TRUST GOD TO VINDICATE YOU

If you have ever been dealt with unjustly, you will know it can be a battle to maintain your personal integrity and not to seek some kind of personal vindication. It is hard to not pay evil with evil!

Scripture urges us to pray for those who persecute or mistreat us, and to trust God for our vindication.

When we leave a place, ministry or relationship we need to be very sure that our leaving is not because of something that you personally did, which you are trying to cover up by blaming someone else. Even if the cause of your leaving is not your fault – HOLD YOUR PEACE.

Although misjudged, falsely accused and condemned, because he held his peace, Jesus maintained his power and anointing.

No matter how hurt you are, don’t let the root of bitterness take hold in your spirit. Take your innermost feelings to the Lord in prayer.
Let the peace of God rule in your heart, for “…God is not the author of  confusion, but of peace…”(1 Cor 14:33)
