The Greatest Love


Love was one of the most powerful weapons God used in redeeming Mankind back to himself; and that weapon is still very much active today. 


The Bible says in John 3 vs 16;

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his ONLY begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.



Jesus was the only Son God ever had, yet, God was willing to sacrifice Him for the salvation of the world. 


God gave Jesus out into the cold hands of death just because of you and I and in doing this, put both Heaven and Earth in Great danger. 


Great danger? 


Yes! Because the fate of both Heaven and earth depended on whether Jesus would fulfil or fail in His mission. 


Jesus faced several temptations, yet, He overcame them all. He refused to be distracted in His mission to save mankind. Scriptures tell us that He prayed with so much fervency – not for Himself, but for you and I. (Hebrews 5 vs 7) 


He had the power to disappear before even when the soldiers came to arrest Him at Gethsemane.


But He said, “Not my will Lord, but thy will be done”. 


His great love for us made Him willing to sacrifice His freedom and dignity.





He even bore our curse;

Galatians 3:13 – “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:”



Folks, God’s display of love on calvary remains the highest display of love for eternity.

St. John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”





Even when we fall, He picks us up and wipe the stains of sin and guilt away with His Blood.


This is the incomprehensible love of Christ – the love that passes understanding.




If you ever feel like anyone hates you, remember that two thousand years ago, a Divine Being named ‘Jesus’ made the greatest love sacrifice on the cross.

Are you feeling hopeless or in despair? Look unto the cross and be strengthened.


If you ever feel like an outcast, Remember you have been adopted by God through Christ and you are now a part of God’s Household {Ephesians 2:12-13}

Rejoice and bask in the love of Christ! 😊😊

Live Love

The supreme revelation of God was unveiled to us in 1 John 4:8:
“…. God is love”.


Unfortunately, the word, ‘Love’ is a word which has been wrongly defined, misused and misinterpreted by people.



Love, to the fallen man, is a feeling – a good feeling one has for another. This mediocre definition is a contributing factor to the numerous divorces found in American homes.



But for the Saint, love is not a mere feeling; neither is it an idea. For the Saint, Love is a nature, heart and life of benevolence, charity and kindness to humanity.


Adamic love is conditional. But Agape love – the love we are commanded to show to man – is unconditional.



Are you living this life of Love?


When your heart is lain bare before several eyes, what will be seen? Will it be a heart clothed with divine love, or a heart hardened with hate?


The Love of Christ was what made Him to leave the pleasures of Heaven to partake in man’s humanity, for our liberation.



Romans 5:8: “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” {NLT}


God expressed His love for us through the sacrifice of His beloved Son.


By that act, God created a precedent, a standard and an ordinance, to govern Christian living.



It is no secret that this is a tough season for nations around the world.

Even the world’s global power, USA, is experiencing a steady decline in its national economic strength.

Millions around the world are dying daily. Hope is fading away, like the setting of the sun.


Music therapy is no longer working. Motivational speeches are no longer antidepressants. Who shall the world turn to?



Jesus answered this question when He said, ‘We are the light of the world’.
The Church is God’s light meant to illuminate the darkened hearts and hopeless lives of people.



We do this by showing and expressing the Love of Christ to them.



This Love must be lived, not just in the Church, but even outside the Church. It must be felt by our neighbours and friends.



A religious scholar once posed this question to Jesus:



“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?”


Jesus answered him, “‘Love the Lord your God with every passion of your heart, with all the energy of your being, and with every thought that is within you.’ {TPT}



This is the great and supreme commandment. And the second is like it in importance: ‘You must love your friend in the same way you love yourself.’ Contained within these commandments to love you will find all the meaning of the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 23:36-40 {TPT}


The greatest commandment that Christ gave the church is to love God and to love humanity.


Some believers are full of so much hate that they actually desire the eternal destruction of those who hate them; whereas, God’s Word tells us that He does not want anyone to perish.



Now, this is the goal: to live in harmony with one another and demonstrate affectionate love, sympathy, and kindness toward other believers. Let humility describe who you are as you dearly love one another.” 1 Peter 3:8.


The core value of the Church is Love. Every other value and principle is built upon it.



The same way Christ expressed the love of The Father to man, is the same way The Church, must express and exemplify Agape love to humanity.






Beloved children, our love can’t be an abstract theory we only talk about, but a way of life demonstrated through our loving deeds. We know that the truth lives within us because we demonstrate love in action, which will reassure our hearts in his presence.” 1 John 3:17.


