    DISPENSE HIS RICH LOVE

    “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome” 

    1 John 5:3 (NKJV).

    Understanding God’s love is so essential for your manifestation.

     Beloved, do you love the Lord?
    The answer is here:
     
    “If ye love me, keep my commandments… He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.” John 14:15;24 (KJV).
     
    To keep God’s commandment is to walk in obedience to His Word. It is to fulfill an authoritative prescription.
     
    This means the Lord’s commandments are not burdensome. As we have seen in the opening verse (1 John 5:3).
     
    The word “burdensome” is the Greek word, “barus” which means, burdensome grave, or grievous, heavy weightier.

    God’s commandment does not lead to a burdensome grave. God’s commandment as revealed in Christ, is Life.

     It is an authorized prescription of liberty.
     
    Remember Jesus is the Truth and the Life. (John 14:6; John 1:14; John 1:4).
     
    The Lord’s commandments are not lists of rules and regulations you must follow. He is not speaking of the Law given to Israel through Moses.
     
    The Lord’s commandments are the revelation of Himself. 
    He is the complete revelation of God.
    He is the truth of God that brings freedom (John 8:32)
     
    For Jesus to say, “If” you love me, doesn’t necessarily mean, it’s possible a born-again, may lack His love.
     
    When you become born again, the Love of God is dispensed into you, through, the Holy Spirit. (Romans 5:5).
     
    Thus, you already have the capacity to Love the Lord.
     
    This means that keeping Jesus’ commandments is a product of your love for Him.

    Doing what Jesus says, or obeying His Word, is an outflow of the love of God at work in you.

     This love is deeply rich and cannot be exhausted nor be quenched by any level of selfish desire.
     
    It is beyond any strong affection and set on doing what Jesus wants. That means love is an empowering ability within you to respond right to the Words of Jesus and act on them.

    The more you act on the Word of the Lord, the more you demonstrate His rich love, which is at work in you.

     You train yourself to demonstrate His Love and to bear the fruits of His love in you.
     
    Shalom

    (Deuteronomy 6:5;10:12; Mark 12:30; John 8:29;55)
     
    WE PRAY
    1. That your love will grow and increase beyond measure, bringing you into the rich revelation of spiritual insight in all things. And that you will be enabled to choose the most excellent way of all —becoming pure and without offense until the unveiling of Christ. 
     
    2. And you will be filled completely with the fruits of righteousness that are found in Jesus, the Anointed One—bringing great praise and glory to God!

    ARE YOU GROWING? 4

    “Instead, by speaking the truth in a spirit of love, we must grow up in every way to Christ, who is the head. 
    Ephesians 4:15 (GNT)

     
    There are some fellow saints in Christ, who are interested in growing their finances, their businesses, their families, and their relationships.
     
    They feed their minds with information which helps them in their career pursuits.
     
    However, you must know that, a person is sustained by how he has built his inner man.
     
    “The spirit of a man sustains him in sickness, But as for a broken spirit, who can bear it?”
     Proverbs 18:14 (Amplified)
     
    If you are not well built in your spiritual life, you don’t carry any weight. When your life is hit by a raging storm, your spiritual weight and foundation will determine whether you will be shaken, moved or immovable.
    The strength of your life is dependent on how rooted you are in God.
    How deep are you growing in Christ?
     
    You don’t have to live a shallow life in Christ. Grow deeper in Him, for He is the strength of your life.
     
    In the previous episode, I mentioned that, the greatest evidence of your growth into Christ in everyway is how you practice and express the love of Christ.
    The expressions of the love of Christ are the fruits of love.
    A plant which doesn’t grow, cannot bear good fruits. The good fruits you bear are the evidence of your maturity.
     
    There are people who measure their spiritual growth by the gifts of the spirit they demonstrate.
     
    Meanwhile the gifts of the spirit are gifts. You can have the gift of word of knowledge or the gift of prophecy and not necessarily be matured in Christ. 
    A gift of the spirit does not determine your growth in Christ. 
    Your growth in Christ is determined by the Fruits of the Spirit you bear.
     
    Look at what Paul said about gifts of the Spirit and love:
     
    “If I were to speak with eloquence in earth’s many languages, and in the heavenly tongues of angels, yet I didn’t express myself with love, my words would be reduced to the hollow sound of nothing more than a clanging cymbal. And if I were to have the gift of prophecy with a profound understanding of God’s hidden secrets, and if I possessed unending supernatural knowledge, and if I had the greatest gift of faith that could move mountains, but have never learned to love, then I am nothing. And if I were to be so generous as to give away everything I owned to feed the poor, and to offer my body to be burned as a martyr, without the pure motive of love, I would gain nothing of value.”
     1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (TPT)
     
    The Lord does not measure your maturity by the mighty gifts of the spirit you demonstrate. Your maturity or growth in Christ is measured ultimately by LOVE.
    Your love-life in Christ makes all the difference.
    I ask you again, are you growing in Christ?
