discovered Satan’s schemes, and I knew that he is literally the<br />
only enemy I have. John 10:10 says, “The thief comes to steal, kill<br />
and destroy, but I have come that they might have live, and have<br />
it more abundantly.” This scripture made so much sense in my<br />
life after God had opened my spiritual eyes. It was after this that<br />
I decided to forgive completely, and I was fully aware that I was<br />
doing it for my own good. Soon after that, I started teaching and<br />
sensitizing people about the power of forgiveness because I<br />
knew the impact it had had on my life. My painful past had got<br />
me to a place where I felt I was useless and that it was better for<br />
me to die.<br />
Physically I looked whole, but I was dying inside. The word of<br />
God says we should enjoy all the days of our lives, because it is<br />
appointed once for man to die and thereafter judgement. When<br />
a situation is beyond your control, there is nothing you can do<br />
about it. Revenge is never a solution. Even if you killed a person,<br />
it would not deliver you. Instead you would move around with<br />
guilt. The thought of killing this person would haunt you for the<br />
rest of your life. Free yourself, forgive. There is power in<br />
forgiveness. In the beginning, as I started my way to deliverance,<br />
I could not understand why one should forgive until God opened<br />
my eyes to my uncleanliness. As I write this book, I thank God<br />
for the people embarking on this process, for I am sure that<br />
some of them are already reaping the fruits of forgiveness. As<br />
human beings, we do not like such hardships. Yet if we look<br />
around us, almost all great achievements are by people have<br />
faced serious difficulties. God uses difficulties to shape us.<br />
