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 sanctuary in Heaven

Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9 "According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9 God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven? Copy of the True Tabernacle The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also? They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5

True Riches

 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? (Luke 16:11) KJV New International Version So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? Would you want to be rich ? You may so know ,but truth is the majority of humankind would prefer to be rich then poor. And yet only a few people are rich while the rest are in the middle class or poor. Question? Which one would you rather be? 1. A farmer  2. A beggar I know the answer already. All of you would choose to be a farmer. Who in their right mind would want to be a beggar? A farmer provides to society and is a person who has resources; while a beggar, well, just begs and consumes. A farmer works hard to produce and provide, while a beggar waits for resources to be provided to him. One of the reasons rich people are few, is because it requires a lot of efforts to become rich. Supply chains While the beggar is waiti...

When God calls you. The fiery way to God

 Why is my life so hard ? Why are these things happening to me? I pray to God for healing but there's no healing. I pray to God for better finances but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles. I am on the verge of given up. I might as live life the way I want to and hope to die soon. Have these thoughts ever come to your mind ? These are thoughts many will encounter as they ascend the mountain of God. For many of us life began good. We had a great time in our youth, we believed in love, we believed that the future was bright, we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way harship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, broken aspiration sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly life becomes dark and hopeless. But somewhere along the way, we heard the voice of God. We hear someone preached, " come to Jesus and all will be well, come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart." And so we come to Jesus hoping tha...
