MY GREATEST VICTORY
I
had my greatest victory in my life and for my ministry the day I forgave my Dad
for all the physical and psychological abuse I received from him. Before God’s
word conquered the hate that had grown in me for my dad, I had planned to
separate myself forever from him and be on my own caring for my mum and
siblings alone, I had planned to make it in life just to proof to him I can
make it without him, I have planned to neglect him and let him reap the reward
of his abuse on me and in my pride I had said, i’ll never forgive him.
Oneday
a woman of God taught me about forgiveness and I decided to forgive my Dad and
so I went to him, knelt down and told him that i’ve forgiven him, though he
never cared whether I forgave him or not, but that day when I conquered my
pride and forgave anyway, my spirit was released and my ministry was launched
into greater height; forgiveness releases you.
Most
of the reason the power of God isn’t effective in your life is because your
heart is filled with hatred because you’ve refused to forgive someone closed to
you that the devil used to express his wickedness to you.
Joseph
was hated by his brethren and sold into slavery, yet he forgave them anyway.
David
was hated by the Saul he was helping get over his demons, yet he forgave anyway
Christ
was betrayed by His own people, yet He forgave.
Its
in forgiving that we are released into our freedom to become our destiny; are
you in the bondage of sickness that wouldn't heal though you’ve prayed and being
prayed for, are you yet unmarried though you’ve waited on the Lord on this
issue for a while, are you finding life stagnant though you work hard for
progress etc. ask yourself if you’ve allow unforgiveness to keep you in that
spiritual bondage. When you forgive, you set yourself free, when you get rid of
hatred for anyone; you release yourself for the next phase of your life.
God
bless you
