Communities of Love ❤️

Its all about love…that used to be a maxim for 104.1 Power FM back then…I am not sure what it is now but great good old times.

I am currently a student at Harvest Institute – School of Leadership and on a monthly basis, we have practical assignments to embark on. In the Month of April 2023, we had to identify and undertake a missional frontier – Which Is What I choose to call in this blog – COMMUNITIES OF LOVE

So, what are communities of love?!

Let’s keep it simple, because its all about love. Right where you are, home, work, Street, beach etc., who around you is in need? Whoever you have thought of, is your community of love.
Whoever you can support or serve in any way, to impact and make a difference in their life, is your community of love, because we are all called to serve!!

It has nothing to do with position, title, rank, physical appearance etc., it has more or else everything to do with making a difference in some else’s life even with just a word of encouragement, paying for their flight to Maldives, praying with them, providing for their basic needs if your able, listening to them, visiting them, sending that encouraging text etc.

Back to the assignment mentioned earlier, we decided to visit a group of vulnerable mothers in Kamwokya (a suburb in Kampala the capital city of Uganda), collected resources and shopped for their basic needs like food, soap, name it. We then met with the mothers one Saturday morning, spent about three hours listening to their stories, we were deeply moved by the experiences and challenges they face, but also we grew in wisdom…..those 3hours, was all the difference the mothers needed that day. A group of young lads and lasses, just encouraging them, praying with them, laughing, gifting them, and playing with them.

You and I need to birth healing – spiritual, emotionally, financially, in our communities of love, because we have the power to, the time to, the ability to, the resources to, above all the blessing to.
Some of the pointers to communities of love are vulnerable Single mothers, less-privileged kids in the neighborhood, the elderly, the disabled, that lonely friend etc. These and more are surrounding us everywhere.

How can you support them? Could you help the elderly wash their clothes? Buy basic needs hamper for a home? Teach the community children maybe once a week about any topic to grow their mindset, Share the love of God with them? Do you have extra clothes you can give out?

Key to note; money is not the only thing you can give! Time is given, a word of encouragement etc.

It’s only when we serve others that we have purpose. Someone (unknown to me) defined purpose as your gift to humanity. My church – Worship Harvest Ministries teaches that you are living in wilderness if all you ever care about is yourself and your household.

Apostle Moses Mukisa wrote in his book SSFG ‘Until your resources are impacting others in a positive way, you are still poor. You still have a poverty mindset…its about making those around you feel loved and special even in their station of life.

So, WHO IS YOUR COMMUNITY OF LOVE?
Reach out.

Until next time, stay growing and glowing!!
