Forgive always.

 Matthew  6:14  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:   

Matthew  6:15  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.


 Forgiveness is an aspect of the life of every man. Everyone at every point in time would have to forgive someone or be forgiven by someone. However, as easy as it sounds, most people find it hard to come to terms with this. What really is Forgiveness? Forgiveness is "letting someone off a matter" where you were wronged. It really isn't about the person pacifying you, but you "letting the person go" as though the person never offended you in the first place.

 There are times people do hurtful and despicable things towards us, and they don't even recognize their wrongs towards us talk less of apologizing, and then this stirs up a well of hatred towards such people. Sometimes, these people recognize these wrongs and for one reason or the other do not just feel any need to apologize, then we get bitter and resentful towards such people, and then we just don't feel like setting our eyes on such folks, but for how long will this go on? Forgiveness often times is about you and not the person who offended you. When you hold on to wrongs suffered, you over time begin to have palpitations of the heart which leads to HBP(High Blood Pressure) and other heart related illnesses. Our scriptural text above talks about forgiving others because God has forgiven us, how true this is! One thing you must consciously make up your mind to is the choice and decision to always forgive people even before they apologize, it's a secret I've held on to for many years. I tell myself, "No, I'm not going to hold anyone in, I forgive him/her", the peace that comes after such statement is unfathomable. God has forgiven the whole world through Christ, and if God is our Father, we also must be like-minded as our Father. God is big enough to forgive the whole world. I am big enough to forgive all offences suffered. Forgive all offences suffered. Happy Boxing Day! Do have a great day ahead.

Count the Cost

  Luke  14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? I'd never forget a knowledge I got in my Economics class while I was in my Pre-degree programme in 2013. The lecturer asked "what comes first, consumption or production?", without any hesitation, everyone shouted " Production ". The lecturer looking at us unsatisfied with some subtle grin on his face, asked " why?" , a guy raised his hand confidently, got up and said " because we produce before consumption can take place", the lecturer laughed, and we all for a minute looked bemused with certain indistinct chatters here and there, after some minutes, the lecturer called the young man and asked "so what happens when you produce and there's no one to consume it", and for about some few seconds, there was a seeming silence in the hall, you could hear a pin drop. The loud silence was fol...
