Matthew 18:21-27
21* Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24* And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26* The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
This parable above all should determine our attitude toward others: a humble awareness that God has already forgiven us a debt so mountainous that besides it any person's wrongs against us shrink to the size of anthills. How we cannot forgive each other in light of all God has forgiven us? - Philip Yancey

Blessing to read your blog Rev Onesmus,many people will find themselve in Hell because they have refuse to forgive even at the dispensation of the Unmerited favour of God many prayers aren't fulfill because of the spirit unforgiveness,a major syndrome in the local church,a mong the brethren,the leadders ,the pastors and has lead to total rejection in the families.
