Following up on the awesome session earlier in the day on seeking God’s face Joyce Meyer preached another amazing message on walking in love to those around us. She shared how this was the second most influential thing that she had learnt (the previous session being about the first) These are a few of the main points:
- Love is a decision and we need to decide to put on love as our “spiritual clothing” every day. She gave practical suggestions on how to do this like watching over the fist thoughts we have when we wake up. Love isn’t something we need to be led to do, we should be able to love people as a matter of course throughout our day. Joyce uses the principle of being loving to people unless God leads her not to but also acknowledges that she can’t do everything that people want her to do so she needs to focus on God’s calling. Love is more about the attitude with which we prioritize.
- Spiritual gifts with no fruit can be more harmful than good see the example of Jesus cursing the fig tree. As Christians we need to display more than just leaves.
- Big point:You cannot be both happy and selfish
Great session.
