Greetings Fam!

It's a good day to be ALIVE.
Every day is another opportunity to;

-get it right.
-become right (for your self, partner, job, etc).
-say sorry and make amends.
-do better (improve from wherever you stopped).
-learn, unlearn, relearn.
-discover/invent/create/recreate/innovate.
-meet new people (the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly).

The most important thing to get right is to e right with God.
Get Wisdom, this is the principal (most important thing), and with all they getting get Understanding.

Jesus Christ is the Wisdom of God, and it is the Holy Spirit who gives Understanding. Selah
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things will be added to you.

When we get the spiritual right, we have gotten the most important part of our existence right.
Please be intentional to be spiritually alive and not spiritually dead (carnal).
Don't be carried away by what you see.
There is so much more that is not seen but controls that which is seen. Selah.
When you get the spiritual right, you can tell by your response to it-
Are you still self-centered or now you live for God and others too?
The Great commission helps us to know this- that we are saved to bring others into salvation.

Forgiveness is difficult, especially when sincere.

There are people that hurt us or betrayed us in a way that cut so deep that forgiving them seems impossible.
But for us to both heal and walk with God with the right heart, we have to forgive them.

Let us pray that God should help us forgive them.
God himself knows forgiveness is difficult for us.
God help us in Jesus name.

Heavenly Father, help us to forgive like you.
Give us a heart that forgives.
If you could forgive us our own sins, help us to forgive others as well in Jesus name. Amen.

In your quiet time, forgive the person(s) in your heart/mind.
You will experience a weight lifted off your heart.
You will be able to pray for God to forgive the person and also save them.

The person is like wise simply a victim of powers of darkness.
Even pastors are not immune to being used by the devil.
In fact so many people who are offended with God today stooped going to church because of the betrayal of their pastor or prophet.
For some, it was a close mentor.
For some it was someone who promised them marriage but disappointed.
For some it was a close friend that betrayed them.

May God heal our hearts the way only He can in Jesus name. Amen

So many are still holding tribal/ethnically/racially motivated bitterness/unforgiveness.
This is one of the hardest to heal.
But for the sake of God, for Christ's sake, please heal.
Forgive whether you're right or wrong.
May God help us forgive one another for the sins of our ancestors in Jesus name. Amen

Speaking of ancestors, so many are unknowingly but silently angry with Adam and Eve.lol
This sounds funny until God healed me of it.
When you find yourself still blaming Eve for the downfall of mankind- for the curse on men to toil before feeding,
women's birth bangs and also women helplessly/foolishly falling in love with men.
Just know that you need to heal.lol

Please forgive Adam and Eve. They didn't know better and we most likely would have done the same.
Note that we were not told how long before they disobeyed God. It could have been a week, a year, a century or millennium.
Bottom line is eventually, they did.

In fact, some of us still disobey God every day, even after we have found Grace in Jesus. No be Juju be dat? lol
So abeg, make we try forgive Adam and Eve.

Some people have not forgiven their own self. This is deep.
Some times we find it difficult to forgive our own self.
Either due to decisions we made in the past that cost us a lot of our future/dreams.
Either for getting ourselves into wrong relationships, investing in business that we shouldn't have,
losing opportunities we shouldn't have due to mistakes, graduating with poor grades,
or feeling responsible for the death or misfortune of some one close to us, etc.

We cannot forgive our selves.
Only God can forgive us.
And by His forgiveness, we feel the weight of our past sins, guilts, regrets, condemnations, shame lifted off us.
For some, it is instant.
While for some it is progressive.
God will heal us spirit, soul, mind and body in Jesus name. Amen.

It is important to note that forgiveness does not mean we should become friends with the person that betrayed/hurt us.
It simply means we have made peace with them in our heart and confessed it before God.
And if need, by going to also talk it out with them, with the intention of letting it go, whether they apologize or we have to apologize.

There are people that we have no business being friends with.
Friend here refers to people we allow into our personal space to be close with- either family, colleagues, neighbors, church members, etc.

And as we learn to forgive one another and live in Peace with one another, let us also walk with Wisdom and Understanding.
Know who is your friend and who is not your friend.
Know who is indifferent, just acquaintances.
Know those who only certain activities bring you together and nothing more.
And know your enemies.

Life is not a bed of roses.
-The very fact that you're alive, you have enemies- spiritual and physical.
-The very fact that you're the child of your parents, you have enemies you inherited.
-The very fact that you're a child of God, you have enemies.
-The very fact that you're poor or rich, you have enemies who see you as competition.

May God grant us the Wisdom and Understanding where words and the minister fall short in Jesus name.
Amen and Amen.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God the Father and the Sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit
Be with us now and forever. Amen.
