Rhapsody Of Realities 30 August 2024 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): His Justice Always Prevails
TOPIC: His Justice Always Prevails (Rhapsody of Realities 30 August 2024)
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD (Isaiah 54:17).
In Esther 3, the Bible tells us the story of Mordecai, a Jew, and Haman, one of the king’s officials who had risen to a position of great honour. The Bible described Haman as “the enemy of the Jews” and an Agagite, a wicked man who harboured intense animosity towards Mordecai and the Jewish people.
Haman, being wealthy, assured the king that he would personally finance the operation of annihilating the Jews. He deceived the king into believing that the Jews were a threat to the kingdom’s stability. However, by God’s divine providence, Haman’s evil plans ultimately backfired, and it was he, Haman, who eventually got hanged on the very gallows he had prepared for Mordecai.
The Bible says, “The wicked watches the righteous, And seeks to slay him. The Lord will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged. Wait on the Lord, And keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it” (Psalm 37:32-34 NKJV). The immutable truth of Scripture assures that the “Hamans” of this world and their likes would ultimately face God’s righteous judgment.
God’s justice will always prevail over the schemes of the wicked such that the fate they intend for others becomes their lot. The Bible says in Psalm 125:3, “For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous….”
It’s also one of the reasons we pray for fellow Christians, ministers of the Gospel, and Christian leaders around the world to be protected and shielded from wicked and unreasonable men as they carry out their works of righteousness. Always pray for pastors to be shielded from all evildoers, and affirm that they’re equipped with wisdom, strength and discernment as they lead God’s flock and propagate the Gospel.
There are Christians who are courageously spreading the Gospel in places and territories that are still hostile to the message of Jesus Christ. Always pray that such Christians be strengthened and remain resilient, guided by the Holy Spirit away from harm, and to continue to be effective instruments of His love and truth. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I pray for pastors, fellow Christians, ministers of the Gospel, and Christian activists around the world today, that your mighty hand of protection rests upon them; they’re imbued with divine wisdom, discernment, and courage as they stand for righteousness and truth in the face of any kind of opposition. I pray that you strengthen their resolve and embolden them to continue their work with unwavering faith and determination, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Psalm 91:9-1: Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Psalm 89:13-14: Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, [and] high is thy right hand. 14 Justice and judgment [are] the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
2 Thessalonians 3:1-3: Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have [free] course, and be glorified, even as [it is] with you: 2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all [men] have not faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep [you] from evil.
