Revenge And Vengeance...

While growing up, this were my biggest challenges, had to make some certain wrong decisions that did not only break me but made me, it also took me to the wrong path and finally, i made it to the right path, they say experience is the best teacher, I endorse that statement 100%.

After seeing life at a very young age for a while [i dont know if have seen life yet, but for the little have seen so far], i fought with the devil, served the devil for a while [not sure i did lol, but i think i did, i was in sin] Before i decided to seek the Lord. The bible says man's goings are of the Lord .

"Man’s goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?" (Proverbs 20:24).

So that means, i was blind for a while and then my eyes were opened, God directed me to His word. This time last year, if anybody had told me that i will be reading the bible, i would have bet with my last kobo and disagreed with my last sweat.

Back then there were some certain challenges, and things i had to make quick decisions about, i did it in a wrong way and i paid for it, bible says you will pay for any wrong you do.

"But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons." (Colossians 3:25).

2years ago i would have sworn to murder anyone who provoked me, i was quick to retaliate, i was aggressive, arrogant e.t.c. But i believe i have paid for those wrongs hence why i was blind 4 so long.

As i came close to the bible, I read some very interesting passages that changed my mind on revenge and vengeance, not only my mind, it changed me too for the better, maybe it can change you too.

"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).

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. " (Matthew 5:38-39).

"Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:21).

There you have it, revenge is of the Lord, you have to live a peacèful life, repay evil with good and then be a good example to your friends and other people you mingle with. Read the bible and follow His words, and all the blessings you need will pour on you from heaven, and you will be temporarily saved. Revenge is not of God, it is a tool of the devil.

quite a masterpiece there Monsieur MEILYN. quite a masterpiece, and may I add

2 thessalonians 1 vs 6 God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you

[b]lol, yeah it was like that for me at first, but all of a sudden i started reading the bible like am watching a movie. I love the bible brahhh. Love God and then you will love His word.

As a child growing up on the island of Okokomaiko [it isnt an Island lol], I found a little booklet entitled, "This Was Your Life" which told the story of a rich man who died. He stood before God who replayed the man's life and it was found that he had rejected Jesus Christ. God then banished him to the lake of fire. I was scared. The back of the booklet said that I needed to believe in Jesus in order to escape the flames of hell, so I prayed to God and asked him to save me. I didn't know exactly what I was doing. I just knew that I needed some help from God to stay out of hell. It was like following the instructions on the back of the cake mix--I wanted to go to heaven so I followed the instructions. I didn't understand that being saved is about having a relationship with Jesus Christ.

How do you have a relationship with Christ? You have to choose Him, of course technically he is the one who takes a step towards you and then you have to reciprocate. Dont read the bible because you were asked to read it, read the bible because you want to read it on your own freewill, we read to show ourselves approved. Goto Obadiahs previous topics and read, i think that will be the first step, its not all about reading but understanding, with Obadiah u gone understand the bible and then you will read it in truth and deligence, it wont be boring anymore.

^^^ thank you very much. Yh I'm kinda "FBI~ing" Obadiah's threads/post these days..learning some one or two things, but I know I can't be like Obadiah na, when reading some of his biblical analysis, they re just too complex n d same time making so much sense. Atimes I feel or rather I do feel he is not human.
Will try work on my bible studies, I'm just 100% sure I'm NO obadiah.

loool yea u aint Obadiah but you can be more than Obadiah, it depends on how you study to show yourself approved, I know for sure Obadiah has been in the truth for not less than 2years now, and He knows so much, why? Because he studies and the Lord is revealing these things to him, he also keeps the commandment of God, wisdom belongs to Yahawah. If you can do these things, then you will definately be like or more than Obadiah. Yea, that is the first step, the Lord is leading you to the truth, keep reading his posts welcome on board bro, welcome to the truth ruth

you are wrong. Obadiah and Nahum are two different people but one in Christ... And erm, he doesnt believe, believe is an understatement, he knows its gonna happen and its gonna happen mark my words.
