LOVE ALL AND HATE NO ONE

February 26, 2015 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

1John3:15 Anyone who hates another brother or sister is really a murderer at heart. And you know that murderers don't have eternal life within them. NLT

Hatred is a spiritual poison that contaminate our walk with God. Hatred sometimes results from unforgiveness and prolonged bitterness. The scripture doesn't permit us to hate anyone even the worst people that are unlovable because the love of Christ is shed abroad in our heart by the Holy Ghost.

There are no special class of people that should be loved. If God loves both the good and the bad, he also wants us to do the same thing to everyone. In fact, God wants us to pray for our enemies and show them his love. Hatred cannot conquer hatred but love conquers all.

Do you know that God loves terrorist? He hates their actions but he loves them as a person. If the love of God isn't in you, God is seeing you as a murderer and no murderer shall inherit God's kingdom. Don't be deceived with words, some would say 'I don't hate anyone but I dislike them a little'. What you call dislike may have grown into hatred without you knowing. Watch it.

Love all, hate not.

Action point

I receive grace to love all and hate no one In Jesus Name.
