Love is one of the greatest evidences of spiritual growth, but biblical love is not driven by emotions alone. God desires that our love increases together with understanding and discernment. When love is guided by truth, it becomes a powerful force that blesses, strengthens, and protects others.

Many people mistake love for simply agreeing with everyone or overlooking everything. However, true Christian love is rooted in God’s Word. It knows how to encourage, correct, help, and build people up according to God’s wisdom.

As you mature spiritually, your love should become more effective and purposeful. It should help people draw closer to God and become stronger in their faith. Love without wisdom can be misguided, but love joined with discernment produces lasting fruit.

Choose to grow in this kind of love every day. Let your words, actions, and decisions be influenced by both compassion and divine understanding.

Prayer:

Precious Father, thank You for teaching me to love as You love. Let my love abound with knowledge and discernment. I choose to express Your wisdom and kindness in all my relationships, that my life may glorify You always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Truth without love becomes harsh religion. Christianity without love is reduced to just another man-made religion—designed to satisfy the flesh while ignoring God’s heart. Lord Jesus confronted people who claimed to love God but were filled with bitterness, envy, and hatred. Such hearts cannot serve God, no matter how many scriptures they quote.

Walking in love is not weakness—it is obedience. Love is the highest expression of truth. A believer who walks in love has fulfilled God’s law, even without making noise.

This year, let love govern your responses. Love reveals Christ more than arguments ever will. Love is the essence of this Gospel of truth, remember that as you boldly proclaim the Gospel to your world.

Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank You for Your love poured into my heart by the Holy Spirit. I choose to walk in love, truth, and humility. My life reflects Christ in word and in deed, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

As a Christian you must have great esteem and regard for God’s anointed men and women. The Bible says in 1 thessalonians 5:13 to “esteem them very highly in love”. When God puts you under the leadership of a man or woman of God, God gives them the responsibility to raise you, thus it’s important that you value them and their counsel.

Often times, you will find Christians criticising or judging ministers of God, that’s a wrong approach. You should never find yourself participating in such conversation. God’s anointed are God’s servants, thus it’s only God who has the authority over them. Romans 14:4 says; “Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand”(NIV). If you ever think that a certain man or woman of God is not walking right according to God’s Word, pray to God and don’t be a judge yourself. Let God deal with the matter after all He is their master.

Also, you must be careful about your access to a man or woman of God. If you have close access to God’s anointed, don’t ever take it lightly. If you are close to a Pastor, double up your walk of honour. You will see their weakness but never take it for granted. You will see faults but do not let it lead you into offence. Honour them because they are called by God, and that call is what sets them apart.

Some people never stopped seeing Jesus as the carpenter’s son, and that’s the reason they could never receive anything from Him. Rebecca accepted the priesthood of Isaac and her barrenness ended. Michal despised the priesthood of David and died a barren woman. Your approach towards the anointed one can make all the difference in your life.

Learn to follow the scriptures in your approach towards everything and don’t partake in the ways of the world.

Prayer:
Dear Father, thank you for your Word that is training me in right perspective towards every aspect of your kingdom. I receive corrections and edify my ways. I honour God’s anointed ones and refuse to judge them. I esteem them very highly for their work sake. In Jesus’s Name. Amen!

The condition of your heart when you pray is very important. If you carry grudge, unforgiveness or hate in your heart for anyone; your faith will be made of non effect.

Jesus said, “And when ye stand praying, forgive…” (Mark 11:25); why? It’s because when you stand to pray, it’s often a prayer of faith that proceeds from your mouth; you start making decrees! However, the Master was quick to caution that you don’t harbour unforgiveness against anyone; you must walk in love, so your prayer will be effective. He wants your prayer life to be effective.

God wants us to continue in prayer effectively. We are the restraining force to all the schemes of the evil one. We must pray effectively until the rapture of the Church, it’s part of our priestly ministry as believers. Therefore, make sure you give no place to unforgiveness in your heart as you pray. Keep yourself free of all grudges at all times. Remember, that in Christ you have been made higher and above these earthly emotions.

Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me your love in my heart. I live a higher life in Christ, and consciously give no place to grudge in my heart. I forgive people and walk in love as I pray for this world. I’m an agent of salvation in this world. In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
