7 REASONS WHY WE SHOULD ALWAYS FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER

Here are 7 reasons why we should always forgive one another:

Forgiveness is commanded by God in the Bible. In Colossians 3:13, it says, "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."

Forgiveness is an act of obedience to God and a way of demonstrating our love for him. In Matthew 6:14-15, Jesus says, "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."

Forgiveness is a sign of humility and a way of recognizing our own need for God's forgiveness. In Matthew 18:21-22, Peter asks Jesus how many times he should forgive someone who has wronged him, and Jesus replies, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times."

Forgiveness is a way of showing compassion and mercy towards others, just as God has shown compassion and mercy towards us. In Luke 6:36, Jesus says, "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."

Forgiveness is essential for our own spiritual health and well-being. In Mark 11:25, Jesus says, "And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

Forgiveness is a way of breaking the cycle of bitterness, anger, and resentment, and moving towards reconciliation and healing. In Ephesians 4:32, it says, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

Forgiveness is a way of releasing others from the debt they owe us, just as God has released us from the debt of our sins. In Romans 4:7, it says, "Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered."

10 REASONS WHY WE SHOULD ALWAYS PRAY

There are many reasons why we should always pray to God. Here are ten potential reasons:

To give thanks to God for the blessings and good things in life.

To ask God for help, guidance, and support in times of need.

To express our deepest hopes, fears, and emotions.

To feel a sense of connection and communion with God.

To find comfort, solace, and peace in times of distress or uncertainty.

To seek forgiveness for our mistakes and transgressions.

To pray for others who are suffering.

To feel a sense of community and solidarity with other believers.

To help focus the mind and calm the spirit.

To help cultivate a sense of humility and gratitude in our life.

LESSONS FROM THE STORY OF JOB

The book of Job is known for its depiction of Job's struggle with suffering and his faith in God. It begins with a description of Job as a wealthy and upright man who is favored by God. However, Satan challenges Job's righteousness and God allows Satan to test Job by taking away all of his wealth and causing him to suffer various physical afflictions.

Throughout the book, Job struggles to understand why he is suffering and questions God's justice. Despite his suffering, Job maintains his faith in God and ultimately, God restores his prosperity and blesses him with even greater wealth than he had before.

The book of Job is often interpreted as a story about the relationship between suffering and faith, and it has inspired many people to find hope and strength in times of difficulty. Some lessons that can be drawn from the story of Job include:

Suffering is a part of human experience and it is not always easy to understand why it happens.

Faith in God can provide strength and comfort in times of suffering.

It is important to trust in God's goodness and wisdom, even when we don't understand his plans.

Persistence in faith and trust in God can lead to restoration and blessings.

LESSONS FROM THE STORY OF ESTHER

The story of Esther, which is told in the Old Testament of the Bible, contains several important lessons that can be learned. Here are a few of the main lessons that can be taken away from the story:

God is in control: The story of Esther shows that God is ultimately in control of all things, even when it may not seem like it. Despite the challenges and obstacles that Esther faced, she was able to trust in God and follow his plan for her life.

Courage and faith can overcome adversity: Esther demonstrated great courage and faith when she approached the king to plead for her people. She put her own life on the line to stand up for what she believed in, and her actions ultimately helped to save the lives of many others.

The importance of self-sacrifice: Esther was willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good, even though it meant putting her own life at risk. This lesson reminds us of the importance of being willing to put others before ourselves.

The power of forgiveness: In the story of Esther, the king shows mercy and forgiveness to Esther and her people, even though they had wronged him. This lesson teaches us the importance of forgiveness and the positive impact it can have on relationships.

Barims:

If you think GOD doesn't exist because you're yet to have an encounter with Him, then, it's your own fault.

After a series of arguments between an atheist professor and his student, the student said...


...let me
give you an example of what I mean.’ The student
looks around the room. ‘Is there anyone in the class
who has ever seen the professor’s brain?’ The class breaks out into laughter. ‘Is there anyone here who
has ever heard the professor’s brain, felt the
professor’s brain, touched or smelt the professor’s
brain?

No one appears to have done so. So, according
to the established rules of empirical, stable,
demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain.


Edited

Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

Pls can u first differentiate between 'God's word' and the 'word of God'.

RestructureNig6:
God does not exist and prayers don't work

See what you are saying..
If God proves that he exists on your head now, people will begin to cry.

You are too liberal in your ignorance

[quote author=SultanOfPuna post=119601687]If you fix Nigerian government
97% of Pentecostal churches and all these scam ministries will close
Catholic/Anglican will still stand gidi gba

When someone gives testimony for buying car. When someone give testimony of getting job
It breaks,my heart
These are basic things in developed countries over here it's celebrated like a life achievement.

[b] When I went to church abroad, they preach and teach practical Christianity. They go on missions in communities and give free food and other hummanitries

Here in 9ja, they preach material, wordly things and call it prosperity. Nonsense
Pray for good job
Pray for security.
Pray for new car
Pray for husband, fruit of womb.

And the pastors will be milking them like sheep's.


Shout out to all my 419 pastors out there
continue milk:I wanted to attend your ignorant mind,but i noticed u havetransformed into one of those whosome level of comfort has messed up their minds.u were not like ds b4

Forgive because an eye for an eye makes the world go blind.
