Walking In Love Is Walking In The Glory
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace
of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up
trouble you, and thereby many be defiled (Hebrews 12:15).
In Exodus 23:25-26, God made certain promises
to the children of Israel, who were God’s chosen
people of the old covenant. He told them: “And ye
shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy
bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away
from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their
young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfill.”
God didn’t say to them, “After you’ve prayed or
fasted, I’ll bless your bread and your water; and I’ll take
sickness away from you”; no! The only requirement
was for them to serve the Lord, and the blessing will
follow: there’d be no sickness in their midst. There
wouldn’t be any miscarriages; neither would there
be barren women in their land. He’d make sure the
women carry their pregnancies full term, and the
people lived healthy and strong, full and complete lives.
How awesome! It’s the same today. Ours is to walk in love.
Jesus said to His disciples in John 13:34, “A new
commandment I give unto you, That ye love one
another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one
another.” Sadly, many ignore this truth, and allow
bitterness to take a hold of their hearts. It accounts for
the terrible experiences of many, such as debilitating
sicknesses that defy all medications. Bitterness, anger,
and malice are some of the most common causes of
cancer. To walk in divine health, such unwholesome
traits must not be a part of your life.
You’re born to love. Love is your life. The Bible
says the love of God is shed abroad in your heart by
the Holy Spirit. Walking in love isn’t a commandment
for you as a new creation in Christ Jesus, but the only
way for you to live. God is love (1 John 4:16 & 18);
thus, to walk in love is to walk in God. No sickness,
disease, or infirmity can thrive in your body, because
you’re in the glory of God! Walking in love is walking in the glory.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of your love to my
spirit, and the ability to express and manifest your love to others.
You’ve made my life so beautiful, decorating it with your grace,
love and righteousness. Thank you for your glory in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
