Hello there. Wow, it's been a while since we posted here. Let me start by saying Happy New Year! Some of you are like it's march, duh! I am aware! But seriously we really missed you guys. Well Let's get down to business.
A wise friend once said to me, "Every christian is busy 'killing their enemies', if Jesus had done that... It would've been a scanty world!"
I pondered over this and the Holy Ghost took me to Matt 5:44... Jesus said love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despite-fully use you, and persecute you. The following verse says That ye may be the children of your father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. If some of us were God, we would have made rain to fall only on the good Christians and brimstone on the bad folks. Let me make a profound statement "Killing your enemies by fire, thunder, brimstone and cement wasn't Jesus command, Love is the greatest weapon against the enemies, Even when God wanted to redeem the world from the hands of Satan, he didn't use spiritual warfare, he used love.". If we say we are following the steps of Jesus, Jesus was beaten and injured by his so called enemies, but he still died for them. This is love. Jesus even rebuked James in Luke 9:54-56 from commanding fire to come down from heaven to consume them. Love is the way of victory. Walk in love. God expects us to love. Decide from today to love people...
Grace and Peace.
