Love is spiritual, not physical power

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Peace to you, dear readers of “Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”! I thank God for being able to keep meeting with you through this word, be encouraged through it and be fed with solid biblical teaching that is able to save our souls.We are still talking about how to live and walk in victory in these last days. God has given us His weapons –faith, hope and love. We have discussed faith, and today we will once again talk about love. Yesterday I pointed out that if we won’t learn to walk in love, our faith will not work. We also talked about love that makes our faith alive and active. If we won’t learn to walk in love, our hearts won’t be able to cope with the evil of the last days. We must practice walking in love; otherwise, our lives will be filled with wrong things and they will affect our overall condition.Let’s read several Scripture verses.
«A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones» (Proverbs, 17:22).
When we do not walk in love, but think of paying back to those who have betrayed, slandered or hurt us, then we will lack the joy and peace. Besides, revenge and unforgiveness allows demonic influence to enter our lives, and then a broken spirit starts drying out our bones and brings illnesses. A broken spirit brings bone illnesses, and it is very serious. When we walk in love, we will be strong and healthy even in the midst of hatred and lawlessness of the last days.
«A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken» (Proverbs, 15:13).
A broken spirit comes out of heartaches. What is heartache? It is deep sadness that you let into your heart because of people hurting, offending, abusing you and treating you unjustly. All these things happen to use because we have not learned to look at these things like Jesus; He entrusted His problems to God Who is the Righteous Judge. If we won’t learn to walk in love and to react in love, then our hearts will be filled with sorrow. But sorrow steals our health and dries our bones.
 «The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, but who can bear a broken spirit?»(Proverbs, 18:14).
All these Scripture verses apply directly to our love walk. Love is spiritual, not physical power. When we walk in love it brings health and strength to our spirits. A strong spirit helps an individual to overcome all sicknesses. But if we give our hearts to hatred, bitterness, revenge, unforgiveness, it undermines our hearts. And when our spirits are weak, we are not able to withstand difficult situation and we fail in life. That is why it says, „who can bear a broken spirit?” Nobody! If you do not walk in love, you get ill, irritated and your hearts is filled with bitterness. If you do not walk in love, you destroy yourself as a person. If you do not walk in love, you open the door for demonic influence and it gradually destroys your whole life. You must not allow these things into your life. In these last days there will be very hard times, but we can live through them and live in joy, be happy despite what people do against us. All of this is possible if we train ourselves to walk in love.God bless you! We will continue tomorrow.Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    It is quite often that we oppose changes; we resist any changes because we are creatures of habit. If something is new and unusual for us, we don’t like it. Is that the truth? Whatever is unusual to us scares us. We love the comforts of life and if something upsets our comfortable position, we start to fight it with all of our strength.Nevertheless God calls every person to go through changes.

    God lifts up and raises exactly those who agree to become responsible.

  • The Word of God – the source of divine information and truth

    The lack of vision, knowledge or useful information can become the source of destruction and tragedy. There is a saying that not knowing the law does not relief from the responsibility; not knowing God’s laws or moral blindness multiplies human sufferings on earth.Every person must gain knowledge and understanding of God’s provision; we must know what God has done for us in Christ so that we can lessen human suffering. The lack of such knowledge can cause great pain. It is like a person starving because he does not know about state aid. The lack of knowledge of one’s rights and privileges can cause unnecessary problems.

  • Temptations or trials are a kind of test or exam

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    If you arm yourself with the knowledge that problems and trials are a test to all of us, and once it´s passed we receive a certain reward from God, then a holy desire to win given by God will be awaken within you. None of you is born willing to be a loser in this life. We all desire to win, but no win where is no battle. For the problems and trials are those battles we either get defeated or celebrate the victory at. Going through hardships and pain in our life, we better understand the price, Jesus paid for our salvation. «…you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings…».
