Let the Peace of God Rule in Your Hearts
Go for peace rather than arguments; for you were called unto peace in the body of Christ, not to the world.
Think Well of Your Enemies
You might have strong reasons to speak harsh words against those who attack the anointing upon your life to do God’s work in peace. But Assume the place of love and forgive them. Think well of your enemies. Don’t wish them to fall, although they deserve it.
It Is Better to Suffer for Doing Good
The Word says it is better to suffer for doing good if it’s God’s will rather than doing evil (see 1 Peter 3:17). So, beyond the wailings you’re suffering, commit to following God’s ways.
Commit Yourself to the Righteous Judge
If people keep doing evil things against you, deal with them as Jesus dealt with those evil Israelites and bore the suffering. Just commit yourself to the Righteous Judge, and He will settle the scores for you.
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.
