*PRAYER POINT*: Father, please avenge over all my enemies and give me a permanent rest.

*BIBLE PASSAGE*: Romans 12:17-21

17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

*INTRODUCTION*:
It is the human nature to always revenge or to give reactions to what people say or do to us especially, when they are hurting. The physical reaction may not deal with the root of the source of the hurt. Most of the time, we may not be in the knowhow of the root of our hurts, but when we surrender the hurt and its source unto God, He knows how to deal with them even beyond our wildest imagination.

*MEMORY VERSE*:
“O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew Thyself..” – Psalm 94:1

*TEXT REVIEW*: Romans 12:17-21

i. Never should your actions be a cause to revenge.
ii. Love covers multitude of sin.
iii. Avoid conflict/fight and live in peace with all men.
iv. The battle is of the Lord.
v. God is just and Righteous. You should count on His Judgement.

*LESSON OUTLINE*
*WHY YOU SHOULD ALLOW GOD TO AVENGE YOUR ENEMIES*:

1. Every hurt and its root is planned and devised by the devil.
2. The human host used by the devil may be unaware until he/she has been used.
3. God knows and understands the root of all evil devices.
4. God's action is to deal with the evil and to ultimately put them to shame.
5. God's action is complete, total and permanent.
6. Human action is from the flesh, temporary and partial.
7. God's judgement is sometimes arranged to bless or to promote you.

*SUMMARY*:
God's Judgement can be trusted, never avenge your enemies.

*CONCLUSION*:
Sometimes when you want to revenge, you receive more hurts or injury. So, why not leave the revenge to Him. God sees everything, but we see just a little. Let the One who sees everything take up total revenge against our enemies.
Do not act by yourself or through any other person or means. Let your God arise and let Him scatter His enemies (Psalm 68:1-3), because your enemies are God's enemies. Exodus 23:22

*ASSIGNMENT:*
Take time to and forgive all your offender even if you have to hand them over to God's Judgment.

*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Father, from today, turn all my enemies to Your enemies in Jesus name.
2. My Lord, my God, wherever the enemies are planning my hurt and downfall, please arise and scatter them, in Jesus name.
3. Father, arise and avenge all enemies of Nigeria in Jesus name.
4. Father, please arise and avenge all enemies of RCCG worldwide.
5. Father, in every way and means, the enemies may raise their ugly heads, please send confusion into their camp in Jesus' name.
