Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. (1 John 4:7
Love is not genuine unless it is demonstrated. God set the first example when he proved his love to us by sending his only Son to earth to die for our sins.

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God.
Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us.
In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction.
Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds.
You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com.
You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine.

Amen, thanks for this beautiful reminder. That is also one of my favourite scriptures.

Hi Yvonne
Thanks once again for your support. The above verse should be our pledge within the church that we say and practice daily. True love should be an important part of our life but unfortunately it is sadly lacking among the body of Christ.
God is not please with us. We need to focus less on our problems and reach out to others. In so doing we will be delivered from our trials speedily.

Hi Beverley,
This scripture is what being a Christian is all about; Love. It says God IS Love. Love is His DNA.
You are so right when you say God is not please with us. Why? We are too focused on self. Loving others comes natural for some people while others it takes time. But as we grow to be more liked Him we will also in our ability to love others.
Thanks for reminding me we have a long way to go. There are souls not being saved because the lack of love from the body of Christ.

Hi Vernon
I love your thoughts on this topic especially your phrase: love is God’s DNA. How would you know this fact? You could only know this by revelation of the Holy Spirit who lives inside your heart.
The Lord said in the book of Revelation that he will spew out all those who are lukewarm and are stumbling blocks to others. No one wants to be rejected by God so we need to pray harder that we all come to the knowledge and fullness of God.
Thanks Vernon and may God bless you.
