Title: Who do you need to forgive?
“And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:12-15 KJV.
Point of Reflection:
Bitterness, resentment and un-forgiveness for wrongs done against us
can be a serious hindrance to the working of God in your life.
It is critical to periodically examine yourself and ask oneself:
Who do I need to forgive?
Who do I resent?
Whom am I bitter against?
When we are in the state of un-forgiveness all our debts to God are due.
This will hinder your prayers from being answered,
will hinder spiritual growth, hinders spiritual warfare.
It will also hinder you from experiencing the presence of God.
It hinders you from experiencing His joy, His peace and His victories.
It hinders you from hearing the voice of God
and having a victorious life as a child of God.
Forgiveness on the other hand brings you healing from the wounds of the past.
In Matthew 18: 23-35 the Lord Jesus Christ gave a parable of a servant
who owed his master ten thousand talents, as he could not pay,
he begged his master to forgive his debt, which he did.
The same servant went and found a fellow servant who owed him one hundred cents.
When he could not pay, he went and threw him in prison.
When the master heard what the servant had done,
he was angry and threw him to tormentors until he had paid all that was due.
The Lord Jesus completed this parable saying in verse 35:
"So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you,
if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.” Matthew 18:35 KJV.
Forgiving those who trespass against us is therefore mandatory
to the child of God because we also have been forgiven.
Forgiving by its very nature is painful.
Being wronged is the same as being owed a debt.
Forgiveness is letting go of the debt someone owes you.
You owed God a much bigger debt, but He forgave you in Jesus Christ.
You have been set completely free,
set those who owe you also -completely free.
Yes- let them go.
It needs to be done knowing it is a requirement for our own forgiveness.
It is our choice and an act of the will.
When you forgive you choose to let go, unconditionally.
When you are ready-
Prayer of celebrating your forgiveness and making a commitment to forgive:
Heavenly Father, thank you for sending Jesus Christ to die and shed His blood so that all my sin may be forgiven.
Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you.
I reject, renounce and denounce every working, every influence and every deception
of the enemy satan and his demons.
I have nothing in you and you have nothing in me- I was redeemed through the blood of Jesus Christ.
I ask you Father to fill and empower me with your Holy Spirit right now in the name of Jesus Christ.
I receive the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
Today I celebrate freedom from sin and guilt through the forgiveness I received in Jesus Christ.
Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for forgiving my sin through the blood you shed on the cross.
Today I forgive all who have transgressed against me from my heart.
I release all bitterness and resentment.
I set them completely free in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Year in Focus
2026 The Year of Almighty God's Special Treasure
2026 is the year of Almighty God’s special treasure.
In this year, Almighty God wants you to engage with Him as a person after His own heart who desires to accomplish His purpose, plan and will.
A person who seeks the burden of Almighty God as you pray and intercede, as you witness the love of Jesus Christ through your various platforms
and as you exercise faithful stewardship of your time, of the mysteries of God entrusted to you and of substance.
His word tells us in Psalms 89:19-23:
'Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one, and said: “I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
20 I have found My servant, David; With My holy oil I have anointed him,
21 With whom My hand shall be established; also, My arm shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not outwit him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him (NKJV).
23 I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague those who hate him.'
In 2026 there is help ordained for you from Almighty God. You have been waiting upon God with your heart focused on Him, on establishing His hand on Planet Earth.
Receive the help of God. Let the anointing of the Holy Spirit flow upon your life as you meditate on His word.
What you need to know:
Our Almighty God is a faithful God, that means He is trustworthy, He is dependable and follows things through.
His word tells us:
'He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.' I Thessalonians 5:24.
'Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.' Genesis 28:15 (NKJV).
'Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses. ' 1 Kings 8:56 (NKJV).
Remember:
'God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
20 Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.' Numbers 23:19-20 (NKJV).
(see also Isaiah 46:9-11, Isaiah 14:24-27)
What you need to understand and have a revelation of:
There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.
His word tells us:
'Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.'
Habakkuk 2:2-3 (NKJV).
Remember also:
'Now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
41And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. 'Exodus 12:40-41 (NKJV).
In fact, it was precise to the second- at midnight, at the stroke of midnight first-borns were struck and Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said -Go and serve your God.
We read in Galatians 4:4-5:
'But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.' (NKJV).
In your life and in the Ministry, you need to wait upon Him, but while you wait be busy doing what needs to be done today.
What you need to do-
a) Keep your eyes on the word of God.
His word tells us:
'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.' Colossians 3:16 (NKJV).
'Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.' John 8:31-32 (NKJV).
b) Be conscious of the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life.
We read in John 14:15-17 (AMPC):
' If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.
16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever–
17 The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you.'
c) Be in prayer.
His word teaches us:
'Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, ' Ephesians 6:18-19 (NKJV).
d) Remember your personal prayer agenda with God.
His word teaches us:
'Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”' Luke 18:6-8 (NKJV).
Psalms 91:15 tells us:
'He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.' (NKJV).
Almighty God has promised to answer you as you ask in the name of Jesus Christ.
We love you as we invite you to be counted as Almighty God's special treasure in 2026 and beyond.
As you run with the vision, we are praying for you and wish you a 2026 filled with the victory that comes from God.
Much grace and peace be multiplied to you.
In the service of Jesus Christ
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
