“Not rendering
evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that
ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.” 1 Peter 3:9(KJV)
Your attitude is
a revelation of your knowledge. Every time you act, you are expressing your
knowledge. Every time you talk, you are revealing your level of knowledge.
How do you
respond when someone does evil to you? Instead of avenging yourself, revenge
with a blessing. I remember many years ago when I was in Benin, I taught my
brethren how to overcome evil with good. It is important that you know that
when identity is defined, destiny is determined. In other words, you are acting
in conformity with the picture that you see of yourself.
God does not
want you to act and function like the natural man. Who when you speak badly of
him, he speaks badly of you. When you hurt him, he hurts you back. But he says
that you should on the contrary bless. Why? Because you know that you have been
called to inherit a blessing.
If you have the
blessing functioning in your life, it will make you to become all that you were
born to be. You will be able to do what you were born to do and you will be
able to have what God has ordained for you to have irrespective of what anybody
does against you.
So the blessed
man cannot be disadvantaged, because he has the empowerment to be what he was
born to be, to do what he was born to do and to have all that he was born to
have. But if you lack this knowledge in your life, you will function beneath
your calling.
CONFESSION
The
blessing is functioning in my life today helping me become all I was born to
be, empowering me to do what I was born to do and attracting to me all that I
was born to have. Amen.

John 8:32, James 1:25.
DOING THE WORD
Do not avenge yourself because you are blessed. Nothing can work against you,
therefore overcome evil with good.
