Stop The Mess

Focus: Acts 7:7 KJV: And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.

Read: Numbers 23:18-24

Our God is very passionate about His beloved. From time to time, the enemy, through his senseless agents, put the beloved of God in bondage. No such act does God allow to go unjudged. When the judgment comes, it is first on the agents/instruments of the enemy used in inflicting the bondage. No matter the actions of the enemy, the Lord preserves His beloved for the purpose for which He brought him forth. It does not matter how so harsh or long the enemy may brutalise the believer, God will eventually come through for him and judge his detractors, even though they had been acting under the spell of the ruler of darkness.

The Bible tells us how Israel is the chosen nation by God, and how God rebuked kings for their sakes. He even confirmed that there is no divination against Jacob nor enchantment against Israel. Hence, every nation that put them in bondage, particularly Egypt, the Lord judged and brought Israel out to fulfil purpose by serving Him in the land of Canaan. In another breath, Haman thought of oppressing Mordecai and also the entire Jewish nation within the purview of his authority. When he was to be judged of God, the judgment he reserved for Mordecai was meted unto him. Mordecai outlived him to see to the preservation of God’s people, in the land of their oppression.

Might is not necessarily right. The fact that we are in positions to wield power over others is not a right to oppress them with such power. God is jealous concerning His anointed. And since there is no way we determine the anointing by casual look, it is safe to abstain from oppressing anyone at all, because if we don’t, we may be tampering with God’s most anointed within a generation, without knowing. That lack of knowledge will not withhold the judgment of God. Make up your mind today to stop the oppressive mess over the seemingly less powerful or underprivileged, and you will not become susceptible to the Lord’s judgment.

Prayer:

Father, I thank you for your grace over my life that arouses your jealousy whenever the kings of the earth come with the aim of oppressing me. Please keep me shielded from the acts of the wicked of this world, and according to your words, judge them that had put me in bondage in times past. Help me never to misuse the power you have given to me in any way, over any one in this life. In the end, let me reign with you as your beloved, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Please share. God bless you.
