Ministry Of the Word (MOW): True Spirituality
Improving our Spiritual Understanding
Memory Verse
“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love” (1John 4:8).
Beloved
God is love. Without God, there can be no true love. No human being can love exactly like God. However, if a man has the Spirit of God in great measure, he can demonstrate visible love on earth. Jesus Christ was an embodiment of God’s love on earth. Two scriptures clearly revealed God’s love:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not” (1John 3:1)
We can see from the above two scriptures that due to immense love, God the Father gave his beloved Son, Jesus Christ to die for us that we should become sons of God. Hallelujah! What a measure of love.
Apostle Paul gave us an extraordinary insight into the nature of God’s love. Please permit me to quote the NIV version of the bible:
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love” ( 1Corinthians 13:4-13).
Love is greater than everything else! Love is greater than FAITH. Love is greater than HOPE.
To grow spiritually requires daily meditation with the word of God (Joshua 1:8) and seeking first the kingdom of God and its righteousness (Matthew 6:33). It also requires total fear of God, and spiritual training in the word of God: “Train yourself to be godly”(1Tim 4:7-8 NIV).
Prayer
Dear Father, please reveal your love to us in details and help us to love in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
Yours in the Vineyard of Christ.
