“But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and evil. Be you merciful, as your Father also is merciful” (Luke 6:35).
Walking in love is God’s surest way for you to experience His glory. For the record, walking in love goes beyond being nice to those who are nice to us. The true test of our love walk is in how we interact with those that have treated us unfairly or with those with whom we have brushed shoulders. And mere saying, “I get along with everyone” does not mean that one is walking in love. Dealing with people professionally also does not equate to demonstrating the liquid love of Christ. Jesus said, “And if you love those loving you, what credit is it to you? For even sinners love those loving them. And indeed, if you do good to those doing good to you, what credit is it to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive back, what credit is it to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, that they might receive the same amount. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and evil. Be you merciful, as your Father also is merciful.” In other words, we must go above and beyond to express the love of Christ. Jesus is saying that we must love others from Heaven and loving others from Heaven is to love them like God loves them. Someone reading this may say, “It’s impossible! How do you expect me to show love to people that I don’t know, or people who have done me wrong, or people who have nothing to offer in return? It will take God for anyone to practice this kind of love!” Yes, you are right! It will take God for this to happen. The good news is that God will never ask you to do anything that He has not equipped you to do. The very fact that you are expected to exemplify this quality of love and kindness is proof that you have whatever God has that makes it possible for Him to love this way.
So when you encounter people who are intentionally unkind to you, don’t respond with venom as they would expect you to. Rather, let your words be seasoned with grace. Respond with kindness and love because this is surest way to walking in His glory and victory. The enemy has always used offense, un-forgiveness, and bitterness as entry gates to abort destinies but that will not be your portion in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Be liberal with kindness and love. Allow the love of Christ flow through you freely. Your future will thank you for it. In Jesus name.
God bless you.
Faith-Filled Confession:
The love of God is shared abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost. Therefore, I walk in love. I refuse to walk in bitterness and un-forgiveness. If I have un-forgiveness towards any, I release them now in the name of Jesus. Amen
PRAYER POINT.

Amen
2.PRAYER FOR OUR FAMILIES
Isaiah 54:17 KJV
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
· Declare that all our families are continually protected and shielded from the plans of wicked and unreasonable men and none of their steps shall slide.
· Also Pray that no weapon form against them shall prosper, being it physical, spiritual or emotional, it is well with them, spirit, soul and body and everything that concerns them is perfected by the Holy Ghost.
