BIBLE PASSAGE: Matthew 22: 33-37
33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Meditation: Matthew 22: 37
Jesus said unto Him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
THE MESSAGE
To be passionate about God is to be willing to put substantial energy into promoting His word, willing to sacrifice anything for His Kingdom and always telling somebody about God. Passion for God has to be consistent, fearless and powerful. David in the Old Testament, Paul in the New Testament and our Lord Jesus himself always talked about God and took deadly risks for Him. You catch the bug of passion at the new birth. But you need to activate it or else it will go cold.
When I was newly born again, my passion for God would sometimes make me go hungry for days yet l did not care. Passion for God purifies your heart and fills you with the need to please God. You are passionate for whatever you love, so if you claim to love God and have no passion for Him, then something is wrong. Passion for God made the trio of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to call king Nebuchadnezzar's bluff when the worship of their God was challenged. God will always answer His name when those who are passionate about Him call. Show your passion for God like David and God will show up for you.
