SAVE YOUR LOVE FOR HIM
Everyone loves to be loved. As the world celebrates this day of love St Valentine’s day, I have a message to drop in our hearts. It is a good thing to love and to be loved by a person, but there is a love that surpasses all love. We have different types of love agape, phillia and likes; but the agape type of love stands out. It is heavenly love, it is from above. The love is not of the world, cannot be seen in the world. It is divinely, heavenly, truly, unfathomable , immeasurable, undiluted, endless. The truth of the matter is that there is someone that loves us like this, he truly loves us and that is why he came to the world and died for our sins. He was wounded for our transgression, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his stripe we are healed. The name of that man is JESUS, he was sent by his father GOD to die for our sins. Hardly will you see a man die for his wife or vice versa, because the love is not true. It is rare to see someone die for another, but JESUS did for us all. Shouldn’t we love him back? Shouldn’t we save our love for him? The bible said if you love me, keep my commandment. If you love him, you will do what pleases him and not what pleases your flesh.
However, Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11 vs 2: I am anxious for you with the deep concern of GOD himself, anxious that your love should be for CHRIST alone; just as a pure maiden saves her love for one man only, for the one who will be her husband. We are to save her love for only CHRIST. You are to love your neighbors, friends, children, partners and likes, but save your love for CHRIST by doing his will; and obeying his commandments. His commandments are not old, they are not ancient. They should and must be kept. Many term GOD’s commandment as old since it is written in the old testament. It is not old, it never fades neither does it wither; it is new day by day, that is the word of GOD. Don’t love the world, everything is vanity upon vanity, it perishes one day. Save your love for CHRIST. You can’t have two masters, you either love mammon or the LORD. We are to save our love for one man only, who is JESUS he worth it. On a final note, love your neighbors as yourself, love all; but don’t forget a man that first first loved us, he is love us. Stay blessed. I love you all………………………
WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye. Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24: But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...
