The Overwhelming, never ending, reckless love of God

 

When we love others we give, we don't give only materials things, but we give our time, our service, sometimes our vulnerability. I am yet to see anyone who truly loves and didn't give. We give because love gives, likewise when we fall in love with God we give up old habits that don’t please God, we give Him our lives and our hearts completely. God loves us,


and with His love He gives everything, He is not cautious about His giving, He doesn’t think 'what if they never appreciate it,' 'what if they don’t realise how much I love them' what if they never give their lives to me' or 'what if they take me for granted' , yet He gives us His love so extravagantly , so overwhelmingly and so recklessly.

God gave His only begotten son- God didn’t spare His only begotten son whom he loved so much. He sent him to die a gruesome death just because he loves us so much, and he wanted to redeem us back to himself.

He gave us life: God gave man His breadth and breathed life into man.

He gave us His Holy Spirit- God wanted us to have the fullness of Him here on earth, so he gave us His Holy Spirit.

He gave us the Word

He gave us Victory

He gave us Blessings (Abraham’s blessing)

He gave us Eternal life

He gave us Salvation

He gives us Wisdom

He gives us Power to withstand the enemy

He gives us Strength to keep pushing to the end

He gives us Gifts and talents that we may fulfil our divine purpose.

He gives us Honor

He gives us Peace

He gives us Soundness of mind

He gives us His Mercy

He forgives us our Sins

He gives us Corrections when we are wrong

He gives us Joy

He gives us Boldness and courage

He gives us Knowledge

He gives us Fellowship with himself and others

He gives us Protection

He has given us the Kingdom of heaven

He gives us Edification

He gives us LOVE

God is the source of ALL the good in the world because every good and perfect gift is from above coming down from the Father.  James 1:17

God will never leave us or forsake us.

'So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture: They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.'Romans 8:31‭-‬39 MSG

DOING GOOD...

Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Jesus Christ is still in the business of doing good and healing all who are oppressed by the devil.   Many people consider being sick as being bed ridden on the hospital bed or being weak in the body and not being able to function well or being mentally sick like being visibly mad. The truth is many are not visibly physically sick or visibly mentally sick but are sick because the devil has oppressed them so much they don’t even know how sick they are, and Jesus came to heal all those who are oppressed by the devil and is still doing so. John 10:10 A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of ( MSG). The devil comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy, so the devil is on a mission he has a clear pla...

The Yoke of the Ox...

The oxford dictionary describes a yoke as a wooden crosspiece that is fastened over the necks of two animals and attached to the plough or cart they are to pull. It is used to join two oxen together so that there can be unity in what they are doing and they get the job done faster. The yoke is usually custom made and carved to fit the shape of the neck of the ox. When a farmer wants to train a younger ox, he does it with an older ox who understands what to do and is experienced, because the older ox has been allowed to grow to full maturity, so it is the best partner to be yoked with, it is reliable and it will teach the younger one how to pull, how to settle down under the yoke and how to be efficient. The younger ox is just supposed to submit to it and follow the older ox’s leading, but sometimes it is half in and half out of the yoke and not completely under it because it doesn’t want to be yoked (that is to submit and follow the older ox’s leading) and this leads to huge scars ...

HOLINESS

HOLINESS According to the Strong’s exhaustive concordance Holy is mentioned in the bible 611times. The first place Holy is mentioned is in Exodus 3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground . God called the place Holy because God was there, does this mean that any place God is should be regarded as holy? I believe so. Leviticus 10:1 Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the Lord , which He had not commanded them. 2  So fire went out from the Lord and devoured them, and they died before the Lord . 3  And Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord spoke, saying: ‘By those who come near Me, I must be regarded as holy;And before all the people I must be glorified.’” Nadab and Abihu offered profane fire in the presence of God, and God killed them. It is a very dangerous thing to behave anyhow ...
