A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have
loved you, that ye also love one another (John 13:34).
We’re in the last days, and it’s our discovery, and expression of the
love of Christ that’ll usher us into that place where we’ll be ready for the
King’s expected return. That’s what’s going to get us prepared for the rapture
of the Church, and take us to the highest level of His grace. The earlier you
make that discovery, the better. There’re no two ways about it: you have to
walk in love.
A good number of Christians don’t know what it is to walk in love. It’s
amazing how people carry out ministry for Christ without knowing that love is
truly all that matters. It makes no difference what you do for the Lord; if
it’s not from a heart of love, it’s useless. Be love-inspired all the time.
Speak the love-language. Transmit love through your words and actions.
Galatians 6:7 says, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked....” Someone may
deceive himself and pretend to be walking in love, but the Bible says God
searches the heart. He sees your heart; and He knows whether or not you’re
motivated by love or by selfishness. One sure way you can measure your
love-walk is from your tongue—your communication. James explained thus: “My
brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater
condemnation. For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word,
the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body” (James
3:1-2).
Tame your tongue to be gracious, and affectionate. Be inspiring in your
communication. Let people remember you for how glorious, inspired, and
strengthened you made them feel from the words they received from you. Your
words locate you. They determine whether you’ve discovered His love.
It doesn’t really matter what anybody thinks about you or what you say or
think about yourself; what matters most are the words that come out of your
mouth every day, irrespective of who you’re talking to: God, men, yourself,
circumstances or nature. Be sure that your words and actions transmit the love
of God that’s in your heart.
PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for giving me the ability to speak and
express the God-life through my words and actions. My life is the daily
expression and manifestation of divine love. You’ve anointed my mind to think
and express your grace and love, guiding me to speak gracious and life-giving
words only, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further study: Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love
of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
1 Corinthians 13:8, CEV Love never fails! Everyone who prophesies will
stop, and unknown languages will no longer be spoken. All that we know will be
forgotten.
1 John 5:2-3 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we
love God, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we
keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
