Foundation Six: FORGIVENESS.

To whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also: for if I forgave anything, to whom i forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it, in the person of Christ; lest Satan should get advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices (2corithians 2:10-11). In the Lord's prayer, Jesus taught that the condition for us to be forgiven by God is to forgive those that offend us.
There are many things God cannot do for you except you forgive those that offend you. Unforgiveness will put you in darkness. It gives the devil permission to operate in your life. Satan takes advantage of a heart that is filled with grudge. You must know that judgement belongs to God, do not try to take vengeance on anyone that offends you. Even as it is not wrong to correct someone that offends you, you must not hold the deeds against the person in your heart. Offences must come; you cannot prevent it, Luke 17:1. But you must leave all those that offend you to God, don't fight them by yourself or seek their destruction in your heart. Let God handle it.
The basis of your acceptance into God's family is forgiveness, for we all were dead and lost in sin until God by His mercy forgave mankind and brought about restoration achieved by the sacrifice of His son, Jesus on the cross. If God forgave you not minding your unrighteousness, then you also are duty bound to forgive all those that offend you. If you do not live a life of forgiveness, you will live in bondage and will be stagnated. Forgiveness on the other hand brings promotion. Despite all that Jesus suffered on the cross, He forgave all those that offended Him.
Unforgiveness disqualifies you from God's presence Hebrew 12:15. Thus those that wish to maintain an unbroken relationship with God must put away bitterness and an unforgiving spirit from their lives.
If you refuse to forgive, the sin that was covered will be re-opened. Devil does not have power, but he has devices and strategies. One of his strategies is to hinder you from forgiving those that have offended you. The unforgiving servant in the book of Matthew 18:32-35, was delivered to the tormentors. When you hold people responsible for unpleasant situations that happened to you, then you will find it difficult to forgive them. Forgiveness has no limit, you have to keep forgiving. Jesus told Peter to forgive his brother that has offended him seven times seventy times. This just goes to buttress the point that our forgiveness should be without limit.
Forgiveness enhances the effectiveness of your prayers whereas unforgiveness hinders the effectiveness of prayers. Mark 11:25- And when ye stand to pray forgive, if you have ought against any: that your father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Forgiving those that offend have offended you is therefore to your own advantage, you are helping nobody but yourself.

Foundation Five: BELIEF

God has the ability to do all things and will in fact grant the desires of your heart, the question is do you believe Him? Doubt and unbelief will limit His ability to help you. The only way you can be established is if you believe only what God has said about you, Isaiah 7:9. Anything you believe is possible whether it is good or evil. The power of Sonship begins with believing that the name of Jesus is above every other name.
Prayer can be answered and yet the manifestation of the answer is not seen immediately. The manifestation of the answer to your prayer is in your believing. Matthew 21:22- And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Receiving is a product of believing; you receive when you believe. Belief is not an idea that you possess, it is an idea that possesses you. Believing God's word with all your heart is what leads to faith. One practical show of belief is standing for what you have accepted even in the face of contradiction. That is how God wants your belief system to be.
You cannot adequately appreciate God for that which He has done if you do not believe that He has done all that you require from Him. Your belief in God therefore should not be that of the future expectation, but acknowledge that He has done it. You must not spend too much time praying to God to do something for you; know when to shift gear from making requests to thanksgiving, Colossian 4:2. The efficacy of your prayer springs from your belief in the completeness of the works of the cross.
 Prayer does not bring result until you believe. When you believe God's word, the saving power of God will be available to you, Romans 1:16. Those that believe that it is settled do not have to spend so much time praying and begging God to do something, all they need do is make a pronouncement and they receive their desired miracle.
There is nothing that can stop the ability of God; He is too capable to be disabled. No mountain, or enemy or even angel can hinder your miracle, only your belief can. Prayer, fasting and laying on of hands will not establish you until you believe. If your belief is wrong, you will keep praying and still not see any solution. Don't observe or remain double minded, believe and receive what God has in store for you.

Meditative Study In The Place of Intimacy.

    Meditative study of God's word is one of the ingredients of intimacy with God. It is in your meditative study of the word that you get fresh revelation of the personality of God, your personality in Christ and instruction you must obey. The word of God is the food of the Spirit; only by it can you grow spiritually. It is the mirror that helps you to discover your true identify.
You are only able to operate with boldness when you are able to discover your true self identify; therefore meditative study of God's word should be a daily issue.
    In the Garden of Eden, the devil brought about the fall of man by attacking God's instruction to Adam and Eve. That is the devil's pattern of operation; he wants you to disobey God's instruction to you. For everyday, there is a fresh instruction, you expose yourself to the destruction of that day if you do not know or keep the instruction of that day. Carryout meditative study with the intention of finding the ingredients listed below.

Get A Revelation of Who God Is:
 As you daily go through the portion of scripture you have chosen to read that day, search out a new revelation of who God is. What words are used to describe Him, what great acts are recorded about Him, what did He say about Himself? These questions will help you get a fresh identity of the personality of the Most High God, His son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. You worship Him for each new thing you find about Him.

