This week I went for my Tuesday Zoe fellowship and Apostle Anthony shared a word that made me think twice on how I view people that have decided to be my enemies. So he shared on the life of Hannah and Peninah. How Peninah made it her business to taunt and humiliate Hannah. You see, when someone does not like you, you feel like they are wrong and need to be corrected in their thoughts about you and how they don't find you as nice as you think you are. That's their judgement over you, you cannot change it but you can learn something new in the moments of friction that come with living with people that have a problem with who you are, how much you have achieved and where you are at in life.(Those are the kind that must have missed a lot of love in their childhood and in their adulthood.)
So, Apostle Anthony had something say about the Peninahs in our lives."Thank God for the Peninahs, for they wake you up in the middle of the night to pray, thank God for the Peninahs for they make it easy for your feet to touch the ground." That beat me to a new way to look at people that will go far and beyond in making a person's life a little hell.
So I am thanking God for my Peninahs, those that have made it their business to make my life a misery. I thank God for the times that I was made a praying Hannah until God came through. It has also taught me to thank God for the storms that show up. It is always a blessing to see hope in despair. I have come to see beauty beyond now and to appreciate the hurdles that have shown up on my journey on earth.
Now I know when God says that he makes, all things for good, for them that love the Lord. Now I can learn to look at people and situations as push aheads for my greater glory. For sure they do come with pain, and bruise the heart but I have also learnt that they also come with victory over things that used to take the place of the peace that we can get in them.
They are rendered powerless because then instead of dwelling on them, you learn like Hannah to cry for the Lord and to give it to the Lord at all times.
Revenge as nice as it smell as a dish, I have learnt like Hannah that God's vengeance is the ultimate gift we can give the Peninahs in our lives. So thank God for them and thank God for the victory that will come in the end.
