THE FATHER'S LOVE

Text: 1 John 3:1 

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not._ 

One of the schemes and strategies of the devil is to make you believe that you are not loved by God.The devil projects this thought into your heart and even shows you evidences. The devil shows you all the challenges and mountains around you, so you can believe that you are not loved by God. So many have been deceived and bought into this BIG LIES from the pit of hell. 

God's word says that the Father has Loved us with  an everlasting love. (Jer 31:3). You must believe the unconditional Love of God towards you today. Whatever the circumstances around you might be, I want to announce to you today that you are LOVED by God.

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us. God's Love  bestowed upon you can be proven by the following:

1. He sacrificed His only begotten Son for you.
It was not an easy thing for Jesus to be sacrificed on the cross. Our Lord Jesus Christ was seperated from His Father for the very first time in eternity just becasue of you. God's love did this for you. 
Whatever you are willing to sacrifice to get something, determines how much you love that thing. Jesus' sacrifice shows the magnitude of the Father's LOVE towards you. (John 3:16)

2. God became your Father. Before the advent of Jesus, God was not properly introduced to man as a Father. Jesus' coming made it possible for you to be adopted as God's son/daughter. (Romans 8:15, 1John 3:1, 2Cor 6:17-18).

God's love for you should not be measured by what  He is yet to do for you, what you have or do not have, but on what He has already done in Jesus Christ for YOU. Jesus' death is what you need to always look at as the major index of God's LOVE for you. 

1 John  3:16  
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

The only thing you must always do is to look at the cross and see God's son being sacrificed for you. Once you are able to keep this vision, it will be easier for you to accept God's LOVE. It is not so much of God not loving you, than you accepting His love.

Don't be deceived to think that God loves only those that are having things running for them. The only thing that confirms that God's LOVE has reached you is when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.

Today, if you have not embraced His Love by receiving Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour,  I want to encourage you to do that now without further delay. 

GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH, JUST RECEIVE HIS LOVE.

Bible reading: Luke 11:15-24

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