Get A Revelation of Who You Are In Christ:
You must read carefully to get a fresh revelation of your personality in Christ Jesus and the benefits you stand to gain as a born again child of God. Knowledge brings illumination, if you do not know who you are in Christ, you will continue to suffer ignorance, Hosea 4:6.

Get An Instruction:
As a citizen of heaven and a representative of God's kingdom here on Earth, there are expectations of you. As you study that portion of the Bible, you must search out the responsibility God has placed on you as His representative and make up mind to live up to expectation. This knowledge will keep you on the right track as you go through the day.

Get A Rhema:
Every time you spend time God, He speaks. Most times, you are not patient enough to hear what He says. After meditating on God's word, keep quiet before Him and be prepared to write down revelations from His word. The more you meditate on God's word, the more equipped you are to take on life's challenges. Action is only possible when there is enough revelation inside you.

Manifestating Your Sonship

Your destination as a child of God is glory, if you don't know your destination, you never get there. There are five steps you must take for your manifestation to be seen.

These steps are:
knowing that you are a candidate of glory.
Believing in your ability to manifest God's glory.
Appreciating God for the glory.
Declaring your ability and personality in Christ Jesus.
Acting/manifesting your glory.
  
KNOW IT: You must come to the knowledge that as a believer, you have been given all things already. It is only by knowing the promises that you can be a partaker of the divine nature. Manifestation is a process, it begins by knowing. You cannot manifest until you know. Having a perfect knowledge of your sonship of God and the corresponding implications gives you power to act. When you begin to spend time with God by studying His word, the knowledge of your sonship of God will not be confirm mentally but by spiritual and divine revelation.

BELIEVE IT: Belief is a final conclusion over the issue for which relevant information has been supplied to your mind for assessment or consideration. You don't struggle to believe, belief is a product of meditation. After knowing, you must believe, but you cannot believe until you meditate on what you know. Your meditation is totally an issue of believing.

THANK GOD FOR IT: Thanksgiving becomes automatic when belief is perfect. It is an affirmation that you believe God has done it. It activate heavenly reaction or respond. Your praise will attract to your life the manifestation of the gifts and power of God's spirit. Thanks and praise to God is the greatest expression of your believe in the issue under consideration. Your praises will bring such a presence that attracts effectiveness to your prayer.

SAY IT: It takes a revelative rhema understanding for there to be a confession. Gaining the ability to make bold declaration is a process. When your thanksgiving becomes high enough, you will be able to declare what God's word says about you. You cannot say what you don't know: you can only make confident declarations after your knowledge has grown through meditation, only then can your confession be meaningful. Your utterance is necessary because the tongue controls the body. Until your tongue is changed, your life will not change. As you keep saying what God's word says concerning you, an atmosphere for acting is created around you.

ACT IT: It is natural to act what you keep professing with your mouth. Until you are able to act your sonship, it is difficult to manifest glory. When you have an opportunity to manifest what you have been saying, act without hesitation. Power is divine ability to effect changes in compliance to divine standard.

Appreciation For The Price Paid

Glory is a manifestation of God; it is a revelation of the activity of divinity. It is a fulfilment of the scripture; "as it is in heaven so let it be on Earth". Your journey to glory begins with appreciation. Until you learn to praise to God in the domain of the price He paid, you will not smell power.

You must begin to thank God everyday for Jesus who qualifies you for all of God's blessings. As you begin to do this daily your life will begin to experience unquantifiable success.
Let everything that Jesus did for your redemption so overwhelm and saturate your life that you no longer believe in contradiction. The only visa into glory is thanksgiving. The grace you enjoy is activated and sustained through thanksgiving, the more your thanksgiving, the more the grace increases upon your life.
 For you to experience glory in an increasing dimension, saturate your life everyday with thanksgiving for the price that was paid. The more spend time in thanking God for what you are expecting, the faster you will get it. The price was paid for the following significant aspects of your life: these are the things you should thank God for an a daily basis.
Thank Him that you are justified. You cannot incriminated by anything, no one can hold you ransom for what you did wrong in your past. Justified means just as if you have never committed any sin.
Thank Him for redemption. You are no longer in the hand of your enemy; you have been brought from darkness and no longer under satanic control.
Thank Him that your sins have been forgiven. Your past sins are not remembered.
Thank Him that you have been healed (1Peter 2:24). By His stripes you are healed.
Thank Him for prosperity. He became poor that you through His poverty may become rich.

Thank Him for fruitfulness, Deuteronomy 7:14.

Thank Him that you cannot be cursed. Christ took a curse on Himself when He hung on a tree, so that no curse can operate in your life.

Thank Him for wisdom; 1corithians 1:30. You cannot fail or perform poor in life.

Thank Him for who He made you in Christ Jesus; 1Peter 2:9. You are no longer who you use to be: you are now of royalty with peculiarity.

 Thanksgiving is the key to manifestation. When you catch this revelation, you will always spontaneously say ' thank you Jesus' no matter where you are.
