POWER PRINCIPLES.
Chapter 9: POWER PRINCIPLE THREE: THE POWER OF LOVE.
Power of love is greater than tongues given by the Holy Spirit, knowledge and understanding, Gift of prophecy, faith, giving, martyrdom and hope. When everything else fails, the power of love will succeed. Love is an emotion of deep affection, care and concern developed in your life through the Holy Spirit. The characteristics of love are that it is long suffering, kind, does not envy others, is not prideful, does not behave unseemly, does not seek for itself, not easily provoked, does not think evil of others, does not rejoice in iniquity, rejoices in truth, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things and love never fails. The first and greatest commandment is that you are to love God. Love for God is tested by your obedience to Him. The second greatest commandment is love of others. Jesus wants you to love others as much as He loves you. It is by love that you are recognised as a believer. If you do not love other believers, God’s love is not in you. You are to love your enemies, being rooted and grounded in love. Love eliminates fear. You’re to walk in love, relate to others in love, keep yourself in love. Your work for the Lord is to be a labor of love. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. The greatest love is the love God had for the sinful world. He showed it by sending Jesus to die.
