OUTLINES:
1. What Does The Bible Say About Retaliation?
2. The Proper Christian Action

READ >> OPEN HEAVENS 25 JULY 2021

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT RETALIATION?

The Bible has much to say about retaliation (revenge, avengeor vengeance) that contradicts everything that feels right to
many people (lsaiah 55:9).

For instance, in Romans 12:19, believers are not expected to pay back any evil done against them. Proverbs 25:21-22 and Romans 12:20 admonish us not to stoop low to the level of the offender.

Believers should learn not to join their offenders in their errors (Romans 12:21; Matthew 5:39). Hebrews 10:30 also teaches us not to take matters out of God’s hands and insist on fixing things ourselves.

THE PROPER CHRISTIAN ACTION

Matthew 5:38-44 serve to drive home the point that a Christian, rather than avenging himself upon a brother who has done him a personal wrong should love his enemies, bless those that curse him, do good to those that hate him, and pray for those who despitefuly use and persecute him. Self-vengeance has no place in the Christian life; we should allow God to bring His vengeance on our enemies rather than taking vengeance ourselves (Romans 12:19).

As believers, we must resist the impulse to retaliate but rather live at peace with all men as much as possible (Romans 12:18). Our
job as Christians is to forgive, not retaliate (Luke 6:27-31).

When we follow God’s commands to love, forgive, and do well to those who wrong us (Matthew 5:44), we can trust that our Defender will do what is right (Psalm 20:1; Zechariah 12:8). We can also set healthy boundaries in destructive relationships (2 Corinthians 6:17; Proverbs 22:24; Ezra 10:11) and make our ways pleasing unto God (Proverbs 16:7).

CONCLUSION: The scripture enjoins us to live peaceably with all men as much as possible. Romans 12:18.

QUESTIONS
1. Is retaliation scriptural?
2. Should believers retaliate on wrongs done against them?

When I was a lecturer in the University, I had several problems.

A friend took me to see a herbalist who said I should buy a goat and bring it on foot to his house.

Imagine me, a University lecturer dragging a goat along the road. Well, I did it and the goat gave me a very tough time.

The herbalist prepared three charms to protect me against accidents.

He told me to put one in my car bonnet, the second in my car boot and the last under the steering wheel.

I did as I was told, yet in two weeks, I had three major accidents. I did need anyone to tell me to throw the charms away.

This was one of the incidences that drove me to Jesus and He turned my life around.

My dear child, I can assure you that any alternative will only lead to destruction. Jesus is the real deal.

Do you have relatives who are not born again or still practice fetish things?.

Now is the time to share the good news about Jesus’ love with them.

There is no lasting solution to problems outside Jesus, it’s only through Him that anyone can inherit eternal life.

I’VE FOUND A FRIEND IN JESUS

1. I’ve found a friend in Jesus,
He’s everything to me,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He’s my comfort,
In trouble He’s my stay;
He tells me every care on Him to roll.
He’s the Lily of the Valley,
the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

2. He all my griefs has taken,
and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tow’r;
I’ve all for Him forsaken,
and all my idols torn
From my heart and now
He keeps me by His pow’r.
Though all the world forsake me,
and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.

3. He’ll never, never leave me,
nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me,
I’ve nothing now to fear,
From His manna
He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory to see
His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight shall ever roll.

OPEN HEAVEN 25 JULY 2021 MESSAGE

God wants His children to shine as stars. From the Bible reading of today, you would see that Daniel shone and indeed outshone his colleagues.

If you haven’t done so already, you must surrender your life to God today, shun iniquity totally and begin to love righteousness if you also want to shine.

Psalms 75:6-7 says: “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.”

If you are a parent, then you have a crucial role to play in the lives of your children so that they can be stars (Proverbs 22:6).

You must give them proper training spiritually, intellectually and morally (Deuteronomy11:19).

I thank God always for my mother; she did a good job of raising me. She encouraged me to study even when other children were out playing.

I am what I am today by the grace of God and her efforts. Teachers too must be involved – at school and in the Church.

God bless my Mathematics teacher; he made a star in the subject out of me.

He usually challenged the few of us who showed an interest in the subject, to make a hundred percent in our assignments.

One day, we did and were very happy, hoping that we had finally impressed him. His reaction however kept us in check.

He said Look at you, your mates are now undergraduates and here you are bragging because you scored a hundred percent in Ordinary Level Mathematics!.

He was clearly telling us to strive harder for excellence. You can also influence your shining through hard work (Proverbs 22:29).

Children should not waste their time playing when there are more profitable things to do. Breakthroughs do not come to lazy people.

Look at Daniel, for example: he was diligent even when he was a nobody- a slave.

This young man was eventually enlisted as a minister in Babylon (Daniel 1:1-21).

If you would shine, you must also strive to obtain the blessing of your parents (both biological and spiritual) by honouring them.

My mother would always pray for me thus, when you call on one fellow, two hundred will respond.

Today, it is a reality in my life. Your light will shine, in Jesus name.

OPEN HEAVEN 25 JULY 2021 PRAYER POINT

Father, please help me to do what I should in order to shine for You from now, in Jesus name.

Today, I want you to take a self-evaluation: is there anything you have done that could land you in hell?, Today is the day of repentance and restoration.

A man of God once said when genuine revival comes, everybody, including pastors, would have one or two things to repent of.

Revival is not the working of miracles; it is an increased spiritual interest or renewal of a life of holiness, in complete obedience to the word of God.

The first step towards experiencing a revival is to realise that one has sinned or fallen short of Gods expectations, according to Romans 3:23. Fervent prayers of repentance must therefore precede revival.

In Psalms 51:1-19 we read of David praying fervently for revival and restoration after he had sinned against God.

This is where many so-called born-again Christians, particularly those who consider themselves fairly old in the faith often miss it.

They are like that Pharisee who went to the temple to display his superiority over the publican in Luke 18:10-14.

If you ever realise that you have fallen short of Gods approval and favour, put aside your ego and humble yourself before the One who can forgive and forget.

The Bible says in 1 John 2:12 “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

What the Lord is telling us in this Scripture is that a child of God should be free of sin, according to 1 John 3:8-9 which says:

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.”

However, should anyone fall into sin, such a person must quickly cry to God in remorse for revival and restoration.

The person must then have faith in the word of God and the blood of Jesus Christ for cleansing.

Plead the blood of Jesus over your life and make up your mind never to go back to sin.

OPEN HEAVEN 24 JULY 2021 HYMN

O LORD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

1 O Lord, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home:

2. Under the shadow of your throne,
your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure.

3. Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.

4. A thousand ages in your sight
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends
the night before the rising sun.
