TOPIC: God of vengeance
BIBLE TEXT: Romans 12vs19 – Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath; for it is written, vengeance is mine, I will repay saith the LORD.
There lived a young king in Israel called Joash, whom God set on the throne via the hands of a priest (a righteous) servant of God and the kingdom knew peace and wickedness and evil works were destroyed. But as soon as the priest died and was buried with honour, and in a short space of time this young king began to depart from the teachings of righteousness and godly lessons he was taught.
Afterwards the son of this priest, spoke to the young king by the leading of the spirit of God to desist from his wrong doings and return to the LORD. But king Joash conspired and killed him in the house of God. He did not remember the kindness which the priest had done.
And it came to pass that the God of vengeance crushed the reign of Joash and he lost everything and was diseased greatly until his servants also conspired against him for the blood of the son of the priest (Zechariah) and they slew Joash. (II Chron. 24vs16-26). God will always fight for His children and surely avenge the deaths of the saints. Let us serve God with purity and not take matters into our hands.
Prayer: O God of vengeance, avenge me and my family, put my enemies to shame.
Insight: Vengeance is of the LORD, He will surely repay on our enemies.
