HIS JUSTICE ALWAYS PREVAILS


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). 


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME 


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 the Agagite as "the enemy of the Jews", a wicked man who harboured intense animosity towards Mordecai and the Jewish people.


Haman, being wealthy, assured the king 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’re 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.

Psalm 91:9-12; 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.

Testimony Of How I Got Born Again. REV TOM AMENKHIENAN. Pastor Chris Led Me To Salvation.

  JESUS LOVES ME! HE HAD MY LIFE ALL PLANNED OUT. I was born into a Roman Catholic family setting, with a strong influence of the Roman Catholic culture running through the entire family because my maternal Grandparents had been very committed and recognized leaders in the Roman Catholic Church. I was baptized and confirmed at an early age and soon enlisted as an Altar Boy (Mass Server). At this early age, the Priests and Reverend Fathers in charge of our local assembly (mostly foreigners, especially from Ireland), deliberately sought to groom, tailor and mentor me in the direction of becoming a Roman Catholic Priest, encouraging me to attend the Seminary once I came of age. I grew up with this background and was indoctrinated in it until I had my first encounter with another Christian Group in my Secondary School days when a group from the Scripture Union organized a fellowship in our school and preached the gospel to me. I attended a few of their fellowship meetings and tried to ...

Pastor Biodun Lawal tells a story.

  JESUS CALLED ME! My name is Pastor Biodun Lawal. I am the zonal pastor of Christ Embassy Accra, Ghana and I want to thank our man of God, our pastor, our coach and our father for the opportunity to share my salvation testimony with you. I title it Jesus Called Me. I was born and raised up in a Muslim house, my parents were Muslims. I was trained as a kid to go to Quranic School and on how to lead prayers in the mosque as well. I grew up as a Muslim learning the things that a young Muslim should do. As at that time, my parents had a lot of Christian friends and at the age of five my parents allow me to follow their friends children to church(Sunday school) and that was my first encounter with Christianity. All the things that we were taught at the Sunday school didn’t make sense to me then because I only followed the children to go and play. Then suddenly, my parents stopped me from attending the Sunday school because they had wanted me to focus on their religion which is Islam. T...
