"Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Romans 12:14"
The opening scripture has given us a key to eternal blessings. It exhorts us to bless those who persecute us; we should bless and not curse.
As Christians, we have a forward and upward life: this means that we have been called only to blessings and not curses. We are the light of the world and must show the world the right way to live a godly life. When we curse, we are not living our nature and the enemy can creep in and destroy.
Some of those who persecute us have a chance of being born again; therefore, if we curse them, all those who have the chance to receive Christ will miss this chance and go to hell.
We reap what we sow; if we sow curses, we will reap curses, and if we sow blessings, we will reap blessings.
Finally, our Lord Jesus Christ did not curse people - He only cursed a fig tree.
Dearly beloved, have you been persecuted before? How did you handle it?
