the blood of Jesus, we find redemption and freedom from the bondage of sin. The apostle Paul declares that we have been redeemed, purchased by the precious blood of Christ. This redemption sets us free from the curse of the law and offers us a new life in Christ. By accepting Jesus' sacrifice and embracing His blood, we are no longer slaves to sin but are set free to live in righteousness and holiness.

Healing and Restoration

The blood of Jesus brings healing and restoration to every area of our lives. Just as the Israelites experienced physical healing and deliverance from afflictions, Jesus' sacrifice provides healing for our bodies, minds, and souls. The prophet Isaiah prophesied that by His stripes, we are healed. Through the blood of Jesus, we can experience spiritual and emotional healing, restoration of broken relationships, and the renewal of our minds.

Access to God's Presence

The blood of Jesus grants us access to the presence of God. In the Old Testament, only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies, the dwelling place of God's presence, once a year. However, through Jesus' sacrifice, the veil separating us from God's presence was torn, granting us direct access to the Father. We can approach the throne of grace with confidence, knowing that through the blood of Jesus, we are welcomed into His presence, where we find mercy, grace, and intimate communion with Him.

Joy and Peace

Embracing the blood of Jesus fills our lives with joy and peace that surpasses understanding. The apostle Peter writes that we were ransomed by the precious blood of Christ, which brings us an inexpressible and glorious joy. The blood of Jesus releases us from the burden of guilt and shame, filling our hearts with the assurance of God's love and forgiveness. This joy and peace sustain us in the midst of life's challenges, giving us strength and confidence as we walk in the victory secured by Jesus' blood.

Eternal Life and Future Hope

The blood of Jesus secures our eternal life and offers us a future hope. Jesus Himself proclaimed that by partaking of His body and blood, we have eternal life. Through His blood, we are reconciled to God, and as children of God, our future is secure in Him. The writer of Hebrews assures us that Jesus' blood has brought us into a new and living way, leading to an eternal inheritance and the promise of an incorruptible and glorious future.

Conclusion

The power of the blood of Jesus is immeasurable and life-changing. It satisfies God's justice, reconciles us to Him, cleanses us from all sin, and empowers us to overcome the enemy. By embracing the benefits of Jesus' blood, we experience redemption, healing, access to God's presence, joy, peace, and the assurance of eternal life. Let us never underestimate the significance of the blood of Jesus in our lives and continually appropriate its power through faith. May we walk in the victory and freedom secured by the blood of the Lamb, living as transformed and empowered followers of Christ.

 FEAR, THE ENEMY OF PROGRESS. 

Fear is a powerful adversary that has the potential to cripple individuals and hinder their progress towards success and fulfillment. Throughout history, countless people have faced failure and missed opportunities because fear took control of their lives. Whether it be in personal, professional, or spiritual aspects, the grip of fear can be paralyzing, preventing individuals from realizing their full potential.

The Impact of Fear

Fear has the ability to shatter dreams and ambitions. Many individuals, despite their well-thought-out plans and passionate desires, find themselves unable to take action due to the overwhelming sense of fear. From great men to students, pastors to married couples, and businessmen, fear has thwarted the paths to success for numerous individuals, leaving them uncertain and despondent.

The Lesson from Job

In the story of Job in the book of Job 3:25-26, we see how fear can manifest even in the lives of the wealthy and privileged. Job, despite his prosperity, harbored fear within him, and tragically, the very thing he feared came upon him unexpectedly. A person of faith should not be overtaken by fear but should always find strength and courage in the presence of the Lord.

The Tale of the Millionaire and the Armed Robber

A tale of a millionaire confronted by an armed robber highlights the detrimental consequences of excessive fear. Fearing a potential robbery, the millionaire took extreme precautions, hiring guards and acquiring weapons. However, on the fateful night, his fear led him to sleep with a remote control in his arms, mistaking it for a gun. When the armed robber arrived, he easily disarmed the millionaire, who was paralyzed by fear, and robbed him of his wealth. This story emphasizes that an overwhelming fear can lead to the very outcome one dreads the most.

Overcoming Fear with Faith

The Bible provides guidance on overcoming fear with faith. Isaiah 41:10 reassures us that God is with us, strengthening and upholding us with His righteous right hand. Just as Joshua and Caleb demonstrated faith in exploring the land of Canaan, we too must trust in God's presence and power to conquer the giants and challenges we encounter in our lives.

Embracing Positive Attitude and Faith

Fear can hold us back from fulfilling our destinies, especially when we compromise our faith to avoid potential difficulties. However, maintaining a positive attitude and unwavering faith can lead us to victory. We must remember that there is no fear in love, and perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18). With love and faith, we can overcome obstacles, strengthen relationships, and make progress in all aspects of life.

Conclusion

Fear is a formidable foe that can hinder progress and success. It can cause individuals to miss opportunities and compromise their faith. However, with unwavering faith and trust in God's presence and love, we can conquer fear and achieve our goals. Let us learn from the examples of those who faced fear and still moved forward with courage. Embracing faith and positive attitudes, we can overcome fear and become the masters of our destinies.

Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor

If we desire long life and prosperity, we must seek wisdom and understanding. Wisdom guides us in our journey through life and safeguards us from stumbling into the traps set by the enemy. Sadly, many people have lost their lives due to foolish choices and actions.

The book of Proverbs provides us with invaluable insights into the power of wisdom. Proverbs 3:16-17 states, "Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." This verse emphasizes that wisdom brings not only long life but also wealth and honor.

The Power of Wisdom from Proverbs

The book of Proverbs provides us with invaluable insights into the power of wisdom. Proverbs 3:16-17 states, "Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." This verse emphasizes that wisdom brings not only long life but also wealth and honor.

The Impact of Foolish Actions

Foolish actions, such as dabbling in the occult, using our tongues to speak negatively, or engaging in theft, directly affect our souls and bodies. On the other hand, wisdom grants us peace and helps us excel in all our endeavors. Proverbs 3:23-24 assures us, "Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet." Those who have wisdom sleep well, free from fear, knowing that the Lord will protect them and their ways.

Embracing Wisdom Leads to Favor and Success

The Bible highlights that embracing wisdom leads to favor, promotion, and honor in all aspects of life. Proverbs 4:7-9 advises, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honor when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee." This profound verse emphasizes the value of wisdom and its ability to elevate individuals to places of honor and distinction.

Unfortunately, some individuals reject God's word and suffer the consequences. The story of Saul serves as a cautionary tale. In 1 Samuel 15:22-23,35, we read how Saul's disobedience led to God's rejection of him as king. The Lord had anointed Saul to rule Israel, but Saul's rebellion and stubbornness caused God to withdraw His favor.

To ensure a blessed and prosperous life, we must heed the call to walk in wisdom. Just as Joseph and Daniel were elevated to positions of authority due to their wisdom and faithfulness, wisdom can enable us to lead successfully in various spheres. Whether building a family, a church, or any endeavor, wisdom paves the way for victory.

Choosing Wise Companions

Moreover, wisdom helps us choose our companions wisely, protecting us from evil influences. Proverbs 1:10-15 warns against associating with sinners who entice others to engage in wicked deeds. It cautions against those who seek to harm others for personal gain. We must refrain from such associations, for they can lead us down destructive paths.

Psalm 1:1-3 further emphasizes the importance of avoiding ungodly counsel and delighting in God's law. Those who meditate on His word day and night will be like a well-watered tree, bearing fruit in due season and prospering in all they do. Conversely, the ungodly, like chaff blown away by the wind, will face destruction.

How Wisdom Gives Honor

In the pursuit of long life and prosperity, wisdom plays a significant role in bestowing honor upon those who embrace it. The Scriptures are replete with instances where wisdom led individuals to positions of honor and influence. King Solomon is a prime example of someone who sought wisdom above all else. When God asked him what he desired, Solomon asked for wisdom to govern his people justly (1 Kings 3:9). Impressed by his request, God not only granted Solomon wisdom but also bestowed upon him riches, wealth, and honor beyond any king of his time (1 Kings 3:13).

A Life Honored by Wisdom

The story of Joseph in the book of Genesis is a remarkable testament to the honor that wisdom can bestow upon an individual. Despite facing betrayal and unjust circumstances, Joseph's wisdom and integrity shone through, eventually leading him to be second in command over all of Egypt (Genesis 41:39-43). His wisdom in interpreting dreams and managing resources during a severe famine brought great honor not only to him but also to his family and his people.

The Honor of Daniel: Exalted through Wisdom and Faithfulness

Daniel's life also exemplifies how wisdom can lead to great honor and influence. As a young exile in Babylon, Daniel demonstrated exceptional wisdom and understanding, earning him a place among King Nebuchadnezzar's advisors (Daniel 1:17-20). Throughout his life, Daniel's unwavering faithfulness to God and his wisdom in interpreting dreams and visions resulted in numerous promotions and recognition from successive rulers, including Darius and Cyrus (Daniel 6:1-3, Daniel 10:1).

Wisdom in Decision-Making and Leadership

Wisdom is not only about personal conduct but also about decision-making and leadership. In the biblical narrative, David, known as a man after God's own heart, sought wisdom in leading the nation of Israel. His reliance on God's wisdom and guidance enabled him to make sound decisions and led to a period of prosperity and honor for the nation (1 Chronicles 29:25).

Seeking wisdom is not limited to the earthly realm; it holds eternal significance as well. Proverbs 8:35 proclaims, "For whoever finds me [wisdom] finds life and obtains favor from the Lord." When we seek and embrace wisdom, we find life in all its fullness, and we experience the favor and honor that come from a life lived in alignment with God's principles.

 Conclusion

In conclusion, if we desire long life and prosperity, we must seek wisdom and understanding. Embracing wisdom not only protects us from harm but also leads us to favor, promotion, and success. Let us choose to walk in the fear of the Lord, obey His word, and surround ourselves with wise and godly companions. By doing so, we will experience the abundant blessings and prosperity that come from a life lived in wisdom and understanding.
