DRIVING FORCE

"For the love of Christ controls and compels us, because we have concluded this, that One died for all, therefore all died; and He died for all, so that all those who live would no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and was raised for their sake". 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 AMP 

What compels you to do what you do? What compels you to want to live a successful life? What compels you to want to be rich or be successful? As a Christian, what can you do in order to have total Commitment to God? 

Our motivation to serve God should be motivated by the love that He has spread abroad in our hearts. Paul did not desire to know anything outside of Jesus and Him crucified (1 Corinthians 2:2), that was his motivation. He desired nothing else, his actions and desires were transparent to those around him. When people looked at Paul they could readily see that only Jesus mattered. There was no hidden agenda. There were no hidden programs, there were no hidden interests. Only Jesus, and Him crucified. He said necessity is laid upon me, woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel (1 Corinthians 9:16). 

It is your motivation level that will determine & fuel your effectiveness and productivity. Be compelled by the Love of God and stay inspired. Proper motivation will prevent burnout and laziness.
