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 (Mathew 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 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 encourage strongly to meditate on Roman 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 Ajiboye

  • Jesus was constantly seeking the God´s will for His life

    Reading the Bible we see how Jesus was growing and being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. Jesus was constantly seeking the God´s will for His life, in order to set a good example for us. If Jesus had got to know God´s will using His divine nature instead, He wouldn´t have set a role model to us nor we wouldn´t be able to follow his steps today. Jesus stayed longer in the Temple after the feast of Passover in Jerusalem while other people had already left for home (see Luke 2:41-51). What was Jesus doing there and why did He stay longer in the Temple? He stayed there to listen to the scribes and to question them. That´s one of His secrets where His wisdom came from. Jesus studied the Scriptures. He attended the Temple and asked questions, prayed and leaned closer to God, His Father.

  • Life is a trust

    You should understand there is nothing that belongs to you. Your life itself is not yours, it’s a trust God has shown to you. Understanding this truth changes the way you respond to what is going on around you.You do not live for yourself; you did not appear on this Earth by your own act of will or for your own personal purpose. God has given life to you as a sign of His trust for you. You are entrusted with life from God and the day will come when you will have to give account to God for the life He given to you, – for all your deeds and words while living in your body.

  • What is actually the difference between resurrected life and having life abundantly?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Having repented your sins you are granted resurrected life, while life abundant is still hidden in God. You need the life abundant here, on this Earth. However, to have such life here on Earth we have to learn how to bring our heavenly possession on Earth. We have to have victorious life no matter what we do. Time we spend in fellowship with God is time when our resurrected life is being converted into life abundant.

    «Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up» (James, 4:8-10)From the verses above we see that sin and adultery distance a person from God and block His presence, His power and glory from manifesting. So, besides prayer, there are other things that bring us closer to God and bring His presence into our lives: those are repentance and commitment to live a holy life.

    Fear paralyzes and limits a person, takes away his strength and courage for going forward; it does not allow person’s talents and gifts to come out on the surface. Fear steals person’s faith in God. A wicked heart makes a person selfish and stains his motives. Such a person is alienated from the true understanding of responsibility for his words and actions. He lives according to the principle “I do not owe a thing to anybody; everybody owes me!»
