Hate evil, you who love the Lord

That was the title of the Word being shared during Kitchen's Fellowship last Wednesday. It was a great time coming together with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ prior to Bible Study. Over the simple meal, we learnt what it meant by holy hatred. It is not a human emotion of hatred but it is a hatred towards sins and things that are against God. Let's take a moment to ponder upon ourselves and look into things that are not pleasing to God; pride, arrogance, anger, rage, malice, jealousy and the list goes on.

We should not give place to sin at all in our life. If we love the Lord, we would hate sin. If we love to see His name glorify, we would hate things that pollutes His name. If we love to obey His commandments, we would hate things that would stop us. If we love the Lord, we would at all cost make sure that sin does not have a foot step in our life.

Well, praise the Lord for the desire to love Him comes from Him too, therefore, the Holy Spirit would be more than glad to guide and lead us, making sure that as we pray, we would pray to look at things the way the Lord would look at, to hate what He hates and to love what He loves.
