But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (Matthew 5:44 KJV)
Friend, the BEST thing you can do to your enemies is to LOVE them!
I woke up this morning and God put something very strange in my spirit. He told me to pray for my enemies. Those known and unknown. I wondered for a while where He was going, but I didn't question it. I just prayed. After praying, I felt so relieved and covered and at peace.
From the onset, I want you to know that you CANNOT please everyone. I can tell you that as a businessman. I've had dozens of encounters running my printshops - www.kvklives.com - serving St. Kitts-Nevis, serving the wider caribbean and shipping business.
From such encounters, you will develop some very good friends and you'll also develop some real DEEP enemies as you progress throughout your life. Don't say I didn't tell you. Note here too, some of your close friends, will become your worst enemies too. How should you deal with good friends and daring enemies? LOVE THEM BOTH! FORGIVE QUICKLY AND GET THAT WEIGHT OFF YOUR SHOULDERS.
I know, I know, I know. You're probably asking - LOVE THEM? I didn't say that friend, God's word is clear in Matthew5:44. God taught it HIMSELF. Not through Paul or Peter - but HIMSELF. This shows how critically important it is to LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.
I can tell you personally, that sometimes it's hard, but we must do so still.
Jealously and grudge were from the beginning with Cain and Jacob and Jacob's mother. What makes you feel it has gone away? Everyone doesn't LIKE you! Don't fool yourself! Many will smile with you and play like they wish you well, but actually, they are wolves in sheep clothing waiting for your DOWNFALL!
LOVE THEM STILL! That's People! They sit next to you in church, or on the bus or at work and they just spoke to you quite happily just now, but tore your name apart a few mintues ago with someone else. Use your spirit of DISCERNMENT with people.
Jesus goes on further with His teaching, he says bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (Matthew 5:44 KJV)
I think it would be a waste of time to explain the phrases above because they are ABSOLUTELY CLEAR.
Let's move forward. I can remember remember having to recite a very short piece with expression at an elocution contest when I was younger. It was by John Wesley and I never forgot it. It says, "Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can."
DO GOOD TO YOUR ENEMIES TOO!
We will get through. Things will change. They won't always be talking bad about us in their homes and work places. God is just carrying us through a TESTING PHASE to bring out our TESTIMONY. Don't get angry with Him. Patiently continue praying and WAITING.
You will have money on the bank one day soon. You will drive a nice vehicle one day soon. You will be able to send your children off to study one day soon. You will get to build your house one day soon. You won't always have to be digging deep into the back of your cupboards to look for some old rice or weebly flour to make some bakes. Things will change SOON!
YOUR ENEMIES WILL SHUTUP one day soon! Hope is Ahead!
I stay dreaming! You should too! Never Give up! I have no shadow of doubt in my mind, that in the future, http://www.kvkenterprises.com/ and The Mega Dare 2 Be Different Mission Centre on several acres of land, http://www.d2bdifferent.com/ would be one of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis' biggest employers. I don't care which government is in power, we will get ALL the incentives we want, or we will leave the island and use the Caribbean Single Market Economy access or globalization opportunities and set up in another country that favours us. God knows how to take care of his children you know.
Sometimes - Many times, we just have to wait. While waiting, we have to listen and hear about all of the negative things being said about us, planned and wished for us. As children of God, still stand even when standing isn't easy.
Remember to FORGIVE and FORGIVE and FORGIVE your enemies. The sin of UNFORGIVENESS can send you straight to HELL.
Let your enemies and haters and be-grudgers bluster now. Things will change in the VERY NEAR FUTURE. Joseph had to spend some time in prison before he was promoted right? Daniel had to spend some time in the den before he was further promoted right?
Haven't you noticed the trend? Your bank book has to be empty before it is filled with digits! You have to walk for sometime before you drive the fancy car. You have to live off of RAMEN noodles before you eat Lobster and Steak dishes every day.
Those who are seriously doing the Masters business will suffer tremendously like Moses and John and Peter and Paul and others. So when you look around at ministers of the gospel, you can definitely see who's busy for Christ and who's properly relaxed.
Stop complaining and wondering what your enemies are saying. Smile and NEVER let them see you down. When they do you bad, and plan the worst for you, Do what Jesus says -
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (Matthew 5:44 KJV)
Your badmouthers will soon have their JAWS LOCKED OPEN when they stand amazed that GOD remembered you and blessed you indeed! And, and, many of your very same enemies and haters, will fall before you to beg for mercy and help in the near future. Don't you remember that Joseph's brothers had to do that? Watch and See and walk with your head up high, and your faith turned up to all. God hasn't forgotten YOU.
We'll get through friend. Don't Give Up! Turn a deaf ear to your enemies but LOVE them and do good to them in the process still. HEAP US THE COALS OF FIRE ON THEIR HEADS. (Proverbs 25:22) - I love doing that - Join me!
Hope is Ahead for YOU!
