The Bible says: "He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches".
The Christian life, the life of men, it has only one meaning,
listen, God is talking to you.
Your life on Earth has only one meaning and purpose, and only one duty:
To love God upon all things.
We are to hear much of the Word: "Fire",
we hear it all around. "Fire that goes up, fire that goes down".
We are to hear much of the word: "Glory".
"Oh Glory! Praise the Lord! Glory!"
We are to hear much of the word: "Prosperity".
We are to hear exceedingly the word: "Blessing".
We are to hear exceedingly the word: "Promises of God".
But we are not to hear the greatest word,
that represents, symbolizes and identifies with the Gospel.
With the person of God and with the Bible.
We are not to heard the word: "Love".
And all the Bible, all the Law is resumed in love.
The greatest commandment of the Bible is Love.
The Bible says that: "God is love".
The Bible itself, is a letter of love!
It's based on love.
And we are not to hear [love]!
The church is not to be taught and is not to be learnt what is: "To love God".
I'm not talking about the duty of love.
I'm saying that, Christians who don't even know that they have to love.
We failed!
We can't even understand what is to love God.
The more, to be loving Him.
Understand: that among many laws, the most important is not to fear.
Is not to obey.
The most important is not to sing for Him.
It's not to preach. It's not to read the Word.
The most important is not to have "positions".
The thing that He requires from me, among all that I can give, are not those ones.
The thing He requires most from me is: to love Him!
Listen! Try to understand what the verse requires.
The greatest feeling that a man can have for another... of for anything,
The greatest feeling that you are able to express.
You, man, of flesh and bones, woman.
The greatest feeling you can express is love!
And the greatest feeling that you can express is what God desires to.
And requires that you express to Him: Love Him!
Yet, you, you haven't known that.
Because you grew up listening only:
"Blessings"!
You understand and imply that a God exists only to bless you.
That you are a wretch, and God is the greatest "Santa Claus" of the century.
And you only go before God for a need.
You only have heard that God "gives", that God "heals", that God "prospers".
That God "sets free", that God "baptize with the Holy Ghost".
Then your mind become affected by a selfish doctrine, of petition.
And we don't find it in the Bible, as fundamental.
My needs are provided by God, however, in whole the Bible,
it shows that God, by all patriarchs of the Church, was adored.
Was adored. Was served. Was praised.
King David, in very few passages, requires something from God.
In the majority passages, he gives something to God.
He offers sacrifices. He builds temples, tent for God.
Brings the ark from Obededom [the house],
Serves God, because he understands: I need to love!
But we are failing! The generation of this century is teaching wrong.
Is diverting the focus of the Church.
Is making a Church a Christianity that doesn’t know God.
That doesn’t have any desire for Him, that neither understands that have to love Him.
And much less loves Him!
Have you ever imagined that last Day,
because the death are verging you, verging me, we are mortal beings...
We are subject to death, to disease, a car crash…
A fulminant heart attack can take us in any moment.
That's a certain that you have: Death!
And if God look into your eyes and say: "You even didn't known this commandment!"
"Depart from me! Because you never loved me!"
We have a big responsibility.
Look at what was trusted for us to do...
Look at the responsibility that you have, human being.
I'm not preaching to a church, I'm preaching to the human being!
"The image and likeness of God!" Take a look at the responsibility that you have.
Look at the compromise that you have.
