Topic: Spiritual gifts without love is nothing
Key verse: and if I have a  faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 1Cor 13:2b
             Love is preeminent than all the spiritual gifts exercised in the church. Love makes our actions and gifts beneficial to the church. Love is the Centre of Christian worship and its like a bond that binds the church together. The necessity of love cannot be underestimated or overrule by spiritual gifts and it is available to all. 
              Spiritual gifts are given to the church to build the church up and for the perfection of saints. The Corinthian church is  blessed with diverse of spiritual gifts but there were sexual immorality, strife, division, idolatry among them. Paul observed that Love, the fruit of the spirit that ought to guide their hearts in exercising of spiritual gifts were lacking in the church and he took his time to explain the entirety of the love of Christ.
                Love distinct Christianity from every other religion in the world. Without love of Christ, our service and devotion to God is nothing. Spiritual gifts are meant to be exercised in love or else it may lead to confusion, chaos, hatred, anger, envy, pride, and division in the Church. Love is available to all and one can only show this love if one is filled with the Holy Spirit and allow the Holy Spirit to help one set aside his own selfish and natural desires. The more we fellowship with Christ in obedience to his words which are spirit is the more love we will show to other believers and non believers 
Prayer: Father Let your love flow from me to others as I exercise my spiritual gifts in Jesus name.

Who is your Friend?

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD WEDNESDAY 9TH APRIL, 2025 TEXT: 2 Samuel 13:1-5 [1]And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. [2]And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her. [3]But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man. [4]And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king’s son, lean from day to day? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister. [5]And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.

The LORD is in his sanctuary (3)

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SUNDAY 4TH MAY, 2025 TEXT: Habakkuk 2:20 [20]But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. TOPIC: THE LORD IS IN HIS SANCTUARY (3)            The presence of God makes a difference between a church and any other place. In God’s presence there is peace, deliverance, and fullness of Joy. In the old Testament, men of faith often raise up an altar to symbolize his presence and praise him there. The church is the modern day temple where there are altars set up to meet God. No one can come to God’s presence and return empty handed.          Many a times when people come to church without experiencing a touch, it is because they do not come with expectations of receiving from God. When there is expectations, it shows you have faith that God is in his temple and you are sensitive to his movements by being silence before God. God speaks right from the beginning of the Church s...

Your vision will speak

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SATURDAY 4TH JANUARY, 2025 TEXT: Habakkuk 2:3 [3]For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. TOPIC: YOUR VISION WILL SPEAK          Vision is time bound. Writing down of vision, planning, setting out to fulfill the goals are all processes that are necessary before vision can become a reality.        Your vision will definitely speak, if only you can wait for it. Great things do not usually happen suddenly. There is a moment to plant, watered and patiently wait for it to germinate. The bigger the vision, the bigger the time it would take to become a reality. Do not give up on your vision , it will speak at the appropriate time. Prayer: Father help me to patiently wait for me vision to become a reality in Jesus name.
