Despite the negative forces of hate, bitterness, wickedness, etc that are prevalent in our world today, there is a realm of Supernatural immunity for the believer from all the nefarious activities of the devil.

1 John 2:10 “He that loveth his brother ABIDETH IN THE LIGHT, and there is NONE OCCASION OF STUMBLING IN HIM”. 1 John 4: 7-8 “Beloved, let us love one another: FOR LOVE IS OF GOD; and EVERY ONE THAT LOVETH IS BORN OF GOD, and knoweth God; He that loveth not KNOWETH NOT GOD; for GOD IS LOVE.”

Despite the negative forces of hate, bitterness, wickedness, etc that are prevalent in our world today, there is a realm of Supernatural immunity for the believer from all the nefarious activities of the devil. God wants every believer to operate at OPTIMUM LEVEL without falling. There is a realm where the devil does not operate in. The Word of God declares that, He WHO WALKS IN LOVE, walks in God because GOD IS LOVE. 1 John 4:8 “He that loveth not knoweth not God; FOR GOD IS LOVE.” God can never get into trouble and God can never be conquered by evil. Of all the forces working on earth, the FORCE OF LOVE is the most POTENT AND SUPREME.

Galatians 5:6 (Amp) “For if we are in CHRIST JESUS, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but ONLY FAITH ACTIVATED AND ENERGIZED AND EXPRESSED AND WORKING THROUGH LOVE.” 1 John 4:16 “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. GOD IS LOVE; and he that DWELLETH IN LOVE dwelleth IN GOD and GOD IN HIM”. Satan can never walk in love. He hates God and His people passionately and perpetually. We are the products of God’s love (John 3:16) and we are expected to walk in Spiritual, Agape love towards everyone. Romans 5:5 “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” We are carriers of God’s love in our hearts and we are expected to release that love from our hearts everyday to everyone that comes in contact with us. Proverbs 10:12 “Hatred stirreth up strifes: BUT LOVE COVERETH ALL SINS”. Among the three forces of faith, hope and love, the Word of God declares that LOVE IS THE GREATEST. 1 Corinthians 13:13. As we put on the mantle of love, we are more ready to forgive people than recount their sins and mis-deeds against us. Unforgiveness makes us moody, angry and to age very fast. God’s love always swallows up human sins, iniquities, waywardness, etc. if God (LOVE) should mark our iniquities, none of us will stand. God has marked all our iniquities to the Cross of JESUS CHRIST. 2 Corinthians 5:19 “To wit, that God was in Christ, RECONCILING THE WORLD UNTO HIMSELF, NOT IMPUTING THEIR TRESPASSES UNTO THEM; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation”. John 1:29 “The next day John seeth JESUS coming unto him, and saith, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, which TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD”. Isaiah 43:25 “I, even I, am He that BLOTTETH OUT THY TRANSGRESSIONS for Mine own sake, and will NOT REMEMBER THY SINS”. The man who walks in God’s love cannot be short changed. Anyone who fights God’s love, will always be defeated.

People will always do evil to us. We are to RETALIATE WITH GOD’S LOVE. The realm of LOVE is the realm of the Miraculous. JESUS said we are to forgive our brother, FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY TIMES IN A DAY – (in twenty four hours), that is an average of twenty sins per hour. Your capacity to forgive is very high because you are a child of LOVE – a child of God. Can you substitute Charity with your name in 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8? Apostle John, the beloved Apostle of love, lived long and overcame all the plots of evil against him because he walked in the revelation of God’s love. Today, DELETE all the offences of people against you. Clinical Medical Sciences are saying that, unforgiveness is the magnet for sicknesses, diseases, viruses, etc. Unforgiveness attracts evil consequences and misfortune. FREE all those who have offended you, by forgiving them. FREE yourself from demonic attacks by walking in love. Ask the Blood of JESUS to FORMAT your heart from demonic retaliation. Pray and wish people well. Do not render evil for evil. He, who walks in love, walks with God and can never be defeated.

PRAYER: Father God, I recognise You as the Father of LOVE. I am a product of Your LOVE. Your Love redeemed me from the curse of the law. I refuse to walk in hate, bitterness and unforgiveness. I make a quality decision to forgive people and walk in love. I forgive all those who have offended me. I purge my heart with the Blood of JESUS from unforgiveness.
