If your enemy is hungry, feed him..

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes

Hello people of God!

Today God has laid on my heart to emphasize a principle from His word that I believe is very vital in the days in which we live. This principle is recorded in the book of Proverbs 16:7.

“When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with Him”.

This principle demands that we do our own part, so that God can do His own part.
Our part is to please God in all our ways and manners. Your obedience has to be in place before God can deal with any disobedience from your enemy’s side. This is why the Bible teaches that God is

  “…in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be fulfilled” (2Cor. 10:6).

When you do your part, God is the one that will cause your enemies to be at peace with you. He is the one that will avenge all disobedience.
For example, we are commanded by the Lord to love our enemies, pray for those who persecute us, and bless those who curse us (Matthew 5:43-45; Luke 6:27-28).

If you obey this commandment, your ways will be pleasing to the Lord. This is how you will give God the permission to work on your behalf and cause your enemies to be at peace with you.
God’s word for you today is this: If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty give him refreshing drinks; pray for him and do something good for him.
You won’t have to wait long before God will surprise you.
I strongly encourage you to meditate on Romans 12:17-20 today. As you do, may God bless you and cause your enemies to be at peace with you from this day on.

See you tomorrow,
Pastor Rufus Ajiboy

    If you can remember, yesterday we talked about the fact that what defiles a person is not what is done to him, but his personal reaction to that. In the following Scripture we saw that neither the man nor the woman were willing to take personal responsibility for their actions.„The man said, “The woman you put here with me–she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.» Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” (GEN 3:12-13)
