OMBS7/ Live the Love Life

PRAYER - "Whoso Is Simple, Let Him Turn In Hither" Wisdom built her house, hewed pillars, killed beasts, mingled wine, furnished her table, sent forth maidens, and invited everyone to her feast. "Forsake the foolish, and live." Wisdom makes an offer you must not refuse. Whatever else you are asking God for, move it down the list. Put wisdom at the top. Postpone the other blessings until you have sought the LORD for wisdom. Proverbs 9:4-5 - "Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled." PRINCIPALS - "The Strange Woman" At least ten times in Proverbs, Solomon warned his son against strange women. "A woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. ...With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him." Be warned, mister. That woman will destroy you. Proverbs 7:22-24 - "He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life." PRINCIPLES - "If You Hate Wisdom You Love Death" Wisdom cries in every place, calling the sons of men to understand wisdom and receive instruction. "By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honour are with me." God possessed wisdom in the beginning. Crave wisdom. Proverbs 8:35 -"For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death." PROPHECIES - "The Righteous Shall Never Be Removed" The contrasts between the righteous and the wicked are endless. The righteous make glad parents; the wicked cause heaviness. The righteous will not famish, but the wicked lose their substance. Blessings are on the just, but violence is on the wicked. The labour of the righteous tends toward life: the fruit of the wicked to sin. The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth. Above all, God promises eternal life to the righteous. Proverbs 10:30 - "The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth." Live the Love Life

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. – 1 John 2:l5-6

There is nothing—absolutely nothing—that is more important than learning to love. In fact, how accurately you perfect the love walk will determine how much of the perfect will of God you accomplish. That’s because every other spiritual force derives its action from love. For example, the Bible teaches us that faith works by love. And answered prayer is almost an impossibility when a believer steps outside of love and refuses to forgive or is in strife with his brother. Without love, your giving will not work. Tongues and prophecy will not work. Faith fails and knowledge is unfruitful. All the truths that you have learned from God’s Word work by love. They will profit you nothing unless you live the love of God. First Corinthians 13:4-8 paints a perfect picture of how love behaves. It’s patient and kind. It’s not jealous or proud. It doesn’t behave rudely or selfishly and it isn’t touchy. Love “beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.” Sounds like a tall order, doesn’t it? But don’t despair. You are a love creature. God has re-created your spirit in the image of love. And He has sent His love Spirit to live in you and teach you how to love as He loves. You can live the love life. Begin today.
