Be Kind And Loving Like Christ
Thursday, December 14, 2023Key Verse
“Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love: in honour preferring one another;” Romans 12:10
Text — Romans 12:9,10
Message
Love is an expression of feeling to which every normal human being responds. Kindness is tied to love because you show it to whomsoever you love. The Bible commands us all to love one another, for love is of God and God is love. Jesus demonstrated His love for mankind by dying on the cross at Calvary to save us from eternal damnation in hell. Some children find it difficult to show kindness to others because they do not have the love of God in their hearts. God is reminding you today that you are created, redeemed and preserved out of God’s love.
You must love other people as God loves you. Do not think, say or do evil to others. God is watching. Share what you are receiving from God with others – love and kindness. Let others see Jesus in you through your kind deeds (actions). Love like Christ and many will come to Him through you. Keep telling the story of Christ’s love through your life. The good you do today and every time is never lost, the seed of kindness you sow will bear fruits in future and you will reap the rewards.

Truly speaking, when you love other people, irrespective of whom they are by sowing seeds into their lives, God will surely repay you in measures that will surprise you. I have witnessed it in my life and through this singular action, God has connected me to VIPs, that ordinarily, l would not have been able to access them easily not to talk of meeting them in their various houses. To God be the Glory. Amen
To God be the Glory.
