    This document discusses reconciliation and forgiveness. It argues that without God's grace, enemies like wolves and lambs could not dwell together in peace. Jesus taught that forgiveness is important, as no one is perfect and we all make mistakes. We should restore those who sin with gentleness, remembering that we too need forgiveness. True love covers sins and does not gossip. With the right knowledge of God, we will understand our need for his forgiveness and will not judge others. God can use any means, like sickness or setbacks, to humble us and keep us close to him.

    Broken home and reconciliation – TB

    Joshua, posted by Philemon


    Posted by REV. PHILEMON  on AUGUST 8, 2014

    “There shall come forth a Rod from the Stem of Jesse and a Branch shall grow
    out of His roots. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom
    and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of Knowledge and
    of the fear of the Lord. His delight is in the fear of the Lord … The wolf also shall
    dwell with the lamb …” Isaiah 11:1–3,6.
    ‘The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb …” these are two creatures one would
    not expect to dwell together. So, for a wolf to dwell with a lamb, this means there
    is reconciliation. Without the Gospel of God’s grace, the wolf cannot dwell with
    the lamb. There are some things that just don’t belong together. A son will never
    call his father’s murderer “Dear friend.” There are things that just don’t belong
    together; the wolf and the lamb, light and darkness, the lion and the deer.
    The Gospel of God’s grace challenges and changes everything. To His power,
    nothing is impossible.
    “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive
    him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you
    do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses” (Mark
    11:25–26).
    Here, Jesus clearly linked faith to forgiveness. The reason forgiveness is so
    important is that relationship does not involve two perfect people. There is no
    such thing as a perfect person. Those perfect people do not exist on this planet
    earth. People make mistakes — even if you are a Christian or a pastor. Our
    response to a person who makes a mistake can also be a mistake if we are not
    careful. Our concern must be twofold: not only what we do that is in error, but
    also how we respond. The reason is that you need to forgive because you need
    to be forgiven.
    Galatians 6:1 says. “Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are
    spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you
    also be tempted.” This Scripture is saying if you are spiritual, when someone
    falls, don’t rejoice; restore him
    And above all things have fervent love for one another, for ‘love will cover a
    multitude of sins’.” 1 Peter 4:8. This means, love does not discuss sin. Love does
    not gossip about a brother who has vices; love does not draw attention to sin.
    This is the problem we all have. Love is so far from many of us. We say we love
    but we don’t practice love – by our actions, by our character etc. Remember, you
    need to forgive because you need to be forgiven. God has written us into an
    unprecedented, revolutionary story of reconciliation in which hostilities are
    destroyed and enemies become friends, parents play with their children and
    peace their arms around them — a generation of vipers shall become a seed of
    saints, he joined himself to them — the wolf dwelt with the lamb. This means,
    man is a wolf to man, man is a snake to man, man is a lion to man. The right
    knowledge of God settles peace. There are different types of messages in
    churches. Some don’t even believe there are witches and wizards. Minus
    miracles, the church becomes more philosophy. You yourself, you are a miracle
    — you know you were once a tiny embryo, look at what you have become today
    — is that not a miracle? For you to sleep and wake up is a miracle and the
    answer to your prayer is miracle. If there is no answer to your prayer, you will
    stop praying, So, the answer to your prayer, is a miracle. Looking freely, dancing
    freely, shouting freely — all are miracles. You too are a miracle worker; the
    measure of your miracle may be little.
    The right knowledge of God settles peace. When you receive the right knowledge
    of God, you will know that the victim and the perpetrator stand in helpless need
    of His divine forgiveness. When you have the right knowledge of God, you will
    not put yourself in the position of judge. Rather you will be sober, realizing that
    you need to forgive, you need to be forgiven. The way and manner God executes
    His plan in our lives differs. God used a thorn to humble Paul. Who knows what
    God might have used to humble you, to keep you alive, to keep you with Him. It
    could be setback, it could be sickness. God can use any foolish thing.
    When you receive the right knowledge of God, you will not concentrate on your
    situation. The poor will not concentrate on their poverty, while the rich will not
    concentrate on their wealth because a man may be poor and yet be a friend of
    God. The right knowledge of God settles peace.
