PLEASING GOD SERIES 002

GOD AGREES IT IS BEST YOUR ENEMY LIVES IN HARMONY WITH YOU - Pleasing God Series 002 

The Bible passage where God is bringing us the honey of His word says:

Proverbs 16:7, KJV

"When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him."

I asked while meditating, "God, don't be angry o. Is it that you lack jobs to do as to diminish to payment of attention to our enemies? Are they not those who hate us? Let them alone. Cut them off from us. As long as you are with us, their absence won't be touching."

God said, "Olusola, no! You actually need your enemy. Apart from your needing him, I need him. I said, "Father, reveal and interpret yourself to me. I'm a child. Satisfy my thirst to know!"

He said, "imagine if people are against you or see you in a wrong light; broken off and fragmented away from you; don't you know they'll spread negative stories of how they see you? Though, they may be wrong but they will make disciples if not many who will believe in that story of negativity which may continue down the line. So, your image is going to be affected and your name plundered." 

"My making your enemy be at peace with you or that of any be at peace with him is to eliminate a thing like that. If they're however at peace with you (since you aren't the one who's not at peace with them and so needs to be mended); they'll be delighted to give you their favours, work for your good, do and say you well. Don't think your enemies don't have what they can benefit you. They do. Unless they agree with you, they'll never give it. 

When the Oracle Himself has thus spoken, I leaned back on my bed and said, "thanks for speaking good to me."

He said also, "did I not say I need them?" Some who are offended in you or any other Christian might lose faith in you and so you or other brethren whom they're offended at may be stumbling block to their believing. Through you, they may not be able to come to me (Christ). I want them believe and know that Christians aren't bad and their God is good. Mind you, your enemy are not only unbelievers! Christians can have enemies who are also Christians also. 

God said, "I'm doing this work of amending the image of any who's offended in any of you and is your enemy by those reasons so that you all (whom they see as enemy) won't obstruct ME (Jehovah from being received by them).

These two reasons are why God will trek miles to ensure your enemy is united with you. If it were not so, we wouldn't have been commanded to do this below:

Hebrews 12:14, KJV

"FOLLOW PEACE WITH ALL MEN, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:"

As you live your life, may you strive to live peacefully with all men. War/strife is not our first choice of life but to live peacefully with others. It is however when Satan incites enemies at us that we fight war inevitably as the enemy contends with us. We can't keep quiet nor choose to lose voluntarily and call it humility or pity. That's foolishness.  However, it is better if as a warrior, one knows no war at all (if his enemies are all united with him)! Who tells you warriors don't even appreciate living in peace?

Shalom!
