LOVE FULFILLS THE LAW

MEMORY VERSE: Owe no man anything, but to love one another; for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law, Romans 13:8.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deut 4, Ps 86-87, Isa 32, Rev 2.

The fact that a brother is part of the ushering team does not mean he knows God. The fact that a sister is part of the choir does not mean she knows God. The fact that a fellow speaks in tongue for an hour every morning does not mean he knows God, after all demons also speak in tongues. The fact that a group of people meet every Sunday for Sunday services and every other day in the week for mid week services, does not mean they know God after all occults meet during the week too. How do you know a fellow who knows God? 1 John 4:8 says whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. I want you to pay attention to the word ‘whoever’. When the bible says whoever no one is exempted - evangelist, pastor, prophet, choir master or mistress , general overseer just name it. There are many tongue speaking believers who are not in talking terms with their neighbors , such people are only fooling themselves if they think they know God. There are many pastors who are not in talking terms with their spouses , it does not matter how many years they have spent in ministry they don’t know God.

1 Corinthians 13:2 says and though I have the gifts of prophecy, and understand all mysteries , and all knowledge ; and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains , but have no love, I am nothing. Spiritual gifts without love leads to problems. If you don’t believe me ask Samson. There is no record of Samson forgiving anyone or giving anyone a second chance in the bible. If you offend him, you are as good as dead. Samson did not love God either. If He loved God, he wont be committing adultery. According to John 14:15 , if you love God, you will obey his commandments. Despite the fact that he was dripping with anointing, he still ended up in the hands of his enemies because he had no love in him. Faith only works by love. Galatians 5:6 says for in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

A father who is living in love will never curse his spiritual or physical son . Romans 13:8 says Owe no man anything, but to love one another; for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. If you love your neighbours as your self, you will never hurt them. When you truly love someone , you will not lie to them. All of God’s law is summed up in love. If you love , you will not cheat , you will not steal , you will not kill , you will not gossip. You are not only expected to love God and your neighbour, you are expected to love yourself. No one loves himself and destroy his liver with alcohol . A fellow who loves himself will never smoke cigarette, not only that he will never permit anyone to smoke around him because second hand smoke causes diseases, disability and death.

PRAYER POINT : Father , please give me the grace to love you , my neighbour and myself.
