NO MORE HATE
The Heart That Loves
By Paschal Kimisha Sukambi
Preface
This is an informative book for the teachings of true agape love the nations owe the Christians today. The bible reveals the true image of God as love by saying, “whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love” (1 john 4:8)-NIV. Weather you are an African or Latin America, black or white, the only quality that qualifies you to be a true Christian is to know God; that is to know Love. Is not the matter of pretending or show off but rather understanding the full knowledge of love and to embrace it. To be able to understand that the true satisfaction in Christianity life found in knowing love.
What make a diversity between the Christians and non-Christian and other religions in the world is not the teachings, wisdom or the miracles and wonders performed but rather the love that the world may experience from the Christians and the church, letting the world knows that the infinite pleasure and search of the kingdom of God has its foundation in loving ourselves, the people of God and loving God, and if you wont search and walk in the line of love then you won’t find and walk in the line of God.
The major weapon the devil fear to a Christian life is the loving heart that does not love conditionally but rather love unconditional as God love. And Its not enough to say all about love but rather to act, in truth and knowing that its aroma of loving act of a Christian to the nations that will invade their life and change them more rather than just stick to common loving words. It’s the simple loving acts and not mere loving word that will transform people.
Love as part of Christian life was not meant from the beginning by God to be one personal effort, or an optional rather full obligation part of Christianity as the bible says, ”Jesus replied; “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’” (Matthew 22:37-39)-NIV. It was meant to be Christian full obligated as commanded by a commander, an order to be implemented for as long as we are Christian.
It’s dangerous trying to love people by our own effort because it may lead to great disappointment. Its Holy Spirit effort to enhance a loving heart of Christian as the book of Act says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Ghost comes on you” (Act 1:8)-NIV. It’s not by modern or old technique, strength or by the power of mind but rather the power of Holy Spirit in us.
Over my year of being born again Christian, nothing I have desired much than asking God to teach me how to love his people and love him, and I still do keep learning. Getting the understanding that the most crucial part of Christian life is to believe Jesus as son of living God and he died and resurrected to save our life and to love others as Jesus did.
In Christian life to ignore and neglect love as the core then Christianity is tasteless, burden to oneself and fellow Christian for there is no commandment that is a burden to a loving heart, and its devil behavior to love and act as he wish, as Christian God has already gave us the power and set example on how to love others, and so we love and act as God’s sons and daughters, as God want us to.
I have spoke several time with my fellow Christians that the simple way to reveals God to the nations is by loving them, for true image of God in us is revealed through love.
The only thing the devil can not pretend and do is love, for love is the nature of God and not devil. The devil can try to perform an act of miracle but not an act of love to the nation. The vacuum that devil can not fill in the heart of people is the vacuum of love, God’s love, and this is an easy way to overcome the devil toward the nation with true Christian God’s love.
The book is for all Christian with the desire to stand firm with the loving heart knowing that love has power to change the world. It’s for the Christian who are motivated and inspired to become the instruments of God’s love beyond human embargos. The book will add value of molding hearts of God servants in ministering and missionary toward the great calling of reconcile the nations to our living God.
CHAPTER ONE
GOD SUPREME LOVE
The ultimate measure of Christian love to the people is not the fellow Christian or pastor’s deed, but rather Jesus standard of love set by his words, acts and sets of example of love to people. We can not love as much as what a fellow Christian has done, the standards and measures of Christian love are hidden in heart of God, for God is love.
The standards of our love must irritate and imitate of our Lord Jesus Christ, the giving and sacrifice, the compassion and care, must stand the standard of our Lord Jesus, for he has chosen us to be the instrument of his love as the bible says, “He predestined us for adoption to son ship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will” (Ephesians 1:5)-NIV. It’s the will of God to walk as Jesus did, to do as Jesus did and much more as Christian through Jesus Christ we are predestinated to love people as God love. As son and daughters of most high God we were adopted to resemble the loving behavior of God.
