Focus: Forgiveness an act of Sacrifice

WORD FOR TODAY
Forgiving those who offend you is a requirement you must meet if your prayers will be answered. Forgiveness is an act of sacrifice that put your past and every terrible experiences behind you and usher you into the glorious future the Lord has for you!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
" Forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us." (Matthew 6:12 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unforgiveness is a tool in the hands of the devil to tie you down to your past and hinder you from moving into your greatness. Imagine a man that is sad today because of what someone did to him ten years ago. Unforgiveness sows the seed of bitterness which robs a man the liberty to enjoy life and live under the influence of God's favour and grace.

Jesus in his teachings made it clear to us that a man will only deserve and obtain mercy if he is merciful. Despite all they did to Him at calvary in a build up to becoming the Lord of all, He said "Father forgive them ..." Each time you allow the Spirit of Christ to rule in your life it will not be difficult for you to forgive the offence of men.

Pride is a factor that hinders men to forgive those who offend them. Hence, God Himself will oppose men who do not forgive their offenders. It is true that what that man did to you is very grievous but at the same time you cannot allow the offence of men to tie you back to your past. There is more to life than your past; you have to forgive and move into success and victory ahead of you!!!