Real love is an action. Real Love is overwhelming; it is a tangible phenomenon.


Love is more of a verb than a noun.

Love is seen by actions and not by mere words. Real love will push you to the undeveloped nations of Africa to provide spiritual, emotional and financial edification to humanity.

It will cause you to give to the poor and needy. When there is true love in one, one’s smile becomes a healing balm to the wounded.


Manifest God’s Love today!

The American Civil War 1: The Satanic War against Families



Satan is after families and marriages in America!


There is no other way to present the truth than this. He is intent on destroying marriages and family values in America.


He is doing this because of his hatred for the institution created by God. In Genesis 2 and 3, God instituted the first marriage and set the order for how the marriage institution should be.


The Bible specifically states that God made marriage to be between, ‘Man and Woman’.


Genesis 2:24: “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”


A man is to cleave to his wife – a woman, and not his boyfriend. The Bible was very clear in its stance on marriage.


But Satan, knowing that the strength of every great country is in its family and communal values, is destroying homes and marriages in America today.



THE HOMOSEXUAL MOVEMENT

Although homosexuality began in the Bible days (Romans 1:26-28), it wasn’t until the 19th and 20th century that the movement was awakened in America.

History shows us that homosexuality wasn’t originally in America’s fundamental rights.


But slowly, the homosexual movement crept into the United States. Men began to lust after men, girls began to lust after girls. This was never natural. It was the introduction of a demonic civilization.


We termed it civilization and freedom movement, unknown to us that this was a freedom promoted by Satan to cause America to turn against God.



The essence of the whole homosexual movement in America was/is to cripple families and family values, to reduce the sacredness and worth of marriage.



How will a mother, a morally upright mother be happy when her daughter falls in love with another girl.


What kind of child does a gay couple want to raise? What values do they want to give to the child? The healthy environment for a child to grow up is the presence of his mother and father; not two male sexual perverts.


But Satan is influencing the hearts of those in political power to support this big evil, so that the American family institution will collapse.


ABORTION

What is the logic in supporting the killing of babies and condemning the murder of adults?


Why is the killing of babies considered women right whilst the killing of adults is considered as a crime?

Are babies less human than adults?


Why is the American government in support of this great evil?


Once again, the Satanic agenda is shown. Scriptures tell us that ‘children are a heritage of God’. Every child is a gift of God.

If they’re gifts from God, then every baby from foetus stage should be valued and well nurtured.

But Satan is against this! Thus, he is taking advantage of people’s negative inclinations and using it to promote this demonic cause called Abortion.


Even irrational animals do not kill their babies, let alone humans. Abortion makes women worse than animals.

If the Church does not fight against this both in prayers and radical evangelism, it will increase fornication sporadically.

Girls will feel comfortable living promiscuously, because of the evil assurance that they can always have an abortion peradventure they get an unwanted pregnancy.


Folks, if you are a parent, you cannot afford to live carelessly this period. You must cling to your family, your kids, your spouse. Satan is after them, especially if you are a believer.



The tension between Kirk Franklin and his son is only a minute representation of the conflict in thousands of American homes presently.


Sons are turning against their parents. Young Girls are learning how to go on dates without their parent’s awareness.


What should believers do in times like this?

1. Attention and Affection

Now is the time to start giving attention to your kids and your spouse. Do not give attention that will make them on edge in your presence.

Let your presence be full of love, peace and understanding. Let your children know that you care. Let your spouse know that you care.

Do not get overly engrossed in your business or daily endeavors that you ignore the welfare of your family.

Make them your priority. Some people, especially men, make the excuse that they can’t express affection.

Well, if you cannot express affection, then do not get a family. If you can’t kiss your wife and tell her you love her, why did you marry her in the first place? Let go of your pride and open your heart to your family.


2. Establish core family values in your Home


The importance of having daily family devotion can never be overemphasised.

No matter how busy your schedule is, as a parent, every morning and/or evening, spend at least twenty minutes counselling your family, especially your kids.

Teach them the counsel of the Lord. We might not be able to eradicate homosexuality from the world, but we can ensure it doesn’t come into our kids.

We might not be able to end immorality in the world, but we can remove it from the lives of our kids.

Therefore, instead of bothering about what’s happening in the world, invest more time in having counselling sessions with your children.


Set practical examples for them. Be who you want your children to be. Let your family be known for godly values. Be a mentor to your children.

If you do not teach them the right things, society will teach them the wrong things. Parents must wake up to their responsibilities.

Watch out for Part 2 of this series.
