“But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.”
1 Corinthians 12:31
SEED OF LOVE.
How do you love God? You love God by the people you see around you. You are going to give account of what you did to somebody on earth; for that which you did to someone on earth, you have done unto God. Any man you find who can speak in tongues; raise the dead more than Lazarus and he does not possess love, is of the devil! It is possible for someone to be anointed without having love. Have you ever wondered why some people will rise to stardom in the Spirit and will fall easily without rising up again? It is easy for somebody to fall! This is because in their blooming days, in the days of their glamour that which was misused by them on the way up; on their way down they did not find it again. So, nobody could raise them up while they were down, because they never raised anybody up when they were up. When you see anointing at its best, what you find there is not prayer and fasting – it is LOVE. John is a beloved and God spoke through him and said, “If you can love, you are of God.”(see 1 John 4:20-21) A smoker can love while a preacher may not love; an armed robber may love while a bishop may not have love in him. This is the core of Christianity. God is not interested in how many buildings you have for Him. God is not interested in how many members you trained on earth. Your popularity in heaven is not going to be determined by your fame on earth. You might be known on earth and disowned in heaven! Love is God and God is love. If you knew that the person you gossiped yesterday is going to determine your eternity, you will not gossip anymore; but because you are ignorant, you open your mouth in vanity and foolishness to discuss somebody who is holding on to your destiny. The person may be small in stature and status but that person who does not have status has encomium in heaven. You may have everything but in the absence of love, you are a mere nonentity. A hopeless person here is hopeful there!
Pray this:
Jesus change my heart. Give me a heart of love to be able to show love to people as you love me.
