Lessons from my QuietTime:
Loving Christ in
“Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.”
Ephesians 6:24
This passage under review gives us an insight into the fact that there are people who profess to love Christ but are not sincere about their profession. But are there people these days who love Christ sincerely and genuinely? Yes! Loving Christ in sincerity is about loving Him with undying and incorruptible affection. It is about loyalty and commitment to Christ and His kingdom. It is about resolute determination to go to any level to prove your love for Him. It is an agape love which never fades or ends. We can only demonstrate our love for Christ if we understand the depths of His love for us in the first instance. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself said, “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
John 15:12-13
Let’s consider 3 ways to prove that we love the Lord in Sincerity:
1. The Way of Decision!
“I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.”
Psalms 18:1
Love is a resolute decision! For instance, Leah Sharibu, a 16-year daughter of God in North East, Nigeria proved her love for Christ. She was offered freedom by Boko Haram, a deadly terrorist group if she could deny Jesus. But she refused boldly and courageously. As I write, she is still in captivity. But God shall soon release her! We must make a resolute decision to love Christ no matter the challenge!
2. Feeding His Lambs/Sheep
“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.”
John 21:15
One outstanding way to prove our love for Christ is by feeding His Sheep. We should be at the forefront of catering for the people of God.
3. Labour of Love
“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.”
Hebrew 6:10
We prove or show our love to Christ by loving and helping His people. Labour of Love is any type of work which we do for His saints or advancement of His kingdom without the consideration of monetary gains or profits.
I decree and declare that you will love the Lord Jesus Christ in all sincerity in Jesus’ mighty name.
Yours sincerely,
Joe Jesimiel Ogbe
