And Jesus concluded, "That is how my Father in heaven will treat every one of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart."” Matthew 18:33-35(GNB) Walking in love is one of the keys to ending demonic oppression.

Saturday, February 25th. Keep doing good. “Don't get tired of helping others. You will be rewarded when the time is right, if you don't give up.” Galatians 6:9(CEV) I heard about the story of a man who wanted to get a property. He went about looking for how he could obtain loans so he could purchase the property but he was turned down because he did not have the required collateral to obtain the loan. While he was praying still believing for the property, God spoke to him and instructed him to forgive everyone that owed him. That was not a logical...

I know that because many people are more drawn towards what they can see with their physical eyes, and because they cannot see God physically, a lot of people do not know how to receive and enjoy His love. The truth is God's love for you is more consistent and more real than the love of your husband or your wife for you. God's love for you is...

Tuesday, February 21st. Give yourself. “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;” Ephesians 5:25 Love is self giving.

Thursday, February 9th. How to love like God 3. “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” 1 John 3:16 Love is self sacrifice.

The Bible says in Hebrews 13:4, “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Sex is only honourable in marriage that is why God is against illicit and casual sex. Yesterday, we learnt that sex is a covenant. Therefore,...

If you ask some persons what love is, they will say love is a feeling. Love is more than a feeling,...

Every other kind of love is substandard to the God kind of love. For instance, there is the love that exists between mother and child called storge. There is...
