Love thy neighbor as thyself!!
Matthew 22:37-39
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it,
Love thy neighbor as thyself

” Love thy neighbor as thyself” means you cannot love somebody more than yourself. It is biblically incorrect. You cannot kill yourself for somebody in quotes

That is the highest kind of love, the agape and unconditional love of God. Only God can do that.

John15: 13 says
Greater love has no man than this. That a man should lay down His life for His friend.

Like the verse above, laying down your life for another is the greatest kind of love ( Greater love has no man than this)

Meaning if another man should lay down His life for another , it could be for any other reason but for love ( Greater love has no man)
It could be for favor or forgiveness for his people because he/ she has offended someone etc but never for love

No man qualifies to do what Christ did. There were great Prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah etc why did God send Jesus I steady of using them?

The Apostles like Peter, John and Paul did great things. A hanker hief used by the Apostle Paul could heal. Why did God send Jesus ?
Dear student, worker and ambassador of Christ never consider making human or animal sacrifices to promote your ministry. It is unnecessary.

1 Thessalonians 5: 24 says

Faithful is He who has called you and He also will do it.

He will equip you with all you need. If your whole ministry of. 10 or more years saves just one soul. Do not get discouraged, yours is to preach the word, the conviction of the soul is the Holy Spirit’s work. ( 2 Timothy 4.2):
God be with you.

Suggestions for success
1. Pray for grace and strength to excel in all you do.

Song for meditation

Let this song be your confession and prayer

My love I give unto you
Its the love that the world cannot give
Its the love that the world cannot understand
Love to know
Love to live
My love I give unto you
Amen
