Timeless Truth
With Pastor Tope Oyeneye
The Action of Love
Scripture.
Galatians 5:22-23 KJV
[22] "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] meekness, temperance: against such there is no law"
Message:
Love is an action word, it is beyond thoughts or feelings. Love is doing and saying things to anothers advantage and progress, no matter what they have done to you in the past. True love is strong and scarce, no force on earth can overcome genuine love. All these, "you break my eye, i break your own back", "you didnt greet me, i too will not greet you", "you abuse me, i too abuse you in return" etc, are all limited versions of love, they are not agape. The God kind of love is not retaliative in nature.
If you think someone is not doing something right or well, then you can show them how to behave. Never wait for your opposition to behave well first before you become pleasant to them, you can show them how we behave in the kingdom. Love is doing and saying things to another persons advantage and progress irrespective of what they have done to you in the past. You as a love child of a loving God should take the initiative and show how kingdom citizens behave. There is no law or force on earth that can overcome love.
A particular elderly man (one of the landlords) had been very hostile to the church and some of our leaders around where the church is located. This person likes trouble naturally, he will always look for something to shout and complain about. This last December, we honoured him with a Christmas gift. The man came to look for me few days after. He prayed, made peace with us, said he's sorry, and that everything is settled now. He has told me "i love you and i appreciate you" about 10 times since December.
This man does not go to church, but he told me this february, "Pastor, im thinking i will be coming to your church now". He said, "he will introduce a family that just moved into the area for business to be coming to the church". If you are truly a child of God, you are light, show the world how to express love and how to eliminate darkness. You are a role model, a trail blazer, refuse to wait for others to show you love first, show the world how to walk in the God kind of love. You will fulfil your days in grand style, you will not be cut short before your time, you are Blessed.
