A Divine Mandate

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." - John 13:34 - 35.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU! Jesus said.

What being a Christian means to you?

...worshiping?

...surrendering?

...submission?

...going to church?

...maintaining a devotion?

...tithing?

...reading bible?

...forgetting sin?

...sharing Gospel?

...loving people?

Jesus said: ""If you love me, you will obey what I command." - John 14:16

Do we love Jesus? Does being a Christian mean Loving Jesus? My answer is yes!

Then Jesus also said: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." - John 13:34 - 35

Should we love or show love to other people?

Yes, because Jesus said and it is one of the things that He wants us to do.

Yes, because we love Jesus!

During Jesus' life on earth He used to talk to His disciples directly with His biological and physical voice. And I believe that until today Jesus still talks to us, through different ways and circumstances. If we just listen carefully to that voice we will hear it as audible as it sounds like a real voice.

Have we ever come to a point of listening to the soft and gentle voice of our Lord wholeheartedly and attentively?

Many of us have been living under God's gracious love for so long now, but sad to say many of us still have yet to hear God's voice. I don't really know why, maybe we are just not listening, maybe God is not really talking to us Or maybe Someone or something is blocking that God's voice that tells us something very important in relation to our neighbor.

Love One Another... soft whisper of Jesus.

My son I love you, could you love them for me?

Could you tell them how much I love them? - Jesus.

Last night I was doing my devotion. I was reading through the book of Isaiah then until I reached chapter 6. This is all about the calling or the anointing of lips of Isaiah.

Isaiah heard the voice of God...

Then I heard a voice of the Lord saying "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" Then I said "Here I am Send Me" - Isaiah 6:8

God talked to Isaiah and asked "Whom shall I send and will go for us?" then Isaiah without any question and second thinking, he offered himself.

I believe God is still asking the same question to our generation. And God is still waiting for us to answer, "HERE WE ARE, SEND US!"

My fellow young people of this generation living under God's Love, we have been given a divine mandate from heaven...

A task that we need to fulfill.

A love that we need to share.

A light that we need to shine.

We are the generation that God entrusted to be bring light when there is darkness...

to bring hope when there is injustice...

to bring love when there is hatred...

to bring remedy when there is brokenness...

and to bring Jesus in the hearts of the lost...

God is still asking, "Whom shall I send and will go for us?"

  1. I believe Everyone of us especially Christians should be aware of this. Because if not, that would be a problem when Jesus come back. He will probably ask us if we really followed Him.

  2. I really want to be a part of this expanding kingdom of God.

    He loves me so much and He has proven it on the cr0ss 2000years ago.

    But sometimes for any unkn0wn reas0ns, I'm having hard time sharing the gospel.

    Then til i c0me to a p0int of asking what if I w0nt be able to do my task as a Christian?.. Will i be punished? Wil i still be saved in the day of judgment?

  3. I got this from YUCK's message through Friendster and I believe it is something worth-sharing.

    A farmer who sows wheat is never surprised when wheat grows from the ground where it was planted. That’s the universal law of sowing and reaping. Paul used it to illustrate a corresponding spiritual principle: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Gal. 6:7). Our sinful nature says, “Satisfy yourself,” while the Spirit urges us to please God (v..

    Today is planting time. God has promised: “In due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart” (v.9). — David C. McCasland
