OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR 26TH AUGUST 2020.
V. 15 of today’s scripture says. “And the LORD said unto him, ‘Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.’ And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.” I have always wondered why God would spare the LIFE of CAIN who killed ABEL! The Lord said: “Whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him seven- fold.” That does not make sense but the HOLY GHOST SAT ME DOWN and explained it to me! He said God was saying in CAIN’S CASE: “VENGEANCE IS MINE; DO NOT TAKE THE SWORD OUT OF MY HANDS.” DID YOU GET THAT? God did not want the work of VENGEANCE to be taken by another man! He wanted to do it Himself and He did it so well that CAIN cried out: “My punishment is greater than I can bear” (Gen 4: 13). No man knows what kind of MARK God had put on Cain! It could have been a mark of acute sickness, universal hatred or incurable agony! But whatever it was, it must have been a sign that made him an object of universal horror, PITY and avoidance! So the Holy Ghost is saying today: “LEAVE THE SWORD IN THE HANDS OF YOUR GOD; HE KNOWS BEST HOW TO USE IT TO FIGHT YOUR HATERS!” Each time you want to take REVENGE on an enemy, then you are telling God that HE IS TOO SLOW and you are taking the sword of vengeance out of His hands! Use today’s devotional to stop taking the sword out of His hands! Oh! I call Him, “JEHOVAH NISSI-THE REVENGE MASTER.” He is not called the MAN OF WAR in vain! I have seen people LIE against me! I have watched some people write terrible lies about me! I have seen gang-ups that would have killed this vision, but I have also watched God deal with EVERY ONE OF THEM in His own way and in His time! NONE ESCAPED! Please stop that REVENGE PLAN! Yes, I know there is an African proverb that says: THE AXE FORGETS, BUT THE TREE REMEMBERS, but always remember what Francis Bacon said: “A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.” In life, weak people take revenge, strong people forgive, intelligent people ignore! And sometimes, instead of crying or getting angry at the wickedness of men towards you, just determine to BE FOCUSED and SUCCEED THE MORE! Yes! Determine to smile and laugh the more! Determine to change your wardrobe if you can and look the best you can! Refuse to sit in ANGER and BITTERNESS! The best revenge is your success and happiness – your swag! It makes your haters weep secretly and it sends them to the land of “HAD-I- KNOWN” (REGRETS). Don’t take the sword from His hands!
