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.

Love is so beautiful. It influences quite a number of decisions that humans make. Because of God's love we also see his power in our lives. Thanks for sharing this with our Church.

It is important for us as Christians to function in love. God our Father is love and if we say we love God we have to love our neighbors.
Love is a key attribute of God in Christianity. 1 John 4:8 and 16 state that "God is love; and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him." ... In the New Testament, God's love for humanity or the world is expressed in Greek as agape. Thanks for sharing this

The eternal Father, who loved us and set us free from our sins, who loves us still with that love that will not let us go, and who will love us forever, calls us to worship him today as the only true lover of our souls. The Lord stoops to receive the love of our poor hearts. He calls us to remember the depth of his love for us in Christ. God seeks our love!
So now, people loved by God, let us join together and worship Him with love and joy!

  • Silent Prayer:

  • Opening Hymn: “We Come, O Christ, to You” PH 238 (5 stanzas)

  • Vow: Pastor: Congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ: Whom are we called to love completely?

All: The Lord God Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; the eternal Triune God who is our Father, our Saviour-Redeemer, and our Comforter, Helper, and Guide. He commanded His people to: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” (Deuteronomy 6:5)

  • God’s Greeting: Lord God, may your grace, your mercy, your love, and your peace be with us as we worship you today and always. Amen.

When we love eacxh orher, we will have the fear of God in us. Because the the bible made us to understand that God is love. We need to show love to people around us in orher for us to grow in the love of God.

When Moses wanted to see the glory of God, the Lord told Him He would proclaim the Name of the Lord as He passed by. His Words, “Slow to anger and abounding in Love. Love fulfills all of the laws and the prophets. Love for God enables us to keep His commands.
Amen on this!
God bless!
