This is the prophetic word for August 2020.
Lord wanted me to share this scripture with you for deep meditation and study.
1 Corinthians 13 New King James Version
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
I know you’ve probably heard it many times before. Majority of the times at a wedding, still wondering why it’s only done there.
I’ve watch over the months as the church, and even more disappointing – the church leaders, completely forget the greatest commandments
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
Yes, not because we’ve been saved and we are now under the new covenant means we’ve eliminated the commandments. We haven’t. Love fulfills the law. The key to fulfilling the 10 commandments or the 2 outlined by Jesus is love.
Our answer to every problem is love.
The solution to all the problems is love.
Why? Because it covers a multitude of sins. It silences the mouth of the enemy. Next time you have a clash with someone you think is your enemy, try love.
Love is an action word (1 Corinthians 13:4-10) so it is actually something that you do more than it is something you say. Unless kindness is coming from your speech.
Love never fails. At this very moment we are drawing to the end of our dress rehearsal and for those of you that are still trying to figure out how we solve all this, let me give you a peek at the answer…
Love.
As the world looks for solutions here and there, the church shouldn’t get caught up in that. We already know the answer. Don’t let the enemy fool you into thinking there is some other solution. That is the lie. Love is the solution. All we have to do, is do it!
Hello MOP,
Thank you for this word. I agree 100% that love is what is needed and is always the solution. I could also go further and say that God is Love according to the Bible so people need God/Jesus. We are the letter that people read to see God’s love and heart (inspired by 2 Corinthians 3:2-5). Now you asked us what we thought the solution was before reading the word. My first thought was “the return of Jesus.” Perhaps I was thinking too deeply 🙂
I read this word the same day it was written, but have been pondering over the content and the question. I will like to share two things. I have had lots of hurt, betrayal, disappointments and have been praying against bitterness taking a root in me and for me to fully and truly forgive from the heart. Thank God, for the healing that has occurred thus far. I recently had a Holy Spirit inspired image as if Our Lord Jesus was saying “Just imagine the individual beside me, on my cross. I died for them as well.” It is kind of hard to be annoyed with someone when you visualize them beside Jesus like that! My prayer is that I continue to put that image before me when someone hurts me, that I be filled with grace, and take Ecclesiastes 7:8 -7:9 seriously. I, too, have my shortcomings as well. Galatians 5 comes to mind. Please kindly keep me in your prayers in this regard.
I’ll end with this sweet discovery. I had heard the song “So will I” by Hillsong in the past, but it was not really “highlighted” in my spirit. However, last week, it was highlighted and each word was very convicting and filled me with awe, humility, encouragement, inspiration, hope, and love for the One Who loves us in ways we cannot fully comprehend. Enjoy!

Just before I started reading this; someone had told a lie about me,which really upset me and I was ready to get even with her.However! I heard in me, “don’t be angry with her cause you can only give what have in you ,so you give her what you have “Love”
Only for me open upon this instruction, which is a Confirmation of the need for us to yield our hearts and will to be used of God to give love to the dying world.
There is so much hatred, envy Wickedness and bitterness, but we must be the salt and hope of the world.
Love is the only debt we owe the world indeed. Lord help me to love the love able and the unloveable in Jesus Name.
Thank you MOP for your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.

Sure you are more than being right.
The world’s present system of things was founded on hatred,way back in the garden of Eden. This was from the time Adam who was mandated to continue with the proper system established by the Almighty God, disobeyed and sided with Satan.
From that time untill now the devil has been in control wielding much influence on people. Luke 4:6 John 12:31 1john5:19.
Hence majority of mankind in general find loathsome tendencies and characters to be the best way of Life,(doing things) but causing much pain and suffering.Ephesians2:2
However we are so much great full for God’s tender mercies, by his grace (undeserved kindness) through his son we have the forgivness of our sins, once we acknowledge our need for it leading to us being redeemed from loathsomeness hence acquiring the ability to show Love (John 13:34,35 )in All aspects of our life allowing order and harmony to manifest in our dealings with our fellow mankind which in turn brings sanity to the Earth as envision by our Master and savior Jesus Christ.
Blessings
Wow!. Love will never run out of steam or answers. While reading the article these verse in Romans 5 came to my mind. “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation works patience, endurance & perseverance; And endurance, develops character; and character produces joyful hope: And hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”–[Romans 5:3-5 AMP]… we have all that it takes to win, come what may, in any given situations or circumstances, we just need to let loose the flood of the love of God shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Dear MOP
