Memorise: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves,
but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, vengeance is mine; I will
repay, saith the Lord. Romans 12:19
Read: Ezekiel 25:12-17 (KJV)
12 Thus saith the Lord God; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah
by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I will also stretch out mine hand
upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate
from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of
my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and
according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord God.
15 Thus saith the Lord God; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have
taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will stretch out mine
hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the
remnant of the sea coast.
17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with
furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

MESSAGE
God is against His children repaying evil to
those who have done them evil. It is not in the place of any genuine child of
God to seek revenge. Open Heavens Saturday 12 November 2016:- God of vengeance
“Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for
railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that
you should inherit a blessing”
1st Peter 3:9
No one can avenge like God. This is why I don’t
worry myself about my enemies, I just report them to my father and I have the
rest of Him. When God fights your enemy, even you who was hurt will begin to
pity them. This is because there is no one that can stand the anger of the
Almighty God. Anyone you are trying to revenge, you are already playing God and
the consequence is unbearable. Society may tell you to do otherwise. Reasoning
may tell you to repay evil in return for the wrong done to you, but the
scripture demands that you act differently. You are an ambassador of Christ,
you are a peace maker, and you must do everything to prove that. In the world,
people are taught to seek revenge, but the opposite is expected from children
of God. We should hand over those who have hurt us to God. Moses handed over
the rebels to God. Joseph handed over his elder brothers to God. Job forgave
his accusers and left them to their conscience.
It is even possible that some people within your
team will for no just reason antagonise all your actions and intents. They may
show you so much hatred and make every move to work against the plan of God for
your life. Some will harbour hatred just because the Lord is prospering you.
Some may wish you bad, and go to the extent of including such wishes in their
prayer points. But you must not fight for yourself; just allow them to face the
great Avenger. We must be harmless and inoffensive so that we don’t give people
reasons to quarrel with us. We must labour to preserve peace. The world hated
Christ without a cause, yet he died for them. When they brought Him before
Pontius Pilate, they could not find any blame against Him, yet they demanded
that He must be crucified. This is the same Jesus who chose to love an unloving
world. He died for us while we were yet sinners. He is called the judge of
Israel (Micah 5:1). If He takes over your case, your enemies are in
serious trouble. If He decides to advocate on your behalf, there can never be
any appeal against His verdict. When He decides to be your witness, you can be
sure that He will put all of them to shame. Is anybody troubling your peace in
your home, office, neighbourhood, school, the Almighty God will put them where
they belong in Jesus’ name. No matter what the enemy does, your prosperity,
progress, provision and security is guaranteed in Him. The enemy that has lifted
himself against you and all the voices that are fighting against your glorious
destiny shall be truncated in Jesus name. 12 November 2016 Open Heavens. The
Lord will show up for you and take over all the battles of your life, and you
can be sure that victory is yours. The most important thing is to stay on the
Lord’s side.
Key Point
When the Lord is on your side, you can sleep
with your two eyes closed.
