Daily Devotional – 7/2/18 “Hit and you may get hit back!”

You cannot be the one doing the hitting and then hollering when you happen to get hit back. What I mean by hitting is … Hurting, Ignoring, Threatening, Tormenting, Injuring, Neglecting and Grumbling against people. You get what you put out. If you hit folk, there is a chance they will hit back. If you hurt, ignore and/or torment folk; you stand the chance of being hurt, ignored and tormented back. Beloved, you can’t cry victim when you started it. Please understand, you are deemed the victim when you ARE the victim, not when you are the aggressor. And understand, this is NOT for victims of abuse and mistreatment of any kind but I am speaking to the bullies who are quick to want to strike. You know those who find joy in making others suffer. Those who are quick to start an argument about something that had nothing to do with them. Those who find it easy to demean people on social media or attack through text. Those who belittle for the fun of it. You’re the bully and you cannot cry victim when the victim of your attacks strike back. Keep your hands and words to yourself. Bible shares in Isaiah 29:20-21, “The ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who have an eye for evil will be cut down–those who with a word make someone out to be guilty, who ensnare the defender in court and with false testimony deprive the innocent of justice.”

How long do you think you can get by hurting folk? How long do you think you can get away with doing people wrong? Just because you don’t get caught, doesn’t mean you are getting away with it. God sees all. Yes, you may borrow from me and not pay ME back but you will pay IT back. You may steal and cheat and still get blessed but you will not get away with it. The only reason some of you are still being blessed in spite of your evil ways, is because of God’s compassion and love for us. You are not getting away with anything but bless your heart if you think so. I shared this before but it fits. There are some of y’all, in high places, whom God has snatched the oil from and the only reason you’re still being promoted is because of your name, not the anointing. Some of y’all are hiding behind the pretense of being holy when you’re really hellish and the only reason folk are not dying, on your watch, is because God’s hand is on His people. It’s not you boo. God hasn’t knocked you down, YET, because He’s giving you time to fix it. How long will you wait? How long will you act like this? Will you fix it before it’s too late? You can’t keep hitting and not expect to be hit back. That’s all I’m saying.
