God Don't Play About Me

Dr Dharius Daniels·Change Church

Sunday, August 4, 2024

Summary

In this message from the Book of Nahum, Dr. Dharius Daniels provides a biblical blueprint for how believers should handle being mishandled by others. Rather than allowing mistreatment to steal our peace or provoke us into revenge, we can trust that God perceives our persecution, personalizes our pain, and holds our persecutors accountable. Ultimately, how we manage ourselves after being mismanaged determines our outcome, knowing that no weapon formed against us can stop God's agenda.

Pastor's Points

1.God perceives the persecution
2.God personalizes the persecution
3.God's got a plan for the persecutors
4.God has a promise for the persecuted

Key Points

1.God perceives the persecution: Even when God seems silent during injustice, He sees and hears everything done against you.
2.God personalizes the persecution: When someone touches or mistreats one of God's children, He takes it personally as a parent would.
3.God's got a plan for the persecutors: God will bring trouble to an end in His own timing and way without requiring your retaliation.
4.God has a promise for the persecuted: God promises His presence, strength, and upholding grace in the midst of trials.
5.When someone consciously or unconsciously undermines God's agenda for your life, God labels that person an enemy for that season.
6.People's mismanagement of you impacts you, but how you manage yourself after being mismanaged is what dictates your outcome.
7.Whoever controls your mood, peace, or joy becomes your master.
8.True repentance requires a change in action, whereas remorse is merely a feeling.
9.Scriptures like 'no weapon formed against you shall prosper' are given for your peace, not to be weaponized for revenge against others.
10.When you put your hands on a situation to get revenge, God takes His hands off; keeping your hands off allows God to intervene.
11.Shift your perspective by downgrading enemies from threats to mere irritants, because they cannot stop what God has appointed for you.

Sermon Moments

“Whoever's controlling your mood, that's your master.”

“What people do to me can impact me, but does not dictate or determine my outcome.”

“Remorse is a feeling, repentance is an action.”

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper is not to be weaponized against your enemies... it's for your peace.”

“When you put your hands on it, God takes His hands off.”

“You need to downgrade what you've been calling your enemy and say you're no longer an enemy cause you're not a threat, you're an irritant.”

This Week

Refuse to allow mistreatment or offensive texts to control your mood, peace, or joy this week.
Keep your hands off situations where you feel tempted to retaliate or seek revenge, allowing God to fight for you.
Evaluate broken dynamics in your life by observing actions rather than accepting mere remorseful words.
Shift your mental declaration: stop viewing difficult people as threat-level enemies and view them merely as minor irritants.
When facing unfairness, speak God's promises like Isaiah 41:10 over yourself for peace rather than weaponizing scripture against others.
Surrender past trauma from being mishandled to God in prayer, asking Him to heal the lingering emotional damage.
Examine your heart when triggered to ensure you respond with Christlike conviction rather than matching carnal behavior.

Remember This

What people do to you can impact you, but how you manage yourself after being mismanaged is what determines your outcome.

A Challenge for You

Take your hands off of what you want to handle, trust that God sees and will correct what was done to you, and walk in the confidence that this situation stops nothing God has planned for your life.
