--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Show God’s love (1)

27 MARCH 2019
‘God showed his great love…by sending Christ to die…while we were still sinners.’
Human love says, ‘I’ll love you as long as you meet my expectations, agree with my politics, attend my church, or fit into my social circle.’ God isn’t like that. He didn’t wait for us to become worthy before making the first move. ‘God showed his great love…by sending Christ to die…while we were still sinners.’ 

And when He did, He changed all the rules. Jesus said, ‘Now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you’ (John 13:34 NLT); ‘Love others as much as you love yourself’ (Matthew 22:39 CEV); ‘Love…without hoping to get anything back’ (Luke 6:35 NCV). Pastor Bill Hybels says: ‘When I set about the task of loving, I usually end up giving instead of receiving. Love inevitably costs me the three commodities most precious to me – my time, my energy, and my money…When you’re concerned about the well-being of others, you usually have to sacrifice.’ 
Another author adds: ‘For a while I was angry at love…it wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. It didn’t last. It wasn’t worth it. The deeper it went, the more it hurt. Love was irrational, complicated, elusive and unreliable. And I was done with it. Little by little the Lord healed my heart. My anger…began to fade…Now I…see it’s humanity that scars and strangles love…“Love comes from God” (1 John 4:7 NIV 2011 Edition), and it’s worth it, whatever the cost. 
No matter what damage has been done in the name of love, we’re incomplete without it.’
Deuteronomy 22-24, Mark 14:1-26
