Romans 12:14 NKJV

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

Romans 12:14 NKJV

This is a powerful reminder that we who are born again in the likeness of Christ and filled with His power should not display the fruits of darkness. Instead, we are to display the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Our faith and our trust in God, our profession and our confession will face the test in this world. When that test comes, we must make sure that what we display resembles Christ and His likeness.

Life is full of tests, from the time we wake up till we lay our head to rest, we face tests in life. We make choices everyday to display God or to display our frustration according to our circumstances.

Paul is saying when we are challenged and may hold the right in the natural to react according to our flesh. We must remember we have been equipped in the spirit to display godly character that reflects the power of God.

Our true strength is in how we control ourselves to choose to display God and His likeness.

We know that we have passed the test when we display Godly characters in the midst of the most challenging times.

We can bless because we have received all spiritual blessings and we can overcome because we are more than a conqueror.

Let us boldly display the likeness of God in every test that comes our way.

Live in the blessings,

Ps Ambrose
