Volume 50 Issue 11 - November 2012 : Mokanoki

 

I am not sure whether am not sure whether what I had been saying or rather pounding on makes any sense to you.

We all love freedom but a majority of us are bound spiritually by a force that we cannot see.

My main point in this article is: Forgive other people so you can be free. I grew up so much fearfull of prison. I have never been locked up but I have a little picture of how dark the prison cell is.

That is why you should not let the person who hurt you keep you in prison.

If you let the wrong go, then God will do for you what He did for Joseph in the scripture we examined in the last issue of Kutlwano. God will always take what was meant for your harm and use it for your advantage.

What happened to you may have been painful but do not waste your pain.

God will use that pain to promote you.

Hebrews 10:30 says God will settle the cases of His people.

You may need some of your accounts settled.

Maybe somebody stole your childhood, or somebody walked  out and left you with a bunch of children to raise, or somebody

cheated  you in a business deal and you lost a lot of money.

You could easily live angry and upset with a chip on your shoulder.

 Instead, be encouraged.

God is a God of justice.

He knows every person who hurt or rather pounding on to you may have been painful but do not you and left you lonely and afraid. Nobody else may have seen it but He saw it and He knew it was not right and He is saying today, “I’m settling your accounts.

I’m making your wrongs right. I’m paying you back not just what you deserve but double.”

God said in Isaiah, “Instead of your shame you shall have double honour, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.

Therefore, in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be theirs” (61:7).

If someone lied about you and tried to make you look bad, let it go and double is on its way.

Those who hurt you? Forgive them and double is on its way.

The business partner who cheated you out of money? Get over the resentment and double is coming.

The spouse who was unfaithful? Forgive and you will see double the joy, double the peace, and double the fulfillment.

You may feel guilty about something that was not of your fault.

Maybe someone mistreated you and you blamed yourself. But if someone abused or took advantage of you, there is no reason to feel

ashamed.

Do not feel guilty. Hold your head up high. You are a child of the Most High God. Your value does not diminsh because someone

mistreated you.

You are still the apple of God’s eye. You are still His most prized possession. That situation may have been unfair but if you shake off the shame and the blame and do not let bitterness take root, God will make the rest of your life better than it would have been if the bad things had not happened.

He will pay you back with more. God will not allow one of His children to be constantly taken advantage of.

If you are in a situation where somebody is doing you wrong or has done you wrong, do not be depressed, do not give up and think life is over.

Keep believing because your payday is coming.

If your husband packed up and ran off with another woman, you do not have to be ashamed.

Do not believe those voices telling you that you are not good enough or you are not attractive enough. Those are all lies. There is nothing wrong with you, there is something wrong withhim.

You do not have a problem, he does.

If he hurt you, he will hurt the next woman too.

Keep your head high, knowing that God will bring justice to your life.

He will settle that case. In the next issue, I want us to look at how someone who is hurting, hurts others.
