The Factor of Reconciliation

The Factor of Reconciliation

Ephesians 4:31 – Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice

Today is Good Friday; the commemoration of the death of Jesus on the Cross, the day Jesus died and reconciled human back to His Father, God. How was this reconciliation made possible?

On the cross, Jesus asked His father to give all the actions that was meted on and against Him – Luke 23:34. Without Christ’s forgiving all on the cross, the human race won’t have been reconciled back to God. This was the point at which the reconciliation took place. This is what forgiveness can do.

Our scripture above tells us to forgive all kind of stuff; whether we are right or wrong. Without forgiveness, there is evil speaking, malice, anger, clamour and bitterness. Without forgiveness, there can never be kindness and tender-heartedness.

The Christian life is all about forgiveness. Forgive those that have hurt you that you will be free and you will also obtain forgiveness from your Heavenly father – 2 Corinthians 2:7-8,10, Luke 17:3, Luke 11:4, Mark 11:25-26, Proverbs 20:22, Genesis 50:17. Jesus said the prayer of forgiveness as His first word on the cross because without forgiveness every other thing is a waste.


Beloved make this your celebration of Christ’s death commemoration have an impact in you; forgive all those that wronged you knowingly or unknowingly; whether they asked or not forgive them; whether they merit it or not forgive them. Forgiveness is from the heart not from the lips. When you forgive don’t build on their error anymore (count not their errors and account not their errors unto them). When you forgive them, let peace flow in your heart whenever you see them or hear of them or hear from them.

I pray that the power of forgiveness be given to us all, that we will forgive without conditions. Have a fulfilling commemoration of Christ’s death. Shalom!

Don’t Look Back!

Don’t Look Back! Luke 9:62 – And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Have you answered the call to serve God as His son and daughter? Have you totally chosen Jehovah as your God? Have you decided to leave your old ways and cleave unto God? If yes! Beloved I congratulate you. But hope you took the cost of your choice?? [Please refer to yesterday’s sermon] God doesn’t want us to look back when we have answered the call, why? This is because of the following: Firstly, it brings shame to the body of Christ and makes people to despise Christ. Looking back is to be lukewarm and to depart from the first love! [Revelation 2:4, Revelation 3:16] Secondly, looking back makes the believer to suffer backwardness spiritually and physical. The faith of the believer suffers and takes a longer time to be rebuilt. [Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...

Heart Not Garment - 2

"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

Faulty Covenant

Faulty Covenant Hebrews 8:7 [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Covenant as a strong bound that is not easily broken can be faulty. The covenant made betwixt God and the Israelites was a faulty covenant in this time of Grace but perfect in it's time. The covenant wasn't to lead sinner's unto Christ's but it was to lead them unto their destructive end quickly. The old covenant was a period of darkness and pains (because it was more by works and not by grace) but thanks to God who invalidated the old covenant and gave us the covenant of Grace where Jesus is the mediator no longer Moses. God spoken of the new covenant long ago in Jeremiah 31:31; it was manifested in Christ. This new covenant brings light to the soul. Every covenant that do not bring light to your life, be destroyed now by fire! Whatever makes you to live by work and not by grace be destroyed! For God's name sake, let everyt...
