Theme: Love's Template (part 3)

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

Sub Theme: God was Selfless

Anchor Text: John 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Jesus who was God made flesh told his disciples that the greatest show of love was to lay down one's life. This is an act of selflessness. Selfless is defined as having, exhibiting or motivated by no concern for oneself but for others.

If you claim to love a person you must be willing to be selfless towards that person. You must practice continuously the act of giving up and giving away. Giving up your own comfort in order to bring about the other person's comfort. Giving away whatever you can as possessions in order to cater for that person.

Loving selflessly will make you deny yourself certain things to meet up the needs of the other person. If a lot of folks understand this we won't claim to love someone as easily as we do nowadays because of the grave implication.

Now most people might feel that this could get one sided but the truth is if both parties love in the same manner, that feeling will be absent. That's why Jesus said to His disciples in John 13:35 'By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.' In other words it's this selfless kind of love that distinguishes us as His disciples. It is it speaking in tongues, or going to church or even studying the word. It is by selfless love will the the world recognize true disciples of Jesus. Those who pray for their enemies which is contrary to human nature and belief.

Many spouse claim to love their partners but can't die for them. Scriptures said we should love one another as Christ loved us. Christ loved us to the point of dying for us. Is our love that fierce and committed? How selfless is your love? Are you willing to go the extra mile of discomfort just for the sake of love?

May God give us the Grace to love like Jesus did in Jesus name.

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...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
