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

    The law of sowing and reaping governs how favour works. It is necessary to look at favour as a seed that must be sown. Jesus said that, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” (Matthew 5:7).In other words, Jesus is saying, “Blessed are those who have sown favour or mercy, because they will reap favour or mercy”.Generally, the level of favour operating in your life depends on the level of the seed of favour you sow into other people’s lives. This means that I cannot expect the harvest of favour in my life until I have not sown mercy into other people’s lives.

    «Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit!» (Psalms, 32:1-2) David says that after repentance God’s forgiveness comes into person’s life, his transgressions are forgiven, his iniquities are not imputed to him and his sins are covered. David says this person to be blessed. One who does not hide an iniquity in his heart is open before God. But there is no forgiveness for the one who does not repent and does not confess his sins to God.

Every serious revival has started with people’s heartfelt cry directed to God.

  • Relationships are the thing that helps us to see the real condition of our hearts and those areas we still need to work on

    What happens when we build relationships with other people? These relationships uncover in us the faults we have not seen before. In every one of us there is a lot of dross that needs to be cleansed out so that we could conform to the image of Jesus Christ.Many people declare themselves to be perfect since they are a new creature and the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Dear friends, it is good to have faith. But it is not enough to believe these things in our hearts and to confess them with our mouths. If we neglect the instruments of transformation that God ordained to change us, then our actual lives will be far from our confessions.
