*TOPIC: THE SCHOOL OF LOVE*
"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” Matthew 22:37
*MESSAGE*
According to Apostle Paul, “If I could speak all languages of earth and of angels, and didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbals.” And according to John the beloved, God is Love. One of the ways we can seek to comprehend this essential attribute of God is by likening it to a school. God Himself is the founder of this school of love, and He has made His Son, Jesus Christ, the Vice Chancellor and the Holy Spirit the registrar.
The school anthem can be likened to the melodious words of John 3:16 which says that God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. To please the management of the school, however, there are two principles to follow:
*1. You must love God with your heart.* We do this by keeping His commandment as it is written in His Holy word (John 14:15). We choose to love God because He loved us first. Besides, He’s got good plans for our lives (Jeremiah 29:11).
*2. You must love your neighbour as yourself.* If you want your neighbour to do good, then make the first move in doing good to him or her. As we continue to live out our Chrisianity, let us always consider our steps that we may follow in the steps of Jesus. We should consider how to be like our Father in heaven Who gave unto us His only begotten Son.
*ACTION POINT*
?️ Loving God and your neighbour are essential in our Kingdom race.
*SCRIPTURES*
Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Matthew 22:39
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Father, ignite fresh hunger for Your Word in me in the name of Jesus.
2. O Lord, uproot every seed of hatred in my life.
3. I receive grace to love like Christ in the name of Jesus
