WORDs of Saving Grace - seeking love to prophesy
1 Corinthians 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
To seek after love... Is this the desire of our hearts? When Christ Jesus is in our heart we cannot contain His love, He just comes out! We may not always display His love, but we can certainly choose to seek after Him (Psalm 27:8).
Do you desire a gift FROM GOD?
He loves to give gifts, our sin earns wages, but our Lord gives gifts and will always delight in this. Not giving us what we deserve (mercy), but giving gifts we DO NOT deserve (grace), (James 1:17).
As an beautiful example of His nature to give the gift of prophecy to an undeserving sinner. Let's look at the thief on the cross.
Not only does He declare the innocense of Christ to his friend, but He declares the prophecy of Christ's kingdom!!! Wow!
Luke 23:40-42
40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
