Episode 2 – Love is A Verb
Introduction of Women of Africa Care On Air mission
Our FRIENDS Programme vision is “A generation of empowered young girls and women in their place of purpose and are role models of excellence and Integrity!”
Our FRIENDS movement is to transform communities and nations through the “See one, Do one and Teach one” mission. The desired outcome is “You raise a woman, you raise a community,” You raise the youth, you raise the next generation.” WOAC’s 8 levels of Empowerment is illustrated in the building levels diagram below:
The results of the empowerment levels are a Proverbs 31 woman qualified in the diagram below: A woman who is self-actualised has moment, she has mobility, she is active. Our mission on WOAC On Air and our Studio programmes is to raise up women and young girls to find their place of purpose and have a fulfilling life.
Our TOPIC for today’s episode is - Love is A Verb i.e., loves; loved; loving
“To feel great affection for (someone): to feel love for (someone)” Brittanica.com
Oprah Winfrey Quote – “Love is a verb. Is there admiration and respect? If there isn’t then there is no love. Love is not a feeling it is a behaviour; it is how a person acts and how they treat you.”
Behaviour – How do we treat others; how do we act? “A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” Luke 6.45
Do you love yourself?
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18
The Greatest of them is Love
“If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13.1-13
Success factors to being accepted and loved lies in these 2 scriptures:
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22-37-40
Proverbs 14.1 Every wise woman buildout her house: But the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.”
Obedience is better than sacrifice. Obedience protects us.
The Wise and Foolish Builders
46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.” Luke 6.46
