True meaning of "Love"

 Matthew  22:39  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.


 One of the greatest ways to show you love someone is to pray for that person. Love is an affection and also a decision, it's the connection of your heart to the delight of another, however a lot of times, many confuse love with "feelings", when you feel connected to someone, you say you love that person, is that love? Oh no! Love often times is a decision and affection, and often times this affection drives you to desire good for that person, you begin to see that person as yourself, and whatever you'd choose to do for yourself will correspondingly be the same thing you'd choose to do for that person, that's why Jesus said "... Love your neighbour as yourself" . Love is only defined when you desire for someone what you desire for yourself. Without a question of doubt, you pray for  yourself frequently, now it's time to channel prayers for others, the greatest ministry in the Temple of God has always been the Ministry of Intercession. When you study through all the glorious passages of the Old Testament, you see Priests interceding for others, and even much more in the New Testament, the Bible says "we are kings and priests unto the. father" (Rev1:6). Until you pray for someone, you're not qualified to say you love that person. Prayer is the greatest love shown to another. Do have a glorious weekend ahead.

Priority information

  Proverbs  16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...

Taking the Virtual edge

Psalms  133:1 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" 133:2 "It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;" The beauty of Christianity is in fellowship. Well, due to certain 'developments' around the globe, there's been restrictions on public gatherings, however, this should never put an embargo on fellowshipping with one another as Christians. I've often thought to myself, the internet came at the very right time, the internet is for the advantage of believers. Now, with the internet, we can reach much more people with the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Some people, otherwise who wouldn't have come to Church physically might most definitely stumble on a Christian event online and then believe in Jesus. I heard of a lady who didn't go to Church because she was of a different religion and being afr...
