KEY SCRIPTURE: John 15:13 KJV “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Love, as commanded by the Lord, is the answer for the pain, sorrow and anguish of men. Man’s pain is largely man-made. The scriptures prophesied that there would be perilous times in the last days. This would be caused by men loving themselves more than loving God (2 Tim 3:1-3). When men love themselves and do not love God, they become the most dangerous creatures on the earth. Man is made in the image of God and so He or she is very sophisticated. He would be lying on the same bed with his wife, yet would be speaking in a coded language to a girlfriend on his mobile phone. A person lays hold of your birthday, and within the week and can empty your account at the bank. This is the result of men loving themselves more than God.

The Jesus commandment, which is laying your life for your brothers introduces a calm breeze into the already scorchy atmosphere. This kind of love, would cause the Christian wife, not be developing buildings while the husband is totally ignorant about it. The husband would also not do the same or, be raising a family elsewhere completely at the blindside of the wife. Those who encounter it, no longer siphon monies from government establishments, to live ostentatiously. The child of God will be so cautious about his neighbour such that, when driving, he would not splash mud on passersby on rainy days.

Anyone, who truly acknowledges that he is dead with Jesus gives great value to all men, even to the madman by the roadside. He sees people from God’s viewpoint. He sees men as God’s most treasured beings who need to be valued above all things. He counts his role on the earth as an agent of God on earth to dispense God’s acts to men. His friends are very precious to him, as well as those who do not hold any relationship with Him. Nobody would be treated with contempt because the love of God has filled his heart.

Dear child of God, may we break the cycle of hurts and pain, men are inflicting on their fellow humans by acknowledging our true status in Christ. Start it in your own world and you would gradually have a greater impact on our world.

CONFESSION

I am born of God, and I am dead with Jesus. It is Christ alive in me. I manifest His peace and love to all who come my way. Everyone is very precious to me irrespective of his tribe, status or religion. I live a life of miracles because the Spirit of God is the very one expressing Himself through me flowing through me to touch hurting people.

THOUGHT: THE JESUS LOVE LIBERATES YOU FROM YOURSELF, AND BLESSES OTHERS AROUND ALSO.
