First And Foremost, What Is Your Stand With God?

What is your stand with the Father at this time? What can prevent you from receiving the fulfillment of the prophecies in your life? It is the will of God to fulfill them but certain things in your life may need to be cleaned up first. This post emphasizes the need to examine yourself.

 

Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified - 2 Corinthians 13:5 (NKJV).

 

Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down - Revelation 12:10 (NKJV).

Introduction

Your inheritance is sure waiting for you, but you need to qualify to receive it. The enemy will be glad to steal your blessing, and so will go before God to accuse you of any unrepented sin. This calls for you to examine yourself now and repent of any un-confessed sin.

Purge Yourself

There is a need for you to purge yourself of any iniquity, including any filthy thoughts. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you areas of your life that need to be cleansed, ask for forgiveness and sin no more (John 8:11).

 

Your offence could be disobedience to the divine assignment. If you are yet to carry out a divine assignment given to you, it could hinder the fulfillment of prophecy in your life. When Jonah refused to go to Nineveh, he got calamity instead of blessings (Jonah 1:1-17). On the other hand, when Abraham obeyed the divine instruction given to him, God swore a blessing upon him and his descendants which is still speaking in their lives today (Genesis 22:1-18).  Read more...

Declare That You May Be Justified

Are you being tormented and denied your blessings because of your past sins? Are you miserable because you can't get your mind off the sins you committed earlier? I have good news for you; you can be free from that torment today. This post tells you how you can be free from the harassment of the enemy because of the sins you committed earlier.

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified - Isaiah 43:25-26 (KJV)

Many people are held in bondage because of what they did in the past. They have repented but the enemy is forever bringing up their past to torment them, using it as a reason why they can't receive anything from God. These people are serving God with their whole heart, but lack the boldness to receive their inheritance from God because they think that they are not worthy or qualified for the blessing. If you are part of these people, satan is just cheating you of your inheritance.

God says that He has blotted out your transgressions for His own sake and that He will not remember them again (Isaiah 43:25). When you ask God to forgive you, you must believe that He will do what He said He would do, which is to forgive and forget your sins. You should not believe the thoughts the enemy is bombarding your mind with, rather choose to believe the Lord.

The Almighty Father forgets your sins when you ask for forgiveness for His own sake, so that He will freely bless you without remembering your sins. You are the one remembering it, not God. No matter how gravely the sin may be, when God forgives, He forgets; you too should forget when you have confessed and repented from it. Read more...

How to Forgive Someone and Forget

“You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.” Lewis B.Smedes. To some people, learning how to forgive someone is one thing and to forget is another thing. But the truth is that when you actually forgive, and you remember the incidence later, it will be with no pain/hurt attached. 

Unforgiveness imprisons a person and yields the person over to the control of the offender. The consequences of not forgiving, is too costly for anyone to consider harbouring it. Forgiveness on the other hand is the best revenge; it really provokes anyone who offends on purpose.

Steps on how to forgive someone

·         It takes humility- Without humility, true forgiveness is impossible. Our pride is usually what is wounded when we are offended. Overcome pride and forgiveness is easy. So, if you are struggling with unforgiveness, check your pride, it may be the obstacle to your victory.

·         Ask for divine help- Sometimes, you really want to forgive and forget but the hurt is so deep and may be you are still physically suffering from the result of that offence, there is need for you to ask God to help you forgive the offender. God is ever ready to help us when we reach out to Him for help. Remember Jesus too had to forgive us all our sins and He remembers them no more. Read more...

Understanding the Deadly Force of Unforgiveness

Everyone often gets the opportunity to be mistreated, hurt, annoyed but what you do afterwards is what matters. Life is too short to allow this deadly force called unforgiveness to ruin it for you. “The hatred you’re carrying is a live coal in your heart – far more damaging to yourself than to them” Lawana Blackwell

To err is human; to forgive is divine, they say. But we have been given the power to forgive. The power of forgiveness is awesome because of the immense benefits to the one who forgives. It is all about what you want in life and how far you want to go. Unforgiveness is a force that has the power to influence, affect or control you and your future negatively.

When a person understands the effect of this deadly force, a red light flashes on the heart when unforgiveness comes knocking on the door. This force is so deadly that it has ruined many relationships, careers, businesses, led many to their sick beds and many to their early graves.

Why you must resist unforgiveness

·         It gives your offender the power to hurt you-Any time you remember the offence or see the person or even hear his/her name mentioned, you will get angry or be emotionally worked up. And if the offender is aware of this effect on you and he is a bad one, he may choose to add to the injury with more offences.

·         Your health is affected-When your anger is boiling; it increases your heartbeat, tightens your muscles, and causes aches and pains. And may lead to more serious medical issues if not checked on time. Read more...
