You can’t overpay the debt of love to the brethren. When Jesus said that we should love one another as His disciples, He didn’t put an expiry date to that command; neither did He add exceptions to it.
You don’t have to stop everything you’re doing to keep your life moving on, like quitting your job. Just dedicate at least one hour each day to be with God in fellowship (prayer, Bible Study, listening to ministrations, reading Christian books, etc.), and be consistent with it. You’ll see how much God will transform your life in a short time.
Almost everybody learns to be gentle. But gentility can be expressed better by believers who walk in understanding. Why? Because such people know how to do it with sincere God-inspired love from the heart.
God didn’t choose you just for no reason. No! Ephesians 1:4 says He chose you to be holy and without blame before Him in love.
You might have strong reasons to speak harsh words against those who attack the anointing upon your life to do God’s work in peace. But Assume the place of love and forgive them. Think well of your enemies. Don’t wish them to fall, although they deserve it.
Don’t let another believer’s dissimilar attitude destroy your countenance at times. Sometimes, God wants to teach you great things through the behaviours of such people and several life encounters whenever they are around.
You may be rich now after you’ve used dubious means to extort money from poor people in society – whether as a businessman or a fake minister. But God is watching you. He will judge whatever you’re doing that is against His Word.
God doesn’t want your mind to be filled with mixed knowledge of good and evil. Instead, He wants your mind to be filled with thoughts of His goodness every day, so much so that evil won’t be part of your thinking pattern.
Protect your relationship with Jesus from all forms of filth. For you are married to Him. And that means whatever you share with Him in secrecy must be guarded with all diligence.
When you love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, you are showing Him that He is the most important thing in your life. You also set yourself up for a life of peace, joy, and fulfilment.
In Matthew 7:12, Jesus says what I call the golden rule in scripture, which says, “… in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you…”. That means, you ought to be reciprocated in your demands of people’s treatment.
Just as Christ forgave us when we didn’t deserve forgiveness, be patient enough to forgive your loved ones. For love is patient.
