Forgiveness: An Attitude To Be Imbibed

When last were you wronged; yesterday, today, last week, last month, last year, two tears ago? The list is endless. However the question is; have you forgiven whoever offended you? We hold unto the pains of the past, the agony of failed relationships, the back-stabbing by friends so dear and close to you, the mishaps, etc all caused by somebody else.

Forgiveness is a virtue we must have in our lives if we are to move on. Forgiveness is what erases the memory of the past and gives us a new lease of life. Forgiveness gives us the go ahead to make new commitments (though with caution), discover new things explore new opportunities, break new grounds, open closed doors and finally fulfill our destiny.

No one in this life will truly move forward without having to forgive himself/herself of the mistakes he/she had made in the past. Don’t blame yourself again for your present predicament. Forgive yourself and move on. Do no more damage to yourself by this act. Please, forgive your friends and walk towards fulfilling your next goal.

Finally, forgiveness is made possible by the Holy Spirit of God. To err is human, to forgive divine. You need the divine ability of God to forgive and forget all past misdeeds either by yourself or others. The Holy Spirit grants you the grace to forgive others; invite him into your heart and allow him take control of that situation. Please, do give Him a chance to enable you forgive and forget.

God bless you.

Expectation

Expectation is to hope for something. What are you currently expecting? I pray your Godly expectations will not be disappointed in Jesus name (Amen). However, for your expectation not to be disappointed, you have to do what God says you should do. You have to live your life according to His dictates. You have to ensure that you do the things that please Him.


You earnestly expect God to provide a new home for you, isn’t it? Have you done the things He asked you to do? Have you given out that part of your income to the hungry as He expects of you? Have you donated that old furniture to the less privileged? Have you paid your tithes? The things you expect will be fulfilled when you do the things God expects of you too. You will receive your heart desires when you consciously carry out the dictates of Him that can meet your expectations. You will dance for joy when you put a smile on the face of Him who is more than able to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.


Your expectation will only be met if you fulfil the expectations of Him that called you out of darkness into His marvellous light. Your expectation will never be cut off if you do the things on the mind of God.


Remain blessed.

The Yearnings of God

God yearns that man will live in a better world – a world devoid of hunger, strife, envy, poverty, restlessness, anger, bitterness, commotion, arguments and hatred.

Look at your own personal world now. Isn’t it filled with the above mentioned things? Is your world not reflecting the things that God does not want? Is your world radiating the glory of God? Is your world fulfilling the dictates of God? If it isn’t, what could be the reason?

My beloved, God yearns above all things that you live in a peaceful world created by your acts and attitudes. A world created by the positive confession of your mouth, a world inhabited by your graceful conversations, a world devoid of deceit and animosity towards fellow human beings, a world of love towards all. That’s the world God wants you to create by yourself.

This type of world is however impossible without the saving Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and your conscious effort to fulfil God’s yearnings. What will your own world turn out to be in the future? A world of strife or peace, poverty or prosperity, deceit or faithfulness, anger or patience?

God desires that you fulfil the yearnings of His heart. Will you obey or continue to live in your world of confusion? God expects you to make a major decision today by living to create a world He desires you to create for yourself and the coming generation.

Break Free From The Norm!

Accepting the status quo is a sign of defeat, a sign of laziness, a sign of backwardness and a sign of faithlessness. If Henry Ford has accepted the status quo, the six cylinder engine wouldn’t have been invented. The ‘status quo’ is an embargo enforcer, a yoke, a burden, a limitation upon the thoughts and actions of anyone who is caught in its web.

Many learned/educated people can limit your as a person – they quote relevant theories, experiments and conclusions backing up the fact that what you intend doing cannot be done. If you listen to them, you are done for! No man or woman is born limited – we are all limitless. Your own wits end might be the beginning of someone else’s knowledge.

I see myself as limitless – someone who has the ability to do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. I can do anything as long as I put my heart to learn how to do it. I can achieve anything I desire once I set my heart to do it.

My friend, it is time for you to break free from the norm, from the limitations of others, from the restricting voices of others, from the limiting expectations of the society (family, friends, colleagues, superiors, etc) you find yourself in.

Stand up and break free from the NORM!
