For years I thought that the poetry which is a quotation from this passage of the New Testament is wrong. I was not enough to understand grace. One day there I was in the training course and the leader gave us the real meaning of loading coal on his head.
Proverbs 25: 21-22
21 If your enemies are hungry, give bread to eat. If he is thirsty, please let me drink water. 22 You will lay the coal of fire on your head and the Lord will reward you.
Many people think that if you feed your enemies or give your enemies drinks it will really hurt you as if you placed hot coal on his head. This is incorrectly understood by the Bible and does not have the same meaning as not being living in this era.
When Solomon wrote this, it was quoted in NT 's words, but all over the night there were people in all the villages and made a hot coal overnight. Every night in the early morning, this man puts all the coal in a fountain and puts it on the head, goes home from home and gives enough coal to start the fire.
So when talking about stacking fire stones on your head, you say you eat your enemies, kindly look at him and make him a blessing to your community. One way is that the soldiers you captured and raised will return to where they came and tell them from attacking you and your people again.
This verse also says that if you treat enemies with love, the Father of God will reward you for your efforts. God does not miss anything. Our Father in the heaven is not too busy to see all the things we do, seeing all we are doing.
