If your enemy is hungry, feed him..

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

    I want to tell you that singing to God, praising Him, enjoying His presence is not a difficult task at all, if we will only take a moment to reflect or think of His grace. Even when you are having very hard times in life, you can still find something in your life that you can thank God for. Even when you think everything in your life is falling to pieces and your situation is the worst on earth, nevertheless, continue to believe – you simply have not encountered a situation that is worse than yours.

    First of all, God ”will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able”.

God will not let things, that are above what you can bear, enter your life. You probably underestimate your own strength, but God knows better. When your reasoning is right you prevail over hardships. God will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, so you can overcome all difficulties in life – that´s the idea you should feed your mind with.
