LET RUBEN LIVE

Post date: Mar 14, 2012 1:29:25 PM

When the past was not pleasant and you continuously live in it, the future will be affected. But when forgiveness sets in, the past appears as it never existed.  Through the power of forgiveness our Lord Jesus Christ presents us faultless before His Father in heaven everyday and every time.  

The power in forgiveness opens the door for new opportunities.  True and sincere forgiveness opens the door for a new life, for acceptance, for peace and for mutual co-existence.  It turns death into life, rejection into acceptance, fear into confidence and weakness into strength.

By our past deeds, none of us in qualified to see this day.  Forgiveness relives past and present day burdens due to guilt and makes live less burdensome. This is God’s intent for you today.

We read what Ruben did to his father’s wife and the consequence that followed. His father, while blessing all his sons, placed a curse upon Ruben and refused him his rightful inheritance. Jacob said: “Ruben, you are my firstborn, my might and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity and excellency of power. Unstable as water, you shall not excel.” Genesis 49:3-4  

This curse did not only affect Ruben, it affected his generations even 450 years after; but Moses, while blessing all the descendants of Israel by their ancestral tribal names said to the descendants of Ruben; “Let Ruben live, and not die, nor let his men be few.” Deuteronomy 33:6

By these words, Moses lifted the curse and blessed Ruben’s descendants, giving them their due portion in the Promised Land.  Truly, sin definitely hinders and forgiveness truly liberates.

Christ Jesus came to announce our freedom from the sins of our fathers and ours.  In Christ all ancestral curses and hindrances are taken away, just as Moses did to the descendants of Ruben.  

Christ Jesus came to take away the guilt of our past mistakes, please stop living in the guilt of your past failures and mistake, free yourself by believing in the liberating power of Christ forgiveness.  The more you live in your past the more you forgo your future.   Settle your past with Christ now and embrace a glorious and assured future now.

Christ Jesus came to put a stop to the works and consequences of sin in our lives.  When Christ Jesus forgives you, nothing holds you down again, not even your past or the words of evil men.      

Sin deprives people of their rightful inheritance, forgiveness restores such inheritance.

Sin makes God angry with man; forgiveness takes away such anger and presents man faultless and guiltless before God.

Free yourself from guilt, believing that in Christ, your past is forgiven and is completely over, your mistakes are completely pardoned, a better future is here and you will live it with Him in joy and in full restoration.

Christ Jesus had freely forgiven you; please forgive yourself now, free yourself from self-inflicted guilt and regrets and accept His forgiveness. Forgive others also and move on to better things in your renewed life and future.

“The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 6:23

There is power in forgiveness, embrace it now. Let Ruben live; you must live and enjoy total liberation and restoration in Christ Jesus.
