Beloved, hate was introduced to this world by our arch enemy, Satan, who hates everything that God loves, including you and I.
The world is filled with division, racism, genocide, tribalism, geopolitical wars which seem quite senseless. All rooted in hate.
As believers in Jesus Christ, it is important that we are aware of who the real hater is.
If you experience being πππππ πππππππ πππππ you are in good company, Satan uses other people to achieve his goal to hate us without any reason, including our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The Bible acknowledges that individuals, including those who follow Christ, may face hatred without cause. In fact most who were dedicated followers of Jesus Christ experienced deep hatred.
We too experience hate, sometimes from those who are supposed to love us the most. Or from others in our sphere of influence for no reason whatsoever.
It may be hatred from:
A neighbor
A family member
A trusted friend
A co-worker or boss
The list goes on.
In fact, Jesus Christ said in Johnβ¬ β15β¬:β23β¬-β25β¬ βAMPβ¬β¬ that;
β The one who hates Me also hates My Father.
If I had not done among them the works (attesting miracles) which no one else [ever] did, they would not have [the guilt of their] sin; but now [the fact is that] they have both seen [these works] and have hated Me [and continue to hate Me] and My Father as well.
But [this is so] that the word which has been written in their Law would be fulfilled, βThey hated Me without a cause.β
ββ
David also experienced hate quite a bit. He wrote in Psalmsβ¬ β35β¬:β19β¬-β21β¬ βAMPβ¬β¬
βDo not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me; Nor let those who hate me without cause wink their eye [maliciously]
For they do not speak peace, But they devise deceitful words [half-truths and lies] against those who are quiet in the land.
They open their mouths wide against me; They say, βAha, aha, our eyes have seen it!β
Also in Psalmsβ¬ β69β¬:β4β¬ βAMPβ¬β¬, David said;
β Those who hate me without cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, being my enemies wrongfully; I am forced to restore what I did not steal.β
In Matthewβ¬ β10β¬:β22β¬-β23β¬ βAMPβ¬β¬, Jesus directly address this experience, affirming that believers will be persecuted for their faith.
β And you will be hated by everyone because of [your association with]My name, but it is the one who has patiently persevered and endured to the end who will be saved.
When they persecute you in one city [because of your faith in Me], flee to the next; for I assure you and most solemnly say to you, you will not finish going through all the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.β
πππππ πππππππππ ππ ππ πππ ππ ππππππ πππππ πππ ππππ ππ.
Despite facing hatred, Jesus also calls us to loving our enemies and doing good to those who persecute us (Read Luke 6:27-36)
Lukeβ¬ β6β¬:β27β¬-β28β¬ βAMPβ¬β¬
β But I say to you who hear [Me and pay attention to My words]: Love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies, [make it a practice to] do good to those who hate you, bless and show kindness to those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.β
β You have heard that it was said, βYou shall love your neighbor (fellow man) and hate your enemy.β
Jesus commanded us in Matthewβ¬ β5β¬:β43β¬-β45β¬ βAMPβ¬β¬
β But I say to you, love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies and pray for those who persecute you or [dispitefully use you].
so that you may [show yourselves to] be the children of your Father who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on those who are evil and on those who are good, and makes the rain fall on the righteous [those who are morally upright] and the unrighteous [the unrepentant, those who oppose Him].β
ππππ ππ ππππππππππ ππππππ ππππππππ, ππ πππ ππ ππππ πππ πππππ(π) ππππ ππ πππ. πππ ππππ πππππ ππππππβπ πππππππ, ππ ππππ πππππ πππ ππππ ππ. .
I submit to you that it is impossible to love and pray for those who hate us or mistreat us without the power of the Holy Spirit in us.
In over 45 years of walking with the Lord as a believer in Christ, my experience is that God is faithful when we allow the Holy Spirit to influence us to obey Jesusβ commands. He gives us peace and rewards us with His comforting presence.
We must remember that we are overcomers with Jesus Christ.

Holy God, thank You for helping us to overcome hate with Your love in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit of the living God, I pray that You give us the mind of Christ, which helps us to overcome hate.
Jesus, bless us with Your enduring spirit, whenever we encounter hate.
Lord, we need Your power to do Your will as You commanded us.
Father, be glorified in our lives as we learn to overcome hate.
Abide with us at all times.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen 
Have a blessed day
