FIRSTFRUITS FAMILY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: FORGIVING AND RELEASING PEOPLE FROM YOUR HEART.
SCRIPTURE:"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.Mat.6:14-15".
√ Forgiveness is a choice,which does not only favour the person that is guilty but favours also the person who chooses to give.This is because when you are holding another person to ransom for whatever wrong the person has done to you, you are equally holding yourself.
√ Our enemy knows that when we chose to forgive, we are release from bo***ge .But his goal is to keep us in bo***ge.No wonder he attacks our capacity to forgive and receive forgiveness.He provokes us to indulge our grieviances and hold unto our bitterness.Recognizing this strategy of the enemy to keep you bound is the first step to your freedom.
REFLECTION: Unforgiveness is a major roadblock on the frontline.it is a major stronghold and an enemy to good relationship.
√ it is a weight that makes it difficult for you to travel light.it eats you up like cancer.it spreads from it's root to every part of the body.it does not just affect the inside of you, it eats up your whole body.T.D Jakes says, " the bo***ge of Unforgiveness and bitterness is perhaps one of the strongest bo***ges that have ever been seen in the lives of God's people.it is one of the most unchecked and unresolved issues in christian living.This is because it hides under reasons and covers itself up with excuses".But the consequences is that if you don't forgive those who offended or wronged you, your heavenly father will not forgive you and your prayers would be hindered.weigh your life on the scale of God, you will understand that there is must be offense and there must also be forgiveness..
"For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.James 3:2
PRAYER:BY THE FIRE OF THE HOLY GHOST, I GET RID OF EVERY WEIGHT OF UNFORGIVING SPIRIT IN MY LIFE, I OFFLOAD EVERY LOADS AND BURDENS OF UNFORGIVENESS PILED UP IN MY HEART NOW IN JESUS CHRIST NAME AMEN..

TOPIC:LACK OF SELF-EXAMINATION
TEXT:2COR.13:5, 1JOHN 1:8-10,JAMES 1:23-25
PURPOSE: (1) TO CHALLENGE US TO EXAMINE OURSELVES, WHETHER WE ARE STILL IN THE FAITH (2COR.13:5).
(2) TO EVALUATE OURSELVES WHETHER WE ARE TOSSED TO AND FRO AND CARRIED ABOUT BY EVERY WIND OF DOCTRINE (EPH. 4:14)
(3) TO REMIND US THAT GOD'S WORD EXPOSES OUR INADEQUACIES AND TELL US WHO WE ARE (JAMES 1:23-24)
INTRODUCTION :IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE EXAMINE OURSELVES REGULARLY.SELF EXAMINATION CAN KEEP US FROM WANDERING FROM THE FAITH. KEEPING OURSELVES IN THE PROPER CHECK AND RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD TAKES EFFORT AND DILIGENCE(2PET.1:10).IT TAKES A PERSONAL AND INDIVIDUAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE MIND TO BE WHOLLY AS WE OUGHT TO BE(ROM.12:1-2),BECAUSE GOD WILL NOT PERFORM SUCH AN ACT FOR YOU. HIS WORD IS LIKE A MIRROR INTO OUR SOUL(JAMES 1:23-24).THEREFORE, MAKE PROPER APPLICATION IF WE WANT TO BE PLEASING UNTO HIM. GOD SO DESIRES THAT WE LOOK INTO OURSELVES. IT IS ONE THING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO POINT OUT OUR INCONSISTENCIES BUT THINK ABOUT THE CHANGE THAT CAN COME BY A PERSON WHO IS WHO IS WILLING TO DEAL WITH HIS OWN INADEQUACIES WITHOUT HAVING SOMEONE ELSE EXPOSE THEM FOR YOU. THERE IS A GREAT PURPOSE IN BEING HONEST WITH ONESELF IN ORDER TO CORRRCT YOUR OWN FLAWS.
WE HAVE TO ALLOW GOD'S WORD TO SHAPE US AND MOULD US INTO WHAT WE NEED TO BE. IF WE PURPOSE IN OUR MIND TO CONTINUALLY EXAMINE OURSELVES, THEN,WE CAN BE KNOWN BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT WHERE WE STAND WITH OUR CREATOR.
JOIN ME ON SATURDAY FOR THE CONCLUDING SIDE (THE PASSION AND PRODUCT OF SELF-EXAMINATION).

(B) FOR US TO JUDGE OURSELVES SO THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED (1COR.11:31-32).
