Text: 1 Corinthians 13:8 (KJV)
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fall; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
Due to our redemption in Christ, we have become pathfinders, and by so doing, we are supposed to go beyond normal, even in our love for God. We need to move from the point of knowing God just for the sake of being strong in the Lord to the point of doing exploits by His love. In our world of today, many people want to do great works, but they try to skip the process of growing their love for God. I tell you, it is impossible to skip this process and still understand God better. Daniel 11:32b- But the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. The question is, what is the degree of your love for God? Ask yourself, is my love for God practical, and can the people around me say or see God’s love in all that I do? We need to make our love for God visible to our environment, and this can only be done by us having a deep knowledge about the originator of love - God because you cannot exhibit the love of the person you don’t know. 1 John 4:7-8- Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Amazingly, the level of our knowledge of God takes us to a point where we are mentally strong with confidence, and that makes loving very easy. There is an aspect of God's nature in every one of us, and it always responds positively to love. There are qualities of love that make it possible to do exploit, and it is necessary to study the word of God so as to activate such attributes. For example, love never gives up but is patient. We can see a lot of those attributes in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. From our text of today, we learn that so many things will perish and vanish someday but charity never dies or vanishes. There is a great work that goes beyond giving your life to Christ, and these exploits and achievements are for God lovers that is, why we must strive to increase our love for him. Always remember, the hotter the love of God, the higher the level of exploits you achieve, so unlock your walk and work with Him today by seeking for a deeper knowledge of His love.
PRAYER POINTS:
1.Oh Lord, may our love never cease no matter the distractions around but receive the ability to keep growing in His kingdom, in Jesus name.
2. Father, please help us to grow in grace as You empower us supernaturally, in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE: His free breath is actually an indication of His love for us? So, how much did you pay for oxygen of today?
