LOVE IS A COMMAND, NOT AN OPTION

"So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other." John 13:34 NLT

Living by love will make you succeed and be blessed. That is, in your Spirit, Soul and Body.
Love is the primary key to success in life. Jesus lived by this and told His disciples[us] to also do the same.
The Bible talks about the fact that love will be the only thing to remain after faith and hope had failed. We won't even need them when we get to heaven. But we will still need love in heaven. God Himself is Love. That means that love exists in heaven but there is nothing like God is hope or an Arch angel is faith.

Love allows us to tune into the channel of God for a spiritual revelation for our lives.

What does love have to do with spiritual revelation?

It makes us strong or completely confident in the mysterious plan of God (Col. 2:2). The worst thing I believe can happen to a man is for him to be successful in the wrong thing. You can do everything in this world you decide to do. In spite of this, what is the main thing God wants you to do at this very hour(time). Ask yourself if He wants you to be where you are right now and to do what you are doing right now. You may be a successful bank manager but God may want you in the medical field as a doctor.

It is therefore key that we get to know the plan of God for our lives. This plan is not an ordinary plan but a mysterious one and you need to walk in love to comprehend or understand it.
Jesus told the disciples to wait for the mysterious plan of God which was the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in their lives so that they could be His witnesses. And they did so by waiting in love toward one another (Acts 2:1-4).

In my next article on love, I will talk about other benefits of love which has to do with Spiritual revelation.
