THE PLAGUE OF UNFORGIVENESS

At Christian Church Of All Nations–Almere, the atmosphere was saturated with the presence of God as believers came together in deep, heartfelt worship. Voices rose in unity, exalting Jesus Christ with passion and reverence. The Holy Spirit moved powerfully, touching lives, restoring hope, and stirring a fresh hunger for more of Him. From Almere to the nations, hearts were ignited with purpose and love. It was more than a gathering—it was a divine encounter that reminded all present of the beauty, power, and truth of walking with God!

Afterwards, a powerful sermon was preached by man of God George, when he spoke about a problem that negatively influences many Christians around the world. The sermon’s title was “THE PLAGUE OF UNFORGIVENESS”.

Unforgiveness, due to offence, is the plague, the pandemic that strikes the hearts of men today and spreads like a virus. There were many pandemics in the past that were caused by some germs or viruses and afflicted or even killed millions, but today’s plague is unforgiveness in our hearts. In fact, nursing bitterness, unforgiveness, anger, pain of the past –whether you are right or wrong- damages your heart.

Therefore, how should we deal with this? Prophet George read from the book of Matthew 6:5-15, where it is written, “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. “This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’ For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Satan’s biggest goal is to trap God’s people by using the trap of unforgiveness. This is what he uses to hold us in bondage, in bondage of our own sin, because if you cannot forgive, then you will not be forgiven! The harbouring of the spirit of unforgiveness breaks our communion with God, Prophet George stated.

And indeed, loving or forgiving your enemy is always unreasonable, unless you realise that you were an enemy of God, until He forgave you! This is why we must always forgive, not only once or twice, but 77 times, as Jesus Christ has said in Matthew 18.

It is in His will for us to remember that we have sinned and been forgiven, for it is that remembrance that creates in us a forgiving heart; a loving spirit. And what happens when you forgive? When you forgive and let go of offence, something will happen to you that cannot be explained by the natural mind! Your relationship with God will be restored, that wall that was standing between you and God will break, and that burden of sin will be lifted!

Today is a new day to take the right decision, which is to remember that you were an enemy of God, until He forgave your sins and made you a new creation!

THROUGH THE STRUGGLE, SHE LEARNED TO LEAN ON GOD!

Life can sometimes present a series of challenges that test a person’s strength on every level—physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial. When difficulties begin to overlap, even simple tasks can feel overwhelming. Health concerns, inner turmoil, and financial strain can quietly build, creating a sense of uncertainty that’s hard to shake. Yet, even in the darkest moments, when life feels hopeless, turning to God can offer peace, strength, and the hope needed to carry on!

Ms. Eliza, a Romanian residing in Germany, visited the Christian Church Of All Nations – Almere to testify to God’s goodness in her life!

She started by saying that 3-4 years ago, some health problems occurred. Normally she was an active woman, but 1 day suddenly she felt very weak; her body was not able to do what she wanted to do. Of course, Ms. Eliza was wondering what the reason for that unexpected health issue was.

A few days after, while she was still feeling weak, she saw a nightmare that was repeated 3 nights in a row. In that bad dream she was sleeping with other women, one of whom was dead. It is worth noting that she has never been attracted to women. That’s when she realised that something was not going well…

What followed after these dreams negatively affected her daily life; she could not do the house chores, she couldn’t take care of her children and could not eat normally. Last but not least, she stopped praying to God.

When Ms. Eliza visited the doctor, she was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Of course the doctor prescribed some medication, however Ms. Eliza didn’t want to follow that way, because she knew her problem had a spiritual origin.

That’s why she decided with her husband to visit CCOAN in Thessalonica. During the laying of hands, Ms. Eliza received prayer from Prophetess Evgenia. It was just a simple touch, but it was enough to change everything in her life!

Today, she boldly declares that she is free! She can eat normally, do the house chores without any problem and she can pray again to Jesus Christ! The nightmares have stopped and there is no thyroid problem anymore!

Her promise was to be always close to Jesus, while she advised the congregation to run to Jesus, no matter the problems they are facing!

If the situation that you are in now does not guarantee your future, do not despair, the end has not come, the best is yet to come! Don’t lose heart; sometimes the hardest moments come right before a breakthrough!

FROM BARRENNESS TO BREAKTHROUGH: A PROMISE WAITING TO BE FULFILLED

The journey of waiting for a child can be one of the most painful and faith-testing seasons in life. When the body says no and time keeps passing, hope can begin to fade. Medical diagnoses, failed attempts, and emotional scars often make the heart heavy. But even in the silence, God is not absent. His promises remain — and sometimes, all it takes is one word from Him to change everything. This is the case of Ms. Osazuwa.

It was orchestrated by our Heavenly Father, and the prophetic anointing of God located her as Prophet George gave her a prophetic word — a divine message full of hope and power, “No matter what people say, when Jesus says yes, nobody can say no! God wants to bless you to have those children you want to have. He will bless you with children and you will come back to give testimony with your children. You need to be set free from that thing that is blocking you from having children. Pray against miscarriage. Satan is attacking you on that, but the will of God will be done!”

Indeed, for 5 years, Ms. Osazuwa and her husband hoped and tried to have a child. Despite their desire, conception never happened. Eventually, she visited a doctor and was diagnosed with fibroids — a condition that could affect fertility. The doctor recommended surgery, which she courageously underwent.

Before the surgery, she had already suffered the deep pain of two miscarriages. And even after the procedure, another full year passed without any sign of pregnancy.

It was also revealed that there was a spiritual blockage — something unseen that needed to be broken through prayer.

Ms. Osazuwa received prayer with faith. After that moment, everything changed. Something powerful awakened inside her — joy and faith!

She left the church confident that her season is about to change. She no longer walks in despair but in expectation! She believes God has already answered her prayer, and the manifestation is just a matter of time! Out of her renewed faith, Ms. Osazuwa made a personal promise: To serve the Lord for the rest of her life!

This story is more than just about one woman — it’s a reminder to anyone who is waiting. God is not blind to your tears or deaf to your prayers. When He gives a word, it carries life, healing, and fulfillment. The promise still stands. Your breakthrough may be closer than you think. Do not despair because of your situation but trust in the almighty God. The thing that keeps us from despairing is not what we see but what we believe. And for the children of God, the best is yet to come!

In the presence of Jesus Christ, miracles unfold effortlessly—healing, deliverance, and peace flow like a river to all who believe. At Christian Church Of All Nations–Almere, faith opened the door for lives to be restored and hearts to be transformed. God responded not to perfection, but to sincere, childlike trust. Whatever burden you carry or need you face today, know that the Lord is near!
