The love walk is a command, a command to obey. It is not suggestive, it is instructive. You can’t successfully walk in love without faith. The love that we possess is God’s love, it is unconditional and it is powered by faith.
As a matter of fact, you don’t need to have faith in people to love them, we love people because that’s who we are, we are love beings, but we are who we are because of our faith in God. Our love for people is not rooted in our faith in them, but our faith in God. We love strangers, we forgive without holding back and we let go bitterness; because we have faith in God who juggles righteously.
As you walk with the Lord, you don’t just love Him, you obey Him even at the most unusual times. He is not just your Saviour, He is Lord. He is your master. He owns you and you must fulfill his bidding. This happens by faith.
There are things you can’t pray away. One of them is God’s will. You can’t pray away God’s will, you obey it. You can’t also pray to have what you are supposed to receive by obedience. Prayer has its place, God’s will has its place too.
Jesus prayed at the garden of Gethsemane, but God’s will prevailed. He obeyed God’s will unto death, the death of the cross. What prayer did was to prepare Him for the task ahead. Jesus did not conquer death on the cross, he conquered death at Gethsemane. He could forgive, pray for his enemies and offer salvation while in pain.
If you fail in your love walk, it will affect your faith life; in the same vein, walking in love with others cannot happen blindly. God’s love is not blind. God’s love operates by faith. We walk by faith, faith is another type of sight. We love people with the eyes of faith. The eyes of faith are the eyes of God.
What About Galatians 5: 6?
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Here the Bible says faith works by love. Love is an indicator of the strength of our faith. Faith is not just towards God only, we demonstrate our faith to others through actions of love. For example, You can not successfully minister God’s healing power without compassion, faith without compassion is a futile work. Your faith in God’s supernatural provision will cause you to share and be a blessing to others.
This scripture talks about love as a measure and an expression of our faith; but the operation of agape, God’s unconditional love, cannot without the faith of God imparted into your heart. If you’re falling short in your love walk, all you need to do is to reinforce the hearing Gospel.. The good news of Christ Jesus will revitalize your love life.
