The scripture in Romans 12:21 says, “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” My beloved brethren in Christ, many of us get upset because brethren cause us to become agitated, sometimes we abandon our Christian principles even for a moment, our mild, kind benevolent temper ruffled by opposition or injury which we may experience. I beseech you brethren maintain your christian principles in every opposition. This is where evil overcomes the child of God, if we engage in contention with contentious people who seek our hurt. Instead we should overcome, subdue and vanquish every evil with good. Show the true nature of a Christian, love, kindness, and the Spirit of calm benevolence in order to disarm the evil plots against us.

Father, in Jesus’ name, help us to show patience and peace in instances where we are tempted to do otherwise, so that we may be the bringers of Your peace to every situation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
