LOVE IN A RELATIONSHIP (Part 1)
1 Peter 4:8 – Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (NIV)
Read: John 3:16, 13:35; Matthew 9:36
Love covers all things, and indeed, love led to the provision of salvation. More so, during Christ’s dispensation, He was an epitome of compassion through which He healed many and fed the hungry, among other miracles. Therefore, as revealed in the Bible text for today, love should be the bedrock of every engagement. Jesus also said that it is through love that people will identify the genuine children of God.
Every child of God must exercise the love of the Father by giving to the needy and saving souls (1 John 3:16, 18-19). Whether in marriage or brotherly communication, God’s love should also be the rudiments of it (1 Corinthians 16:13-14). However, the question is if love is enough for a Godly relationship. The answer is ‘No’! Though love is the foundation of all things, we must be led by the Holy Spirit and put other components in place to make up a healthy relationship (1 Corinthians 13:1-13). For example, in marriage or Christian courtship, prayers– knowing the will of God concerning yourselves, sexual purity, maturity, trust, understanding, financial and career plans, matters. When all the above are in place, unity is formed, and the goals are achieved speedily!
Beloved, don’t sacrifice your future and ‘to-be’ marital altar for ingenuine love and immorality. Seek God first and honour Him with your body; He shall direct your path!’ (Hebrews 13:4).
PRAYER
Hymn: Into My Heart – Harry D. Clarke (1924)
1. Father, help me to love and be responsible in marriage and daily living.
(MIDNIGHT PRAYER)
1. Evil covenant I have entered knowingly and unconsciously. Be cancelled by the blood of Jesus!
2. Father, please give me an 11th-hour miracle that will be hard for people to believe.
3. Cloud of darkness covering my potential and marital glory. Be wiped off!
LOVE IS NOT BLIND WHEN YOU HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT!
