Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in. — Galatians 6:9 (AMP)

The proper time for things is God’s time, not ours. We are usually in a hurry, but God never is. We are often impatient and ready for everything to happen right now, but God, in His wisdom, prepares us first for what He wants to do in our lives, and preparation takes time.

Love: The Essence of Christianity by Pastor David Ibiyeomie

Love: The Essence of Christianity by Pastor David Ibiyeomie

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Love is the foundation of Christendom and the identity of a Christian. If you do not walk in love, there is a limit to your achievements because vision cannot work without faith and faith can also not work without love. Galatians 5:6 says: “…but faith which worketh by love”.

1 John 4:8 – He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

God is not faith but responds to our faith. God is Love. If God then is love, it means that if you walk in love, you walk in God and it is impossible to walk in God and not get the God kind of results. Your success and growth in life is tied to your love for God. Love must not only be preached but practiced.
