12:9-21
9 Let love be without
hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.
10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly
love, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the
Lord;
12 rejoicing in hope, patient[a] in
tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given[b] to
hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not
curse.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who
weep.
16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set
your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your
own opinion.
17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have[c] regard
for good things in the sight of all men.
18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live
peaceably with all men.
19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give
place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I
will repay,” says the Lord.
20 Therefore
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

THE MESSAGE:
Goodness as a godly virtue cannot be separated from kindness
which is equally an act of goodness. God has shown us how to go about being
good to our fellow men and how to show kindness from a pure and sincere heart.
Being good or kind to others, believers and unbelievers alike, is not just for God
to recognise you as His child. Rather, it is a source of blessing to your life.
It requires Agape love, that divine and unconditional love that provokes a man
to be kind and do good. This further explains the intertwined nature of the
fruit of the Spirit, one fruit with nine components.

Today's Fire Scripture is a scriptural exposition on the
Christian life. Starting from verse 9 all through to the end. It instructs us
on the dos and don'ts, especially in relating to others. By doing all these
under divine enabling grace, you are known to be a true believer in Christ.

The question is, are you truly exuding the virtues of Christ? Do
you have a kind heart? How kind are you to your fellow men? If truly you are
for Christ, it should come easy for you to do good to others without expecting
a reward. Remember the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37). The priest
and the Levite gave flimsy reasons to ignore and abandon the wounded man. It
was only the Samaritan who found it necessary to help. This was an act of
kindness, backed up with the spirit of goodness.
Beloved, life cannot be lived in isolation; we need other people
to survive. The Bible enjoins us to bear each other's burden in order to fulfil
the law of Christ. God is good, and He showers us with His goodness. We are
expected to do the same, thereby demonstrating the love of Christ, winning more
souls and expanding the Kingdom of God. Become the epistle for others to read.
Do good!
