Theme: Love's Template

Anchor Text: 1 John 4:11
[11]Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.


A template is defined as the following:
1. A physical object whose shape is used as a guide to make other objects.
2. A generic model or pattern from which other objects are based or derived.

A template is basically the original shape whereby subsequent objects are made from. In most cases, there is always a template upon which every other copy from. The same can be said concerning 'love'.

Whatever does not resemble the original template is another object. Because every other new object is made in the shape of the original. For example we all recognize a rectangle, square or a triangle because whenever we draw or make these shapes they retain the original template. A triangle will always have three lines and three angles. Once an extra angle is added it is no longer a triangle.

God is Love and He showed us a template for love. Therefore when we replicate this love which He showed, it must be in the same mould as that which He showed. Anything which we call love that does not conform to His own template of what love is is something else.

John said that we ought to love one another since God loved us. The question is how did He love us? It is when we answer that question we can then assess our lives to find out if we love according to His set template.

So for the next few days by God's Grace, we'll consider how God loved us. Then we can then pattern our love after His template. It is my belief that if we assess ourselves properly with this discussion, some of us will discover that we have not truly been loving others but we've been practising something else.

Let's continue tomorrow by God's Grace...

Stay Graced...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo

Topic: Love Not The World Text: 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him . John the Apostle had a personal relationship with Jesus during His time here on Earth. The relationship was so deep that he was referred to as "the beloved" of Jesus. Therefore, he understood what it means to love Jesus and be loved by Jesus. In his epistle, he decides to speak a great deal about love. Love is one of the major themes of this apostle. So much so it earned him the nickname 'The Apostle of love" John submission is that anyone who loves the world does not have the love of the Father. Which is why he encouraged the believers no to love the world, nor the things in it. Sadly, many believers have not only fallen in love with the world, but have laid in bed with the world. This is the tragedy of the 21st century church. The Greek word which is translated as the "world

Theme: Isaiah 43:18-21 interpreted in relation to  Salvation. (Pt 11) Sub Theme: All will Honour God Anchor Text: Isaiah 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Based on our anchor text, we discover that the reason the beast of the field, dragons and the owls would honour God was because He gave waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Like we have established already that the Holy Spirit is the One who causes waters in the wilderness (salvation) and rivers to flow in the desert (Holy Spirit baptism). These creatures mentioned weren't physical rather they were spiritual entities. They were the demonic forces that try to oppose God's rule on Earth. And in order for God to establish His authority, He needs to make use of human entities as well. So Jesus gave His disciples a glimpse of how this is to work even though the Ho
