Scripture Reading
2 Corinthians 2:10–11 KJV
To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

Exhortation
Today, we shall be discussing the need for us to learn the little virtue that makes a big difference in spiritual warfare, forgiving.
In the book of Corinthians 2, we learnt how a member of the church was excommunicated because of his unruly behaviour and how that later on the Apostle Paul pleaded with the brethren in Corinth to forgive him.
The Apostle Paul is asked the church to forgive and receive the erred brother because he had come to understand that we are better together. When we stay together as brethren we are better off.
The devil is well aware of this and he will try everything in his power to divide us. He will move the weak to offend the strong and will try to sow seeds of discord among us but as we to step out aggressively to reach the world with the word of reconciliation, we must be determined to allow nothing to divide us. We cannot do this unless we know that we are only better together.
May the Lord help us to live in such a way that we shall be safe together! May the Lord help us to give up attitudes and choices that offend the conscience of the weak! May we make choices that will set us apart as people who fight for the unity of the church.
We are better together so forgive those who offend you. In everything you do, purpose to strengthen and sustain the bond of peace that exists between us.
In the name of Jesus, nothing shall divide and rule us anymore. Any evil device projected against you or your family or a team you work with, to divide and rule you is rebuked now!
AMEN! Stay blessed, I love you

I receive the Grace of God to maintain the bond of Peace among all my Team workers in the name of CHRIST JESUS. I see how the Holy Spirit is speaking on the mountain because this morning i was reading Psl 51 vs 10 but the verse 7 speaks about forgiveness and cleansing from our sins and the verse 10 is kind of related today’s devotion, that is asking God to create in a heart and renewing the right kind of spirit in me. i don’t have the forgiveness of God i cant forgive those that offends me but Glory to God that He has given me His forgiveness and has created that clean heart in me that i will be able know and understand forgiveness and also to forgive and maintain the bond of Peace among all, that in Unity, together we will draw more to the Kingdom of God
God Bless You Paapa
Glory to God
I don’t know but I keep reading this devotional over and over again and I want to believe that the Holy Spirit through Paapa is ministering forgiveness and letting go onto me. I was meditating on it still and i want to believe that the Holy Spirit just ministered onto me the bondage of unforgiveness. we allow people and offensive things to keep us in bondage once we refuse to forgive and let you. When someone offends you and you don’t forgive the person , you will in bondage to such person.
So anytime that you see the person, the devil will remind you of the incident, the person in question and you will change mood either angry or sad no matter how happy you were before the reminder, that sometimes when you are on a team as well as that individual, once your notice they presence either you want to walk out on the team or actually walk out on the team which effectually will affect the team and therefore being in bondage that individual whilst he or she goes about being happy and enjoining.
I receive the grace for Better Together in Jesus Name.. Amen
God Bless You Paapa
Glory to God
Amen, thanks he to God who gives us the victory. I am encouraged by all the comments. The grace of God had enabled me to forgive and my conscience is not offended anymore in Jesus name!!
