Agape: Love without boundaries

 

The Agape kind of love is defined as the unconditional God kind of love. It is that love that sees no borders or boundaries when it starts to care for its intended target.
It is the charitable Christian virtue. It does not require any provocation for it to manifest, it loves first before it is appreciated or sought after.

Agape love is the greatest of them all, it just loves without any condition. 1 Corinthians 13:8 says: Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

From the above passage of scriptures we can quickly conclude that other virtues might fail, but love is the most powerful and love never fails.
God Himself is love. He reigns and rules as He dwells in love. Everything about His being is love. I have been studying the life and the person of Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa with the desire to see where the secret of his success lies until recently when God in His infinite mercy granted me the grace to see and comprehend the secret behind it all.

There was a time in the bible when Jesus would want to know what the world was saying about Him and also what His disciples had to say about Him(Matthew 16: 13-19).
The world had its own definition of who Jesus was and so was the church. There must come a time in the life of a servant to be able to correctly define his master. Then who is prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa?

Prophet Makandiwa is an ark of God that is moved by nothing else other than the love of God. He is a father, a guide, a seer and a vessel whom God is using to showcase his love. He esteems the principles of love high above everything else.

The agape love is always seen manifesting in the life and ministry of prophet Makandiwa. His heart is full of compassion that’s why he heals the sick folks. One could see Jesus in the eyes of the man of God. The prophet of God is eyes to the blind, feet to the lame and father to the poor (Job 29:15 &16).

There are thousands of people who are benefiting from the anointing Jesus endowed upon the man of God. After ministering to the needs of the people spiritually, prophet Makandiwa because of the grace and the agape love he is also ministering to thousands of souls in the physical.

Many have benefited and a lot are benefiting financially and materially from the man of God despite their spiritual orientations.
His love knows no boundaries. Presidents, secretaries and pastors of various churches in our nation have been blessed by the prophet with various material blessings ranging from cars, houses, clothes, groceries just to mention but a few.

The man of God Papa Makandiwa like Abraham of the bible has been promoted and blessed by God and has actually become a blessing.
He has become a father to so many fatherless children of our societies. Children from the less privileged families are finding comfort and refuge in his hands. He is paying school fees to so many primary, secondary and university students.

Widows and the destitute are finding shelter from the man of God’s bosom.
Recently on Sunday March 24, at UFIC church service, hundreds of elderly people from different church denominations were spoiled by Papa and Mama Makandiwa with so many goodies and groceries.

That’s when I heard wisdom whispering to me saying: you see how powerful is agape love, learn from my servant! By the grace and agape love of God upon my father in the Lord prophet Makandiwa, we are more than 340 people who have been made proud owners of cars.

He took thousands of people that includes me from the streets and rented houses for us. Agape love is very powerful and it is the ultimate.
Watching my father in the Lord demonstrating this kind of love I concluded that the world can be peaceful if love is to be practised and becomes a thing to live by.

I saw chiefs, farmers, companies and even churches (not only UFIC) benefiting from the vast love invested in the heart of prophet Makandiwa. Critics of this love are even driving and living in the comfort of their houses benefiting from this agape love in the man of God.

Jesus multiplied bread and fish and fed thousands even the Pharisees, critics ate and benefited from the man they did not believe in, all because of the agape God kind of love.

Love is powerful and love is the ultimate power that governs the kingdom of God. Which God do you worship if you can’t love?
Mark 12:30 and 31, Jesus emphasised that the first of all the commandments of God is to love Him and then love one’s neighbour. Love only becomes love when it is expressed and given away. No matter how much a man claims that he loves God, that love for God has to be practical.

If a pastor has the love of God in him, he has to manifest that love by healing the sick, casting out devils and much more he has to bless the poor and the fellow neighbours.
Show me your love of God by showing me how many orphans, widows and members of the society you are taking care of!

Love is not love when it remains in the individual’s mind, love has to be expressed! Other things can be faked and imitated, but when one decides to be like God, love has to be the trademark of that individual. Love cannot be faked.

In this end time revival, we need to manage and run our church affairs with love. Love God’s creation and the Lord will love you.
Whatsoever you sow, the same God shall cause you to reap (Galatians 6:7&8). Sow love and reap love. Among all kinds of love, agape is the greatest of them all.

Thank God for prophet Makandiwa in UFIC who talk and live the talk. The man of God prophet Makandiwa has been taken this far because of the love he has for God and His creation.

Come to UFIC, come to the world of wonders, the world of God. Let love do the talk!
