Day 19

Let me hasten to add that there is another revelation you must have for as long as you are alive, and that is- your FORGIVENESS will have to graduate to FORBEARANCE.

Let me explain--Forgiveness happens because of the limitation of man-our humanity mistakes, sin, foolishness, etc..

Forbearance is needed because of that weakness that still remains with the human person and you may have to live with it for as long as you can, that means the offence or hurt will be repeated again and again... This should mystery should be taught to everyone...

The MYSTERY of FORBEARANCE that overtime forgiveness must graduate into forbearance for you to have PEACE. Have you ever prayed for your child or someone and asked him –“ why are you living like this .” And the person says to you- I have repented- “ I will never do it again ”, then by evening the police is at your door, calling you, not the next evening, the same day- if you have someone like that don't feel bad.. Pray for them, and ask God for the gift of FORBEARANCE. At this point you don't need forgiveness, you need Forbearance. - The ability to accommodate repeated wrongs over and over again.

My dear friends- you will need to obtain forgiveness and dispense it many times in your life.  I know some of you listening to me have made up your mind to rather die than to forgive your wife, husband or child or that person who hurt you- am telling you to let go.  God is speaking to you under the sound of my voice - look- piling up list of people, for as long as you pin people down, you too will remain down.

You cannot rise when you are pinning others down. “ Cyril, you have no idea what they did to me ”, easy mi lady, my guy-easy- let go and let God. Forgive us our trespasses ... I don't care whether you are right or wrong. Once it has to do with offence. It says everybody is in the same basket... 

I encourage you to maintain an allowance for the humanity of men and women as long as you live in this world, take away the godlike perfectionistic expectations that you have of people...  

You know- sometimes- we walk around with too many unrealistic expectations from people.

A woman once -said she will never forgive me. Why? because if I had picked her call when she called me- her brother wouldn’t have died, eeeih, can you imagine- does she even have any freaking idea what my schedule is like on a daily basis, the attacks I endure on a daily basis, whether I was sick, whether I was going through my own moments or crisis- she does not care- all she knows is that she called me and I didn’t pick- you see the way we go around having unrealistic expectations. 

We get angry at people easily because we cannot have our way- forgetting that the other person is also human with his own life issues. Getting angry at everybody. Please factor the humanity of men and women in your heart or you will have heart attack everyday of your life...

Love and Compassion are the secrets of anointing at a higher level. Some of the nastiest people could also be some of the most hardworking or sincerest persons. So pray for the grace to manage relationships. 

Oh, when I learnt this principle it gave me piece of mind. Me- Kwame Cyril-nothing surprises me under this sun... My heart is prepared for anything. If I hear that the security people in my house have broken into my room and stolen everything, I will not be surprised... It is no news, no problem, after all am not the source, it is God who gave me the things they have stolen. So I give it to God and report at the police station, if they are found fine, if they are not... Jaree- Life goes on... I need peace... Make up your mind you are going to have that peace... Peace.. Peace.

There are many people today, the names of people is what makes your blood pressure to go up. At the mention of a name, then you are worked up- so you are ready to sleep then a name pops up and you cannot sleep again.. Oh this person, can you imagine how this person betrayed me...

Be patient. God can restore you... But that restoration can only happen -when you sleep and wake up, if you die-there is no hope for you in this dimensions-it is finished. Make up your mind to be at peace... Your peace is your greatest asset, don't trade it. PEACE

This revelation here is very complex revelation, the revelation is not, about God yet, it is first about you hence the first statements – *“forgive us our debts...” That every human is a debtor.

Forgive me my DEBT as I forgive others.. - bringing us into the awareness that the same reason why I need to be forgiven is the same reason why I need to forgive others.

My inability to help myself, this here is a revelation that number one- all humans are debtors, every single human- Yes we are empowered by the spirit but we debtors and human for that matter.

  That - Humans are frail and grow weary - the understanding of the fact that that we are debtors alone will make you to never be surprised at the disappointments,  the betrayals, the back biting- - if we do have this understanding, that all humans  are weak and all humans are frail- this knowledge alone will take away the heartaches-

Jesus is teaching you here, he is saying  maintain, a posture where  you are not surprised, at the behaviour of people, that you can raise a child today and he will turn against you tomorrow, like you never invested in his life- that you can get married and the man will cheat on you, that you can get betrayed and hurt in ways unimaginable, that your own church folks, people you invested can turn against you.

Jesus is saving you the possibility of a heart attack, he is saving you stress- he is keeping you healthy by giving you this revelation, that you people are capable of anything- that a good friend can turn against you-

Forgive our debts as we forgive..., that means that captured in our understanding of prayer, we must know that we are dealing with a realm and a system where humans are frail, just like we ourselves, so when we approach God and say Lord forgive us our debts, he knows we are dust. The spirit of God was put in us but in our frames we are dust and the best of every human us still human, we are only humans helped /assisted by the spirit of God-

 So that means in dealing with God, perfection is not required, it is sincerity and brokenness. Perfection is exhausting and unnecessary, No human in the long run- sustains the ability to be flawless enough, no human meets the standard of God, it is just a matter of time- your humanity will be revealed- in some greed, in lust, anger, jealousy, in pride, in pain or some other mundane thing.

The most happiest and most peaceful person's on earth are those who know that all men and women are human and are capable of anything- the good, the bad, the terrible, the ugly, the worst-.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Shalom and God bless you
