How to Forgive a Whole Family for Neglect and Rejection



Many have been hurt by a whole family through neglect and rejection. A whole family has to do with both grandparents, parents, uncles, aunties, brothers, and sisters, etc. There is such a thing as whole family neglect or rejection because I have personally met people who have shared their stories with me how they were neglected and rejected by their whole family, none of them ever wanted to and ever helped them until someone they never knew from anywhere helped them to become who and what they are today.

Some even didn't have anyone, they had to struggle, hustle, punished themselves with jobs they were not supposed to do, some had to borrow from friends to pay fees and now they have reached where they are today. Maybe you are a victim of such situations and you feel like you don't have a biological family anymore or you may know someone who has gone through what I am talking about here. Help yourself or somebody with this solution:

I know by now you have consumed and built yourself with the strategic steps by having a willing heart to forgive, love, longsuffering, and hope. 

The next line of action is to remind yourself that you belong to a master and a greater family which is the family of God Almighty.

Ephesians 3:14-16

[14] For this reason [seeing the greatness of this plan by which you are built together in Christ], I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

[15] For Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named [that Father from Whom all fatherhood takes its title and derives its name].

[16] May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality].

There is a family both in heaven and on earth named after God in which you belong. In this family are all the riches, the joy, peace, satisfaction, successes, and all the goodies you can think of.

James 1:17- Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse].

However, you cannot access and enjoy all the wonderful treasury and goodies in this family of God you are in if you harbor all these pain and hurt caused you by your biological family. Therefore, you don't want to allow the actions of your biological family by neglect or rejection to take away your eternal joy. And that is why you have to forgive them. 

After reminding yourself of all this and having the awareness of your eternal family with its treasury, you forgive your biological family in your heart and your mind.

If any family member needs help for themselves or their kids, help them if it's in your capacity to do so. If they realize your status one day and invite you to a family meeting, make time by the direction of God to attend. You can even name a child after one of them to show that you have nothing against them, not anymore. 

You are on your way to greater blessings and breakthroughs as you begin to forgive them… in Jesus' name.

What is Anger

Image
  Decoding Anger   Anger is the first emotional response to an offense. When one is offended, the first thing he does is to get angry. Anger is also known as wrath or rage. Anger and aggression are not the same things. Anger is an emotion, while aggression is a behavior. Not everyone who feels angry is aggressive, and vice versa. It is not a sin to get angry but rather the actions you put up during your anger make it a sin. Ephesians 4:26: When angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down. James 1:19: Understand [this], my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear [a ready listener], slow to speak, slow to take offense, and to get angry. The Bible verses above show us that merely getting angry may not be a sin but rather your actions that follow your anger are the things that can make it become sin. Being angry shows that you disliked the falsehood displayed. However, anger is a very dange...

How to Choose Your Partner (Things you must consider)

Image
  Choosing Your Partner Meeting your partner can take place anywhere, but the criteria you use or the qualities you look out for are what matters whether your meeting will lead to courtship and eventually into marriage or not. This choice is not at once leading into marriage yet, but into a relationship where you are now going to study the person and look out for the other qualities that can convince you that this person is right for you to begin the marriage process. Before you choose a partner for courtship, there are certain fundamental facts/qualities you must consider first.  You should not start a relationship with just anyone and say, after all, I am now going to study to know him or her so, no problem. Is this not the reason why, when a man proposes to a woman, mostly, she will tell him that she is going to think about it? Yes, it is. The lady will use that short period to figure out whether you possess the primary vital qualities to begin a courtship with you at a...

HOME PROBLEM

Image
There are a lot of bad things that have happened to many people, and we don't want to pretend they never happened. They did happen, and many are still happening that is causing bitterness in most people in our churches, communities, families, companies, countries, etc. And the mass seems not to notice them, or they just overlooked. People are dying inside, no one to talk to concerning their hurt. Some even commit suicide as a result of these problems. Those who are still alive don't know what exactly to do, so they wish it never happened to them, but unfortunately, it has already happened.   Someone's father didn't take care of him or her, but now by the grace of God, (s)he is blessed, and the person is contemplating "can I forgive my father?". Someone also, her mother threw her away or left her somewhere when she was a baby, but through the grace of God, a good Samaritan picked her, and now she's grown up and blessed. She is now asking herself, "...
