LET GO(2)

-

Text : Genesis 45:2
 *And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.* 

Joseph gave his brethren an Unconditional forgiveness. He showed them a great act of kindness inspite of the  evil they did to him. He paid them good for the evil they had done to him. He did not allow himself to be overcome by their evil, rather, he overcame their  evil with good. (Romans 12:21).

The brothers of Joseph did him so much evil. They later recounted how grievous the evil they did to him was. Genesis  42:21  _"And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear..."_ 

Has anyone caused your soul to be in anguish(excruciating and agonising pain), I pray that you will receive grace like Joseph to let go in Jesus name. (Amen).

Today, we shall be looking at one of the keys to letting go of offences and giving Unconditional forgiveness. *Since we live in a hurting world, there are lots of hurting ones that are spreading the hurts.* Hence, *It only takes one who has found GRACE to be able to break the cycle of hurts through the offering of Unconditional forgiveness.* Joseph did this for his brethren. He broke the cycle of hurt and unite his family in Goshen.
 
Our text described how Joseph wept aloud to the point that  the Egypgians and the house of Pharaoh heard. That must have been a serious outburst. He released something that has held him for years. Joseph bought himself a freedom by crying out before his offenders. There are times you need to release yourself from the pains your offenders have caused you. When you do such before the Lord, you gain your deliverance, and power for Unconditional forgiveness is released to you.

Do not store up the pains and offences, release them by crying out before the Lord. 

God sees tears, especially the tears of his children. He added extra years to Hezekiah's life when he saw his tears.
"....Thus saith the LORD,I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears...." Isaiah  38:5  

He even store the tears of His children in His bottle and write them in His book. what a caring Father we have. 

 _You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; [Are they] not in Your book?Psalms 56:9 When I cry out [to You,] Then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God [is] for me.Psalms 56:8-9_ 

Beloved, God sees your pains and tears, He will surely come through for you in Jesus name.


 *BIBLE READING*: Genesis 45:1-5.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, grant me the grace to be able to give Unconditional forgiveness to all offenders.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
