ACTIVATING THE SPIRIT OF FORGIVENESS - PT. 2

'A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.' - John 13 vs 34

Greetings to you dearly beloved of God in Christ Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

I trust God to bring to your heart His Word in a special way, that you may be divinely helped of God to live according to His will, in regard to forgiveness. Amen.

Okay. There's a statement which a whole lot of persons make when they have had an issue or an ought with someone, which is highly questionable and not after the righteousness of God. They say, "I don't have an issue with him, I don't have an issue with her, but I will not just talk to him, I will not just talk to her, I can't just call him, I can't just call her." Uhmm. And when asked why they can't call the fellow or why they don't want to speak with the fellow even when they've said there's no issue, they say "Nothing, I just can't speak to her now or I just can't talk to him.' - Selah. Uhmm

In my musings, I began to contemplate this action with the Word of God, and I found out that such an action does not come from Above, but is devlish and sensual and after the character of the devil, that's unforgiveness in disguise. - Selah. So let's examine our opening Bible passage again and get light on this subject;

'A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.' - John 13 vs 34 {KJV}

These are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. He says to us, Love one another as I have loved you. I want you to imagine this thing, Imagine that when you sin against God and you ask Him to forgive you, He says to you, "I don't have an issue with you, but I will not speak with you." - Think about it. Imagine God said to you, I don't have any issue with you, but I cannot just talk to you. - Selah. Can you survive that? Never! - Selah. But glory be to God who forgives us, blots out all our offences, that the trace or traces of our offence cannot be found forever before Him, and He continually relates with us and walks with us as ones who never offended. Waow! Now if God loves us this way, and He tells us to love others as He loves us, can't you now see that something is wrong with that thing which people say, how they say "I don't have any issue with him/her, but I cannot just talk to him/her." - Selah

Dearly beloved, the approval and authentication of our love walk is seen in it's reflection of the love which God has towards us. When your love for others reflects His love for you, then you are truly in the will of God. - Selah

Dearly beloved, know this moment that satan deceitfully keeps Brethren in the yoke of unforgiveness, by influencing them to assume they have no issue with the person who has offended them, but their aftermath actions always shows that there's an issue. You have to agree with yourself as you read this Article, you need the help of God at this point to be free from that yoke - it's the yoke of unforgiveness. There are many Believers in the world today living and walking in the yoke of unforgiveness unaware to them. How come the person you say you have no issue with; you cannot say Hello to, you cannot visit, you cannot tell congratulations, when you see the fellow, either in person or even in pictures, your heart skips and begins to beat faster than normal? The Lord Jesus Christ is sending out His Word to you right now to help you, to bring you out of that yoke which has stayed strong on you, the yoke of unforgiveness; He has determined to snatch you out of that danger line you are currently threading unaware to you.

Now this is what you will do, just as the Lord has loved you and eternally loves you, not considering your errors and weaknesses and ever comforting your heart and mind by the Holy Spirit who He has given us, you will also pick up that phone of yours and call that fellow that has offended you to simply say, Hello! Yes. You pick up that phone now and write that fellow; just say "Hello". An Hello is enough to break that yoke of unforgiveness from your life. I have seen many Brethren testify to the effect of this Word I share with you right now, how they felt Peace inside them after they reached out to their offender. You too will experience that Peace as you reach out to that fellow that has offended you, and you will know that of a truth, you were indeed walking in unforgiveness unaware.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
