Topic: Obey the Command

Text: By this shall all men know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another. (John 13: 35).

The love of Christ for His Church is what united Him and His church together. Christianity is meaningless without love. Love in the body of Christ is a command. It is not optional. You cannot be a true Christian without love for one another. The fragrance of love in the body of Christ is a message to the unreached people in the world. We must take practical steps of love within the body of Christ as Churches, agencies and fellowship to take the Gospel to the unreached people. We must show love by encouraging one another in praying together, forming an outreach team in our area, supporting missionaries and strategically reaching the unreached.

Practically show the love of Christ during this year’s month of Mission. Team up with others to show the love of Christ. The gospel is about the Good News of the love of Christ for the world. So, it is a command to make the love of Christ in us known to the world.

See 1 John 2: 5

Prayer:

• Pray for Nigerian Churches to be motivated in the love of Christ for the unreached.
• Pray for Nigerian Churches to experience the revival of God’s love.
• Ask the Lord to make His love find expression through you to the dejected and the lost.
