Prophets Column “God Shall Avenge His Elect” By J. M. Little The born-again believer is the most misunder stood person in the world. He is also the most despised. I face that mis understanding and hatred in every phase of life. The world never will under stand the believer. You have to know the Lord Jesus Christ in order to understand the believer. Every believer knows the Lord Jesus Christ. One day the blessed Holy Spirit. came upon you, awakened you, (Eph. 2:1), and began to show you and teach you all about younwdf and the depraved state you were in and the judgment you were under, (Jn. 16:7-11). And then after that, He RE VEALED Christ to your hearl as your Lord and your Saviour, (Mt. 16:17). I know that many of you are questioning the fact 1 keep setting before you; that is, “Chirst has to be RE VEALED to your heart in order for you to be saved.” That’s' right, salvation. Now you get this, SAL VAllow IS THE REVE LATION OF CHRIST TO THE SINNER’S HEART! ’’ If Christ has not been re vealed to your heart, then you are not saved. When Bishop Cal Bennett came by tosltandlaSwith me Thanksgiving Day, I laid that out before him. Bro ther Bennett said that the preachers and church members today are on the road to Hell. I agreed with ttni, “My late pastor, L.R. Shelton Sr.,” I told Brother Bennett, “used to preach that 95 percent of our church members are lost, including preachers.” What would Bro, Shelton l say today if he came back? Call us crazy if you want, but when my Lord comes you won’t call me crazy then. You’ll see jhen that you missed Christ when i-■ ■ ^ , --—~;— i J. M. Little you are left behind. Friends, the whole world is gone! Satan has the religi ous world in his grip with the “easy believingiam” he is passing off for salvation. It would be funny if it wecpn’t so tragic, the _ mudflat on which you stake your life and the destiny of your soul.-1 weep for you, you are blind, on the road to Hell and don’t know it. Most of you who read these messages from week to week have already been added to the number that shall spend eternity in Hell. What will you do? My subject at this time is; “GOD SHALL Avenge his elect.” “And shall not God avenge His own elect, which cry day aad night unto Him? though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily,” (Lk. 18:7-8). How many believers (the elect) are paining under some false accusation by our enemies? Every believer tells us. 1 am lied to, lied and slandered to the nth degree. My Lord said, “It is impossible but that of fenses will come: BUT WOE UNTO HIM, THROUGH WHOM THEY COME! IT WERE BETTER FOR HIM THAT A MILESTONE WERE HANGED ABOUT HIS NECK, AND BE CAST INTO THE SEA, THAN THAT HE SHOULD OF FEND ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES,” (Lk. 17:1-2). Brother, that is a " weighty punishment for you. It would have been better that you had never been bom than to offend the least of God’s elect. The Lord Himself shall avenge you for offending His elect. Notice that the Lord’s elect are a heavy burdened and mourning people; “...WHICH CRY DAY AND NIGHT UNTO HIM," yes, SMART GIVING - The National Smart Set, which has donated over $24,000 to the United Negro College Fund since 1974, presented their most recent gift of $6,000 at their last convention. UNCF National Director of Special Promotions Melvin B. Shaw accepts the gift for tHb College r- 1 i .. Fund from National Smart Set President Marie Rhone (right), and Smart Set member Jeanne Heningburg (left). UNCF raises and distributes funds to 42 private, predominantly black college and universities. we cry day and night unto my Lord. It is not an easy thing to endure being slan dered and hated as the believer is. But every false accusation against the elect shall be dealt with by God Almighty. You’ll wish that day you had never lifted the sword of slander against me, and you’d give ten million worlds now just to be in my place. At the Great White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11) every elect will be completely vindicated before the world. I’m vin dicated now before the Lord, but that day you’ll see that you were guilty of what you were accusing me of. When the books are opened at the Great White Throne Judgment, all your earthly and evil deeds will be read out and you wilt, acknowledge them all. Everything that is done against or for the elect is recorded. Every slander campaign you wage against me is recorded. Every evil thought you have against the elect is recorded. I wish you would, read the 25th chapter of Matthew, the judgment mentioned there is not the final judgment mentioned in Rev. 20. The judgment of the nations (Matthew 25), the judgment seat of Christ (II Corr^nor, And the. last judgment, the Great White It is not the elect’s place to avenge his adversaries, that’s God’s business. You and I had better not tres pass on holy territory. You ieavrtrtn the hands of our Lord to deal with every enemy. I’m glad the Lord gives me grace to look to Him with every battle and enemy. I’m thankful the Lord, gave me grace to repent and believe upon Him, and He also counted me worthy to suffer for Him. Praise the Lord. GOD SHALL AVENGE HIS ELECT.
