CELEBRATE FORGIVENESS!
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE."Then Peter came up to Him and said, Lord, how many times may 
my brother sin against me and I forgive him and let it go?[As many as] up to seven times? Jesus answered him, I tell you, not up to seven times, but seventy times seven!" (Matthew 18:21, 22 AMP)

Many people are living in the bondage of un forgiveness as a result of ignorance. When you understand the truth about forgiveness,you will forgive easily . Whenever you forgive,it is for your good. On the other hand,un forgiveness is unacceptable in the kingdom. The side effects of un forgiveness are innumerable. If you do not forgive others, God will not forgive you. Un forgiveness exposes you to all kinds of incurable diseases.
"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed......" James 5:16KJV.
This simply means settle your differences and forgive one another so you may be healed. If forgiveness can bring healing it means un forgiveness brings sickness.

Un forgiveness is a form of demonic captivity. If God does not forgive you because of your un forgiveness, His presence will not be with you. Safety is not the absence of danger but the presence of God! His absence from your life will make you vulnerable to all forms of attack. As a Christian you should act like your heavenly father because you are a god. God never recalls your offences.

The first reason why you should celebrate forgiveness is because it keeps the door firmly closed against the devil. When you do not forgive, you allow bitterness and malice, both of which are satan's keys of destruction. Celebrating forgiveness makes the power of God in your life flow unhindered. It also keeps you in good health. Ensure you always forgive those who have wronged you. If you forget how merciful and gracious God has been to you, you may find it difficult to forgive others. But when you appreciate the mercy you receive daily from the Lord you will forgive easily.

Like our opening scripture says you must keep forgiving no matter how many times you have been wronged. Jesus said you should do it seventy times seven which is four hundred and ninety. It is impossible for one person to offend you that much. Jesus was simply saying you should continue to forgive.

Today's Confession.
Father, I refuse to allow un forgiveness,bitterness and malice in my life. I have the capacity to overlook the faults and shortcomings of others in Jesus name. Amen
