2 WRONGS DON¡¦T MAKE A RIGHT
Matthew 5:38-40
38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
„Ï NO BODY LIKES TO BE DONE WRONG?
„Ï HOW MANY ANRGUMENTS AND HAVE STARTED BECAUSE SOMEONE SAID- WHAT YOU SAY?
„Ï HOW RICH WOULD YOU HAVE BEEN GROWING UP IF SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU A DOLLAR EVERYTIME YOU HEARD SOMEONE SAY ¡§YO MOMMA- THEN TURN AROUND AND THEN THE OTHER PERSON TURN AROUND AND SAY YOU MOMA¡¨
„Ï HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE YOU YOU HEARD SAY- ¡§ YOU GONNA LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THAT¡¨
„Ï HOW MANY GOOD PEOPLE, RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE- HAVE LOWERED THEIR STANDADS BY CHEATING ON SOMEBODY BECAUSE THEY SADLY FULLY SAID ¡§ HE DOING ME WRONG I¡¦M GONNA DO HIM WRONG¡¨
„Ï BUT OUT OF THIS TEXT I HEAR JESUS SAID TO SOME GROWN FOLK 2 WRONGS DON¡¦T MAKE A RIGHT
„Ï I¡¦VE HEARD PARENTS UP IN THE CHURCH THE SAME THING PARENTS IN THE HOOD TELL THEIR CHURCH- TELL THEIR CHILDREN IF SOMEBODY HIT YOU, YOU BETTER KNOCK THEIR HEAD OFF.
„Ï AS A MAN OF GOD I CRINGE WHEN I HEAR THIS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT TWO WRONGS DON¡¦T MAKE A RIGHT
„Ï JESUS KNOWS THAT PAYBACK CAN BE DANGEROUS
LET¡¦S LOOK ARE SOME PROBLEMS WITH PAYBACK
#1 LOOK AT THE POSION OF PAYBACK
Hebrews 12:15
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
Ephesians 4:30-32
30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
1 Samuel 16:14-15
14But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
15And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
Job 21:25
And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
#2 LOOK AT THE PERJURY OF PAYBACK
¡KDOUBLEMINDED MAN UNSABLE
James 1
7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
¡KWHEN YOU GOT BAPTISED YOU TOLD GOD IM GONNA BE ANEW CREATURE
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
#3 LOOK AT THE PROMOTER OF PAYBACK
SATAN¡¦S WHOLE EXISTANCE IS BUILD AROUND PAYBACK
..YOU ARE YOU FATHER THE DEVIL
John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
DONT BE LIKE THE DEVIL-STAY ON THE JESUS LEVEL. LET YOUR HATERS DO WHAT THEY DO BUT MAKE SURE TO GOD YOU STAY TRUE.
