His Church And Love: It has been noted from the scripture that God’s people are made different from the general world because he, God, love them. The love of God for his people was and is unquantifiable, rich love, real love, and destiny remoulding love. Deuteronomy 32:9-14 God’s love is for his church first, he gave the best to the church, and made them special in every way. You must have noticed that real Christian are really different in every way. It was the love that God had for humanity that birth the church. God’s love was expressed by planting his churches as his presence amidst humanity. When the children of Israelite were held bound in Egypt, he let them go by signs and wonders because he loved them his church. Acts 7:37-38 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. *This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: Though they were referred to as church and God in his omnipotence did something: Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. *And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. Exodus 12:41-42

So we can deduct that love is church or God’s expression of love is church. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: *Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:19-20
People And Love: Generally speaking, human are product of love, but if you are raised in awful place or in the midst of (or by) hatred, you will find it difficult to love. We can’t have safe and secure society without love, we can’t sustain good marriage without love, we can’t train up children to greatness without love, and we can’t get deeper into another person’s heart without love. Love binds some certain number of persons together. Hardly would you find a legend, or warlord that his name is written in gold without this touch able and feel able virtue called love as part of what made him. People that intentionally hurt you by words and actions are void of love. A man void of love is a dangerous man. One of the major problem of this age is self centeredness, whereas earning and eating all alone kills. Exodus 2:11-12 says And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. *And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. The love he had for his people made him do that, every Christian had access to virtues of love without bloodshed. If you love your people and your nation: you will give your best for them.
GIFTING AND LOVE: This could also be interpreted as endeavours and love. Almost everyone on earth today are endowed to do one thing or the other to make them totally different and unique but if you eye another person’s gift and are ungrateful to God for your own. It only proves that you don’t love. And you prefer the other persons own. One of those things that make you a leader to the people is the gift of God at work in your life. If you refuse to use it, trade it, dig round it, explore it; it is a prove that you don’t love it. You need to love your gifts, it doesn’t matter what others are doing, those discouraging you can’t stand your weight of glory ahead; that’s the reason they are discouraging you. Look at this scripture Luke 13:6-9 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. *Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? *And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: *And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. If you refuse to be productive with your gifting then the Lord will order your destruction. God endowed us with diverse gifting, talent & abilities, to profit him (God), our nation and to profit us. So if you are not using it, you are calling on heaven’s hotline that you are coming home. In your love for your gift is the liberation of many others. It’s high time for each one of us to give self to the course for which is created.
