SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION – “BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING”: HAVE FAITH IN GOD – FOR IN HIM PEACE REIGN AND RULE! 

“BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING; but in every thing by PRAYER and SUPPLICATION with THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And THE PEACE OF GOD, which PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING, shall keep your HEARTS and MINDS through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7. 

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING; tell God your needs, and don’t forget TO THANK HIM FOR HIS ANSWERS. 7 If you do this, you will EXPERIENCE GOD’S PEACE, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. HIS PEACE will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7 Living Bible (TLB). 

“Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by PRAYER and PETITION with THANKSGIVING, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And THE PEACE of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which TRANSCENDS all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]” Philippians 4:6-7 (Amplified). 

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them” Mark 11:22-24.

THE FEAR OF SICKNESSES AND DISEASES MUST NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU: FOR GOD’S BANNER OVER YOU IS HEALTHY LIVING – HEALING AND HEALTH! 

“For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. 22 IS THERE NO BALM IN GILEAD; IS THERE NO PHYSICIAN THERE? Why then is not the HEALTH of the daughter of my people recovered?” Jeremiah 8:21-22. 

Are there SICKNESSES And DISEASES? YES! Is there COVID-19 and CORONA-VIRUS? YES! Are there other viral DISEASES? YES! Are there any other fatal and non-fatal DISEASE? YES! Are they all there to have DOMINION over you? NO! For there’s HEALTH AND HEALING Balm in Gilead. For Jesus Christ is your HEALING and HEALTH Balm for your today and tomorrow 

FEAR is the ENEMY and COHORTS POLICING OFFICER to get you CAUGHT UP with SICKNESSES, DISEASES, and pandemics like CORONA-VIRUS – and their EFFECTS and the UNKNOWN. 

FAITH is the VICTORY over FEAR; and it’s the ANTIDOTE to the spirit of FEAR and it’s POLICING system and EFFECT that’s now in the WORLD; especially on matters of SICKNESSES And DISEASES and such like the CORONA-VIRUS – Suffix to know, that the CORONA-VIRUS is having an effect that’s gradually impacting and has drastically impacted into the ECONOMICS of the WORLD ECONOMY.  

Therefore, I SAY to you in Christ Jesus stead, INSTEAD OF FEAR, ENACT FAITH IN GOD THROUGH PRAYERS FOR BOTH OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE MEASURE IN SUCH A TIME AS THIS CURRENT CLIMATE – FOR YOUR TODAY AND EVEN NOW. 

If you must FEAR, FEAR the JUDGEMENT of God upon SIN due to one’s UNREPENTANT heart TOWARDS Him in Christ Jesus – Hebrews 10:30-31; Acts 20:21; Psalms 9:8; Psalms 96:10, 13, 

There are THREE Effects of SIN that the REDEMPTION DEED of CHRIST Did for you. And FAITH in the done DEED of Christ Jesus SETTLES ALL, especially now on SICKNESS And DISEASES in consideration, which includes such like – COVID-19 alias CORONA-VIRUS and others. 

These EFFECTS of SIN are: 

  • POVERTY 

 

  • SICKNESS and 

 

  • SPIRITUAL DEATH 

FAITH in God is the ANTIDOTE to FEAR which is the ENEMY and COHORTS vehicle to police these effects on mankind. Be free in Christ Jesus stead I plead with you today.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee . . . “Psalms 91.

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, PRAYERS, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 for kings, AND FOR ALL THAT ARE IN AUTHORITY; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” 1 Timothy 2:1-6.

