Your identity as a child of God is the reality of your testimony that you have overcome the world. Your identity as a child of God is his threat.
Beloved walk in the confidence of who you are in Christ Jesus.

WALK IN THE PERFECTION OF LOVE
“Instead, by speaking the truth in a spirit of love, we must grow up in every way to Christ, who is the head.
Ephesians 4:15 (GNT)
In as much as your growth in the Lord or maturity in the spirit is your responsibility, you don’t do it alone.
You don’t create the things you need for your growth. The Lord supplies you with what you need, and you put them to work.
The greatest evidence of your growth in Christ is how you walk in the LOVE OF GOD.
The difference between the mature and immature is not just in the tongues they speak, the scriptures they quote and the gifts of the spirit they demonstrate. The difference between the mature and immature is in the level of love they demonstrate.
Meanwhile, the Love of God is shared abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5).
This means you did not generate the Love of God, it was worked into you by the Lord Himself.
LOVE IS THE GREATEST FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT! (1 Corinthians 13:13)
We see the FRUIT of the spirit in Galatians 5:22-23 :
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” (ESV)
The above verses show nine graces of the Spirit. However, the verse says FRUIT, not FRUITS.
The same Greek word, “KARPOS,” is used for both the singular FRUIT (Galatians 5:22; James 3:18) and the plural FRUITS (Matthew 7:16, 20 and Philippians 1:11).
We see nine graces mentioned, so why are they referred to as FRUIT?
This is because these nine graces are collective singular. They can all be put into one great expression of the Spirit, which is LOVE.
“BUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE…”
The amplitude of love is demonstrated through the eight other graces.
No tree produces different kinds of fruits. Each tree produces a specific kind of fruit.
An apple tree only produces apple fruit. Though it may have more than one of its kind on the same tree. Love is that unique fruit of the Spirit, though it may have different expressions.
The Passion Translation reveals it clearly:
“But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions: joy that overflows, peace that subdues, patience that endures, kindness in action, a life full of virtue, faith that prevails, gentleness of heart, and strength of spirit.
Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless.”
When you begin to walk in the fullness of the Love of God, the self doesn’t have expression.
This means the eight other graces are tangible realities of LOVE AT WORK.
When the LOVE of God finds expression, there is no need for the demand of the law of Moses (Romans 13:8-10).
WALK IN THE PERFECTION OF LOVE, FOR IT IS THE PROOF OF YOUR MATURITY.
Selah.
DIG DEEPER
(Romans 13:8-10; Matthew 22:37-40; Ephesians 3:16-18; 1 Corinthians 13; Galatians 5:22-23; 2 Peter 3:18; 2 Peter 1:8; Hebrews 5:12-13; 1 Peter 2:2)
WE PRAY
That this divine love of God will find its full expression in and through us
BIBLE READING IN THE YEAR 2024
Hebrews 13
James 1 – 2
DECLARE THESE WORDS:
– I demonstrate love in all things.

Oh Hallelujah!!! Glory to God!!
Thamk you Lord Jesus Christ.

God bless you more Apostel.
The strength of the self is broken because I walk in the fullness of the love of God.
thank you Jesus
The fruits of the spirit arer not actually 9, there is one key fruit of the spirit which is Love, this love within ourselves has nine different expressions and they are unlimited in the extent one can go in them.
Thank you Jesus that the love of Christ is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. This powerful!
Every believer cannot build their own love, love is naturally created in their hearts by the Holy Spirit.
Thank you Heavenly father for this episode
Glory to God!
I walk in the fullness of God’s Love.
Glory to Jesus
Gloreeeyyyy. This divine expression is found in me.
Thank you Lord for the fruit of the spirit
I demonstrate love in all things.
Thank you Lord for the love which you have supplied to us through the holy spirit.
I choose to be the embodiment of love.
Thank you Jesus!
I walk in the fullness of the Love of God.

Don’t let the world define what love mean to you
You will miss it
True love is when you know the wrong thoughts people have about you but you still show them genuine kindness and love
Karma is foolishness and has no foundation. It is the ignorant who live by those so called laws
God has given us his true love which is share abroad in our hearts by Jesus
I walk in Love
The love of God is at work in me
Thank you Jesus 🙏
