We all go through situations that are unfair; life has thrown
you a curve, it’s not what you had planned. Even though life is not
always fair, God IS FAIR, and if you will keep his your trust in Him,
and not get bitter, but just keep moving forward, God has promised He will pay
you back for every unfair thing that’s happened. Don’t let one bad
break ruin the rest of your life, keep you from the amazing future God has in
store. What happened may have been wrong, what they did may have put you at a
disadvantage, that was unfair, but what they did cannot stop your destiny, they
don’t have the final say, God has the final say. God said “I will restore the
years that were stolen, give you beauty for those ashes, weeping may endure for
a night, but joy is coming in the morning.” Nothing that’s happened to
you is a surprise to God, God already has the restoration, vindication, new
beginning; that setback was simply a setup for God to take you to a higher
level. You’ve got to shake off the self-pity, the defeat, and get ready
for God to do something new. He’s going to pay you back for every injustice.
Exodus 3:7
Then the LORD said, “I have surely seen the
affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of
their taskmasters. I know their sufferings
God has seen every wrong that’s been done to you, every person
that hurt you, every tear you shed, every injustice; God went on to say:
Exodus 3:8
And I have come down to deliver them out of
the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and
broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
There comes a point where God says “enough is enough; I’ve seen
it, now I’m going to do something about it. I’m not going to just give
you what you deserve, but I’m going to make the enemy pay and bring you out
better than you were before.” God is a God of justice; He always makes
the enemy pay for bringing the trouble into your life. It may not happen
overnight, God is keeping the records, and He knows exactly what you’re owed.
God sees every time you do the right thing but the wrong thing happens,
take the high road and forgive, you let it go, work hard but you didn’t get the
credit, God is closely watching, you have an account with Him, He’ll make sure
you not only get what you deserve, but His justice is to pay you back with
more. Some of you have been in an unfair situation and it’s gone on
a long time. You’ve lost your passion, your fire, thinking that’s the way it’s
always going to be. God is saying to you, “I have come down to
do something about it”; you need to get ready, it’s payback time,
everything the enemy has stolen, God is going to restore - the joy, peace,
health, dreams - God is going to pay you back for the childhood you didn’t
have, for that person that falsely accused you, for the years you lost
in an abusive relationship. He has seen everything you’ve been through.
Don’t go around with a defeated
mentality, that’s going to stop God from working; you may have had more than
your share of bad breaks and could very easily get discouraged and settle where
you are. Resist that because your
attitude should be, “I’m not staying here, I know it's payback time,
restoration time, vindication time, favor time”; Almighty God has come down on
your behalf.
Psalm 27:10 (AMP)
Although my father and my mother have forsaken
me, yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child].
If you’ll just keep moving forward, being the best that you can
be, God will take what’s meant for your harm and He will use it to your
advantage. God will open doors that no man can shut; God will give
you favor and cause people to want to be good to you. You may be in a
situation where because of the poor choices of others it seems like you’re
stuck, you’ll never get out of that rut, accomplish your dreams; God knows how
to get you to where you’re supposed to be. All through the day, in your
mind, in your thoughts, you should be saying “Father, I want to thank you that
vengeance is yours and not mine. I know you’re a God of justice and that you’re
restoring the years, and the dreams, and no person’s going to keep me from my
destiny. I will become everything you created me to be.” Have that attitude of
faith. Shake off the negative comments, what people say about you doesn’t
determine who you are. Shake off the disrespect, keep your head held high, and
God will promote you in spite of what they said. One way God pays you
back is to prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies; that
means God will promote you in front of the people that were trying to hold
you down; He’ll show you favor and honor in front of those that said you’re not
good enough.
Hebrews 10:30
God is just a God and He will repay the exact
compensation owed you. He will settle and solve the cases of His
people.
Some of you have cases that need to be settled, people have
tried to push you down, make you feel inferior; you worked hard pursuing your
dream, but the bottom fell out; now you’re starting over. You could
easily have a chip on your shoulder; you’ve got to know God has promised
to settle your case, but you got to get in agreement with God and start
expecting his holy payback time.; If you want to see God pay you back, make
your wrongs right, then when things come against you, you’ll feel like being
bitter, complaining; dig your heels in, and say “I know my redeemer
lives, God’s going to turn this around, no weapon formed against me is going to
prosper, my best days are still out in my future”; you gotta have this
attitude of faith, knowing that God is a God of justice and He will settle your
case. God is for you, not against you.
God has seen what you’ve been through, every tear you’ve shed.
He knows the disappointment, the heartache you feel, and this is not the end.
It’s a new beginning. You’re not going to just come out of this barely
surviving. God’s going to make the enemy pay and bring you out better off than
you were before. God is still on the throne - He’s in complete control. Stay in agreement with God. We all have unfair
things that come against us, we all go through bad breaks, but you have to
remember God not only sees it, but He’s promised if you’ll just keep moving
forward, if you won’t get bitter, He will settle your case. The way God settles
the case is not just to turn it around, not to just make it right, God will
bring you out better off than you were before.
Isaiah 61:7
Because you got a double dose of trouble and
more than your share of contempt, Your inheritance in the land will be doubled
and your joy go on forever.
You may feel like you got a double dose of trouble, you worked
hard, but the bottom fell out, don’t get stuck there thinking that that’s
your lot in life, that you got shortchanged, that you’ll always have a disadvantage.
The truth is, that unfair situation has qualified you for double. It
doesn’t have to stop you. If you’ll have
the right attitude, God will use it to thrust you forward. You may have
had a bad break, but just don’t sit around with a chip on your shoulder. every
unfair thing that has happened has qualified you for double because God is a
God of justice. He wants to pay you back, but you’ve got to do your part; shake
off the self-pity, what they said about you, what didn’t work out, the way you
were raised, and get ready for a double dose of God’s favor, blessing, health,
peace, creativity, get ready for God to do exceeding abundantly above and
beyond. When you go through unfair situations, it’s never easy, we never
like it, but keep it in the right perspective. That person that’s talking about
you, trying to make you look bad, in a sense they did you a favor, they just
qualified you for double. That person that walked out on you, left you when you
needed them the most, don’t sit around thinking that there’s something wrong
with you, you’re inadequate, less than, blow them a kiss goodbye and get ready
for double. It’s payback time; God wants to do something new in your
life.
When you let God settle your case, it will be better than you
could have ever done it yourself; don’t be sour because of something that
you lost, or something that was taken from you, instead of being bitter and
trying to get even, stay on the high road. God sees the injustice, He knows
what they took, and if you’ll let God settle your case, He’ll not only give you
what you deserve, but God will pay you back with even more. God has the
final say. God knows how to pay you back. He’s not limited by the laws of
nature, or by what people say. When you go to work each week, remember, you’re
not working unto people, you’re working unto God. If somebody is being dishonest or playing political
games, don’t get upset, don’t try to pay them back. God is keeping the records.
He will make sure you not only get what you deserve, God will pay you back with
even more.
This is a new day, it is payback time, get ready for a
double dose of God’s goodness and favor. God is going to make the enemy
pay for bringing the trouble into your life. Instead of complaining about
it, get up in the morning and say “I know my redeemer lives!” Remember,
every difficulty, every unfair situation - that has qualified you for double. Some
of you even this week are going to see cases settled, restoration, vindication,
promotion, breakthroughs, a promise coming to pass; the God of justice is
going to show Himself strong in your life; you’re not going to just come
out, you’re going to come out better off than you were before.
