A. PROPHETIC INSIGHT
A Year to be Filled with Love
The Lord is calling you to be filled to overflowing with
the power of His love. If you will seek Him daily over the
next twelve months for the release of His love in your life,
you will be transformed. The power of His love in you will
become so strong that everywhere you go, His favor and
blessings will come upon you and overtake you. These blessings
will then be released through you to others. The more you
receive of His love, the more you will give out and the more
you give out, the more you will receive. As you pursue His
love every day by making it your greatest aim, you will know
its power and this power will astound you! It will unlock
healing, provision, miracles, supernatural experiences,
wisdom, hidden mysteries, and multiplied grace. Every area of
your life will come under blessing as you pursue Love.
You will actually feel its tangible presence in your midst
As you daily soak and meditate on His love, you and those
around you will feel its tangible presence. It will be so
strong, some will break down and cry. Your enemies will want
to be your friends. The more you exude love, the more you will
find people asking you things like, "What is so different
about you? Why do I feel so good around you? What makes you
like this?" In many cases, you won't even say anything and
people will just feel it. You will find them looking at you in
wonderment and they will be wondering, "What is this tangible
power?"
This love will clothe you, deliver you, and bless you
This love will clothe you in humility. It will deliver you
from self-consciousness, fear and pride. This love will make
you so soft in your dealings with others and yet it will cause
you to be stronger in character than you have ever been
before. This love will bring you into great peace and will
fill you with compassion beyond anything you could imagine.
This love will unlock a generosity in you that, when it is
released, will cause blessing to come back upon you in
unimaginable measure. You will even think at times, "I can't
take any more blessings. I am overcome! How could I possibly
receive any more?"
This love will heal and strengthen marriages and families
The power of this love will heal and strengthen your
marriages and families and make your home a haven of bliss.
Your households will be like heaven on earth. The invasion of
His love into your homes will result in the prodigals coming
home and unsaved family members seeing the light. They will
run towards God's love in you. They will feel accepted,
forgiven, affirmed and celebrated by you. They will want to be
close. If you commit to being filled with the love of God,
past hurts will be healed and some broken relationships that
looked like they were irreparable shall be completely
restored. The testimonies will then build faith in those who
hear and they will say, "If God can do that, then there is
hope for me, too."
This love will invade the church
This love will invade Church congregations like a
whirlwind if you will pursue it. Relationships will be healed
and the strife, division, and contention that once destroyed
will now be demolished. The world will see the love of Jesus
through the church and will be drawn to the safety they find
within the house. A new move of the Holy Spirit will be
unleashed if you will daily pursue His love over the next
twelve months. It will be a move of great power, for those who
are perfected in love can be trusted with power.
Love is a high voltage current
The Body of Christ will experience the power of His love
breaking through like water being released through a dam if
His love is the greatest aim. The current of it will be that
of the highest voltage. Nothing will be able to stand in the
way of its power. Compassion will escalate to such proportions
that floods of finance and provision will be released to the
poor of the world like never before.
Many will "go"
Individuals who are filled with this love will be
literally willing to lay down everything in order to go to the
remotest parts of the world to share this love with the poor,
the suffering, and the broken. This love will so transform you
that you will not desire anything for yourself, but you will
live to serve and give to the needs of others. The power of
selfishness will be broken. The power of fear will be broken.
The first and second commandments will be fulfilled in your
life. You will love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your mind, with all your strength and you will love
your neighbor as yourself.
Love will be tested
Your love will be tested, but you will pass every test.
When offence comes to tempt you, you will overcome. When
bitterness attempts to fill your emotions, you will rise up
above it. When judgment and criticism knocks at the door of
your heart you will refuse to open it. You will choose
patience in order to deal with individuals who might test you.
You will choose kindness to deal with your enemies and those
who oppose you. You will not listen to gossip and you will
always believe the best of others. You will be perfected in
love as you overcome all the obstacles because this is your
greatest aim.
The Love Mentor
The Holy Spirit is your Mentor . He will teach you how to
love. He will be at your side every day to show you how to
love. He will inspire you with creative ways to minister God's
love. He will visit you with tangible visitations. Angels will
be sent to minister love to you so that you will minister His
love more effectively. All of heaven will cheer you on when
you choose to make love your greatest aim.
Nothing can contain this love
This love is pure. This love will put relationships in
right order. This love will not cross lines that would feed
lustful passions. This love is holy. This love will heal the
homosexual community. This love will visit prisons, brothels,
drug houses, inner city streets, as well as government
institutions, schools, hospitals and the market place. Nothing
can contain the flood of God's love that is coming if the
church believes for it.
You will see the miraculous
Wherever the presence of love is found, you will see the
miraculous. The sick will be healed, the demonized will be set
free, the poor will be cared for and miracles, signs and
wonders will be present. As you pursue this unconditional,
all-powerful force of love, you will experience open heavens.
You will experience a revelation of the cross. You will know
the fullness of the power of Christ, for He is love. If you
make love your greatest aim, the gifts of the Spirit will
increase in your life, and especially the prophetic will
mature in you.
Entire communities will be touched
If love becomes the greatest aim of the church, entire
communities will be touched by it. It will be like an
epidemic. You will read about this "love movement" in the
newspapers, in magazines, and you will hear testimonies on the
media. Once the fire of His love is lit, it will be
unstoppable. It will spread like a wild fire that blazes
through a forest.
Make it your aim
Make it your goal to know His love and to be the most
loving person on the face of the earth. Make it your aim to be
known above all things for your love. Make it your focus to
manifest the presence of love everywhere you go. His love is
the greatest power. He is love and you have been made in His
image. This is what you were created for. You are a container
for His love.
You will be just like your Father in heaven
If you pursue His love everyday over the next twelve
months and if you make love your greatest aim, passing the
tests of opposition that come your way, you will see holy
transformation in every area of your life. You will establish
a beachhead for ongoing victories. You will establish a
foundation of blessing and grace that cannot be shaken. You
will set your life on a godly course that will produce eternal
fruit. You will experience answers to prayer within the twelve
months that you might have thought were impossible. Even
unspoken desires will be given to you if you pursue love. The
more you love others, the more you will be loved by others.
The more you bless the more you will be blessed. Your life
will be like heaven on earth. You will be just like your
Father in heaven, if you pursue love and make it your greatest
aim.
B. DEVOTIONAL TEACHING
In 1 Corinthians 14:1 (Living Bible), the scripture says,
Let love be your greatest aim . In the New American Standard,
it says, Pursue love . This indicates that we are to
aggressively go after love as a target in life. Love is the
greatest power in the entire universe and this force of love
is what every soul longs for. Imagine what it would be like if
every Christian was filled with the power of God's love and
walked in the freshness of that everyday. What type of
atmosphere would permeate church services if every Christian
was committed to love? Could this love transform our homes and
families? What would the world think if God's people walked in
love all the time?
Spend some time this week meditating on God's love and read
through some of the following scriptures, then go love!!!
1 Corinthians 13
1 Corinthians 14:1
Galatians 5:13-23
The book of 1 John
John 3:16
And Remember
God loves you with an everlasting love!
