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 Importance of God’s will

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    Today I would like to start talking about „The Importance of God’s will”. The Holy Scripture says: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven” (Mathew, 7: 21). The Bible calls every one of us to have sound mind, especially in learning the will of God for his or her life. «Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is» (Ephesians, 5:18). Why is it so important to allocate some time for seeking out the will of God? Why is understanding of God’s will so necessary for a person? It is because the understanding of God’s will determine both our happiness here, on earth, and our status in the future, in eternity.

  • Your gift will make room for you!

    «A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men» (Proverbs, 18: 16). Your gift will make room for you and will broaden your boarders, if you won’t hide it. So many times believers ask: «Where is my place in the Body of Christ? What is my calling?» Do what you know. This simple principle gives an answer to many questions. Find the thing that you know how to do; find what you can do to promote the Kingdom of God, to help the church to grow and to extend your influence in the society.

    There are two dimensions of faith: THE WORD OF FAITH «But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or “’Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach)» (Romans, 10: 6-8)

  • Don’t serve those things over which you, suppose to dominate according to the will of God

    “ And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath” In this short statement of Jesus Christ there a very important lesson is hidden for us. God is saying here that the sabbath was made for manand not man for the sabbath. In life it is often possible to observe such a picture where by those things over which man is meant to dominate, are dominating over him instead. This distortion of the order established by God often result in many tragic problems in people’s life today.
