FORGIVENESS; THE HIGHEST MANIFESTATION OF LOVE

Forgiveness is the highest sign of an ailment of love.

The book of Mark says: And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.  26  But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
"Mark 11:25-26 25"

Whenever you stand to pray, forgive.
Jesus was pointing out the need for forgiveness if faith and prayer are to work.
We have heard a lot about faith, but not enough about forgiveness. 

Forgiveness is the highest manifestation of love, being able to forgive people that offend you is an evidence of having perfect love.

The love of those who find it difficult to forgive is not yet made perfect.

Anyone who lives in unforgiveness will automatically be under the bondage of fear.

Prayer of faith will not work without love. Your willingness to forgive those who hurt you is the evidence of the love of God in you

1 peter 3:7 “In the same way, you husbands must give honour to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God’s gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.”

If you fail to live in love in your marriage, the bible says your prayer even when it is said in faith will be hindered.
Forgiveness, the highest manifestation of Love

Forgive others and you will be forgiven. Amen

Morning Message of Motivation

The Blessings of Israel: The first two patriarchs Abraham and Isaac had blessed the next leaders of the family. Abraham had blessed Isaac and Isaac had blessed Jacob. They had also separated the blessed leader from his other siblings. Genesis 25:5-6a NKJV “And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son,” Abraham separated his other sons from Isaac, to ensure that the ensuing family would be purely from Isaac. Sarah had earlier insisted on the departure of Ishmael and Hagar his mother. Genesis 21:9-10 NKJV “And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, scoffing. Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this bondwoman and her son;” Abraham was very sad about this but God sided with Sarah. Genesis 21:12 NIV “But God said to him, “Do not be so distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is

wisdom of Martin Luther

"Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures or by clear reason (for I do not trust either in the pope or in councils alone, since it is well known that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. May God help me. Amen" Martin Luther, at the Diet of Worms, 1521. It has been 500 years since the birth of Protestantism by Martin Luther in 1517. His 95 thesis against the buying of indulgences, proclaiming salvation by faith alone (Roman 1:17), destroyed the tyrannical hold of the Papacy on the Christian world, and ushered in an age of spiritual renaissance. This publication in October 1517 marked the birth of the reformation and Protestantism and we should continue to protest against any unscriptural doctrine in the Christian church, that is what Luther stood for.

Choosing to Praise The Lord

Joshua‬ ‭24:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “ And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD .”” ‭‭ The world hassles us every day; I don’t have to tell you that. Our fears, anxieties, and hurts are very real. But if we focus only on these earthly problems, then very soon the spiritual realm becomes foggy and unreal. We lose sight of God and slide into pessimism and even depression. Life loses its joy and excitement. If we limit our thinking to this world alone, it will grind us down into the dust from which we were created. No matter how difficult or unjust our circumstances become, we can exercise our free will and choose to praise God rather than ignore Him. Praise has a strong emotional dimension—as we see in the Psalms—but it is not driven by emotions. Praise
