“Whoever has my
commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be
loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
John 14:21
Who do you share
secrets with?
The cab driver on the
way home?
Probably not.
The tale-bearer at
work who cannot stop talking?
I don’t think so.
Most people share
their deepest secrets with those they love, those they trust.
Read the scripture
above again.
Do you see the link
between obedience, love and revelation?
Our love of God is
evidenced by our obedience to Him.
But Jesus also says
that He will show himself to the one who loves Him.
The Revelation of
Jesus Christ was given to the Apostle John.
John was also known
as the Beloved Apostle.
What a wonderful
confirmation of the verse we just read.
Jesus gave the
revelation of Himself to the Beloved disciple John.
He will share His
secrets with you too.
Do you pray and cry
out for a greater revelation of God?
Then grow in your
obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
As you do, you will
find that God, through the Holy Spirit, reveals more and more to you.
By walking in
obedience you reveal your love and God in turn reveals more of Himself.
All too often our
idea of increased revelation is increased attendance at seminars, conferences
and workshops.
Not that those things
are wrong but they are no substitute for simple obedience.
Here’s a secret – but
feel free to share it with everyone –
Do you want to know
Him more?
Then obey Him more!
