Beloved, greetings from our Lord Jesus Christ to you.
God is love, so whoever loves know God and he/she become son/daughter of God. Who does not love, does not belongs to God - 1John 4:7-8. Selfish, greediness, insinuations, blackmailing is the game of the day. People are chasing wealth. We do not have time to care, love and show compassion to others. There is no love; there is no Godly people not even pastors, politicians, Leaders, Family heads and parents. Who gets what when and how?
Our heavenly father, you are loved. Help us learn from you as we read your words so we will be loved as you wish for us in Jesus mighty name Amen.
Am coming to share with you five love languages of God so you as a father, mother, head of a family, pastors, political leaders can speak it to your children, family members or followers.
God is love. God expresses His Love in five languages. Love is the key in marriage, in leadership and in parenting; But how?
1. Words of affirmation
I have chosen you: I am with you: 1peter 2:9. God has chosen you to be his child. And He is with you all the time. Have you chosen your spouse as one and only? Have you chosen to serve your people as they have chosen you to serve them? Speak love language of God;child of God.
I will protect you: I will neither leave you nor forsake you. I will help you. Call on me and I’ll answer you… I will heal you, Be not afraid: Isaiah 41:10-13, I love you; You are the apple of my eyes ; Ze 2:8, Trust Me: In fire, in flood, I will be there; Is 43:1-3, I will complete what i have began, I will raise a standard…..
These are words of affirmations form God to us. God words never return void. Every start and end hangs on the words of God. God want us to learn these words and use them in every day activities; in our work place, at home and all our duties so we will have a good start and better end. These should be our language all the time.
2. I need you; I love u. Give me your time; Exodus 20:8-11
Come to me with all your cures! 1pet. 5:7, Come let us reason together: (Isaiah 1:18) do you reason with your followers as leader? do do you forgive your spouse and reason together? Do you spend time together with your spouse, followers or children? Beloved, speak the love language of God.
Come boldly, not through anyone! (Her 4:16) pastor how do you make yourself available to your followers? Do they pay money to see you? even God request us to come boldly in front of him at any time. Father, do your children fear to approach you? Are you the lion in the house? Speak the love language of God and enjoy the changes and blessings it brings.
We will make our abode with you; John 14:1-3, I am going to prepare a place for you. As a head of a family, have you prepare a home for your family? When you die, where will they leave?
Leaders are to speak words of love to people not insult and lies. In marriage, Love is spelt TIME. Spending time with your spouse brings unity and love. It breeds love and respect with no suspicion. Speak the language of God.
3. I love you. Give me your Love Exodus 20:1-3
John 3:16 ;1john 3:16, He gave us Christ. All good gifts come from God. He gave us the Holy Spirit to be with us.
He gives us life. In him we move and have our very being. Act 17:28. Phil.4:19 **Psalm 118
Can you imagine your spouse say to you; i love you, may God be with you for the day. Can you imagine, if you say to your children, God be with you before going to school. Leaders must love their people and show it.
We have to reciprocate, Exchange gifts of love with your spouse. Don’t come home without a gift for your spouse. Surprise your spouse!
Are you fighting with your opponent in politics? David said, Saw has been anointed by God, i can not kill whoever have been anointed by the most high God. Here David have all the chance to eliminate Saw, his opponent in politics. Show love political leaders; speak love language of God. Even some pastors are in political race. Show love my dear pastor.
4. I came to serve: Serve others; Phil 2:5-8
He came to serve and not be served.
He served His disciples by washing their feet.
He had compassion & fed the hungry crowd with food, and healed them.
He served the sick and healed them.
He went to homes of grieve and gave life.
So must a husband do to his spouse: Eph.5:25-30. Don’t be boss but a servant to your spouse. Make him/her happy. Your wife is not a slave. She needs to be respected. Serve her as she serves you. Ph.2:5-9 Win your respect by your service.
Leaders: Do service to your people. Don't be boss in office but problem solver on field. Politician, are you abusing your power to your interest? Jesus have them all but served others. Be known by your works; Good name is better than gold and precious.
5. I want to touch you Rev.1:17
Touch peoples life leader. use your powers to change the poor. Be the hero of change. Speak the love language of God.
Omnipotent God of creation, help us speak the love language from you so we will be bless by you. In Jesus mighty name. Amen
