“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.” 2 Corinthians 5:17-19
Many of us have been abandoned, betrayed or abused. Actions taken against us left scars on our souls, continual anger or deep bitterness. Those offenses destroyed our peace of mind.
We have a Saviour that we abandoned. We deserted our faith to chase after lesser things. We wounded Him and heaped up injustices against Him. Still, He emptied Himself of all heavenly royalty and humbled Himself to the point of death on the cross even while we were still sinners.
When we approached Him to plead for forgiveness, He opened up His arms and poured out grace. He reconciled us to God. He chose forgiveness, washed away the sins of the past, and refused to remember them anymore.
He gave us the ministry of reconciliation. He healed our vertical relationship with the Father, so we can show others the way back to Him. Through Christ, our horizontal relationships with others can be healed too.
He gives us the ability to forgive, the power to rise up and walk away free. He breaks the strangleholds of anger and bitterness. He alone brings the hope and healing, the reconciliation and restoration, the freedom and a future. He ministered reconciliation and charges us to do the same.
LET’S PRAY.
May the Lord God Almighty, Who reconciled you to Himself, give you power to pour out grace to those who have offended you. May you forgive with the same generosity He forgave you. I rebuke every refuge of sickness in your life, and I cast them into the bottomless pit in Jesus mighty name. Any power holding your joy, happiness and success today I rebuke that powers and I cast them into the bottomless pit in Jesus mighty name.
I pray this weekend shall be the best weekend you ever have in your life, your mouth shall be full with testimonies in Jesus mighty name, Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.