  • PRAYER WORKS – THE CONNECTIVITY OF THE HUMAN TIMED WORLD TO THE TIMELESS ETERNITY OF DIVINITY  
  • PRAYER CHANGES THINGS BEYOND HUMAN. 
  • PRAYER IS REASONING WITH GOD ON ANY SUBJECT IN MATTERS OF DOING LIFE AND LIVING GODLY. 
  • PRAYER BRINGS HEALINGS TO THE SICK EVEN IN THE MIDST OF SICKNESS AND DISEASES AS IN ANY PANDEMIC (When there’s PESTILENCE) 
  • PRAYER BRINGS ANSWERS TO FAILING ECONOMY (When there’s DEVOURING LOCUST) 
  • PRAYER BRINGS CREATIVITY, INNOVATION AND INITIATIVE FOR PRODUCTIVITY (When there’s NO RAIN)

  • PRAYER IS ASKING THE HEAVENLY PERMISSION AND INTERVENTION IN YOUR EARTHLY AFFAIRS 
  • PRAYER IS THE BELIEVER’S INESCAPABLE, SUPREME AND GLOBAL TASK AS THE AMBASSADOR/REPRESENTATIVES OF CHRIST JESUS TO HUMANITY. 
  • PRAYER IS LIFE – THE BREATH AND BREATHE FOR THE GOD’S CHILD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

RESENTMENT 

By Leave a Comment

RESENTMENT – The Beautiful And Colourful Lesson Learnt From My Wife: To LOVE And PRAY For Those Whom – You Tend To RESENT And Who RESENT You! 

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at peace with him” Proverbs 16:7. 

“If thine ENEMY be HUNGRY, GIVE him bread to EAT; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to DRINK: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22. 

RESENTMENT is BITTER INDIGNATION at having been TREATED UNFAIRLY and BADLY; and it’s a mixture of DISAPPOINTMENT, ANGER, WRATH and FEAR. It comprises the three basic emotions of DISGUST, SADNESS and SURPRISE – the PERCEPTION of INJUSTICE.  

If you must live COLOURFUL, FREE, PEACEFUL and ENJOY the FULNESS of Christ REDEMPTION for you, you must CULTIVATE the acts to LOVE, and to PRAY for the one you tend to RESENT and the one who is RESENTING you. It is the gracious, beautiful and colourful lesson heard and learnt from my wife years ago to deal with human DIFFERENCE and INDIFFERENCE. And it CERTAINLY has worked and keep working for all who have been COUNSELLED along it, in dealing with various matters of life in human relationships: Family, Spouses, Friends, Workplace Colleagues, Leadership, Gospel Ministry and such like. 

I can boldly affirm that it works because Christ Jesus on one of His SERMONS ON THE MOUNT TEACHINGS made similar statements to us of LOVING, RELATING and PRAYING for our ENEMIES and those who DESPITEFULLY mistreat us in every respect of doing life and godly living. [Matthew 5:38-48]. 

The best way to OVERCOME and TRIUMPH in beauty and colour over RESENTMENT is to LOVE, and to PRAY for the one you ARE RESENTING or RESENTING you. For you can’t be ABLE to RESENT the PERSON you LOVE and you are PRAYING for and about without expecting results except you are playing and unserious – and especially if you truly want and BELIEVE and EXPECT God to ANSWER such PRAYERS of yours, except you are making a mockery of yourself before God because God cannot be mock [Galatians 6:7-10]; and in the same similarity, you will ALWAYS RESENT the PERSON you DON’T see the NEED to PRAY for, much else to LOVE as the Scriptures earnestly do requires and do put a demand on us to love, in order to be the God’s genuine DISCIPLE, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [John 13:34-35; John 15:12-14]. 

Therefore, SET YOURSELF FREE WITH LOVE AND PRAYER – It’s the ANTIDOTE to RESENTMENT. Give it a goal to do today, you will witness peace and joy indescribable and incomprehensible, both for yourself and for the good of all, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Romans 5:5-11]. 

Set yourself FREE with LOVE and PRAYER – it’s the ANTIDOTE to RESENTMENT, at least for your own innermost peace and quietness. Give it a goal today you will witness peace and joy indescribable for yourself. I pray you know and understand that LOVE and PRAYERS will work for you to deal with RESENTMENT today and always. 

