ARE YOU SHOWING LOVE?

God so love the world that He came down in himself to redeem us to His kingdom. He dedicated His life throughout His physical stay with us to 'doing good' wherever he went: He healed the sick, feed the poor, and share the good news of the Kingdom to all and sundry.

His love for mankind endeared Him to all except, the lovers of the world who allowed themselves to be used of the devil to actualize God's divine plans for us. No wonder the bible says that all things work for our good. Before His departure to be at the right hand of His Father, He commanded us to obey His commandments. There is no coercion in the commandment; rather, the requirement for His commandment is to love. For He said;' If you love me, keep my commandments'. 

The question we are asking ourselves today is; do we really love Christ? To truthfully answer this question, you will need to ask yourself another question; are you in obedience to the word of God? Below are ways to know whether or not you are obeying the word of God, which ultimately shows whether or not you love your neighbors and your God:

John 15:12 says; "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." To love one another is to:

A. Feed the hungry

B. Provide drink to the thirsty

C. Provide shelter for the stranger

D. Provide clothing for the naked

E. Visit the sick and those in prison

Are you engaged in some or all of the above right now? If not, you need to begin to show love by adhering to all of the above. The consequence of ignoring this acts of love is made clear by Jesus Himself in Matthew 7:26 "But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on a sand" Please read the Blessing of the obedience to the words of Christ in the same Matthew 7: 24-25.

As you show obedience to the words of Christ in this period that men celebrate lust instead of love, God will bless you richly above and beyond your imaginations in Jesus name.
