RESTORATION TODAY
MONDAY 19TH DECEMBER 2016
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: FREEDOM FROM PAST PAIN.
Why criest thou for thine affliction? Thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee. Jeremiah 30: 15.
God asks His people, Why do you cry out over your pain?? If there's anything more crafty than the frustration, and other negative things that come out of us and wreck our relationships, it's the inner source from which they originate.
Festering wounds from past relationships are dangerous. You may say, But you don't know how badly this person hurt me. The point is they're still hurting you, so how can you cleanse and heal the wound? How do you embrace true freedom? God's way is to tell it like it is! He doesn't put a bandage on an infected wound, He demands that the problem be dealt with. We need to understand that He's willing to repair the broken places in our lives; all He requires of us is to expose where those places are.
One of the most important steps to healing and true freedom is to forgive from the heart to acknowledge the wound and the anger, and then let it go. And it can be tough to do, but there can be no freedom or healing without forgiveness. Bitterness will eat you alive if you don't forgive. It'll wreak havoc on your present-day relationships. God will give you the grace to forgive and let it go, but you must make the choice to be cleansed of resentment by forgiving the offender. There is no other way to peace and freedom.
ACTION POINT:
Forgiveness is the way to peace and true freedom.
