09 Mar New Command To Love
Pastor Vincent - 15 January 2015
Unmoved Covenant, New Convictions
Do you have an anchor point in your life? One that will pick yourself up in failures and trying situation? God loves His people, and to those who are called to be His children, God promised to be with them in all situations and in all times. And along with His love, He leads His people to a purposeful living that not only save them, also many others through His children. That’s the unmoved covenant of God. Today we’re so absorbed with the daily affairs and momentum of the world that we find the covenant of God though unchanging, but irrelevant. In our problems, we fail to make connections with the gospel we used and have always been hearing, thus feeling frustrated and helpless in the face of reality. Through the message today, may we find answers in the spiritual misconnections we often slip into and realise that in this perverted world where Satan’s work is ever so aggressive, we have to come together and pray all the more. In these, we’ll see how God is still safeguarding and leading us in our crisis, problems and routines through the clear and progressive convictions of the Holy Spirit. Because of the living and active leading of Holy Spirit, God will surely lead us to new breakthroughs, new encounters and new frontiers through our submissions. Be blessed, for Lord’s covenant still stand firm in all our conditions today!

Love is not a new topic for believers. Yet as we lead our lives, our definition of love, as God would have it, can be easily distorted, misunderstood, and instead of being a glorious tool for us to glorify God and love men, becomes experiences that is against our spirit. Let us reexamine what God means by His command to love.
Verses to Read: Jn 13:34-35, 1-5, 12-30
- Command: “Love one another”
- Promise: “Everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Our Flawed Love
- Love in our own capacity
- Our Perspectives
- Perspective of self
- Perspective of others
Love of Christ
- Humble Love
– The humble love of Jesus will propel us to love more & beyond like Him. - Love with a price
– If we choose to love but are wronged in return, Jesus will look even more real and beautiful in our love.
- Love with Authority
– Jesus has the authority to command us not because He is God, but because He is Love.
How to Love One Another?
- Be loved by God first
<1 Jn 4:19> We love because he first loved us.
<1 Jn 4:11> Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
<1 Jn 3:23> And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. - Love like Jesus Christ (acts of love)
– Give time
– Guard our speech - Intercession
– Love purposefully, not blindly
– Come out of the devil’s deceptions
– Indeed loved by God in the process
