TEXT: Judges 9:22-57(NKJV)
Our bible reading today shows how God repaid Abimelech and the people of Shechem for their wickedness (vv. 56-57). Abimelech was the son of Gideon through his Shechemite concubine ( vv. 1-3). He conspired with his mother’s kindred in Shechem to kill his 70 brothers and destroy his father’s legacy in order to become king. Only Jotham escaped (vv.4–5) and according to his words (
vv. 19-20), God set Abimelech and his conspirators against each other until they were both destroyed (vv. 56-57)
Beloved, God repays people according to their works, either for good or for bad (Rom. 2:6, Rev. 22:12). God cannot be mocked, whatever a man sows is what he will reap (Gal. 6:7). Do not destroy others because, you want to be the only King in your space.
Proverbs 1:8-19 warns against evil association and ungodly ambitions. Are you planning evil against anyone because of your ambitions? Repent now, otherwise God’s judgement is sure to come your way. Always remember the Golden Rule, “Do to others as you would have them do to you” (Matt. 7: 12)
PRAYER: Father; purge me of every evil thought and ambition that do not glorify you in Jesus’ name. Amen
QUOTE: I will give you a garment of praise in exchange for your spirit of heaviness. Isaiah 61:3
