LOVE: THE SECRET TO MANIFESTATION

10/02/2022

"But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 5: 44-45) Annoying people are an inherent aspect of our life here on earth. They may be family members, colleague at work, church folk, neighbors, you name it. But they are not our enemies, they are just people. In the spirit realm, people are plants that produce a harvest depending on the seeds that they encase. That is why the Bible says of the believer, "having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever" (1 Peter 1:23). In other words, never see these people as haters or enemies, no matter how offensive they become, only see the opportunity to change the seed that people encase through practical demonstration of kindness and love. Today's theme scripture is very instructive on imitating the Father as his children. The Bible says, "...love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 5: 44-45). Notice that axiological order. Loving your enemies and doing good to those who hate you are equated to sunrise while blessing those who curse you and praying for those who despitefully use you is equated to rain. In essence, the rainstorms (manifestation) are tied to what you say and do in response to what they say and do to you. Now the Bible says that in order to be worthy representatives or sons, on earth, of your Father in heaven, you must rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. And this is why emphasis is placed on the fact that hateful people are never your enemy but an opportunity to release a rain of righteousness. "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12). In Titus 3:2, the Bible says "to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men." When you speak, let only what God says process out of your mouth. 1 Peter 4:11 says, "If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen." Your duty is not to think or process what so-and-so has said or done, yours is to rain on everyone with whom you come into contact with. So, let me state what the Holy Spirit said yesterday, "be on the offense with kindness and love". It's your month of manifestation and nothing is going to hinder what God has proposed to do in your life. In Jesus name! Amen! Faith Filled Confession: I refuse to speak evil of anyone in Jesus name. I am God's mouthpiece, announcing the divine design on everyone, place or circumstance for the manifestation of the miraculous. I refuse to see anyone as my enemy. In Jesus' name. Amen
