“Spirit of Love” By Pastor P.T.Mammen
Scripture Reference:
Galatians 5:13-26
The Fruit of the Spirit
LOVE is the absence of selfishness. I want to be less selfish and self-seeking than I was last month.
JOY is the spiritual quality that releases us from circumstances. I want to be a joyful person.
PEACE is the internal serenity that only God can give. I want peace to become more and more a way of life for me.
PATIENCE is the absence of personal irritation at the actions of others. I want to be more patient than I was three months ago. If we are not increasing in patience it is only that we are not yielding and submitting to the Holy Spirit.
KINDNESS is a beautiful reflection of God in our lives by the absence of an abrasive manner in my dealings with people. I want an increasing tendency toward personal kindness in my way with others.
GOODNESS is being Godlike! It is the opposite of fallen humanity. I want to be doing good to all those around me.
FAITHFULNESS is a trustworthy and dependable life. The kind of person that keeps their own life in order so that you can count on them. I want to make and keep my word and be making strides in reliability and dependability.
MEEKNESS is the opposite of asserting yourself. I want my personal agenda and my rights to be in hopeless shape, crucified with Christ and fading.
DISCIPLINE is defined by the Greek Dictionary as “a virtue, which consists in mastery of the appetites and passions, especially the sensual ones.” The only force that can control our flesh is the Holy Spirit. When yielded to Him we become vessels that are worshipful sacrifices to Him no longer to self. Self cannot control self. Flesh is not able to harness flesh. Only the Spirit can discipline us. I want to be graciously under the control of God’s Spirit of Discipline. I want to be beating under and giving knockout blows to your flesh as Paul was in I Cor 9:27.
