#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 πŸ˜ƒ.

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! πŸ‘Œ

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 πŸ˜‰ 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... alreadyπŸ˜†πŸ’–☺.

  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...

PLB Editorial- Confessions 201

Just a few words... James 3:2-3(Amplified translation) For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature. If we set bits in the horses' mouths to make them obey us, we can turn their whole bodies about. We must never disesteem the power of words, we can steer our lives (our entire course of existence) in the direction we choose with our words. The Scripture above claims that if (and it's possible) we can master our tongue (master words), then we are a perfect and fully developed spiritual entity able to determine the circumstances and results of our being. Mehn! Use words rightly on yourself and others and watch your life beam with incredible supernatural radiance. You can proclaim the words below: I live a supernatural life everyday I am in the class of almighty G...

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...
