The microscope: Showing love in support of the New Year
Love demonstrated
The motive behind the scripture teaching “The creator is Love,” is because He demonstrates it, and then calls us to rise to demonstrate Love as He demonstrates it. The Book of the Muslims does not say much about love However, it advocates plenty about duty. This expression of love, is a verb. It takes steps to convey what you are declaring. Love is an enduring principle. Nowadays, most Black folks have by no means practised this love that is termed, in the Greek language as agape (the perfect love). We talk of love on the cheap level which is a mistaken notion to state it best. How can one demonstrate that “God is love”?
In the narrative of Moses, equally in the Bible and Qur’an, there is a populace suffering hideous subjugation. Times past have instructed us that God does not exist on the side of the tormenter. His kindness and His support have constantly been amid persons who are the least, not the majority; those who are distressed by lack of knowledge, those who put up with cruelty, dearth and filth. If you look at the state of people nowadays, it is clear why Jesus taught that it would be simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a wealthy man to witness the Kingdom of God. It is not that there’s something wrong with being rich but there’s something wrong with greed. The dilemma with affluence is that it makes the rich person callous to those less fortunate and unwilling to share affluence with those who don’t have it.
The Bible on the word
In John, Chapter 1, it tutors: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God And the light shined in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not, and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among men” and since man is what he eats: then should we masticate on the Word of God and exist in the Word of God, subsequently God exists in us. Therefore, the utmost exhibition of God’s love is that He would knock on the door of our psyche and offer us and call us to accept Him. The Bible’s dialogue concerning the imminence of the Son of Man points out that this man we call “Jesus” would arrive without scrutiny as a burglar in the hours of darkness. Well, why is he coming? It is to establish himself throughout That nation, that is no nation at all and he’s going to build them to be his people and will be their God. He has an assignment for them. Because humankind has gone into gloom and bestiality and debauchery, God now has a duty for these people to be released from the condition that they’re in. You don’t want to think much of yourself. You don’t want to believe that you could be loved enough that you are worthy to receive a visit from God in a human life form.
I desire to make the first move to introduce us to a human that cherished us. I want to establish between us a man that I certainly did not myself meet. I am influenced by his teachings through my tutor, Minister Louis Farrakhan, of his never-ending love for us. The Honourable Elijah Muhammad taught that “Fard Muhammad surfaced to us in North America from Mecca in the Middle East the Holy City of Mecca.” I can’t prove those teachings or show them to be false. However, I can say that the believers accept as true in what Allah (God) revealed to His servant. The Messenger trust such teachings and so do believers. And I believe it. That is my underpinning. I never saw Master Fard Muhammad, but I saw and learned from an observer of His Presence. put in plain words “eat the Word of God”? or its implication to “live the word of God”? If God has an undertaking for a nation, then all of those citizens take in an element to cooperate in that task. What do you see as your part in God’s charge for His selected persons?
The Foundation of Faith
What is the foundation of our faith how do our institutions prepare us for the trials of humanity today? Now, I’m going to challenge us. I don’t want you to tell me that you “love your people.” Each one of you that are of a faith-based community, you are the beneficiaries of somebody’s love. Some of you get dressed up in your Sunday, Friday and Saturday best garments, and saunter right by your brother/Sister in the street. Or occasionally visit the home of your fellow citizen and encourage them to listen to what you heard that civilized you, and you’re going to tell me that you love the folks? The glow of adoration in our hearts dimmed a long time past. So, my other queries to us are: Do we have parallel love for people? Can you look further than the imperfections and observe the desires of the individuals? Are you going to be a personality who is constantly critical of them?
If we believe that we are the folks of God: If you believe that, then treat the people like you accept as factual they are more than what they illustrate, because what they validate is the expression of their unawareness. If you feel affection for your people, what are you eager to do to establish it? What does it indicate that we are the beneficiaries of somebody’s love? How do we exhibit to others the affection that has been demonstrated to us? How will we display our love when seeing one more surge in the infection rate of the COVID-19 pandemic rolls on with the New Year?
