Aug. 18 – THE FORCE OF LOVE

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” — JOHN 3:16

Love is the greatest force on earth. The love that God has for man is so strong that it compelled Him to send His only begotten Son down to earth to redeem us. God is a God of covenant. Anytime He wants to enter into a serious relationship with a man, He makes a covenant with him. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Through the Lord Jesus, God entered into a covenant of love with man.

As long as a believer continues to love the Lord and walk in love, the covenant of God’s love remains strong over him. His loving kindness will never be taken from such a believer. His faithfulness to the believer will never fail. This means that as a child of God, there must not be any hatred in your heart. The moment you keep hatred in your heart, you deny yourself the glory of God. As long as you walk in bitterness and hatred, you have walked out of the covenant of love. This is the reason so many Christians are not prospering. They automatically step out of the atmosphere of prosperity because of bitterness and envy in their hearts.

Prayer: Pray and ask God to help you walk in genuine love.
