THE OPERATION OF LOVE
[[Rom 12:14]] AKJV Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
In the above, we are instructed to bless those who persecute us. Love is not a feeling: love is a weapon. Love overpowers evils and renders the carrier of hatred redundant. You can not fight evil with evil. Evil can only be destroyed with love. This is why the Apostle Paul admonished us; “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” *(Rom 12:21).
The gospel of wickedness, vengeance, and hatred must cease in the church. We are raising believers who don’t trust each other even in the same local church. In the name of destroying witchcraft, we pray so-called dangerous prayers against people we suspect to be manipulating us through witchcraft. And by so doing, we poison our soul. When Jesus’ disciple wanted to pray down fire on their enemies like most of our pastors do, Jesus told them they didn’t know the kind of spirit they were made of *(Luk 9:54,55).
The only enemy of God and His people is the devil and his cohorts. People are not your enemies even though they may be influenced by devils against you. And just in case you are faced with one that has a devil, you don’t pray for them to die: you cast out the devil! Glory to God! Learn to demonstrate love, especially to those who hate you.
Love is greater than Satan. Love is God, and God is love. You can not walk in love and fail or lose. When we walk in love, we activate divinity. Glory! You are bigger than anyone who hurt you. You are better than hatred. And you are more glorified than vengeance. You are made of love. So love. Love everyone! Forgive anything. Hallelujah!
Prayer:
Lord, your goodness fills my heart. There’s no space in my heart for hate and bitterness. I choose love. I forgive and demonstrate your love even to those who hate me in Jesus’ name.
