NURTURE THE SPIRIT OF LOVE




By Tayo Onaleye
Unforgiveness is a spirit.
Love is a spirit.
The one you nurture dominates.
What comes out of an orange when squeezed reveals the content of the orange.
What comes out of you during crisis is a revelation of the content of your spirit. The crisis only squeezed it out.
If bitterness flows out of you when offended it's only a revelation that there's bitterness in your spirit.
The offence merely squeezed it out.
On the cross, in the pain and anguish of death, what came out of Jesus was, "Father forgive them" Luke 23.34
Bitterness couldn't come out of Jesus because it wasn't in Him.
He was being stoned to death and yet what came out of Stephen was, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge" Acts 7.36
Like Jesus, what flowed out of the spirit of Stephen was forgiveness even in the face of death.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Take time to cultivate the spirit of love.
One day at a time.
One challenge or offence at a time.
One relationship at a time.
The love of God has been shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Spirit.
Nurture that love till it dominates you.
Give no room to bitterness, hatred, animosity, malice and unforgiveness. Don't nurture them.
Peace

Success through the Holy Spirit

SUCCESS THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT Tayo Onaleye I define success as  "Well done, thou good and faithful servant...." Matthew 25.21 *I define success as hearing "well done" from God.* Jesus succeeded. Concerning Him the Father said: Mat 3:17  ".......This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." How did Jesus do it? Jesus operated in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit Jesus couldn't have succeeded the way He did. The personal and ministry successes of Jesus were due to the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Acts 10.38 How *God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost* and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. If Jesus needed the Holy Spirit then we need Him too. That is why Jesus specifically instructed the disciples not to embark upon ministry without the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Luk 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of m
