HOW WE SHOULD TREAT THOSE THAT HATE US
THE CALLED AND FORGIVEN:
AT THIS LENTEN PERIOD, BEFORE FASTING AND PRAYING TO GOD FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR ENEMIES.
LET US UNDERSTAND WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS CONCERNING HOW WE HANDLE THOSE THAT HATE US.
MATTHEW, 5:-44 “BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM WHO DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU.”
BY PRAYING FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR ENEMIES AS FORGIVEN CHILDREN OF GOD, WE ARE CONTRAVENING OR CONTRADICTING THE COMMANDMENT OF WHOM WE CONFESSED AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.
MOREOVER, WE MUST PROPERLY CHECK OURSELVES, IF IN ANYWAY: BY THE REASON OF OUR CONDUCTS, PLAYING THE ROLE OF AN ENEMY IN THE LIFE OF OTHERS.
FOR GOD TO GRANT US VICTORY OVER OUR ENEMIES, WE MUST ABSTAIN OURSELVES FROM BEING AN ENEMY TO OTHERS.
“HE THAT PELTS OTHERS WITH PEBBLES, ASKED FOR ROCKS IN RETURN”
SEEK PEACE WITH OTHERS, AND YOUR DAYS SHALL BE FULL OF PEACE.
FORGIVENESS IS THE KEY TO LOCK DOWN THE SPIRITS OF BITTERNESS AND GRUDGES IN OUR HEARTS AND FREE OUR MINDS AND SOULS FROM THE ENTANGLEMENTS OF HATRED AND VENGEANCE.
BY NOT FORGIVING OTHERS, YOU ARE PUTTING YOURSELF IN AN EMOTIONAL PRISON THAT MAY LEAD TO HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND STROKE.
CHRISTIANITY IS A TEST OF ENDURANCE. (MATTHEW, 24:-13)
IN CONCLUSION: LET US CONTINUE TO FORGIVE OTHER THEIR TRESPASSES THAT WE MAY BE FORGIVEN BY OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. (EPHESIANS, 4:-32).
