Philippians 2:8 (KJV)

"And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."

There is a book on the New York Times bestsellers list since it was first published in 2007. It introduced the idea that people express love to their significant others the way they want to receive love. For example, a person's "love language" may be physical affection. So, according to the book's writers, that person's tendency would be to express love through physical affection because that is the way they desire to receive expressions of love.

Though many believe this was a novel concept, it was inspired by God, for He Himself expresses love the way He desired to be loved. Our scripture for today tells us precisely what His love language is. It says that Jesus, God in the flesh, became obedient, even to the death of the cross. Obedience is God's love language.

Whilst it is good to express your love and adoration to God verbally, you need to understand that God is a Spirit, and spirits do not respond to affection. So, when you really want to tell God how much you love Him, do it through your obedience. Do what He tells you to do when He tells you to do it. That is what He sees and receives as love.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

Deep is calling unto deep, and my spirit is responding, in the name of Jesus!
