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...

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...

Peace, Soundness of Mind

  2 Timothy  1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. " I'm a firm believer that one of the most vital if not the most vital aspect of the human health is the mental health. Its so important to have a mind that's put together. A lot of times, there are challenges that come our way which test our mental capacity and strength, some times they are quite overwhelming, making it seem like we just need to go somewhere solitary to have a "cool off", however the scriptures promises something quite lovely. God says to those who accept Him in their lives, He has given "... a sound mind" , the phrase "sound mind" is translated from the Greek word "Sophronismos", which means " a mental state well balanced with accurate judgement". This is the kind of mind you have in Christ. A mind configured to make accurate and sound judgement, a mind that's in the rest of God. Most i...
