Title: The Fruit of Malice: When Unforgiveness Turns Strategic
Anchor Text: Ephesians 4:31
Contemporary Quote:
*"Bitterness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die." — Nelson Mandela; Saint Augustine, etc.
Leaders who act with malice often:
- Exploit systems to harm others subtly.
- Rationalize vengeance as justice.
- Mask hostility with political or spiritual language.
Malice leads to toxic leadership cultures, broken trust, and divisive ministries.
Ask yourself:
- Are there people you have “written off” in your heart?
- Have you used position or influence to harm rather than heal?
Today, release that malice. Ask the Holy Spirit to search your motives. Choose to forgive, not because they deserve it, but because you were forgiven (Ephesians 4:31-32).
