Delay Your Responses to People’s Talks
Delay your responses to people’s talks. Have a receiving mindset because that will give you ample time to judge situations carefully, even before speaking out your verdict.
Do What Leads to Peace and to Mutual Edification
It’s not everything you do that is beneficial to you and those around you concurrently. Sometimes, you’d have to give up a habit you’ve learned from home.
Vengeance Is God’s Work, Not Yours
God knows how to vindicate you despite all the atrocities committed against you. You don’t need to fight evil people back physically. Submit your case to the Lord in prayer. And watch God work in your life.
Forgive as Christ Has Forgiven You
It’s most important to understand how Christ forgave you so that from that understanding, you can live an ever-forgiving life.
Love Keeps No Record of Wrongs
As you grow in God’s love, you should be able to forget people’s faults.
Walk in the Way of Love
To walk in love as God did, you must walk in sacrifice for the benefit of others.
Sin No More, Lest a Worse Thing Come Upon You
There are many more scriptures that prove that some sickness happens to people because of sin (see James 5:15, Mark 2:5). So I want to tell you that be careful of how you manage your life today, especially as a believer.
Love One Another Fervently with a Pure Heart
Instead of taking matters into your own hands and repaying evil with evil, let the Holy Spirit take charge of your thoughts, actions and speech. You’ll live offence-free in Christ.
Love Those Who Don’t Love You
There’s nothing God says “do” that you cannot do because He provides grace to do every one of His commands. Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you as you stand firm in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Because of a truth, this world will be better if undeserving people get loved by unexpected believers in Christ.
Drop Matters Which Don’t Matter
Drop matters which don’t matter to your life. As you correct those who offend you constructively unto the glory of God, never forget that forgiveness frees you first of guilt than the one who did it. And if you find it hard to forgive, remember how great a debt of sin Jesus has paid for you to receive the gift of salvation for free.
Confess Your Trespasses to One Another
What happens when you confess your trespasses to one another in Christ is that wise people in the Lord will help you overcome them, pray for you and teach you the ways of God to live in victory.
Settle Disputes in Secrecy
One of the ways to appease someone’s heart after grieving him is to give the person a gift secretly. It can be a private phone call, text message expressing an apology or a short note. Whatever it is, your goal should be keeping destiny relationships intact no matter what.
