EVIL FOR GOOD?
6th June, 2026
READ: Psalm 109:1-20
For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Psalm 109:4-5
There are those who repay your love by becoming enemies. I have appointed, ordained and consecrated several pastors and bishops into the ministry. That was an act of love. It was an act where I demonstrated confidence in these people. I told the world that I believed in them and that they were good people.
Some of these people whom I loved became my adversaries. One of my pastors told his friends that he was now my sworn enemy and he would live and work to destroy me.
I also had a pastor who told his friend about some anonymous accusations that everyone was wondering about. He told him, “I am the secret enemy of the Bishop and I am the anonymous caller.”
I was amazed that people that I had loved would be happy to repay my love by becoming my enemies. I wondered why they were happy about being called enemies. I wondered, “Did they not learn anything whilst they were with me?”
You must never become one of those who are unthankful.
King David prayed down curses on those who had repaid his good with evil. He was incensed by those who had responded to his goodness by doing him harm. Read his prayers and learn to fear the sin of being ungrateful.
“AND THEY HAVE REWARDED ME EVIL FOR GOOD, AND HATRED FOR MY LOVE. SET THOU A WICKED MAN OVER HIM: AND LET SATAN STAND AT HIS RIGHT HAND. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few; and let another take his office” (Psalm 109:5-8).
It is important to have the fear of the Lord and a proper respect for the word of God. Curses abound for those who repay good with evil.
