Proverbs 17:13 “Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house”
Reciprocity involves making mutually beneficial exchanges with other people. In other words, you respond to a gesture or action that has benefited you by making a corresponding one.
Life sometimes moves in turns. It gives everyone different opportunities. At one point it will put you in a privileged position and at another point, it will put you in a position to be blessed by those in the privileged position. Whichever side of life you appear on, God wants you to do good but more is required of those to whom an act of kindness or goodness is shown.
Never forget to do good in return for the good others have done for and to you. Doing good in return for the good done for you is also one way to express your gratitude not only that it shows that you are thoughtful.
The good you have and must do to others who might have been a great blessing to your life may not necessarily be financial. It may be an act of good conduct and honour towards them. It also involves not doing things that will bring them any form of disadvantage.
You see, you must always have it at heart to relate well to the people that God has used and is still using to bless your life. People who have done you good must not be rewarded by evil from your hands. It would be wise to do nothing at all than to pay them back with evil.
It is not love to be wicked towards people who have once sacrificed their comfort for your achievements in life. Whatever the occasion may be, “render good” for the good you have once enjoyed.
It is strange that we have people who are wicked towards their parents. They now fight and pray against their parents who once helped them, fed them, schooled them and trained them. Others also fight and malign pastors that God used to get them saved.
Be guided by God’s word and do good to all men especially those who are of the household of faith and the ones that God used and is still using to bless you.
