#perfectlovechallenge


Wow! While studying the Bible yesterday I was presented a challenge by God and had to get the PLB team involved asap. Check out the Scripture below.

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Did you see that word? The one most of us dread and consider totally impractical is featured in this Scripture... right there as the 8th and 23rd words 😃.

But really do you think it is really possible to practise "perfect" love? Pls comment below and let the world know!

I know the word "PERFECT" scares the crap outta people but when God says "perfect" is possible then it means we are entirely fashioned within and without to do it.
There's absolutely no reservation in this Scripture as regards whether or not it is possible to be "perfect" in love in this transient world!
I think it's safe to say that it is possible to be perfect (fully mature) in love toward God and man... at least that's what this Scripture shows us. Many don't know what it means to be perfect in love talk less of being or knowing anyone who is, so I found other Scriptures to give us a guide into what it means to have perfect love. See some of them below.

1. 1 John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

So, this one is basically straight to the point... If you do and live the Word of God perpetually you are walking in perfect love. 1Corinthians13 (all of it) is the best love book you'll ever read, we can make the thoughts and teachings there our love-guide in life.

2. 1 John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Loving your neighbour (everyone you come in contact with) so much equals perfect love! Kabling! 👌

3. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Also so simple... eliminate fear from your life and perfect love is the result! Perfect love should exterminate fear.

Everyone "loves" actually. Even the craziest dudes in the world usually love at least 2 people- themselves and probably their mother or lover of some sort but "perfect" love is an entirely different ball game.
So the PLB team decided to initiate a challenge which is- can we in the next 4 months practise the 3 points above so much that we'd be certain we're "perfect" in love at the end of the 4 months period?
We chose 4 months simply because love has 4 letters 😉 so if you think you need more months pls don't hesitate but let's all do 4 months first then we'll know where we're headed from there.

Also drop your comments if you think it's actually possible to have and practise "perfect" love or not. We love you perfectly... already😆💖☺.

Count the Cost

  Luke  14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? I'd never forget a knowledge I got in my Economics class while I was in my Pre-degree programme in 2013. The lecturer asked "what comes first, consumption or production?", without any hesitation, everyone shouted " Production ". The lecturer looking at us unsatisfied with some subtle grin on his face, asked " why?" , a guy raised his hand confidently, got up and said " because we produce before consumption can take place", the lecturer laughed, and we all for a minute looked bemused with certain indistinct chatters here and there, after some minutes, the lecturer called the young man and asked "so what happens when you produce and there's no one to consume it", and for about some few seconds, there was a seeming silence in the hall, you could hear a pin drop. The loud silence was fol...
