ARE YOU KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS

Singing the God's song of love becomes more melodious when it is done with obedience to His words.

ARE YOU KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENT?

📖 BIBLE READING: JOHN 14:15-19 📖

Key Verse:
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
(John 14:15)

Many believers joyfully sing, “I love Jesus, I love Jesus, He’s my friend…” with uplifted hands and sincere emotion. Yet, the true test of our love for Christ is not found in the sweetness of our songs, but in the obedience of our daily lives. Jesus Himself gave us the clearest measure of authentic love in John 14:15: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

This statement is both simple and profound. Loving Jesus is not merely an emotional feeling or occasional religious activity. It is a deliberate, consistent choice to align our lives with His Word. When we truly love Him, we reject stealing, lying, hatred, fighting, disobedience, witchcraft, stubbornness, and every form of sin that grieves the Holy Spirit. Instead, we embrace holiness, integrity, kindness, and faithfulness.

True love for Jesus begins with a personal relationship with Him. We become His friends by believing in His finished work on the cross and receiving cleansing through His precious blood. Once we are born again, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in us and empowers us to live victoriously. However, this power is sustained as we make God’s Word our best companion. Daily Bible reading, meditation, and practical obedience transform our hearts and strengthen our walk with Christ.

Obedience is the highest expression of love. When we keep His commandments, we demonstrate that Jesus is truly Lord over our lives. We honour Him not out of fear or duty alone, but out of deep affection and gratitude for His sacrifice. This obedient life also becomes a powerful testimony that draws others to the Saviour.

As we grow in love for Jesus, let us share His love boldly with those still trapped in sin. Invite them into fellowship with other believers where they can experience the transforming power of Christ.

Remember, Singing about loving Jesus is easy, but truly loving Him is proven through keeping His commandments. Let your life become a living testimony that says, “Yes, Lord, I love You — and I will show it by obeying You.”

🏆 CHALLENGE 🏆
Purposefully choose obedience to God’s word and the Holy Spirit will strengthen you.

🙏 PRAYER 🙏

Heavenly Father, fill my heart with true, passionate love for You every day, in Jesus Name, Amen.

DO NOT DEPAIR

Having found out whom God is... DO NOT DESPAIR TEXT: PSALM 13:1-6 Key verse: “How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?” (Psalm 13:1) . Life throws up new challenges every day. This often makes the believer begin to think that God had abandoned him. Except he rouses himself up, he would become discouraged and lose all hope that help would ever come to him. David got to that point many times in his numerous battles in life. He probably prayed and fasted for long periods, but the onslaught of the enemy did not end. He was running out of options, hence he spoke in desperation to God. He seemed to conclude that He had forsaken him and wondered how long God would hide himself, and how long he was going to be abandoned to himself, getting ever more sorrowful daily. He was troubled that the enemy seemed to be triumphing over him; ...

NO SHORTCUT

If it is to be done aright, be rest assured that there is... NO SHORTCUT BELIEVERS' DIGEST PUBLICATION Bible Reading: 1 KINGS 15:16-24 Key Verse: “There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me” (1 Kings 15:19). Men always seek shortcut to success in life. Rather than live by God’s righteous standard, they seek to achieve success by any means possible. They justify their action by arguing that the end does indeed justify the means. This is despite their moral failings and character flaws, all of which contravene God’s expectations from His children. Such was the beginning of the end for King Asa, who had begun well to rule Judah and had introduced gr...

A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE

WINNERS' INTEREST PUBLICATION A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 3:19-21 (KJV) Key Verse: “And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground” (1 Samuel 3:19). The world, in which we live today is filled with corrupting influences. This forms the basis of God's call to His people to rise as rare treasures of purity and power. A “Gem of Spectacular Influence” is not an ordinary person. It describes a believer whose life carries unique, enduring value that transcends fleeting worldly trends. Like a precious gem that retains its brilliance even in darkness, such a life reflects resolute determination to pursue excellence in glorifying God, undimmed by surrounding negativity. The story of Samuel powerfully illustrates this truth. Raised in the tabernacle at Shiloh under the aged priest Eli, Samuel was surrounded by evil practices. Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were notorious for ...
