OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL???
_A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
DATE: WEDNESDAY 21ST NOVEMBER, 2018
TOPIC: THE POTATO BAG: STOP THE TORMENTORS NOW!?
BASIC SCRIPTURE: MATTHEW 18:21-35?
A university teacher told his class students to each bring a clear plastic bag and a sack potatoes. The lesson was that for everyone they refuse to forgive, he told them to choose a potato, write on it the name and date and put it in the plastic bag. Some of the bags as you can imagine were quiet heavy. He then told them to carry this bag with them everywhere for one week, putting it beside their bed at night, on the car seat when driving, etc. The hassle of each student lugging the bag around made it so clear that indeed, he/she was carry an unnecessary HEAVY LOAD. Naturally after a while, the condition of the potatoes deteriorated to a foul smell. The teacher then told the class that the rotten potato bag was a clear picture of the price we pay for keeping our pain and carrying every worry down to us in our hearts. According to Dr. Redford Williams, a stress expert, Cortisol which fuels anger, literally tears blood vessels and it causes damage to your arteries!
Continuous anger against yourself or anyone else, prevent the healing process from taking place! So once the damage is done, just a little tension or rage can trigger a fatal heart attack. God forbid! Forgiveness is one of the power you always have over the person who hurt you. Today’s basic scripture (KJV) Vs. 34 says: “…delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.” If you don’t forgive, then you will be released to TORMENTORS! Wow! It is also says these tormentors will not stop TILL you pay what is DUE! What is DUE can also mean your life is lived on MERIT AND NOT ON MERCY once you carry unforgiveness!
Oh, hear Abraham Lincoln: “The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.” Lewis Smedes wrote: “To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” George Herbert told his son: “He who cannot forgive break the bridge over which he himself must pass.” All humanity MUST cross that DIVINE FORGIVENESS BRIDGE sooner than later! You will need forgiveness from God or man someday! So, as 2018 ends, construct that bridge now! Forgive that betrayal! Forgive that injustice! Forgive that deliberate offence! Let go and let God! He is the best avenger!
_Prepare for the Lagos, OGUDU, anointing service; this Saturday, November 24th. Theme: “THIS RED SEA MUST DRY UP.” Time is 8am. It is your day! See you!_
