DON’T AVENGE
DON’T AVENGE
Every man who is offended always wants to avenge. That is what the canal nature teaches us, but the word of God teaches us not to avenge ourselves (Romans 12:19).
There is a difference between claiming your rights and avenging yourself. To claim your right is to stand strong to gain what is yours, this is biblical. But to avenge means to repay someone for an offense committed against you. This is wrong! It is the tricks of the enemy to make you keep throwing your thoughts and strength backward. It is a way of sapping your strength by making you reflect on the weight of the offense of the past.
Saul the king was out in all his strength waiting to destroy the young David. The strongest army of Israel was employed in the battles just because of a boy. But David decided never to avenge himself and the wicked Saul killed himself. Friend, why don’t you let go and let God? Stop expending your energy on things of the past. Live all for God; He will take care of it all. But don’t let such things destroy your focus on your glory. At last, Saul died and David reigned. You are the one to reign, be wise. Peace!
PEACE: LORD,
DELIVER ME FROM THE SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE.

ON THE PAST IS A WASTE OF ENERGY”
