VENGEANCE BELONGS TO GOD

It is one of the hardest things to do – forgiving someone that has done nothing but evil to you. As a Christian it is a requirement to forgive in spite of and regardless of how we feel because we have to represent and display the love of God, grace, mercy and compassion that God shows us. That’s why Jesus said, Father forgive them for they know not what they do (Luke 23:34). As a Christian our forgiveness from God is contingent or based on us forgiving others. Matthew 6:9-13 is where Jesus instructs us on how to pray; it is part of our contract with God to forgive.

God does not want His children to be conformed to the tactics of the world, but to be different, be transformed, leave the vengeance to Him, let Him repay the persons who do you harm. Therefore, He is asking us to love without discrimination. In other words, be sincere and not hypocritical, hate evil and do good, be kindly affectionate to each other with brotherly love, in honor give preference to one another, don’t lag in diligence, fervent in Spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfast in prayer, distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Try not to be wise in your own eyes. KEY: Repay no one with evil, provide good and honest things in the sight of men and if it is possible live at peace with everyone. (Read Romans 12:10-21)

 “Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;” Hebrews 12:15

As Hebrew 12:15 tells us we can’t afford to have a, “root of bitterness” instead of righteousness. Revenge captivates us and leads us to sin, but forgiveness liberates us so that we can serve God in spirit and truth.

I loose the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly angels to secure this word so that it reaches its intended people, according to Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19 in the omnipotent name of Jesus, Amen.

IT’S ALL IN THE PRAISE

Some people associate the scripture that says, “The Lord loves a cheerful giver,” with only money, tithes and offerings. But God loves you more when you give Him your heart, attention and time cheerfully (its value is more than the money you give). Plus remember that He owns the world, including everything and everyone in it. That is why in Psalm 100 He tells us how He wants us to come into His presence; He wants us to make a joyful noise unto Him.

“I will bless the Lord at all times His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; and healeth all thy diseases; who redeems thy life from destruction; and crowns thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; who satisfies thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles.” (Psalm 34:1;Psalm 103:1-5)

So give praise unto the Lord!
