TB Joshua
In furtherance of his teaching on the need to guard against offence, Prophet T.B. Joshua spoke about THE CHALLENGES FACING RELATIONSHIPS on
Sunday, February 14, 2016. He gave a message which dealt with issues
faced by countless people worldwide. According to the man of God, the
way we handle relationships often leads to offence but we must be
careful not to hold onto such offences to the detriment of our own
relationship with God. The more we hold onto grudges and offences, the
more we imprison ourselves. “We cannot function properly because we
are holding someone hostage of unforgiveness. We carry anger, hatred,
bitterness, hurt against someone – that is self-imprisonment. Many of us
are victims of self-imprisonment.”
With special reference to Romans 12:19-21
which admonishes Christians against anger, vengeance and hatred, the man
of God encouraged the congregation not to allow the wrongdoings of
others to cut us away from the path God has destined for us. He reckoned
that Christians must not allow the hurts and wounds of life to stand
between them and God: “Because of wounds and hurts which offences
have caused in our lives, most of us cannot function properly in our
professions. Each time you carry out the assignment, you remember
someone you have trained who has become your boss. You will not want to
give your best – and your best is needed.”
Leading by example, the man of God led the congregation in prayer, urging them to let go of the past and free all those who they have held hostage in their minds. He said, “Rise up and let us pray. Right now, begin to release yourself by forgiving those who have wronged you and promise after you leave here, that you will do restitution, in Jesus’ name.”
It was indeed an atmosphere of repentance and restitution as the choir on their part gave the congregation a great musical exhortation on the urgent need to free themselves from grudges, strife and offence.
