Fear thou not, for I am with thee ……..yea I will help thee…For I thy Lord will hold your thy right hand, saying unto thee, fear not, I will help thee. Fear not, thou worm of Jacob, and ye men of Israel, I will help thee (Is.41:10-14).
Rejoice, again I say rejoice (Philp.4:4)
UNFORGIVENESS IS SATANIC DEVICE
Main Scriptures: 2Corinthians 2:9-11
More Scriptures: Rom.12:20-21, Matt. 16:23, Matt.612
For to this end also did I write that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. To whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also. For if I forgave anything to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; lest satan should take advantage of us, for we are not ignorant of his device ( 2Cor.2:9-11).
Unforgiveness is a satanic device to keep you in perpetual bondage. Unforgiveness is a tool your adversary, satan, uses to break your health and spiritual defences. Satan uses it to produce toxic in your body that will hurt your health badly. As you lead your wife and children, they will do things that may hurt you or take actions that you may be disappointed in. Regardless of the offence, God wants you to forgive them.
When Peter insulted Jesus Christ, Jesus never held it against him (Matt.16:21-23). He forgave Peter. And as s Jesus prepares to go to the Cross, He said to Peter, “Peter, satan had sought to sift you, but I have prayed for you that your faith faileth not (Lk.22:31)”. That is the sign that He had truly forgiven him. Can you imagine Jesus going to the Cross with unforgiveness in His heart against Peter, He would have missed the plan of God for His life.
Every time you hold any grudge against your wife or children, you are opening the door for the devil to come into your home. If you find it very difficult to be kind to them as a result of their past behaviours, then you have not truly forgiven them. I hear of some husbands who withhold their goodwill from their wives and children because of the offence that they committed.
Your greatest defence as the head of the family is love, the God-kind of love. The Word of God says that love covers the multitude of sin (1Pet.4:8). If you walk in love as God has commanded you towards your wife and children, it would be easy to forgive and forget. And once you begin to operate at that level of love, satan would have lost his power over your life and family and hence the doors of answered prayers will be opened to you.
The enemy of your position thrives on the ignorance of people. Don’t let him take advantage of you and destroy your glorious relationship you have with your wife and children.
SPIRITUAL EXERCISE
- Father, by the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, I declare the antics of satan null and void in my life as the head of the family.
- Father, by Your Spirit, let Your love that overcomes all sin, flood my heart continually.
- Father, give me a heart to forgive and love my wife and children truthfully, joyfully and heartily.
FAITH CONFESSION
I overcome the satanic device of unforgiveness because I am a godly husband to my wife and children in Jesus name. Amen.
