“We love him, because he first loved us.”
1 John 4:19.
One prayer I will encourage you to pray is
for God to grant you a revelation of His
love towards you. This is important because
when you come to understand the depth of
God's love for you, it will change your attitude and
response towards Him.
When God fills your heart with His love for you, it
becomes easy for you to obey Him. Do you find it
difficult to obey God or to sacrifice anything for
Him? Then you need to pray this prayer for
yourself.
For instance, Abraham was a man who obeyed God
promptly even when God tested him by asking him
to offer his only son Isaac whom he loved. Abraham
did not negotiate with God, neither did he delay in
carrying out what God had asked him to do. He did
not consider that if he offered Isaac, there will be no
future. No, if that was what will please God, he was
willing to do it. God's pleasure had become his
obsession even if it meant offering his only son
whom he loved. His love for Isaac was not greater
than his love for God. God was first in His life.
Whois first in yours?
See what God said through an angel to Abraham in
Genesis 22:12 (TLB) when he was just about to kill
his son and offer him to God whom he loved above
all else, He said "Lay down the knife; don't hurt the
lad in any way," the Angel said, "for I know that
God is first in your life-you have not withheld even
your beloved son from me."
I encourage you to reserve the first place in your life
Instruction.
Please read Ephesians 3:14-19 and ask God to
reveal His love to you.
