TOPIC: Love For God And Man (II) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 30 May 2021)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 1-3
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Mark 12:28-33
28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
MEMORY VERSE: “And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.” – Mark 12:31
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Love for your neighbour is the barometer with which to measure your love for God.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
HENCEFORTH, YOU WILL BE A BLESSING TO YOUR NEIGHBOUR, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
The MESSAGE:
It is written, ‘Not that we love God, but that he loved us, and sent his son as a propitiation for our sins’ (1 John 4:10). We continue our discussion on love for God and man. The greatest commandment and the greatest identity of a believer is love (John 13:35). Our discussion today will centre greatly on love for man or love for your neighbour.

The second answer according to Mark 12:31 is: “Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself.” Who is my neighbour? From the parable of the good Samaritan, my neighbour is the next person to me. Those people around me that I can show love to. They include parents, maids, colleagues, boss, etc.
How do I love my neighbour? The second part of the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:12-17 confirmed in Romans 13:8-10 shows us how a believer can love his neighbour. They include: show respect and honour to your parents, don’t murder anyone, abstain from adultery, avoid theft, don’t tell lies about other people and avoid covetousness. All these are also part of the characteristics of love as written in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Love is patient, kind, does not envy, not rude, not proud, does not brag, does not keep record of wrongs done against it, does not rejoice when others fail, does not get easily provoked, love never give up on people, believe all things, never loses hope, never quits.
How do you love your neighbour as yourself? You and I are very good at taking care of ourselves. We want the best for ourselves. To love your neighbour as yourself, you need to love yourself by receiving the love of God. You can only give what you have.
To love your neighbour as yourself as commanded, you need to be filled with the Spirit of God. Love is a fruit of the Spirit. If you are yet to be born again, you cannot fulfil this command because you don’t have the Spirit of God.

SECTION TWO – DESTROYING MARITAL ROAD BLOCKS
Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for all you have been doing in my marital life since this programme started. I believe that You are my God and You are working out my marital celebration already. Please, accept my thanksgiving, in the name of Jesus.
The Lord will perfect all that concerns me; He will not forsake me because His mercy endures forever. I will not be disappointed at the edge of my marital breakthrough. The marital good works that He has started in my life, Jesus will finish them, because He is the Alpha and Omega and He does not leave things half done. My Saviour completes and perfects everything He starts.
Lord Jesus, hear me speedily. Hasten Your word to perform Your wonderful promises for my marital life. God is not a man that He should lie nor the Son of Man that He should repent of any of His pronouncements. I believe that every promise of God for my life shall come to pass without any satanic delay.
I stand on the victory of Jesus over satan and over death and hell. For it is written that Jesus first of all descended into the lower parts of the earth and stripped the devil of all his powers and ascended on high, leading captivity captive. By this victory, let every stumbling block, every gathering of powers of darkness and every satanic bus stop delaying the manifestation of my marital congratulations be destroyed now by the power in the blood of Jesus.
In the presence of those who have written me off, the zeal of God shall bring forth my marital celebration. I refuse to give up on my marriage because God has not given up on me. My God is preparing a giant marital testimony for me and His covenant shall bring it to manifestation this season. What I confess is what I attract.
I make these confessions in the name of the Father, in the name of the Son and in the name of the Holy Spirit. Amen!!!
NOTE: Make the Personal confession before you start the prayer each day for the section.
