Hallelujah!
Shall we lift our hands to heaven and give God glory this morning for the privilege and the blessing of being in His presence. Lift your voice and give Him thanks and give Him all the praise that is due unto Him. Make sure your voice of gratitude is heard on high. Appreciate Him. Father we thank You, we bless Your Holy name. Thank You mighty God in Jesus precious name we prayed.
I believe God that the Spirit of the Lord will grant us light in the name of Jesus. The subject we are looking at this morning is:
EXTOLLING THE VIRTUES OF LOVE.
1 Corinthians 13:13
This Scripture illuminates the three forces that rule the universe; faith love and hope. And of the three the Bible tells us the greatest is love. Church Gist. So anyone that will maximize their lives, their destiny and more importantly the promised land requires the virtue of love.
Where the love of God comes alive in the heart of a man, that individuals becomes a wonder to behold. Church Gist.My prayer for each one of us is that upon this mountain, the love of God will be quickened afresh in our hearts.
So according to Scriptures therefore, it is important for us to understand the necessity of the virtue of love (1 Corinthians 12). The Bible tells us at the conclusion of that chapter; however I show unto you a more excellent way. In other words, when the force of love is engaged, it exceeds all other things.
- My prayer today is that this virtue of love will be quickened afresh in our hearts in the name of Jesus.
Jesus speaking in the book of Matthew 22:36-40, he was asking master, what is the greatest commandment in the law and Jesus answered; thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. Church Gist. So Jesus made it absolutely clear that the condition or the greatest of the laws is the law of love (Deuteronomy 11:13).
So the virtue of love is the most preeminent of laws. When it comes to the promised land, the virtue of love is the most preeminent of laws. In any legal system, laws are in categories. There are what we call minor offences and there are others that are major offences.
When the law of love is broken, all falls apart. But when the law of love is in place, all come together (Romans 13:19). It becomes important for you and I to understand the importance, the necessity of love and I believe that today via God’s word coming our way, the Spirit of God will come upon us quickening our hearts to love Him more than before.
The question therefore we are going to address is:
WHAT IS IN THE VIRTUE OF LOVE?
- Love empowers our faith to deliver maximally. Galatians 5:6. The profit of faith is only secured by love. Until a man’s heart is burning for God, that individual’s faith will stop working in life. The battery of your faith is your love. Church Gist.Where love is out of place, faith loses functionality (1 Corinthians 13:2). No matter how much you try to build your faith, it is the potency of your love that determines your faith.
The depth of our love for God determines the height of the command of our faith. Mark 9:23. It is faith that brings us to the realm of possibility but love power faith into productivity.
It is the heart beat for God that Keep the faith delivering results in life. The question therefore is how much is your heart beating after God?
- My prayer for you is that by the encounter we having on this mountain, your heart will begin to pant after God.
