Eph 4:31 [AMP]
Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind).
Nkechi was deeply offended by what Amaka did. Because of this, she kept malice and started nursing hatred in her heart for Amaka. Even though they were members of the same subgroup in the Church, Nkechi made sure that she never had to have anything to do with Amaka. She blamed Amaka for her ended courtship with bro Fidelis. Amaka told Fidelis some things about Nkechi that Nkechi was still summoning the courage to tell him.
What Nkechi did not know was that her latent hatred for Amaka was now affecting her fellowship with God. Because of this, she couldn’t pray, and things in her life only got worse. She even lost her job.
Because of all her challenges, she took out some time to seek the face of the Lord in prayer and fasting. This was when she realized that she needed to forgive Amaka. As soon as she did, she realized that she could now pray with more grace and power. The Lord answered her prayers and gave her a better job. She also got engaged to someone who loved her more than Fidelis did.
Many times, Christians walk in a fraction of their glory because they allow strife, contention and malice grow in their midst. Christians should be the most forgiving people because we are the most forgiven. We should understand mercy and forgiveness because God in Christ Jesus forgave us and wiped our record of transgression.
Go into today remembering that it is contrary to your divine nature to nurse malice and hatred against anyone. You have been given the ability to walk above these.
