Most things on earth respond to the principle of sowing and reaping, and mercy is not an exception. If you want to continually enjoy God's mercy, sow mercy into the lives of those who offend or owe you.
In Matthew 18:21-35, we learn that the reason a heavily-indebted servant whose debt was forgiven had to be locked up until he paid up, was because he could not forgive his fellow servant as he was forgiven.
As a result, the forgiveness he had received was neutralized by his unforgiving stance and he ended up a debtor.

Even after your salvation, you keep asking for the blood of Jesus to cleanse you from sin no matter how weighty they are. Yet you refuse to forgive the brother who misunderstood or misinterpreted your views.
If possible, you would want different calamities to befall him; for what? Just because he did not say hello to you when he passed by or for stepping on your toes? If you cannot forgive and truly release that fellow from your heart, you have ceased from walking in love. Many people are sick and wondering why.
You will be surprised how many people are sick because of un-forgiveness, bitterness and similar character defects..
A woman in the early 80's had visited 18 different places for prayers, she finally found a church where nobody would kill her she said. One day, she rose up from her sleep and accused the leader of the church of being among those who wanted her dead.
Something was definitely wrong so she got invited for more talks and the Holy Spirit revealed as she was been counselled that she was harbouring un-forgiveness hence tormentors were tormenting her life. After probing further, she said her husband did something and she resolved never to forgive him.
If you want progress, prosperity, forgiveness and mercy, forgive those who offend you. Release them from your heart. Have your parents offended you? Forgive them. Has your spouse stepped hard on your toes? Forgive him/ her. Sow forgiveness and reap mercy. Un-forgiveness is holding back the blessings of many. Release your blessings today!
KEY POINT: The level of love or hatred in our lives can be measured By the type of thoughts we have for one another.
