Calvary Pointers Morning Showers 06 October 2023 Devotional by Reverend Ajisafe Opeyemi - Settle That Scores Now
Settle That Scores Now
TEXT: Don't say, I will get even for this wrong. Wait for the Lord to handle the matter(Proverbs 20:22 NLT).
Many times we want to get even for the offences that have been done against us. Why should he do this to me? Why should she tell such a blatant lie against me? How could she have done this to my home? How could he have done that to my business/career? Why did she do that to my children? I am going to show her the stuff am made of and what am capable of doing. She will definitely pay for this.
These are normal reactions of people that have been hurt and wounded. The feelings run deep and the urge to revenge is very strong. But God says, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord - Romans 12:19b. Therefore, refuse to yield to that urge to get even.
Yes, you should be angry at the betrayal, the back-stabbing, the manipulations and deceptions, the injustice and the insults that have been directed against you. Be angry, but do not sin. Refuse to allow the base nature in all of us to get the upper hand on you. Refuse to recompense evil for evil.
If you refuse to let go, and you allow the root of bitterness to spring up in you, you will be defiled and that root of bitterness will trouble you - Hebrews 12:14,15. That certainly is something you do not need in your life.
Rather than getting even, you should overcome evil with good, hate with love, malice with goodwill, and then enjoy the peace of God that passes all understanding, you will enjoy the comfort of the Holy Spirit and your prayers shall not be hindered.
What then should you do?
1. Pray for that person that hurt you. so badly.
2. Forgive him/her, whatever it is he/she has done.
If possible, call him/her and tell him/her you love him/her in the Lord and you are praying for him/her.
By so doing you have overcome evil with good, and you have proved that you are truly the child of your heavenly Father. And He will smile on you and shower you with His favor and goodness(Job 42:10).
Yes, you are angry, but you should not let the sun go down on your wrath. As much as possible, settle that matter today. Just one phone call can do the trick. May the blessing of the Most High rest upon your life.
Friend, if you desire blessing, settle that scores today and let God have His way in your life. No matter what the person has done you, please for heaven's sake, forgive him/her and forget. Unforgiveness can make you to miss your long awaited blessing.
Forgive today and forge ahead.
God bless you!
