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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
