Wisdom For The Day Devotional 13 April 2025 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Be Good To All
TOPIC: Be Good To All (TREM Devotional 13 April 2025)
“But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you MAY be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” (Matthew 5:44-45 NKJV)
MESSAGE:
When God said love your enemies, He meant it. He knew there will be people that will come across our way that will be so unlovable and you just want to exclude them from this scripture. But no matter how bad the situation is, it cannot change the Word of God. The Word of God is still true, infallible and errorless. God put whatever you see in the Word there for your good.
I know that there are some people that are simply not loveable as far as you are concerned. You probably have tried to love them and still it is impossible and you have resigned yourself to say, even God knows that this person is beyond forgiveness. Child of God, there is nothing like that. If God could forgive you, then there is no sin on earth that you also cannot forgive. But the key to forgiveness is prayer.
Prayer? You might be wondering… yes, prayer. In prayer, as you commune with God, you become more and more like Him. And the more of God you have in you, the less your ability to harbor any form of hurt. If someone does what you think is unforgivable and unforgettable, go to God in sincerity, pour out your heart to Him in prayer and you will be surprised that you will be healed of every hurt.
I challenge you today not to be weary in well doing. Your harvest is closer than you can imagine. You will not end a disappointment. The colourful destiny that God has ordained for you will not be aborted. Nothing works against you. All things are working in your favour.
