1Jn.4v7-8: Beloved, let us love one another, for love is God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God; for God is love.
Love is stronger than death (SOS 8v6-7). Love never fails (1Cor.13v8). Love is the most powerful Force in the Universe because God is Love, as you can see from our text scripture. God is Love, but we are encouraged to walk in Love as Believers. Your Love Walk is a very important part of your life, and this is why you need to pay attention to it. Aside from the fact that Walking in Love is good and that it shows you are truly a child of God, there are other reasons why you need to take your Love Walk more seriously. Some of these reasons are as follows:
-So that your faith won’t Fail. Your Faith works by Love, so anything that affects your love negatively will also affect your faith (Gal.5v6).
-So as to Win in the Spiritual Battles of Life. To be victorious in Spiritual Warfare, you need to do away with all manner of bitterness, malice, hatred, unforgiveness etc. (1Pet.2v1-2).
-Because Love is a Covering. It will cover you properly, especially where you can’t cover yourself (Pro.10v12).
So my dear reader, how would you describe your love walk? Are you doing well in your love Walk? No matter where you are in your Love Walk, it can be better and stronger. And this is what God wants for you. In fact, the stronger your love Walk, the Better your life will be. So what are things that can help you to Walk in Love, or How can you Walk in Love? This is what I will be sharing with you right now.
HOW TO WALK IN LOVE?
1. By Forgiving Yourself. Many people find it difficult to forgive themselves because of what they have done, but you need to let go of your past, if you really want to move forward and find healing and succour. So forgive yourself (1Tim.1v13; Philip.3v13-14).
2. By Forgiving those who have offended or hurt you. There is nothing that is as liberational as this. So let go of the pain and disappointment so that you can enter into your glorious destiny (Lk.23v34; Matt.6v12).
3. By asking for forgiveness from those you have offended. This is one of the most powerful things you can do in order to keep your peace. So don’t allow pride or ego to rob you of your peace (Lk.15v19-20).
4. By not repaying evil for evil but with Good. It takes Love to conquer Evil and Good to conquer Evil. So endeavour to always leverage on the power of Good. This is how to keep your love walk (Rom.12v21; 1Pet.3v9).
5. By being Intentional and also loving Unconditionally. This is how to practice walking in Love. So it’s time to be Deliberate in your Love.
6. By Being a Liberal Giver. This can be done by giving to those who don’t deserve it or merit it, especially those who can’t pay you back (Jn.3v16).
7. By imitating the Example of Jesus. We have no other greater example of walking in love as our Savior. So make him your Role Model and Perfect Example. You can never go wrong doing this (Rom.5v8; Jn.15v13).
My dear brothers and sisters, it’s time to take your love walk more seriously. I believe these examples will inspire you to walk in Love and make an indelible impact on your world.

By my Love Walk, I overcome the World and Satan and his hosts. Glory be to God, for I am walking in the fullness of his love.
