The God of Justice

We don't need statistics to tell us that the world is full of wickedness. In fact, it seems as if there is an increase in wickedness as time progreses. There are many theories about the reason for wickedness, but one of the most overlooked reasons is that people do not seek justice. As a result, few people know God as deliverer and vindicator. The majority of people who want justice resort to guns and witchcraft. In addition, the wicked continue to prosper because they mistakenly believe that God is silent, but the Bible says that one breath from God's mouth can destroy the wicked.

I asked God to avenge me for the wrongdoing my persecutors have done to my family and I in June 2008. An African witchdoctor hired by my enemies is trying to block the answer to my prayer, but I know that God will eventually give me justice.

In the Old Testament, God fought many battles for those who had a covenant with him. He also used wicked rulers to show his glory, but we must always remember that justice comes from God.

In the New Testament, Luke 18 tells the story of a persistent widow who received justice after crying out to God day and night.

The only thing we have to do to receive justice is to ask God to avenge us.

There are other scriptures in the Bible which talk of God's justice.

Proverbs 21:15: Justice is a joy to the godly, but it terrifies evildoers."

Proverbs 29:26: "Many seek the ruler's favor, but justice comes from the Lord."

Isaiah 61:8: "For I, the Lord, love justice. I hate robbery and wrongdoing."

Amos 5:7: "You twist justice, making it a bitter pill for the oppressed. You treat the righteous like dirt."

Matthew 5:6: "God bless those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied." (NLT)

2 Thessalonians 1:5-6: "God will use this persecution to show his justice and to mkae you worthy of his Kingdom, for which you are suffering. In his justice, he will pay back those who persecute you."