You need to PLEASE God to make your enemy and cohorts to be at PEACE with you [Proverbs 16:7]. And you can only PLEASE God by FAITH [Hebrews 11:6]. And FAITH only WORKS by LOVE [Galatians 5:6, 13]. And the God’s LOVE is without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation – and it’s the antidotes to deal with enemy and cohorts Scripturally [Romans 12:9-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Matthew 5:36-48]. Hence, you can deal with resentment at the form Scripturally as laid out in the context of discussion if you want solutions God’s way and path and not your self-seeking way and path. 

And BLESSED regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS as you BEGIN to enjoy the needed and resultant PEACE born for acting DIFFERENCE instead of INDIFFERENCE from the norm – “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth’ – the golden rule. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. 9 Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED by his blood, we shall be SAVED FROM WRATH through him. 10 For if, when we were ENEMIES, we were RECONCILED to God by the death of his Son, much more, BEING RECONCILED, we shall be SAVED BY HIS LIFE. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now RECEIVED the atonement” Romans 5:5-11. 

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR, and HATE THINE ENEMY. 44 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; 45 that ye may be the CHILDREN of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye LOVE them which LOVE you, what REWARD have ye? do not even the PUBLICANS the same? 47 And if ye SALUTE your BRETHREN only, what do ye more than others? do not even the PUBLICANS so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT (Complete, Whole, Mature), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT (Complete, Whole, Mature)” Matthew 5:43-47 (Emphasis Mine). 

“If thine ENEMY be HUNGRY, GIVE him bread to EAT; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to DRINK: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22. 

“Dearly beloved, AVENGE not yourselves, but rather GIVE place unto WRATH: for it is written, VENGEANCE is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine ENEMY hunger, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:19-21. 

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 for the WRATH of man WORKETH not the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God” James 1:19-20. 

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at peace with him” Proverbs 16:7. 

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God MUST believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6. 

“So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

There’s HEALING And An ANSWER

There’s HEALING And An ANSWER: It’s TIME To PRAY And Not To PLAY And FAINT!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT (WEARY, GIVE UP, LOSE HEART”) Luke 18:1(Emphasis Mine).

When you are against the WALLS of personal, family and national ECONOMIC CRISIS, PANDEMIC, DISEASES and WAR EFFECTS, and such like NATURAL or MAN-MADE disasters –  you need no special vision or Prophet to inform you that you need to CONNECT to the HEAVENLY in order to resolve your EARTHLY affairs.

There’s ALWAYS an ANSWER to the Human problem – and PRAYER makes  ALL the DIFFERENCE – it’s time to give it a GO as in the Bible days of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15, when there ARE:

  • NO RAIN – Meaning NO – job, productivity, employment, opportunities, creativity, innovation, and side effects of no more – love, joy, peace, happiness as should be . . .
  • DEVOURING LOCUST – Meaning No productivity, economic meltdown, business/company closure, financial indebtedness, and personal or national economic decline, the powerful eating up the poor and more – injustice, war, hunger, corruption and such like.
  • PESTILENCE/EPIDEMICS/PANDEMIC – Meaning Sickness and Diseases of ALL sorts that can kill and ruin lives, make stagnant and maim one’s life with pains, suffering and more as epidemic and pandemic of any sorts.

IT’S TIME TO GENUINELY PRAY AND NOT PLAY and FAINT [OR BE WEARY, GIVE UP] – THERE IS ALREADY AN ECONOMIC EFFECT GRADUALLY SIPPING IN AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC AND WAR EFFECTS ON NATIONS.

WATCH and PRAY before you BECOME a VICTIM instead of a VICTOR.

“And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; 2 and had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way. 3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives. 4 Then David and the people that were with him LIFTED UP THEIR VOICE AND WEPT, UNTIL THEY HAD NO MORE POWER TO WEEP. 5 And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 6 And David was GREATLY DISTRESSED; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. 7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. 8 And David ENQUIRED at the Lord, saying, Shall I PURSUE after this troop? shall I overtake them? And He ANSWERED him, PURSUE: for thou shalt surely OVERTAKE them, AND WITHOUT FAIL RECOVER ALL . . . 18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives. 19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David RECOVERED ALL. 20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil . . .” 1 Samuel 30:1-31.

