Doing Exploits by His Love

 

Text: 1 Corinthians 13:8 (KJV)

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fall; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

Due to our redemption in Christ, we have become pathfinders, and by so doing, we are supposed to go beyond normal, even in our love for God. We need to move from the point of knowing God just for the sake of being strong in the Lord to the point of doing exploits by His love. In our world of today, many people want to do exploits, but they try to skip the process of growing their love for God, and I tell you, it is impossible to skip this process because this process makes you understand God better. Daniel 11:32b- But the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. The question is,what is the percentage of your love for God? Whatever your response may be, then ask yourself, is my love for God practical, and can the people around me say or see that love in all that I do? Could you take a few seconds to think about it? We need to make our love for God practical, and this can only be done by us having a deep knowledge about the originator of love, God.1 John 4:7-8- Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Amazingly, the level of our knowledge of God takes us to a point where we are mentally strong, and that makes loving very easy. There is an aspect of God's nature in every one of us, and it always responds positively to love. There are qualities of love that make it possible to do exploit, and it is necessary to study the word of God so as to activate such attributes. For example, love never gives up but is patient. We can see a lot of those attributes in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (you can read that later). From our text of today, we learn that so many things will perish and vanish someday but love never dies or vanished. There is an exploit that goes beyond giving your life to Christ, and these exploits and achievements are for God lovers; that is why we must strive to increase our love for him. Always remember, the hotter the love of God, the higher the level of exploits you achieve, so unlock your exploits today by seeking for a deeper knowledge of His love.
