Good -Life Devotional: THE DAY OF RECKONING FOR THE WICKED 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Psalm 37:13 emphasizes God's sovereignty and justice, declaring that the wicked will face a day of reckoning. This theme resonates throughout the Bible, as God’s judgment against those who oppose Him is a consistent message. Below are other examples that align with this theme:

1) . Proverbs 16:4

"The Lord has made everything for its own purpose, even the wicked [according to their role] for the day of evil."

This verse underscores that God is in control and that the wicked are not exempt from His judgment.

2) . Ecclesiastes 12:14

"For God will bring every act to judgment, every hidden and secret thing, whether it is good or evil."

Here, the certainty of divine judgment is affirmed, highlighting accountability for all actions.

3.)  Romans 12:19

"Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for God’s wrath [and His judicial righteousness]; for it is written [in Scripture], 'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,' says the Lord."

This verse calls believers to trust God’s justice, as He will deal with the wicked in His time.

4). Revelation 20:11-15

"Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated upon it... and the dead were judged according to what they had done as written in the books."

This passage describes the final judgment, where the wicked will be judged according to their deeds.

 

5). 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9

"For after all, it is only just for God to repay with distress those who distress you... These people will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord."

This reinforces God’s promise to bring retribution on those who oppose Him and harm His people.

6.) Acts 5:1-11 (Ananias and Sapphira)

This story reveals immediate judgment for deceit, showing that God’s justice can be swift and decisive even in the New Testament era.

7.) Matthew 25:31-46 (Sheep and Goats Judgment)

Jesus speaks of the final separation of the righteous and the wicked, with the latter receiving eternal punishment.

     From Herod in Acts 12 to the final judgment in Revelation, the Bible consistently portrays God’s justice as inevitable. While the wicked may seem to prosper temporarily, their day of reckoning is certain, and this truth calls believers to trust in God’s sovereignty and justice.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power for breakthroughs.
