Overcome evil by doing good (September 8, 2020)

Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Life application:

Not responding to daily provocations, offenses or abuses can be seen as weakness in today world where nobody want to be someone else doormat. There is evil all over the world, though you may desire to live in peace with others, there will always be someone in your circle who would like to take advantage of your defensive position. By as believer, to overcome evil should be our daily duty the same as we carry our cross daily. No man can bear or overcome evil by his own strength, we have to rely on the power supplied by The Holy Spirit to do this. That's why The Lord made sure that we will be lead by The Holy Spirit so that we can continue to overcome evil the same way He did during His earthly ministry. We have a defensive and an offensive job to do on daily baisis; the defensive is not to let the evil control your life and decision (bitterness, fear, anger and all sort of evil) and the offensive is to go beyond our feeling, our hurt, our emotions to manifest the love of God in this broken world. This is why you need the Spirit of power, love and soundminds. How to pray through: 1. Thank The Heavenly Father for life, good health, revelation of His word. And acknowledge that He is the source of your life.

2. As the Bible says submit yourself to God and resist the devil and he shall flee. Pray and consecrate yourself to God by putting your body, soul and spirit under His authority.

3. Ask The Holy Spirit to give you strength and ability to overcome evil while walking in love.

4. Thank The Lord Jesus Christ for the victory over the evil in His Name Alone.

In Christ Jesus Name. Amen
