Daily Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche.
TOPIC: LOVE FUELS FAITH
SCRIPTURE: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Love fuels faith. To live in love is to live in faith.
The Scripture makes it clear that faith worketh by love (Galatians).
The walk of faith is enhanced by love. That is why a major consequence of lovelessness is impotent faith. The potency of one’s faith is guaranteed by love.
This means, love fuels faith. To live in love is to live in faith, and to be loveless is to be faithless and fearful.
1John 4:8 says:
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Anywhere you can find love, you can find God.
The question is: Can God be plagued with fear? Is there anything that makes God afraid?
Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
This is the reason why whenever I stand and preach brutally against witches, wizards, occultic powers, oppressive people, negative situations, and atrocious personalities in our nation and in our world, I do them with zero fear.
I am not afraid because there is a passion, a fire and a compassion for the deliverance of people in me. God planted in me the passion to set people free. I have an undying passion for people for people to be saved and helped. This passion overwhelms every negative emotion of fear.
1 John 4:18 says:
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
So, when you walk in love, that is, real love for God and mankind, you walk in a fearless realm. You walk in a realm that is free of fear, doubt and unbelief, and that is faith.
REMEMBER THIS: Love fuels faith. To live in love is to live in faith.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Allow God to plant genuine love in you so you can live in the realm of faith.
- As you walk in love, refuse to fear; live in faith.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the nature of love that casts out fear and establishes faith. Help me to live in genuine love and vibrant faith, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
FOR FUTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: THE PLAGUE OF LOVELESSNESS (PART ONE).
QUOTE: If therefore, forgiveness, love, and compassion is such an important issue to God, it means that His very nature is the nature of forgiveness and the nature of satan, the devil, is opposite to the nature of God, which is the nature of unforgiveness and bitterness.
