CHOOSING TO LOVE JESUS | Praying The Promises | 02-03-26Matthew 22:37 (KJV) "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."Love for Jesus is the foundation of all love. When your love for Jesus is divided, you limit the extent of your intimacy with Jesus. But when you love Him with all your heart, soul and mind, you establish a solid relationship with Jesus. This absolute, all-encompassing love for Jesus is a choice—a deliberate act of the will to make Him the centre of your existence.Choosing to love Jesus means making Him the reference point for every decision you make today. This level of devotion girds you against the distractions and temptations of the world. It is a call to remove every weight that could hinder your progress. By loving Him with all your mind, you bring your thoughts into subjection to Christ, ensuring that your mental energy is focused on His purpose rather than on fear or worry.Today, check the temperature of your love. Have you allowed the busy-ness of life to cool your affection for the Master? Recognize that you do not have to struggle on your own. Re-ignite your passion by acknowledging Him as your First Love. When your life is fuelled by a genuine love for Jesus, you walk in a momentum that causes you to overtake those who rely solely on natural strength.Hold on to this prophetic declaration from Prophet Isaiah Macwealth:I decree that the fire of first love is rekindled in your heart today! I declare that as you love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind, you will not be delayed, but you will walk in light, momentum, and supernatural acceleration in every area of your life.SECTION 2: PRAYING THE PROMISESStart-Up PrayerFather, I thank You for the grace to love You.
