Love: The Only Virtue

To be honest, I have been transformed writing this book. From the first day the idea was dropped in my spirit, I have moved from someone who loved selfishly to understanding the truest form of love – loving selflessly like God. Until we come to this level of loving without expecting anything in return from the people or things we show love, we still have lots of room for improvement.

I have also been transformed in another area that is rarely talked about – being suspicious of the people and things that are different or that we do not understand. Anytime we meet or see anyone that is different from us or share a different belief or opinion, we tend to become apprehensive and defensive, and in some situations, we become antagonistic. In the process of writing this book, my spirit man was transformed to accept and love people that I do not know nothing about or that are different and/or have a different belief system.

The revelation about this mystery of true love was directly downloaded into my spirit like Apostle Paul alluded to in Ephesians 3:2-3, and I believe everyone that have read this book would have the same experience, and even deciphered more knowledge on this mystery to share with the body of Christ.

Ephesians 3:2-3 (AMPC) “Assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace (His unmerited favor) that was entrusted to me [to dispense to you] for your benefit, [And] that the mystery (secret) was made known to me and I was allowed to comprehend it by direct revelation, as I already briefly wrote you”.

This direct encounter with the Holy Spirit – our teacher, is not taught but experienced individually, and I hope you have had the same experience while reading through this book.

Finally, let this revelation about love help us to become matured and unite the body of Christ in love without allowing the influence of the world around us to create distraction or division among us as believers. Apostle Paul puts it impeccably in Ephesians 4:15-17 (AMPC) “Rather, let our lives lovingly [a]express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself up in love.

So, this I say and solemnly testify in [the name of] the Lord [as in His presence], that you must no longer live as the heathen (the Gentiles) do in their perverseness [in the folly, vanity, and emptiness of their souls and the futility] of their minds”

In other words, let us just live like our father – God, expects us to live daily. Living and walking in love just like Jesus Christ showed us when He walked this earth.

Ephesians 5:1-2 (AMPC) “Therefore be imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]. And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a [a]slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance”.
