BE HAPPY YOU HAVE AN ENEMY

You are a no body if you do not have an enemy. I am proud of all my enemies because they make me know how great I am.

Enemies are like dogs, they can bark, but cannot bite. If you're succeeding without an enemy then you should check if you're really succeeding because every true success will naturally attract an opposition. Be grateful for your enemies at least their presence is an indication that you’re doing well in life.

Jesus, while on earth, had enemies. There were people who never liked Him, in fact some people thought He was talking too much about being the son of God. Even God had an enemy (the devil) who thought of becoming a god himself. Enemies are natural, they are indications of greatness. People will never rise against you except you're doing well. People will never write lies against you except you're succeeding. Enemies are natural indications of greatness, so, be grateful you have an enemy. Lol!

  

How to treat an enemy

1.   Ignore them.

They said “the best answer to a fool is silence”. When you ignore an enemy, someday the enemy will get tired and will walk away. If a person is talking to you and you're not responding, after a while the person will get tired of talking. Ignoring a person who is troubling you is the best way to deal with that person.

2.   Forgive in advance.

You have to learn how to forgive people in advance. When a person is troubling you, after ignoring the person, also do yourself good by forgiving that person. The reason you have to forgive is so you won't develop hatred in your heart against that person.  

3.    Assist them when you have the opportunity.

Nothing can be more tormenting to a person than after a person spoke against you, you went and assisted him/her in time of need. Even the bible says by so doing you shall put a burning coal on the head of that person.

If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; for you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you…  Proverbs 25:21-22.

4.    Love your enemy.

Do not expect to be better than your enemy if you're behaving just like him/her. Therefore, you should love and hate not. By loving them I don’t mean you should sit and dine with them; what I mean is your heart should be free from abhorring bitterness towards them. Love them natural and do not hate them.

Henceforth, when people rise against you, you should be happy knowing that it is a clear indication that you’re doing well in life.

Do have a great day
God bless you
