When He created the first man, He said it is not good for the man to be alone and said “I will make a helper suitable for him”. Many aspects of our spiritual lives depend on being together with other believers to encourage, teach, serve, and share life together – Acts 2:41-42, 46-47

INVITATION/APPLICATION: It is not good for a believer to isolate himself from the gathering of the brethren, far from counsel and covering.
Come back home, be involved, grow together, do not isolate yourself.

CENTRAL TRUTH: When we forgive each other, God will forgive us.
INTRODUCTION: Forgiveness is a conscious, deliberate decision to release
feelings of resentment or vengeance towards a person or group who has
harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness.
A good example is God deciding to blot out our transgressions knowing
fully well that we do not deserve His forgiveness.
STUDY GUIDE

1. Accept that God loves whoever offended you regardless (Eph 4:32)
– Some Christians always assume that God hates whoever they hate! This is untrue. He is Love!

One major cause of offence is lack of communication.
3. Do not keep record of the wrong-doing (1 Cor 13:5).
4. Pray – it can be hard to let go and forgive, especially in situations where the wrong against you was life-altering. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you. As long as you do not forgive, whoever offended you
has power over you. Let go and let God have His way.
B. Benefits of forgiveness:
•You will be forgiven – Mark 11:25
•Removes pain and grudge from your heart.
•Helps us have better relationship with God becoming more like Jesus
•The power others have over us is destroyed and we are able to take hold of ourselves.
•Healthier relationships
•Improved mental health, less anxiety, stress and hostility
•Improved self-esteemn
C. Practical steps to forgiving someone:
a. Don’t deny the feelings of anger, acknowledge it and make up your mind to do something about it.
b. Ask God for grace to forgive from your heart.
c. Tell yourself good reasons you need to forgive and move on with life.
d. Try not to think and talk about it too much. Seek counsel if you need to.
e. Talk it over with the person, tell him/her you have forgiven him. Your confessing it, seals it and puts the devil to shame.
INVITATION/ APPLICATION: Has someone deeply hurt you or offended
you? Decide today to forgive such person and let the love of God be spread in your heart. Do not give the devil any leeway.
CONCLUSION: Unforgiveness can lead to ill-health such as depression, stress etc. It can make room for illnesses such as cancer to grow in ones body etc. Don’t allow unforgiveness in your heart.
