*DETAILS OF TEACHING*
One of the proverbs narrated by Master Jesus, as chronicled in the Gospel of St. Matthew, featured two servants. Appropriating the situation to our contemporary day, we can say that one servant was indebted to the king to the tune of ten thousand Naira. He didn’t have the financial capacity to defray his debt. So, he begged the king profusely to forgive him his debt and the king, in his magnanimity, decided to write off the debt.

After he had left the king’s palace, he ran into one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred Naira and demanded that he paid his debt. Matthew 18:28 says in this regard, *“But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.”* The plea of his co-servant to give him some time to settle his debt fell on deaf ears. Matthew 18:30 says, *“And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.”*

The lead scriptural reference for the devotional of today is Matthew 18:34 which says, *“And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.”* This was the verdict of the king on the unforgiving servant after the report got to him that he had thrown his fellow servant into prison for owing him a pittance compared to what he owed the king and which was forgiven him.

Unforgiving spirit is another stopper of the flow of divine blessings, as we see in this parable of the Lord. The unforgiving servant in the story Jesus discussed here already had the blessing of the Lord as his debt was overwritten by the king. But his refusal to forgive his neighbor occasioned the cancellation of the pardon he had already obtained; and that led to the discontinuation of the blessing he had already received.

*FURTHER SCRIPTURE READING*
Matthew 18:35, *“So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.”*

*VITAL POINT TO NOTE*
Unforgiving spirit requires fervent and dedicated prayer warfare to tackle.

Every space occupied by unforgiving spirit in my life I release the fire of the Holy Ghost to upstage and chase it out in the name of Jesus Christ.
