You can be productive in life just by functioning in love. Love is much more than a feeling of affection; it is a life of power. As forceful and effective faith is, Love is greater than faith.
Text :1 corinthians 13:13
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity (love), these three, but the greatest of these is charity.
Most Christians know what it means to live by faith, not many know what it means to live by love. In fact, the reason most Christian's faith is not working is because their faith is void of love. Faith works by love, if you want your faith to be effective, then, you need to live a life of love.
Text :Ephesians 5:2
2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.
This is the kind of life we need in our world today. We live in a world of wickedness, hate and all sort of vices, only love can heal our world.
"Love is much more than a feeling of affection; it is a life of power"
If you are a Christian, the love of God is made available in your heart by the Holy Spirit; all you have to do is demonstrate it. God loved us and demonstrated his love towards us while we were yet sinners. His love is perfect and unconditional.
Love is the greatest revelation of God's power and glory.
Text :Ephesians 3:19
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all the fullness of God.
This is so amazing! When you function in the love of God, it will catapult you into ”the fullness of God” Just to write these words, I feel the anointing go through my body. The fullness of God is the totality of divinity, the maximum capacity of Deity. Tell me, Can a person filled with the fullness of God suffer in life? Impossible!
The result of functioning in love is mind-blowing! It's rewarding, it makes life interesting. When you lead a life of love,you become a haven of hope to your world.
"Love is the greatest revelation of God's power and glory"
Love is a force that attracts people towards you.
Everybody wants to be loved and cherished. Love sees the good in people and seeks to bring it out. Love is an agent of change. Functioning in love makes you a world changer.
A lot of persons find it hard to define love. The word of God clearly gives us an insight into what love is,
Text :1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.5 It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable and it keeps no record of being wronged.6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful and endures through every circumstances.
You can use God's word to judge yourself to know if you are truly functioning in love. You can express true love from your heart, owing to the fact that you are born again.
