Where There Is No Love God Is Absent Always.

When Love Walks Out Of The Door Hate Comes Through the Window.

Due to letting in Hate and striving through the windows of your soul (through your sinful eyes, ears, mouth, heart, feet etc.). Then out goes Jesus carrying his love and according to 1 John 4:20, How can you say that you love Jesus who you have never seen and hate a brother or sister in Christ who you see every day?

God is love and no amount of giving, praising, or worshipping will take away that. No wonder many will say to Jesus we did this and that, but he will say to them go away you sinful people

Matthew 7:20-24, Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, by their fruit, you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evil doers!’”.

You can pray all you want, but without love it’s a waste of time. According to Matthew 6:5, most of us pray pharisee type of prayers and no wonder we don’t get to know and meet our Father in heaven because we are so mechanical in nature and even in our talk. We try to hide our hate and hence we pray this way.

You can bribe men (pastors, prophets, even Apostles) with your money but what about God who owns it all (Haggai 2:8). He says in Psalms 50:12-13 if he was hungry, he won’t tell you since he owns it all and he doesn’t want our giving stained with sin he hates it. Never forget Romans 5:8 which says God showed his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Now Jesus is saying open the door Revelation 3:20 and I will come in and your life will be full of love.

1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for it is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

A few things you can do to show that you care and love your enemies.

Today forgive yourself of all the hurtful and hateful ways you have treated yourself and ask Jesus to forgive you, after all how can you say that you love others while you hate yourself, remember you can only give what you got, either from God or the devil (John 3:27). If you have too much love that is what you will give.

So go out there and look for a few people you know that you don’t talk to because you hate them and try and mend up your relationship with them, do everything to be at peace with all men (Romans 12:18).

Also, try to do something good for them anything even if its just to call them or even to give them a surprise visit. Instead of seeking revenge, do your offenders good. Proverbs 25:21-22, and Romans 12:19-21 tells us,

“If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; for you will heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord will reward you.”

Don’t forget to pray for them for God to bless them because what you give, God will give you back. Let us practice our Christianity in every area of our lives, don’t be like the Pharisees who always pretended to be what they were not (Matthew 5:20).

May God richly bless you and enlighten you to be a guide and a light to the lost.
