Forgive and Repent

Hi Brother/Sister

               I welcome you all in the name of the almighty lord Jesus.Today i am going to speak about Absalom David's Son..you could read about him in 2 samuel 13,14,15.Since his sister was raped by Ammon David's son.He was furious and developed a vindictive attitude towards him.This is a problem that everyone of us face.Rage,anger,dislike towards some one.If you are one among them try to forgive them.Refer to luke27-36 read those "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them" .It speaks about the love for enemies." But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."So i am not asking you to pray for your enemies or love them.First try to remove the feeling of rage from your mind which you have towards them.I know its difficult to do but not impossible.Each and every commandment given in the bible is achievable by us.Our lord wont give commandments which are beyond our threshold.when you try to do that god will eventually help you and be more passionate towards your enemies.But remember one Thing in mind if you don't forgive,Lord will also don't forgive you for your sins.Its in your hand to take a decision
                      Nowadays many Youth are not even listening to their parents.If you are one among them refer proverbs 1:8,9 "Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck.".I would like to say you a real incident which my pastor told us.Once there lived a drunkard son.His mother asked "why are you spoiling your health by drinking ".For that the son said "if i give a punch, your head would be broken".Four days later while returning home along with his friend from Bar he met with an accident and got injured in many parts.Then he said to his mom "When you tried to change me with just words i didn't repent.But lord has given me a perfect lesson".Then he promised he wont drink hereafter.Likewise Absalom also revolted against his own father David because of kingship and made David run for his life.At last he was killed by his father's forces. So never forsake your parents and listen to their advice.It will surely help you.
               Another problem most of youth faces today is love.I would like to share an incident with you.There was a brother and sister who were in deep love .Since their parents opposed their love.They decided to die and bought two bottles of poison one for each.They came to hill top and both opened the bottles and brother drank the full content of bottle.The sister seeing this got afraid of death and thrown that bottle.She went home without thinking about the brother.The brother somehow got up and went to hospital.There he was given treatment and he survived.Like this many of our youth in search of worldly love ,losing their paths in their life ultimately leading to death.Never ever think that Suicide will solve a problem and i can reach god easily.Suicide is also a form of Sin.First search for your lord ,your creator's love.Then at the right time and at the right moment god will show you the person with whom you have to spend the rest of your life.
                   Have you heard of term "Sunday Christians" Many of us would be on Sunday,so righteous, would go to church neatly dressed up ,singing songs to lord by clapping hands ,Listening attentively to pastor's message.For the whole day you would try to follow what the father said in the church.But when Monday comes its again back into that normal living.There is a famous SMS "You real character is known when you are alone".So in darkness "how you are behaving ?" pleasing to lord or else like hurting the lord.There was a famous actress who wrote in her diary "From tomorrow i would lead a pure and pristine life.But during that day while coming from club finishing her dance performance, she met with an accident and was dead.So brothers/sisters are you living a dark life inside ?Its time for you to repent.I would say a small story to you,once there lived a 11 yr old boy Every Sunday he used to go for Fishing .One fine Sunday he took his trap and needed equipments .Went to fishing .On the way he realized he forgot worms which are used as trap in the nets.So on the way he found a small hole .He let his small bottle in and he did catch some of the worms.Now he took a worm and pierced it into net .But the worm bitten his hand.Since he didn't feel a great pain  He continued doing this .Every worm bitten him.Sometime later he fell on the ground.His father who came in search of him found him lying on the ground.So he picked him and taken the child to hospital.The doctors said your son is already dead .His blood test shows he was poisoned.Those worms were nothing but a venomous neonate(baby snake).Likewise slowly each sin you do is making your soul poisonous and at last it would kill both your body and soul ."Wages of Sin is death".So This rage,anger,unknown dark sins,disobedient to lord,thought of suicide all are a form of sin.So try to repent .God will surely forgive you.Because he itself told i did not came for the righteous people,i came for the sinners.So the one who named you when you were in your mothers womb will never forget you Amen ...
