Timeless Truth
With Pastor Tope Oyeneye
Love Is A Commandment
Scripture.
Matthew 22:36-38 KJV
"Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.This is the first and great commandment".
Message:
Love is a command, it is not a suggestion or advice, it is something the commander wants done irrespective of the surrounding situation or circumstances. The word "commandment" is from the word "command", it is something you must obey no matter how you feel, no matter the situation and without excuses. God does not just have love, He is love. Love is both the nature and character of God.
This is why Jesus never said, "thou may", or "thou should or could", Jesus used the word "shalt" which means "shall". No matter how we feel or the situation at hand, God said "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind". The base of the love of God is our heart, God wants us to love Him with the whole of our heart.
It is out of the heart that the issues, outcomes, manifestations and results of life flows from. Once it is in your heart, it will soon be in your hands, it is a sure process. He wants to be loved with the whole of our soul, the soul is the seat of our emotions. God wants us to love Him back with all our emotions. Emotion can be seen as "energy in motion".
God wants all your energy invested in loving Him. And He wants us to love Him with all our mind. Let your thoughts and imagination be consumed with the love of God. When all these are in place, the summary is that, you will be able to love God, spirit, soul and body. When this is basically in place, you will have capacity to love yourself and to love others.
