In this month of love, who
is it that you would profess your love to? Who is your first love? The sin of
the church of Ephesus was that they left their first love. Revelation 2:4. Have
you left your first love?
The first and most
important commandment is: “You shall love the lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength” Jesus termed this
commandment the most important of all. It therefore means that our first love
is God.
A lot of our brothers have
gone astray chasing after material possessions, positions in the society and
money. These things they now love so much to the neglect of their first love,
and still hope in vain that God will be with them, that He will answer their
prayers. God ask Ezekiel: “Son of Man, these men have set up their idols in
their hearts, and put before them that which causes them to stumble into
iniquity. Should I let Myself be inquired of at all by them?” God went ahead to
say that those that do that will be made a sign and a proverb in order to
ensure others don’t go astray.
Why chase after these worldly
possessions when it is yours by right? In Ephesians 1:3 the bible tells us
that we have already been blessed in the heavenly realm. This means that, as a
kingdom citizen, you are already blessed and a blessing. Whatever you do will blossom;
you need not make them your idol and love them more than your God.
Seek first the Kingdom by
loving and doing His will and you shall have all you ever wanted, by simply
asking Him for it. Romans 8:28 tells us that “And we know that all things work
together for the good of those who love God…” So, why love all these things,
when loving only God would open the door to all other things for your pleasure?
If you love wife/husband,
money, house and any other material possession more than God, you are not worthy
of the Kingdom, and the Kingdom will reject you in the last day. Go back to your first love and you shall begin
to experience divine fruitfulness in every area of your life.
Jesus said “As the Father
has loved me, so have I loved you, abide in my love.” Chose to love God and
abide in His love and all things shall work for your lifting in Jesus name.
Amen.
