Proverbs 25:21-22 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; For so you will heap coals of fire on his head, And the Lord will reward you.” (Proverbs 25:21-22 NKJV)

What a very great counsel of God's word it is!? The best way to fight your enemy is kindness!!! Who is your enemy, anyway? Well, as God's children by faith in Christ Jesus, our enemy is one who hates and persecutes us because of being His children! Yet, we don't hate in return. And, as in regard to the curses of the world, God promised: “The Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies who hate and persecute you.” (Deuteronomy 30:7 NIV)

Our weapon against them, is love! That's our stone of choice to hit them back, so to speak. Lord Jesus gives us this command: “But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you.”(Luke 6:27-28 NLT)

These passages tell us that when we bless them, God's vengeance falls on them. We are blessed and rewarded. That's 'two birds with one stone of love that we throw' on our enemies. Apostle Paul affirms it with this exhortation: “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:19-21 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
