The Love-Compelled Christian

The things you do with a heart of love are the things which have value in the sight of God. God loved us so much that He was compelled to send Jesus as a sacrifice to make us His own. Throughout Jesus’ ministry on earth, He ministered to the sick and preached with so much compassion. Now, He has put us on the scene with the mandate to take the Gospel to every city on earth. The question is this: are we compelled to fulfill this obligation with a ‘love-heart’?

As a Christian, why do you preach? Do you really care about lost souls? Can you look into the cities around you and see the sufferings in their faces, and hear their souls cry out for salvation? Preach the gospel because you are compelled by His love! When you think about what He did for you, you are compelled; you cannot but preach it. Paul said, "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel" (1 Corinthians 9:16). From the verse of scripture, Paul did not allow anything stop him from soul winning. You are not yet a true soul winner until love compels you to bend your knees in intercession and become strategic in winning your world for God.

You cannot save lives if you are not compassionate about it. You can be good and help people all over, that is nothing to God if you were not compelled by love. He is only impressed by the things we do with a passionate heart. ‘A love-heart’ is what makes you a true soul winner, bearing meaningful results for the Kingdom of God.
