DEALING WITH THE VAMPIRE OF MALICE AND UNFORGIVING

DEALING WITH THE VAMPIRE OF MALICE AND UNFORGIVING

INTRODUCTION

Those who tolerate malice in their hearts can never be innocent. Keeping malice is an evil act that disconnects believers from the favor of God. If our hearts are comfortable with malice, then our minds are not renewed by the word of God. Not getting along with a particular person must not lead to malice and unforgiving. Believers who enthrone malice in their hearts will lose battles of sickness, infirmities, poverty and death. Offenses can’t cease in an imperfect world, but someone created in the image and likeness of God should be a channel of perfect love.

God doesn’t keep record of wrongs. We unburden our hearts when we forgive those that offended us. Unforgiveness makes men smaller than who they are. If you tie people in your heart through acrimony and unforgiveness, God will not have any place in you. Maturity must encourage us to overlook grievances. If we forgive those who offend us, God will surely forgive us. Saviours don’t keep malice because the way that leads to the top is associated with offences. Joseph and Jesus needed to forgive their betrayers because they saw the future gain of their ill-behaviors towards them.

Conclusively, malice devalues the souls of men which is the fortress of their being. When we forgive those who offended us, we enlist our hearts for exploits. The closer we are to God, the more difficult it will be for us to keep malice. Holding grudges against one another divides the church. This is the time of perfection, unity and love. Leaders must learn to be strong to give the weak all the support they can get. We must take new decision to sanctify a spiritual climate that can favor the prophetic plan of God for this season. We can say with Apostle Paul, “is no longer I that live, but Christ is alive in me” and we will definitely live like Him. Forgiving those who offended us preserves our hearts. The preserved hearts of visionary men are gifts of God.

As you peruse through the pages of this enlightening book, it will fill your heart with the love of God.
