WE SHALL OVERCOME ....

ROMANS 12:19-21

(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.

COMMENTARY:

Brethren in the Lord,  in this context, Paul says not to take vengeance for ourselves by punishing the wrong doer, but rather give place to divine chastisement;  and do good to those who offend us.

As children of God, our enemies will rise up us against us in different ways; when they do, let us not fight our own battles, but leave the battle for God's judgement:  instead, let us show kindness in return for the evil done against us.
I know how difficult this sounds, but it is not difficult if we pray to God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, about the situation:  Jesus, will make it possible for us to forgive and embrace our enemies with love.

Brethren in the Lord,  "Our God is a Bigger God", and "so are we"; therefore, we need to be bigger than our enemies and overcome evil with good:  let us show kindness by helping them with their urgent needs if possible;  the scriptures says, for doing so:  we heap coals of fire on their heads.

(Philippians 2:13)  For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

CONCLUSION:

Brethren in the Lord,  let us pray for our enemies for change of hearts, and take care of them when they are in need;  by doing so, the hand of the lord reprobate on our behalf.
*Jesus says to do good to those that hate us:  let us hear his voice, and obey him.  We shall overcome all evil in his name!  Amen and Amen!

(St Luke 6:27)  But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you.
