Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet. Maya Angelou

Esther 7:1-0
Repay no one evil for evil Rom 12:17

By Pastor Peter Ujomu Of HCCA

When we get hurt by people, we often feel a deep sense of hurt and feel the need to either run from the pain and or seek a way to retaliate. In many cases people spend time looking for a chance to get even. Hate within only destroys the hater. The book of Esther, quoted above shows us just how self - destructive hatred can be. Mordecai, a Jew , refused to bow before Haman, a self important dignitary in the Parsian court this angered Haman. The Bible standard is to turn hatred around and return good for evil. As Christians, we are thought to turn the other cheek when slapped in one. I am not sure that any one will willingly make that choice today. However, we should know that retaliating is not the prescribed response. I pray that God will reveal every devious plot of the 'Haman' in your life and in the lives of your family members. Repay no one evil for evil Paul said do not avenge your selves Rom 12:17_19 do what is right that you may live peaceably with all men. Hatred promotes self destruction , love fulfils Christ 's instruction. Why don't you choose to love that person today instead of looking for a way to even up with him or her. You will find inner peace and joy. Good morning
