PERFECT LOVE

1 John 4:8-18


The best way to describe God is love! The best way to describe love is God!
God is love.

God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son… (John 3:16).

Greater love has no man than this, that a man should lay down His life for His friends (John 15:13).

Until your love life is perfected, you will never experience the fullness of God.

Thank God for your career life, academic life, etc. However, for you to enjoy an astounding success in all these, you must be fully established in the love of God.

Love God by showcasing His love around people.
Man is an extension of God, created in the image of God. Service to people is service to God.
It’s not possible to claim to love God if you find it difficult to love people around you (Matt. 25:31-40).

Love God with all your heart, mind and soul; Love your neighbour as yourself.
Upon these two commandments hang the law and the prophets (Matt. 22:37-40).

The royal law – love your neighbour as yourself… James 2:8.
Love is the fulfilment of the law (Rom. 13:10; Gal. 5:14).
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love (1 Cor. 13:13).
Love activates faith (Gal. 5:6).

Love is the more excellent way. 1 Cor. 12:31, 13:1

A new commandment I give unto you…John 13:34-35

IF YOU LOVE GOD, HOW WILL IT SHOW?
It will show through the things you do to people around you.
Agape love – unconditional love, selfless love, sacrificial love.
It is the nature and character of God.

When you love people, you don’t compete with them, you complete them.
When you love people, you are not proud against them, you are proud of them. When you love someone, you don’t just try to tolerate them, you also appreciate and celebrate them.

Wherever perfect love exists (family, church, group, organisation, etc.), fear becomes eradicated. Perfect love casts out every form of fear!

People who loves God loves the truth, and they love to be told the truth, no matter how hard it hits them.

Many folks lack the anointing of the Holy Spirit because you don’t show love!
Their heads lack the anointing because you don’t understand the mystery of love.

The love of God, unconditional love, undiluted love, Godly induced love fuels the anointing of the Holy Spirit in one’s life!

When we are entrenched in the Spirit of Love, there is a heavy dose of the release of God’s anointing upon our lives – Gal 5:22-23

He that has love has all things.