PRAYER WORKS

PRAYER WORKS: IT DEFINES YOU AND YOUR WORLDS!

“And in the morning, RISING UP A GREAT WHILE BEFORE DAY, he went out, and departed into a SOLITARY PLACE, and THERE PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

As you PRAY to God the Father in Christ Jesus stead – you can behold your TRANSFORMATION as Jesus did in humanity while He PRAYED.

“And AS HE PRAYED, the FASHION of His COUNTENANCE WAS ALTERED, and His RAIMENT was WHITE and GLISTERING” Luke 9:29.

“And it came to pass, that, AS HE WAS PRAYING in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto Him, Lord, TEACH US TO PRAY, as John also taught his disciples” Luke 11:1.

Prayer is MORE a communion – a fellowship to enhance relationship with the Father God, than to be of request.

Our knowing and understanding of the essence of a PRAYING ATTITUDE will give the enabling of the TRAJECTORY ALTITUDE that we desire of God.

I PRAY you come to this place of knowing and understanding that PRAYER WORKS – AND IT DEFINES YOU AND YOUR WORLDS. AND IT’S MORE OF A PLACE OF COMMUNION THAN A PLACE OF REQUEST.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, He took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 29 And AS HE PRAYED, the FASHION of his COUNTENANCE WAS ALTERED, and His RAIMENT was WHITE and GLISTERING. 30 And, behold, there talked with Him two men, which were Moses and Elias: 31 who appeared in glory, and spake of His decease which He should accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 But Peter and they that were with Him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, THEY SAW HIS GLORY, and the two men that stood with Him. 33 And it came to pass, as they departed from Him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. 34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. 35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear Him. 36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen” Luke 9:28-36.

“And it came to pass, that, AS HE WAS PRAYING in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto him, Lord, TEACH US TO PRAY, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And He said unto them, WHEN YE PRAY, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil” Luke 11:1-4.

THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION

THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION: THE POWER OF GOD THAT CHANGES ALL THINGS – BOTH THE CHANGEABLE AND THE UNCHANGEABLE!

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER OF GOD unto SALVATION to every one that BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from FAITH to FAITH: as it is written, The JUST shall LIVE by FAITH” Romans 1:16-17.

SALVATION of men, which is FRUITFULNESS in the SPIRIT, is the most awesome essence of THE GOSPEL. It’s our global, inescapable and supreme task, as God’s ambassadors in Christ Jesus stead. It’s a high and higher time to live it out daily, in order to populate the heavens and depopulate hell, by advancing the Kingdom cause of our God and in keeping the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay.

When last did you in passion and compassion share the GOSPEL to your unsaved friend, family member, neighbour, colleague and those about where you do life and express your godly living time and again. Make it a new dawn for you to share this precious GOSPEL faith and fellowship with those especially that you care about and are reachable to begin with. The salvation of a soul is costly, and no amount of earthly wealth and possession can quantify and qualify the redemption of a soul. Only the gospel can and will ALWAYS redeem a soul. Give it a go today.

“GO, STAND and SPEAK in the temple to the people ALL THE WORDS of this life” Acts 5:20.

“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand” Romans 15:20-21.

“They that TRUST in their WEALTH, and BOAST themselves in the MULTITUDE of their RICHES; 7 NONE OF THEM CAN BY ANY MEANS REDEEM HIS BROTHER, nor give to God a RANSOM for him: 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their SOUL IS PRECIOUS, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others . . .” Psalms 49:6-12.

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 GO YE THEREFORE, and TEACH ALL NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 TEACHING them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20.

“And he said unto them, GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD, and PREACH the GOSPEL to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and PREACHED EVERY WHERE, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20.

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING the GOSPEL of the kingdom, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people” Matthew 9:35.

OVERCOMING RESENTMENT

OVERCOMING RESENTMENT: PRAY FOR THOSE THAT HURT, DESPISED AND UNDERMINED YOU – FOR IT THUS WORKS!
 
“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.
 
