God says He’ll reward you if you feed your enemy (Proverbs 25:21-22) Identify people who may not necessarily be your “known” enemy but have probably done something wrong to you before and are not changing. Get something nice, a gift or so, to give the person out of love.
From the beginning, God made life to be in seasons. He made different kinds of light in Genesis 1:14-16 to govern time differences. That is to say that there is time for everything. And until we understand this, we’re likely to misinterpret how we see life due to a lack of discernment of the season we are in right now.
When Lot saw the well-watered plain of Jordan, he thought choosing it was a good place for his family and herdsmen. Later on, he was found in Sodom, being tormented daily by the evil deeds of those people. As a person of vision, give others the space to make their choices, whether good or bad. However, be like Abraham, who waited on the Lord to hear what He had to say before taking the next step.
Let’s stop hating people because they don’t speak good things about us. If your name as God’s child is gossiped about somewhere by evil people, rejoice because Jesus is being made known because of you. Love your enemies.

When an offence isn’t covered up and heartily forgiven, it develops into quarrels anytime the offender and offended speak about the issue. Drop the matters by addressing them in love and settling disputes amicably using the wisdom of God.

God hates polygamy and will never permit it in the Church, even if any of His servants fail to enforce it in ministry. It doesn’t glorify Him and also doesn’t exemplify Jesus’ relationship with the Church.
With whatever evil prevails in the world, God’s children have overcome them through faith in Jesus (1 John 5:4). But there’s a decision to make. Will we stand for Christ by living the victorious Christian life over evil or become adversely affected by societal evils?
If we’re constantly praying, then we’ll not have any issues dealing with anxiety because God’s peace will always be manifest in our lives.
You may have read 1 Peter 4:8 and concluded that love covers a multitude of sins (instead of all sins). Today, I’d like you to know that the Bible also says love covers all sins.
When you become a Christian, your heart is the Lord’s (Ezekiel 36:26). However, what you store in it becomes your responsibility. To keep it with diligence, be intentional about keeping godly teachings in your heart. Don’t rent any part of your heart to house unnecessarily stuff. Let it be clean.
