And for the reading of God's Word, I invite everyone to open
their their Bibles to some 32, again some 32, versus one and
two. The Word of God says, blessed is
the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and
whose spirit there is no deceit. And in our New Testament reading
maybe all open our Bibles and Matthew chapter 6, Matthew
chapter 6, verse 5 to 15. Again, Matthew chapter 6, verse
5 to 15. The Word of the Lord says in the
New Testament. And when you pray, you must not
be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the
synagogues and at the street corners that they may be seen by
others. Truly, I say to you, they have
received their reward. But when you pray, go into your
room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret,
and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles
do, for they think that they will be heard for their many
words do not be like them, For your Father knows what you need
before you ask him. Pray then like this.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your Kingdom come,
your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day Our Daily Bread, and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into in temptation, but deliver us from
evil. For if you forgive others, their
transpires passes, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if you do not forgive others their chest crisis, neither will
your father forgive your trespasses.
Let us all pray, Heavenly Father.
We come before your word with humility and all knowing that it
is through your word that there is power in life.
Ohh God, prepare us. Prepare our hearts so that we
may continuously be ministered to be fed and in result we would
respond in worship and praise and in humility and brokenness.
We want to glorify you today may you be glorified banging on and
may you lead us through your word and this you pray in Jesus
name. Amen.

But David wanted but Sheba for himself and that's the problem.

Passing and to show things under the rug Hindi give them of their

dipped in apparent passing along because the reality is we have
to deal with sin and we have to take it for what it is.
Further, Christ is not saying that the person who sinned does
not have to repent, rather repentance and forgiveness are
to go together service in Luke 17 verse three, take heed to
yourselves. If your brother sins against
you, rebuke him. Any fear of parents forgive him.
Furthermore, when you forgive someone, this does not mean that
you necessarily forget. Forgive and forget Ikanga Top

forgetting. Forgiveness is not forget right?
Not just forgetting. Rather, it is a choosing to
release a person of his debt, of saying to him I forgive you of
the wrong you committed against me.
I will not allow this matter to stand between us or hinder our
personal relationship. What the Bible does teach us is
that the joy of forgiveness, also unforgiving others, comes
from the change inside us. The only thing that could lead
us to genuine forgiveness is not based on what is the external
condition for us to forgive. The only genuine reason for us
to genuinely forgive is if we have experienced the change
within us. It is because we are forgiven of
our sin, washed in Christ's blood, and renewed in the Holy
Spirit that we have a changed heart and are therefore eager to
forgive those who sin against us.

that you have granted to me a Sinner.
Yes, Lord, teach me to pray. Forgive us of our debts as we
have forgiven our debtors. And then, with the power of Your
Holy Spirit, fill me with that same grace that you have shown
to me, so that I too might receive the grace to forgive
those who sin against me. Let us all pray.
Our Heavenly Father, we come before you broke in and in in
need of your grace. Right now we continue to realise
that we have nothing to offer. We have nothing to give, and
there is nothing that we could do to set us free from our sin,
if not because of your grace. Have mercy on us, oh God,
forgive us for our hard hearts, for our pride that blinds us for
the sin that cripple us, for thinking that the joy of our
forgiveness and the ability to forgive is primarily based on us
and depends on us. But we have realised that
everything is from you, by you, through you, and for you alone.
Transform us in the image of your Son.
Convict us by your word and allow us to embrace your
forgiveness and grant them to others as well with joy.
We ask for your comfort today, Ohh Lord, and this we pray in
Jesus name. Amen.
