FAITH CAPSULE: Today, forgive certain in your life; pray to allow open door of miracle.
Matthew 6:5-15, Mark 11:20-26
The word of God stated, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) Indeed, with sin no man can reach to God. Jesus came for the forgiveness of our sin before God. Colossians 1:14 stated, “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” For man to claim the grace of forgiveness, man must know to forgive others. Jesus constantly requested from us, “But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” (Matthew 6:15) As a believer of Jesus, are you holding list of unforgiving? With the spirit of unforgiving, prayer will not pass beyond the roof of house. Disciples of Jesus approached Him to teach them how to pray. In His teaching, He stated, “And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.” (Luke 11:4) It is clear that before the debt of sin can be forgiven by God, we must have been able to forgive others. Evidently, unforgiving is a prayer hindering spirit. An unforgiving Christian is engaging a position of unfulfilled mission of answering to the calling of God.
A major hindrance of an acclaimed believer’s prayer is the inability to forgive others. Through the bible, the word of God emphasized the issue of forgiveness. The word of Jesus stated in Mark 11:25, “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him that your Father in heaven may also forgive your trespasses.” A believer that cannot stand in prayer will not prevail. God wants us to be constant and consistent in forgiving those who are indebted to us. As an expected of prayer manifestation, know and become one that forgives other. The issue of giving to forgiving others is just a reminder that might give way for miracle expectation. Today, you have to forgive certain in your life to allow open door of a miracle. Today, allow an answer for a long awaited breakthrough becomes your portion.
Allow God to work on your behalf by letting unforgiving spirit bow to a forgiving spirit.
Praying with a forgiving spirit is a mountain moving prayer.
God cannot be deceived He sees our heart. Proverbs 20:27 stated, “The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the inner depths of his heart.” We cannot go to God with a claim of forgiving while the layer of unforgiving exists in the inner depth of the heart. Forgive and not become a victim of failure. Jesus warned, “But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”(Mark 11:26) God is true to His word when He said that with sin, no one can see Him.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to be delivered from the spirit of forgiveness.