Are you still BROODING and BROWSING In RESENTMENT? Do you desire to be FREE INDEED and experience true FREEDOM and DAILY TRIUMPH? There’s An ANSWER today for you. And I pray that you might have the WILL to let GOD be PLEASED and let GO of RESENTMENT, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And PLEASING God is responding to His WORD accordingly by FAITH and not by REACTING which is a mark AGAINST His WORD perception that’s contrary to your sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy/hypocritical), which tends to rebellion.
 
RESENTMENT – means a bitter indignation at having been treated unfairly, unjustly, poorly and such like. RESENTMENT is killing relationship at all levels, destroying families, ruining a healthy governance, destroying community and neighborhoods, creating ministerial discord and schism, and worst of all – it’s robbing many of ANSWERS to their PRAYERS from the Father God.
 
The feeling can be caused by several different circumstances and situations, however, they all involve a sense of injustice or wrongdoing from an individual. For example, public humiliation, constant discrimination or prejudice, being taken advantage of, feeling unrecognised, envy and jealousy and such like can all result in RESENTMENT.
 
The best ANTIDOTE to overcome and live triumphantly over and above RESENTMENT is to PRAY for the one you are RESENTING against. The act of PRAYER enables you to EXERCISE FAITH, which PLEASES God; and when you PLEASE God, He makes even your ENEMIES to be at PEACE with you and to WORK for your good. And PLEASING God by FAITH means you have the sense to FORGIVE and equally FORGET, that is, to let GO off you – no matter what and to let in God be – by taking care of such a matter on your behalf – Mark 11:22-26.
 
There’s the need to know full well, that God makes all things to work together for our good in everyway in Christ Jesus stead; this He has done in Christ Jesus, by JUSTIFYING – FORGIVING and FORGETTING, DISCHARGING and ACQUITTING – us of wrong doings, by in washing away, erasing off, letting go off our sin and it’s effect on us, by nailing them all – on the CROSS of our REDEMPTION. Romans 5:1-2; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:13; Micah 7:18-19.
 
My wife once SOLD to me the Wisdom Nugget that I BOUGHT from her that SPIRITED up my journey in grace in this regards, which is this:
 
“When you truly BELIEVE to have ANSWERS to your PRAYERS by Father God, you’ll discover that you CAN’T RESENT against the person you are always PRAYING for no matter what; but you will ALWAYS RESENT towards the person you don’t PRAY for and not always have in PRAYERS, no matter the circumstances that lies in-between in you – hence there’s the need to PRAY, to cancel RESENTMENT”
 
This bought over WISDOM NUGGET of hers concept by grace, has become the motto that shapes our life the more. This gracious concept I have learnt from my wife, and it has always works and still works today and even now. Give it a goal today, even now where you can.
 
I repeat – Give it a goal today, right now and you will be truly BLESSED in everyway in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.
 
“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that COMETH to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.
 
“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD . . . 24 Therefore I say unto you, What THINGS SOEVER ye desire, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them. 25 And when ye STAND PRAYING, FORGIVE, if ye have OUGHT AGAINST ANY: that your Father also which is in heaven may FORGIVE you your trespasses. 26 But if ye DO NOT FORGIVE, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses” Mark 11:22-26.
 
“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and HATE thine enemy. 44 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; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publican so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT, even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT”. Matthew 5:43-48.
 
“If thine ENEMY be hungry, GIVE him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, GIVE him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.
 
“Let love be WITHOUT dissimulation. ABHOR that which is evil; CLEAVE to that which is good. 10 Be KINDLY AFFECTIONED one to another with brotherly love; in honour PREFERRING one another; 11 not SLOTHFUL in business; FERVENT in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. 14 BLESS them which persecute you: BLESS, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 RECOMPENSE to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live PEACEABLY with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, AVENGE not yourselves, but rather GIVE place unto wrath: for it is written, VENGEANCE is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, FEED him; if he thirst, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil, but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:9-21.
 
“Ye have heard that it hath been said, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, and A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH: 39 but I say unto you, That ye RESIST NOT EVIL: but whosoever shall SMITE thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away” Matthew 5:38-42.
