What comes first?

In this world, people are always looking for answers here and there say, answers for why they are living the way they do, why things go the way they do and so on.

But when you come to think of it, it's actually that the world isn’t giving those answers. The world doesn't bear those answers!

Today I would like to tell you why I am saying all this and actually not just give you the answer but also make you the one and the same !

Now in the book of 1 Corinthians 13:13 which says

"And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.",we learn something really beautiful!And by this same scripture I will share below a few of the major problems or questions many of you may be having but the world can't seem to give you an answer pertaining those questions.

So, do you really want to know where all of the trouble we see in church is coming from? Yes, I mean church and not the world!

Do you really want to know why people no longer want to pray and fellowship?Do you want to know why people aren’t givers anymore?Do you want to know why many in the world hate church?

As we study the Word of God , we tend to see repeatedly one lesson , one message and one language; Love ( Agape) is that Language in which the word of God is written in! This is the same Love that the Father loves the Son; it's the same love He has for all of us ! And in John 3:16 we quite see the best expression or manifestation of this great love of God;When He gave up His life just to have our lives saved from sin and reconciled back to our God our Father! It's the kinda love that gave up all for those who didn't care back to love Him; but thanks be to our God for now we know that Love because we have accepted the Son to permanently dwell in us!

It’s so amazing how God needed Love to save the world.And God is Love;He knew He was the only one who could save Humanity from the curse of sin, so He came.He just needed to use love to save us! Yes love came before saving. And it's actually true as a pattern that we don't scare people into salvation to have them walk perfect lives; no ! Perfect lives are created by yielding the sweet Love of God; and allowing God himself (love) to richly dwell in you;so that what fills in may explode to the outside! And you start ouzing out love because what's in you is love, Halleluyah! 

Love needs no weapon, it is it's own defense and it always wins!

Romans 5:8 says,"But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." I want you to replace the word "sinners" with "us" back then before we received Christ Jesus as our Lord and savior.

Here is a truth I would like you to first know; Christ didn’t first love you because you were right! Neither did He love you because you first loved Him, no no !

Christ didn’t die for you because you were worth saving, but because He was and is still love! He knew the only way He would save you was through loving you because all other ways had failed to work!

It took love for me and you to be saved.

And here is why we find a lot of problems in church;because church has forgotten what got them saved.Yes, love (Agape) is the issue we are dealing with !

Can I be honest you ? The difference between you and another person in the world is just that you have received the love Christ has loved you and yielded to it. As simple as that; when you understand this truth, you will stop judging your brother still battling with sins and actually strengthen his feeble knees!

So, question is how can you actually become a solution to the world? Taking time to  understand God’s immense and unconditional love for you life!

Quit begging with people to pray;give them and demonstrate Christ(Love),and they will find themselves on their knees praying from a relationship perspective with God!

Quit laboring to teach someone how that they should stop gossiping; rather teach them about love until they realize what happened to them; that they are new creatures born of an incorruptible seed!

The problem also is that even some of the  so called leaders in our churches have not understood this thing called love(Agape) , and thus the lack of this fundamental element is the root cause of the battles of we see in our churches!

So my dear brother and sister reading this please will you,

"Just Invest more time in understanding God’s love for you, and you won’t need to worry about anything else having well understood that kind of love!

Always remember this, that;"Love comes first.

And love is the answer;without which the problems we see in the world continually stand unresolved!" 

So, let's fight this issue the Love way; Love more !
