Love. It is the first and foremost command Jesus gave us, yet all too many believers neglect to follow it.
I'm
talking about believers who can quote tremendous amounts of scripture
and who may speak the Name of Jesus 35 or 40 times a day, yet they're
rough and insensitive to the needs of their friends and family. They're
so busy "serving God," they don't have time to serve people. Strife is
their hallmark.
You may have been saved 45 years; you may talk in
tongues all day long; but if you have strife in your heart and you're
not living by the love commandment of Jesus, spiritual things are
foolishness to you.
When you're in that condition, the Name of
Jesus won't work. Faith won't work because the Bible says that faith
works by love. In fact, none of the gifts of the Spirit will work if you
don't have love. First Corinthians 13 says so.
Do you want to see the incredible power of God released through your life? Then start putting the love command in action. Start loving those around you.
Love
is the power charge, friend. God's power package just won't work
without it. That's why we've seen so many power failures in the Body of
Christ. Starting today, you and I can turn those failures around. We can
make up our minds to let the Word dwell richly within us. We can set
our hearts on keeping the commands of Jesus and speak His Name with
confidence and authority. And, most important of all, we can begin to
love one another.
Then we will truly see the power of God begin to flow.
