1 Cor: 13 vs. 1 – 7.
” If I give my body to be burned 🔥 and yet have no Love”.
We celebrate those whom we consider to have done an act of love ❤️.
We call them Philanthropist – Often, we pray and Desire to be like them.
But, the Bible presents to us with a Thought Provoking Concept ” That People can do philanthropic Acts and Yet Have No Love “.
Therefore, not every act of Love , true is a Love Act. How can we know true Acts of Love ❤️?
Notice that the Bible said ” If I Give My Body to be burned 🔥 ” – The key element here is # Motive and Glory#.
Meaning the True Acts of Love ❤️ is foremost ” Judged by Motive ” . But , you and I don’t see the Heart Motive.
Who does? You asked.
God is the one who knows and sees the intent and Motives of the Heart ❤️ .
So He knows if your love actions truly is of love or not.
But we also can know, yes by the Holy Spirit # For the Spirit Searches the Deep things of God and Reveals it to us#.
So, by the Revelation of the Holy Spirit we can know the Intent and Motives of the Heart ❤️.
Secondly ” The Glory of the Love Actions reveals if it is a True Love Action”.
In order words – who gets the Glory?. Whose praise is sang?. – Who is the center of focus ? What is said about what Done and why?.
You see loving Sacrificially ❤️ is of God and if and when you love that way, keep a check on your heart.
Be conscious of your motivation and your Words. Don’t sing your praise.
Give God the Glory for the opportunity and stay humble about it.
Don’t speak of it except to the extent it is to glorify Christ.
Resolve to be an amazing Helper 👏 to someone else this year.
Shalom
Apostle Morgan Ikonne
