'Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good'. Romans 12:21

Many a time we are targeted by the world and its attacks (with reason or else a purposeful and a planned one) The natural tendency is to retaliate. (it turn out to be rather ‘hit –back’ in same force formula.)

Do not be "defeated" by the injury you have  received from others.

 Do not experience or channel your temper to be motivated- Your Christian principles to be abandoned- your mild, calm, cordial, kind, and compassionate temper to be disturbed by hurts which you may experience. 

Rather maintain your Christian principles amidst all opposition, and show the power of the gospel. Show that you are mightier than the others( you have the great power installed in you  by the Almighty Father)

‘The wise in heart are called discerning, and gracious words promote instruction. Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent, but folly brings punishment to fools. The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instruction. Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Proverbs 16:22.

But overcome evil with good - That is, restrain or crush evil by doing good to others. Show them the loveliness of a better spirit; the power of kindness and compassion; the value of an amiable, Christian behavior. Thus, you may disarm them from their rage, and you may be the means to bring them  to better minds (a better person).

Satan, who is very busy to stir up the corruption ,hatred and seek to revenge; but ‘Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.’James 4:7

‘ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes’. Ephesians 6:11 

 'Do not repay anyone evil for evil. 

Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.

 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 

Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. 

On the contrary: 
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
 if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. 

In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:20

  Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Romans 13:1
 When such thought over powers you , be on alert and watchful.

Put a chain to tie your thoughts and the other follow up deals.

Praise God ....

 now you are in the right path.

God bless
