WHAT DO WE WISH FOR OUR ENEMIES?
GREAT AMBASSADORS OF CHRIST:
WHAT DO WE DESIRE FOR THEM THAT HATE US, IN OTHER WORD, WHAT DO WE WISH FOR OUR ENEMIES?
DO WE ALSO WISH THEM EVIL, OR DO WE FORGIVE THEM?
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 WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU.”
THESE ARE THE WORD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TO ALL HIS FOLLOWERS.
CHRISTIANITY IS A FINE LINE THAT MUST BE TREAD WITH CAUTION.
WE ALL ARE WORKING TOWARD PERFECTING OURSELVES TO THE WILL OF GOD.
IF WE ARE NOT THERE YET, LET US CONTINUE TO BETTER OURSELVES BOTH IN WORDS AND IN DEEDS.
WE ALL FIGHTING A CIVIL WAR WITHIN OUR INDIVIDUAL SELF.
OUR MINDS ARE THE BATTLE FIELD IN THE SPIRITUAL WARFARE BETWEEN THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN US.
TO WISH OUR ENEMIES THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE LORD SAYS, IS CONTRADICTORY TO THE WILL OF GOD IN OUR LIVES.
SOME MAY ARGUE THAT “PSALM THIRTY FIVE” CALL FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR ENEMIES. YES IT DOES. THAT WAS WHEN AN EYE WAS FOR AN EYE.
NEW COMMANDMENT HATH BEEN GIVEN UNTO US, THAT WE LOVE THOSE THAT HATE US, AND BLESS THOSE THAT CURSE US.
1 PETER 3:-9 “NOT RENDERING EVIL FOR EVIL, OR RAILING FOR RAILING; BUT CONTRARIWISE BLESSING; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED , THAT YE SHOULD INHERIT A BLESSING.”
FASTING AND PRAYING FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR ENEMIES IS UNCHRISTIAN.
PROVERBS 16:-7 “WHEN A MAN’S WAYS PLEASE THE LORD, HE MAKETH EVEN HIS ENEMIES TO BE AT PEACE WITH HIM.”
IN CONCLUSION: LET US LOVE THE LORD OUR GOD WITH ALL OUR HEARTS AND ALLOW HIS WILL TO PREVAIL IN OUR LIVES.
TRUST THE LORD AND IT SHALL BE WELL WITH US.
