COMPELLED BY HIS LOVE TO BE A WITNESS

DECEMBER 12, 2025

For Christ’s love compels us, because

we are convinced that one died for all,

and therefore all died

(2 Corinthians 5:14 NIV).

The ensuing 15th verse of 2 Corinthians 5 is equally

very inspiring. It says, “And that he died for

all, that they which live should not henceforth live

unto themselves, but unto him which died for them,

and rose again.” This is about living a purposeful life,

compelled by Christ’s love and invested in soul-winning.

When the love of Christ takes hold of your heart, it

fuels your passion and dismantles fear. It motivates you

to preach the Gospel. Remember what the Scripture says:

Jesus died for all; that means every person you meet is

as valuable to God as Jesus is. This is the conviction of

an effective witness for Christ.

The Bible says, “... it behoved Christ to suffer, and

to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance

and remission of sins should be preached in his name

among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye

are witnesses of these things” (Luke 24:46-48). How

then could you be quiet? In your sphere of contact, be it

a hospital, prison, school, village, wherever; preach the

Gospel.

The glorious Gospel of the blessed Lord has been

committed to your trust (1 Timothy 1:11). This Gospel is

real and true; it’s the power of God unto salvation to those

who believe. Be compelled by His love to preach it. When

you’re motivated by His love, excuses dissolve. You won’t

need to be pushed; you’ll be propelled. Let that love compel

you today to speak to someone, pray for someone, and

lead someone into the Kingdom.

CONFESSION

I’m compelled by the love of Christ, and I see people

through His eyes and reach out with His compassion; I’m

bold, loving, and an effective soul winner. I’m sensitive

to the leading of the Spirit to minister the Gospel to the

weary and bring healing and health to the sick because

I’m marvellously helped of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
