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

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
