Introduction

Forgiveness is a deliberate act of ceasing to have feelings of anger and bitterness towards someone who hurts or offends us. This is taking away all forms of resentment from the heart against the offender.

It is common knowledge in our world today that the best way to deal with one who hurts us is to seek revenge either by ourselves or through any other means possible. Some even go as far as making sure they don’t rest until they have avenged those who hurt them.

The bible makes us to understand that the best way we as Christians can avenge the hurts of others is to forgive and allow God to be the judge. Forgiveness is a must for every child of God who wants to see God move in his life. 

Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary for the remission of our sins, this even happened while we were yet sinners, he cleansed us from sin, became filthy that we might be made clean in and out. We also ought to forgive others.

Unforgiveness is a trap the devil uses to cage God’s children down and prevent them from seeing the glorious light of redemption. It ties down our joy and replace it with bitterness and anger, thereby making it impossible for us to see or hear what God is showing and saying to it.

Let us look at some of the things forgives does for a believer.

Forgiving others brings about our own forgiveness. Matt 6:12.  The forgiveness of our own sins lies in we forgiving those who have also hurt or offended us. As children of God, we are called to forbear and forgive those who hurts us as this is Gods will for our lives. Our Father in heaven takes pleasure to forgive us when we approach him seeing that we hold no sin against anyone.

Forgiving others takes away all form of anger and bitterness from us. In Eph 4:26-27. We are called not to allow the sun to go down while we are will angry. Unforgiveness encourages anger and bitterness in our hearts. When our heart is filled with bitterness, it blocks us from receiving from God because it robs us of our joy and since joy is the prerequisite to draw water out of the wells of salvation. Isa 12:3. We must then seek to forgive others so as to draw from the springs of life. An unforgiving person is never happy, always sad because he has allowed the devil to have a foot hold on him. When we forgive, we are helping ourselves also to come put of the trap of anger and bitterness set for us by the devil.

Forgiving others give God the absolute power to avenge us our hurts. Rom 12:19-21. Forgiving others frees us from the stress of avenging others, we simply hand it over to God and allow him to avenge us of those who hurt us. When we seek to revenge, we are telling God he is not needed as we can handle it ourselves, God gives way and at the end we get hurt the more. We as children of God  are not permitted to seek vengeance , we rather commit it to God and allow him take revenge on our behalf. We should father seek for the healing from the hurts of others and how to move on with our lives. 

Seeking revenge keeps us at a spot with those who offend us, but allowing God to avenge them heals us faster and moves us far above those who have hurt us.

I pray for you today that God will empower you with the spirit of forgiveness, that you will always forgive even in advance those who hurt or will hurt you, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
