God's Wrath

Romans 12:19 ESV

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”

One of the things that disappoint most people is when they had to beg for the very thing that they worked hard for; Leniency and kindness should be exercised but it’s more downright disappointing when abused. Yesterday, I attended Sunday worship, I remember vividly what Pastor Bong said, “be joyful even if what is due to you here on earth has been delayed for its delay will inherit compounded interest in heaven, do not take vengeance to those who abuse you, for God sees everything and He is the God of justice, He is faithful to His word and His character never changes. Remember you are God’s child, just let them do what they please, their days are numbered and in due time God’s ire will be upon them.”

Have an honest heart check, are you the abused or the abuser?

Romans 13:4 ESV

For he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer.
