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………………………
RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...
