CHANNELS OF FULLFILLMENT DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR FEBRUARY 11, 2022 (Committed to others.)
TOPIC: Committed to others.
TEXT: (1 John 4 vs. 9 – 12), (1 John 3 vs. 10)
One of the very secret of progress is being committed to those we love. Love is an act of God that brings transformation and grace in others. Not too long ago BBC news read about an elderly couple who had been married for 60 years, reunited after 221 days apart. The reunion was a private one though someone recorded with a camera. Joseph the husband was hospitalized in March 2020 but couldn’t have visitors because of Covid-19 restrictions. Eve his wife met her husband again at the care home where they lived and was in tears to see her husband. One of the greatest effort of righteousness is to be committed to those in your life. Commitment is the greatest sign of love.
How can you love God well when you despise your neighbour? “In this the children of God are made manifest and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother” (1 John 3 vs. 10). Doing the mind of God is regarding the people who are connected to you. There are women who are punctual and appears frequent in Godly meetings, yet they despise their homes and disregards their husbands.
There are men who are also committed to God’s work but ignore the wife of their youth, keeping her unloved and depressed. How can you be God’s part if you haven’t lived like Him among men? It is the Love that you showed to others that will compel them to come after you and make a team with you. This goes down to every area of function. Most times is not your anointing as a minister that keeps people glued to you, it is the love of God that you showed them.
Now Digest verse 12 of today’s scripture where it says, “No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us”. Now God’s love is perfected in us when we love others, I am kind of surprised to learn that it is not even when we speak in tongues. As you engage in godly activities also ensure you walk in Love. Keep the Fire of prayers burning!
PRAYER:
- Oh God, I thank you for your word to me.
- Jesus, show me your light and your mercy, Amen!
- Father, I receive the grace and the wisdom to walk in love.
- Faithful God we shall not be low or less than Miracles and anointing in Jesus name, Amen!
