An infinite sacrifice!

 We spoke about love ❤, true love being lacking in our world 🌍 because we don't understand what it means to love. We are selfish in our "love". In our so called love for others, we really put ourselves first. I will only love you if you love me first, I will only sacrifice for you if you sacrifice for me. But today we want to look at real love, what is real love about ❤🤔? In order to understand real love, we must look at the One who is love, the Lord Jesus Christ and learn from Him. Let us behold Christ today and let us ask Him for the power to be like Him in this life

Let us behold Christ on His throne 🤴🏾 as He sees Adam and Eve have fallen into sin and are facing eternal death 💀. Let us behold Christ as He offers to take their place, as He offers to empty Himself of His Divine power, to come to the earth as a man, a man of sorrow, tempted man and to suffer the punishment that I deserve, that you deserve. Let us behold Christ,  the eternal Son of God as He become a babe 🤱🏾 in the hands of His creature ,Mary. Let us behold Christ as a child being under the care of human parents. Let us behold Christ,  the Son of the eternal, as He is being taught by His human creatures to speak, to learn and to do different things. What a sacrifice, what humility, what love!

Let us behold Christ as He faces temptation from Satan 😈, a being He created Holy but who rebelled against Him. Let us behold Christ as He is starving to death in the wilderness. The Creator of all things suffering from want of food and being tempted. Let us behold Christ as He goes around healing the sick, mending the brokenhearted, feeding the hungry, going around doing good. Let us behold Christ as the people whom He came to save accuse Him of having a demon, persecute and harass Him. Let us behold Christ having to escape from one place to another in order to continue doing good . Let us behold Christ, what a sacrifice, what love !

Let us behold Christ in the garden of Gethsemane, as He facing the supreme test 😥. Will He lay down His life to save sinful, wicked, selfish, ungrateful and foolish humanity?  And what life will He lay down 🤔? Eternal life. He was facing the laying down of a life of eternal bliss, the love of The Father, the adoration of the angels and other worlds, the life of being God . No one will ever be asked to do such sacrifice and what did Christ choose ? He chose to lay down His life for me and you, sinners, ungrateful and foolish sinners. Christ basically say if I have to die to save them, then i will die. I love them so much that I would rather not exist forever so that they may live 😮

I will take their death, eternal death so that they may have my life. What love ❤! Amazing love ❤! Jesus gave up all for us and all He ask us is to give up the evil things that are destroying us. You cannot love your sins more than Jesus loved the Father. You cannot love your alcohol, your movies, your anger, your lust more than Jesus loved the Father and yet Jesus was willing to be separated from the Father,  from eternal bliss to save you, to save me. This is love, this is sacrifice. To love is to sacrifice. If you love Christ you will sacrifice all that is necessary to be with Him. To love others is to sacrifice for their wellbeing. The One who loves most will sacrifice most.

Let us then friends behold Christ, behold His love, His sacrifice and let us ask God to do all to make us like Jesus. Lord, help me to love like Jesus, help me to live like Jesus. No love without sacrifice, for to love is to sacrifice ❤💔🙏🏾

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 

John 15:13

The idolatry of marriage: a recipe for disaster

 People are suffering, loneliness is rampant in the land. Many people in the world look to marriage as a savior, an institution that will rescue them from their loneliness. They think finally i will have someone I can call mine, someone who will love me with all their hearts until death do us apart 🤗. But the increasing divorce rates tell a different story. A story of marriage being difficult, a story of many married people being miserable , lonely , bitter and see divorce as a viable option to escape the misery they find themselves in. A story of many preferring to live together instead of getting married.  Marriage has become a scary thing in the land. Marriage for many has become synonymous with losing half your wealth and your children. But why has marriage become so destructive to many ? Why has something as beautiful as marriage become such a terror to many 🤔? It is because marriage has become an idol to many. Marriage has become a god to many in the church and in the world. Sa

The difficulties of love

 Love is a beautiful thing. Love makes life worth living. Love is best thing in the universe because God is love 😍. We all want love, we all want to be loved and many of us want someone to love. Love is very precious indeed. We sing about love, we write about it and we make movies about it. And yet love is the most difficult thing to find in this earth. It is easier to find diamonds and gold than to find true love. Easier maybe to find the lost city of Atlantis than to find genuine love. Many people have simply given up on love. They see the idea of loving and having someone to love them as fables for unwise and inexperienced children. Love is rare indeed. Why is it so hard to love or find love 🤔? The easiest answer is because we are imperfect. Being imperfect means we are broken, unable to perform the function we were made to do. Come with me on a journey of the difficulties of love. Imagine you meet someone, a man, a woman, the " love of your life." The woman is beautiful

What do you bring to the table ?

 Man and woman are both made in the image of God.  Man and woman are both valuable and equal in worth but are not the same.I repeat, man and woman are not the same. There is an attempt in our culture to make man and woman the same, it's nothing but a Satanic assault to destroy the beauty of God's creation . Man and woman are different for a reason. Each reveal different qualities of the Godhead. When a man and woman come together in the way of God, real beauty will be revealed. Man and woman offer different things in a relationship. What do you bring to the table 🤔?  Is the question many are asking when it comes to choosing a spouse . According to the Bible the man is to provide for the woman and the woman is to be a help meet to the man. A help meet is a perfect match for someone. The woman is to match her husband,  completing him, making him stronger, being strong where he is weak . The man is supposed to provide financially, security,  stability. The man is to provid
