Set Your Love Upon Jesus

Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name (Psalm 91:14).

One time as Jesus was in a house in Bethany, a woman came to Him with a flask containing costly oil. She poured it on His head (Matthew 26:6-7). This was a demonstration of her love for the Lord.

But those who were present considered it a great waste because the oil could have been sold for an amount, and the money given to the poor instead. Even Jesus’ disciples were indignant and asked her, “Why this waste?” (Matthew 26:8).

But Jesus defended her, saying, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me” (Matthew 26:10). And then He said, “…wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her” (Matthew 26:13).

Years have gone but what this woman did for Jesus is still told today as a memorial to her. Hallelujah!

When you get a revelation of how much Jesus loves you, you’ll set your love upon Him. And when you act out of love for Him, though others may see it as waste of time, energy or money, He’ll defend you and deliver you from your critics. He’ll also set you on high.

Your ministry will become powerful and life-changing. Your work will be highly esteemed among others. Your company will be highly successful. And it will not just be a job you have, but a position of influence to impact many lives.

So set your love upon Jesus. Make Him the love of your life today, and He’ll defend, deliver and set you on high.
