REVENGE IS A MANIFESTATION OF THE FLESH

 

 

 

 

 

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ. I am glad to share a message of encouragement and hope.

I just want to mention that,  although we encounter many challenges and offenses in life, we should not revenge,  even if we have been hurt or angered.

The Bible says, " Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." ( Romans 12:19).

 

The title of my message is: " REVENGE IS A MANIFESTATION OF THE FLESH. "

Don't forget, offense comes with a purpose-  to destroy you and your anointing.

John 10:10 says, "The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. "

Who does the thief want to steal from, kill and destroy?  YOU!

How can he do it?

One way is by causing offense that leads to a grudge.

 

Holding a grudge simply means that you  hope for an opportunity to get revenge against the person that has offended you. 

Some people, because of the smile on their face and the snap in their step, may not look or act offended.

It can be a facade.

Deep down inside, they are waiting for just the right moment to get revenge.

 

Do you know what revenge is?

Revenge is retribution - payback. 

It waits, biding its time, patiently waiting to get  even-  or better yet -get ahead!

 

That is when the devil has a foothold in your life, and he can successfully carry out his  mission to steal, kill, and destroy.

Don't give the devil a foothold. ( Ephesians 4:27).

 

How does it make you feel when someone says something behind your  back?

Although a person of faith may not like  what is said, they don't respond by their feelings.

A Bible believing Christian lives by faith, not by their feelings. ( Romans 1:17, 2 Corinthians 5:7)

 

Instead of surrendering to their emotions, they make the decision to live in a higher level than feelings, yielding instead to the fruit of the Spirit. ( Galatians 5:22-23).

Living your life by what you feel will enable the devil to entrap you.

 

When you are led by your feelings, you become ineffective for God.

The Apostle Paul said this in regard to those who live by the flesh: " For those who live according to the flesh set their minds in the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit". ( Romans 8:5).

 

The Bible further States,  " Now the just shall live by  faith; but if anyone draws back, my soul has no pleasure in him" ( Hebrews 10:38).

And finally Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:7, " We walk by faith and not by sight."

 

When you make decisions based on offense, whether you realize it or not, you are being led by your feelings.

If the devil can manipulate you into bondage with hurtful feelings, then he will put an offense around every corner  so that  he will gain control in your life.

 

Immature Christians are led by their feelings, but mature Christians are led by their commitments to God and His Word. ( Matthew 4:4)

Will you let your feelings guide you or your commitment to God?

 

Let us be led by the Holy Spirit and subject our flesh under the power of the Holy Spirit, in order to do God's will. ( Galatians 5:15-18).

By so doing, you will not be held by the  avenging spirit.

 

Remember, revenge is a manifestation of the flesh.

Forgive and forget! 

Let go of all offenses, and be set free!

 

Don't revenge!

"REVENGE IS A MANIFESTATION OF THE FLESH!"

 

Be strengthened and encouraged in the name of Jesus!            

                     

May God richly bless you all!
