TOPIC: The Power Of Forgiveness (II) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 31 March 2021)

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Judges 3-5

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 23:23-34 (KJV)

23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

MEMORY VERSE: “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.” – Luke 23:34

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Forgiveness is the hallmark of Christian maturity. Forgiven greatly; forgive greatly.

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
THE STRONGHOLD OF UNFORGIVENESS IS DESTROYED IN YOUR LIFE TODAY, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

The MESSAGE:

Yesterday, we stressed the necessity for every believer to obey God on the issue of loving and forgiving others as He has loved and forgiven us. Also, as we noted yesterday, the one who forgives others does more good to himself than anyone else because he frees himself from a self-imposed prison.

In spite of the wrong accusation and punishment meted to Jesus, who was sinless and guiltless, He said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34). Stephen, the first martyr, prayed to God on behalf of his persecutors and murderers that He should not count the wrong against them. If he hadn’t done that, heaven would have wasted Saul of Tarsus before he became a great apostle. Similarly, Joseph, in the Old Testament, was a type of Jesus. He freely forgave his brothers who sold him into slavery. All these are written for our learning.

However, if you are offended or aggrieved and are finding it difficult to forgive and forget as you are commanded by the Lord, you can get healing for your emotions. God heals the broken hearted! Pray healing and deliverance prayers to free your emotions of the roots of bitterness and liberate yourself from the self-imposed prison of hate and unforgiving spirit.

Someone said that God forgave our sins, cast them into the ocean of forgetfulness and put a sign there. NO FISHING! That is the same thing we should do for those who offend us.

The weight and burden of unforgiveness, bitterness and hatred is capable of making those who carry them about unable to take the spiritual flight at the time of rapture. Therefore, it is advisable to invite the blood of Jesus and the fire of the Holy Ghost to get rid of such weights and burden now. God’s grace is still available and at work. The Father, in His infinite mercy, will give you the grace to obey Him unquestioningly, completely and promptly on this all-important issue, in the name of Jesus.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

  2. Blood of Jesus, deliver me from the grip of unforgiveness, in the name of Jesus.
  3. The grace to forgive and move on, fall upon my life, in the name of Jesus.
