Do you love God ?

 The question is not whether God loves us, the cross clearly reveals the love of God for us. In no other religion on the planet do we find a god dying for his creatures. The gods of the nations requires sacrifices from their servants but they will not sacrifice themselves for their sakes. It is only in Jesus we see the true God revealed. The Lord Jesus who is one with God left heaven, left His glory with the Father and came down to us. He humbled Himself as a man and went through untold sufferings at our hands. Imagine that ! The Creator of the universe, the God of all the earth being spat on, mocked, beaten, having His beard pulled, His back ripped open and bleeding, nailed to a cruel cross.

The Lord Jesus Christ went through infinite humiliation and untold sufferings to make a way for me and you. Why did He do all this? Couldn't He wipe out the whole human race and created another race of beings from scratch? I mean wouldn't you do that if you had His power? Jesus did all that, went through all the sufferings we can putting on Him because of love. God is love, love suffers long and God loves us to death. And we know that God loves us not just because of what He says but by what He has done. Love is not just words, love is demonstrated by actions. God so love the world that He gave all He had, His only begotten Son to save us

So the question is not whether God loves us, but do you love Him? As human beings we are very deceptive. We deceive others constantly and we even deceive ourselves. We will claim to be things we are not and deny what we are. We claim to love what we hate and claim to hate what we like. We love sin and hate God. This is the natural condition of man. We love the evil and hate the good. We are selfish by nature and a selfish person doesn't love others, a selfish person doesn't understand what love means, what it means to love. A selfish person has what is called self centered love, meaning I only love you for what I can get from you. A selfish person doesn't love God, cannot love God unless the Holy Spirit does a work of transformation in the heart .

God hates sin, we love sin. God loves righteousness, we hate righteousness. Do you love God? Do you spend time with God daily in prayer ? Do you ask the Lord to cleans you of all unrighteousness? Do you ask the Lord to save you at all cost ? Do you ask the Lord to give you a new heart ? Do you ask the Lord to remove selfishness from your hearts ? Do you ask the Lord to help you love the good and hate the evil ? Do you ask the Lord to help you to hate sin and to love righteousness? Do you ask the Lord to remove all evil traits of character from you and to clothe you with Christ's beauty of character?

See friends, loving God is not just saying words, but actions. Can you imagine being in an abusive relationship with someone who is constantly beating you, spitting on you and cheating on you and yet claiming to love you? This is what we do when we commit sin. Sin is abusive to God. Sin is what put Jesus on the cross. Every time we willingly commit sin, it's equivalent to spitting on Christ's face , pulling His beard, beating His back open, piercing His hands with the nails of your evil deeds, putting a crown of thorn of your lust upon His head, and piercing His side with the spear of your pride. When we willingly sin we crucify the Son of God afresh and put Him to open shame.

When we love someone we will seek to protect their affection, their sensitivity. When I love God I will seek to protect His affections, I will seek to protect His sensitivity. God hates sin, sin hurts Him and if I love God I will daily pray Lord help me to love you more today than I did yesterday, help me to crucify the sins that crucified you. When I love God I will say Lord remove from me the impatient spirit, the angry spirit, the spirit of covetousness that makes me so ugly. Lord help me to be patient, meek and content. When I love God I will say Lord do whatever it takes to purify me of my sins and fill me with your love. When I love God I will pray Lord I love you, help me to keep your commandments .

John 15:15

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Constantine won the battle and started on the path that led him to become the sole ruler of the Roman empire. But something interesting happened before the battle, Constantine who was a pagan at the time claimed to have received a vision from God. On October 27 with the armies preparing for battle, Constantine claimed to had a vision which led him to fight under the protection of  the Christian God. According to the message of Eusebius of Ceasarea, around noon, Constantine saw a luminous cross in the sky and under it the inscription in Greek," in this sign thou shalt conquer. " Constantine also claimed to had a dream in which Christ commanded him to use the sign of the cross against his enemies. Constantine became the first emperor to convert to Christianity.  He ended the policy of persecuting Christians and in 313...

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...

Second Beast of Revelation Revealed part 1

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Revelation 13:11 This prophecy speaks about a nation rising at the end of time that will seem to represent Christ but will actually be against Him. In this small study, we will reveal that nation. Below are some symbolic terms in prophecy needed in order to follow this study. Beast : a political entity, a state or empire Earth : symbolizes a place that is not heavily populated, unlike the sea. The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."  Revelation 17:15 Horns : Horns represent kings and kingdoms, or governments. Daniel 8:21 Speak : is how a nation create laws, a nation speaks by its laws So now that we have these definitions, let us go and see which nation on earth that the Bible speaks of during the end of times. There is only one super power nation coming out from an...
