WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: LOVE NOT HATE

I have been feeling God press me to return to the basics. To encourage others to check the firmness of their foundation. This week I will be covering a few things to encourage you to check your foundation.

A shaking is coming, we have to be on a solid foundation. As we return to the basics of our foundation I want to discuss walking in love. As followers of Christ, we are to walk in love and not hate. God is love, the more of his spirit we have within us the easier it is to love and have compassion for others.

Hate leads to a bitter end. To hate means we lack the proper amount of God’s will in our lives. Yes people hurt us, yes they may talk about us, but we cannot allow the actions of others to cause us to not walk in the Love of God. As I discussed yesterday, we have to forgive and not allow hate to take root in our lives.

When we give our lives over to God, we are saying we don’t have all the answers. We yield our lives to a higher authority that does have all the answers. God is love and he only wants what is best for us.

Prov 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.”

We are to hate evil, but not the people that do evil. They are caught in a trap of the enemy. They need to be set free by the power of God. But it takes them yielding to the power of God, when he sends us to witness to them.

Ps 97:10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

God preserves the souls of his saint that love him and hates evil. We cannot allow the enemy to infiltrate our lives with his evil. One verse says I will set no evil before my eyes. We should not spend time dwelling on the evil in this world or participating in it. We are called to be set apart from the world. We are in the world but are not of the world or we are not partakers of the evil around us.

Learning to walk in God’s ways and to walk in his love is a lifelong journey. The more we yield to God’s Spirit the more love he gives us to share. As we grow the fruit of the spirit, we gain compassion for the lost and the broken. We want to see everyone saved, even those who have treated us unfairly. If we are going to reach the final harvest, we must learn to walk in love and compassion.

Eph 5: 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

We need to reach the point where no sacrifice is too great to demonstrate God’s love to the world. We can be that beacon of hope if we allow the Spirit of God to lead us and guide us.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
