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.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
