God avenges you

Daniel 6:24 - And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.


Paul in his letter tells us not to avenge but to allow God to avenge. In today's message the same is put showing the depth of the fury of God when someone tries to harm or accuse a person of God.

Our God calls Himself - Jealous God. This word has nothing to do with envy as we understand jealousy but it has to do with possessiveness. Our God is very possessive of His people and especially of His elect. He does not like to see them harmed in any way so when someone tries to harm them He first saves them and revenges them. Sometimes He may not take action against the conspirators immediately but when He delays, He has more terrible plans and at the worst time for them.

I have many, many such testimonies which may cause a person's blood to chill.

It is very important a person is very sure when accusing another especially a person of God. There are many a time in my life I was given the task rebuke another Man or Woman of God. These times were the most difficult for me because I am aware if I add any of my own words I would have to pay dearly.

Remember our God is alive and aware of even every thought of ours. He keeps the books of record and on the Day when we come before Him these books will be opened and we will be judged accordingly.


[ Prayer Starter ]
Lord God, we pray for those who turn against your shepherds especially those who are from your flock. Lord may your grace be upon them and they realize and retreat from their evil ways. If they have already done or started on their work, may they repent and may your grace and mercy forgive them of their doings...

We make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.
