SCHOOL OF LIFE: REVENGE
PROVERBS 19.11
Good sense makes a man restrain his anger, and it is his glory to overlook a transgression or an offense. (AMP)
MEDITATION
Vengeance is punishment inflicted in retaliation for an injury or offense. It's natural to react to offense in the same spirit and action of the offender but it's wise not to follow all rights in life. Discipline is the ability to show restraint in life. Most times in life we need to stoop low to conquer.
Overlooking an offense is not cowardice and revenge is not strength. Revenge is a negative by product of anger. The purpose of anger is not hatred and revenge but show of displeasure over an offense for the offendee to take corrections and make amends.
Revenge is morally wrong because it's dishonorable and scripturally wrong because vengeance is an exclusive right of God. You cannot touch it and come out clean. "I will leave the Bible aside and deal with you", "small revenge is done on earth here" are unhealthy and dishonorable words that need not be heard among children of God.
"Avenge not yourselves...for vengeance is mine" is an instruction from God not a suggestion from man. Seek a wise and meek spirit. Show restraint and give God his place.
AFFIRMATION
I am an honourable. I overlook offense
PRAYERS
Father, bless me with a meek and wise spirit in Jesus name
Good morning beloved!
