Memorise: And shall not God avenge his
own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear
long with them? Luke 18:7
An elect is a chosen or preferred person. In Christian parlance,
an elect is someone God, by His grace, has chosen to be qualified as righteous
before Him. The Bible says:
“Who shall lay any thing to the charge
of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It
is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right
hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” Romans 8:33-34
It is a pleasant thing to be an elect of God, because He watches
over His elect. He is not ashamed of them even among His holy angels, because
they are doing Him proud in this pervert generation.
“But now they desire a better country,
that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for
he hath prepared for them a city.” Hebrew 11:16
In the light of the above scripture, therefore, the elect of God
has both a moral and scriptural obligation to live in accordance to the
commandments of God. The elect is more mindful of eternal life than the
ephemeral things of this life. At times he suffers trials of cruel
intimidation, marginalisation, and poverty because he cannot sell his
conscience for a loaf of bread. This certainly made Jesus Christ assure us in
Luke 18:7
“And shall not God avenge his own elect,
which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?”
The above assertion of Jesus Christ is pleasantly reassuring to
the elect of God who has turned his back against all forms of godlessness and
wickedness. The Almighty God will always be there for all His elects provided
they cry to Him in the days of trouble (Psalms 50:15).
Beloved, are you an elect of God? If not, all it takes is for you
to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, repent of your sins
and begin to live your life ad approved by Jesus Christ in the gospels. I pray
that the benefits of the elect shall be your portion in Jesus’ name.
Action Point: Act upon John 3:3-5 and
ask God to make you one of His elects.
