For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed towards His name

*WHY CAN'T YOU FORGIVE?*

I always tell myself that when you live your life without anyone hurting, disappointing, disgracing or offending you, then it means you never did anything worthy.

I want to tell you that there are so many people who are buried daily, and their crime is that someone they offended couldn't forgive them.

There are innocent orphans and street children out there whose crime is that someone didn't forgive their parents.

The reality is that even as you read this piece, there may be someone you have blocked on WhatsApp or facebook, or you have decided not to respond to his/ posts/messages and the person's crime is that he/she is naughty, broke your heart, disappointed you or said something that really offended you. You aren't talking to your roommate, an old friend, a family member, your Ex or that special friends because they offended you and you can’t forgive them.

Yes, I really understand you, they hurt you. He/she is annoying, rude and not worthy to be part of your life. However, my questions are: do you expect someone to forgive you if you can't forgive others? Do you think you have never offended anyone before?

The beauty of life is that it comes with disappointments and offences from people you least expect.

Unfortunately, some of us spend so much time on the disappointments and offences and end up becoming victims of all circumstances.

Remember this one thing always: Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

The fact is that the world is full of annoying, naughty and ungrateful people; you will always come across them during the gentle stroll of your life span, but the best thing to do is to deal with them with love and maturity. You can’t get everyone to behave like you. Never!

Hatred and intolerance have caused many of the world's problems and have solved none of them. We must learn to tolerate and forgive one another. We must bury the faults of others and move on with life.

As you read this piece, I beseech you to take the pain and forgive that special person you have grudges with and iron out your grievances. Master the courage and apologise to that person you have offended. The clock is ticking, man is ageing, grave is calling and we are not in charge. Life is short, you don't know how much time you have left... Live life to please God.

*Receive the grace to forgive* 🙏🙏🙏

Father! It is written “ Every good and perfect gift comes from above”, I ask Lord that You make me a channel of God’s blessings and release all these gifts through me so that the Kingdom of God will continue to expand and truly blessed in Jesus Christ Name I pray! Amen! James 1:17. Psalm 89:15.

Psalms 100:3
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

STUDY
Timothy is introduced for the first time in Acts 16:1 as someone who was “well spoken of by the brethren.” Not much
is said of the first exchange between Timothy and his future mentor Paul, but over the course of the next several years, Timothy experienced ministry, travel, and even imprisonment at the side of the man who would become his spiritual father.

Timothy dealt with issues that many emerging leaders face. Read through the following verses, asking yourself if any of the characteristics of young Timothy are true for you:

loneliness (1 Timothy 1:18-19)
trying to relate to older leaders (1 Timothy 5:1-2)
feeling content (1 Timothy 6:6-8)
lack of confidence (2 Timothy 1:5-7)
seeking freedom from old habits (2 Timothy 2:22)
staying doctrinally pure (2 Timothy 4:1-4)

Christian tradition holds that after Paul died, Timothy settled in Ephesus leading the church and guiding their doctrine and character. Paul’s words to Timothy were a gift to him at a crucial point in his ministry. Through his spiritual friendship with Paul, Timothy was able to overcome doubts and tendencies that are typical among emerging leaders. His passion for serving the church well was developed in the context of mentorship.

THOUGHTS FOR LEADERS
Many would-be leaders never get the opportunity to enjoy their passion - not because of a lack of competence, but because of a lack of character. God uses mentorship to refine raw tendencies, allowing emerging leaders to better understand their passion.

Look for ways to test your passion in different contexts. Engage different types of ministry. Talk (and listen) to people. Develop the discipline of discernment. Rather than striking out on your own, spend time forging intentional spiritual friendships with seasoned believers who can help you grow.

QUESTIONS
It’s difficult to imagine Timothy without Paul. With so much at stake, why do you think many emerging leaders are hesitant to engage in an idea like mentoring?

Who do you think enjoyed their mentoring relationship more - Paul or Timothy?

Is there anyone in your sphere of influence (church, home, community, etc.) whose friendship would spiritually benefit you? How can you initiate that relationship?

Behold, the Lord's'hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have seperated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you,that He will not hear.
