Maturing
in the God kind of love..
I cannot sit here and watch another suffer when I have knowledge
that they don't yet possess. The love of God constrains us. I
am committed to using the faith I have developed in God's
grace to bless you, to help you, to get you a little further down
the road of life. I live for you. You are my brothers and sisters
in Christ, a part of me and I of you. "We are members one of
another" All that I have is yours. When I see you in need, a
divine compassion rises up in me to meet that need by the power
of God. Not sympathy, for sympathy can only say "I'm
sorry for you, I wish I could do something." Compassion says
"I'm sorry for you, the Lord is here, praise God we can
do something" and I give of my self to meet your needs. I
give of my faith and love to bring Gods healing power to your
body. I give of my finances to bless you, to meet your need to
the glory of God. I give of my time to pray for you.
I believe in you. You are without price in my eyes, not just
Gods. "He that loves God, loves him that is born of
Him." If I can help you if any way, regardless of cost to my
self, you've got it. For my sufficiency is not of my self but
my sufficiency is of God Who has given us of His Spirit. I'm
complete in Him. As His goodness flows out of me to meet others
needs, mine are met as well. As I give mercy, so I receive mercy.
I lay up for myself good treasure against the times to come. I
don't have to wonder whether His power will turn up, my faith
in His love will cause the Holy Ghost to move to meet your need.
I have become no respecter of persons. I seek to bring God's
goodness to all my brethren, regardless of their response to me.
I thank God for them. I love those that don't love me. I pray
for those that despitefully use me. I speak well of those that
speak evil of me. I take no account, pay no attention to evil
things either said or done to me. This is not a feeling, it is a
way of life. It is life. Jesus is the way, the truth and the
life. I am constantly seeking and looking for ways to bless and
help you. I ask the Lord to show me who is in need. The body is
held together by that which every joint supplies. I am a
supplying joint, ever ready to give out to others what I have
received of the Lord, for it belongs to Him. I am just a steward
of it. Jesus is the author of my faith. Without Him I would have
no faith. I live to glorify Him Who loved me and gave himself for
me.
I am growing. I have put away childish things. Dead branches that
bore the fruits of competitiveness with my fellow ministers,
desires to see self exalted, to be noticed by others, have been
pruned off. My desire is to do always those things that please
the Father. To be noticed by Him, to be great in His eyes. To be
like Jesus Christ is my consuming desire. I have no greater joy
than to see the brethren prosper and be in health. To watch and
to help them grow in grace and in the knowledge of God and of
Jesus our Lord. I am saddened when I see a brother or sister in
need. I minister boldly wherever I am. I do it openly as Jesus
did. I am not conventional. Blind men cry out louder, a multitude
tells them to shut up, Jesus says bring them here. Jairus, the
ruler of the synagogue interrupts the Lords sermon, Jesus stops
teaching and goes to meet the need. Friends of a paralysed man
tear open a ceiling while the Lord is teaching. Jesus meets the
need.
God's love in me cannot be contained by tradition. I am
learning to move by the Holy Ghost as He wills and directs. There
is no confusion and Jesus will be glorified. My heart cry now is
“What can I do for you? How can I use God’s power to
bless you and to glorify His name?” I leap at opportunities
to put my faith with others. I don't have dominion over your
faith but I can get close to it if you will let me! I can sure be
a helper of your joy, for it is by faith we stand. My faith
works, is energised, by my love for others, not just my beloved
brothers and sisters but also for a world that does not know
about Jesus Christ. The driving force in me is to communicate the
gospel to them in the power of the Holy Ghost. I labour night and
day, using the faith I've developed in God's grace and
Word to prosper the works of my hands so I can pour it into
others who are out there preaching, doing the work of God. I
don't care what denomination they are. We have a common goal.
We have come into the unity of the faith of Jesus Christ, not
divided by the petty winds of doctrine. I am in debt to the
world. I have got something they haven't. I have the
knowledge of God's Son in me. I know how to get them saved, I
know what to do. I am growing up in God. He has taught me well. I
have an intimate relationship with Him. My fellowship with Him is
getting closer and closer.
His gift in me is growing stronger and stronger and it is making
room for me to minister to others. He will do it! He is able and
willing. He's perfecting that which concerns me. I delight to
do His will. There is peace, all is well. I count the loss of all
things as refuse, as I seek after the knowledge of Him. He
blesses me with more and more knowledge of His Son, Jesus Christ,
my Lord and saviour. This knowledge, revealed to my heart by the
Holy Ghost, causes me to triumph and puts me deeper in debt. For
once I have received something from the Lord, I must give it away
to others that I myself might keep it. If I seek to keep it to my
self, I will end up losing it. I give out freely what I have
received and more comes.
I am walking in the light of His Word. I have the light of life.
I harbour no bitterness in me, lest it defile me. I walk in
forgiveness to those who have wronged me. My hopes abound. I am
unstoppable. No weapon formed against me prospers, for out of it
all the Lord delivers me. He keeps me from falling and preserves
me blameless unto the coming of His kingdom, to Whom be the
praise and glory for ever and ever, amen.
To develop the God kind of love in our lives is our goal
“Make love your great quest” 1 Cor 12 v1” Read
this discourse out loud every day, believe this kind of love is
happening in your heart, give God the glory for it and watch the
God kind of love grow supernaturally in your life.
Note: Do this for every day for a month. You will be amazed at
the transformation in your lives. Give the Lord something to work
with…
God Bless
