Psalm 84:11(For the LORD God is a sun
and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold
from them that walk uprightly). 1 Corinthians 2:9(But as it is written,
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God hath prepared for them that loved him).
Any relationship that is void of love
cannot stand the test of time, both parties have to love and care for each other.
People are careful not to hurt their lover and many will go the extra mile to
make their lover comfortable and give them the best gift in the whole world.
When both parties love each other, which is very rare, their life becomes very
easy and stress free. A stress free life is what God has designed for us
because of His love for us. The picture painted to us, describing what the
Garden of Eden looks like should give us the example of God’s love for us from
the beginning. People are more attracted to their children that look and behave
like them in a good way. God loves us so much that He created us in His own
image and before He created man He has already made everything that man needs
to live a comfortable life. And when man betrayed Him; He was still moved to
cover man’s shame by making a cloth for them out of animal skin. He did not
give up on man and He looked for a way to get His lover back by sacrificing
part of Himself, His only begotten son (John 3:16). Love without
sacrifice is not love; one sided love is not love; love is symbiotic in nature
not parasitic. A parasitic love is selfish love and does not qualify to be
called love. Love is reciprocal, Love looks for a way to make each other
comfortable; love does not skim against itself; when your enemy is angry with
you he will go after what you love most in order to hurt you. Satan hates
humanity because of the love of God toward us and he will do anything to
destroy humans in order to hurt God’s feelings. You can only say that someone
betrays you only when you are in a trusted relationship with the person. God
felt betrayed by Adam and Eve because He trusted them and He was in love with
them. His Love for them died and the spirit of God left them. So, we can
rightly say that Love is a spirit; it is a very strong emotion. Love reconciles
us with God and Jesus Christ is the symbol of Love; for him to agree to come to
this world and suffer because of us, shows how much he loved the Father and us.
He felt the emotional trauma that God the Father was in when He lost His lover
and He agreed to come and get us back to Him. 1 John 4:10(Herein is love,
not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the
propitiation for sins). He describes his relationship with the Father
as a love relationship. John 15:9(As the Father hath loved me, so have I
loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall
abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his
love). Now that Jesus Christ has reconciled with God, the only way to
maintain our relationship with Him is love. Matthew 22:36 (Master which
is the greatest commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind).
Love is the number one requirement in building our relationship with God;
Love is the rock of the foundation in which our relationship is built upon (1
Corinthian 10:4, Luke 6:47-48). Love is the root in which every other
requirement we need to build our relationship with God grows upon (John
15:1-2). Jesus Christ is love and when you have him in you; your
relationship with God will stand the test of time. The wind will definitely
blow but nothing will happen to your relationship with Him. Joseph said that he
can’t do this evil and sin against God (Genesis 39:9); he did not
consider sleeping with his master wife sin against him but he considers it as a
sin against God. That is how the battle of life is being won because no human
being is perfect if you want to consider human, you will be the most sinful man
and woman on earth because you will see a thousand reason why you should do
evil against them but when you see God in every human you will win the battle
against Satan. God said that he will not withhold anything from his lover and
that eye has not seen nor ear have heard the things which He has prepared for
his lover. The condition is that we have to love Him back in order to receive
the gift. The bible says we loved Him because He first loves us (1 John 4:19).
People reveal secrets to their lover and not hide anything from them, much more
our God who loved us so much; That’s why He always reveals secrets to Joseph
and Daniel. Friends, if you want God to be revealing things to you, the
requirement is Love. Jesus Christ is Love and if you have him in your life you
will not find it difficult to love and meet the requirement for building a
relationship with God. God’s love for you is unquestionable that’s why you are
alive today to read this message but you need to demonstrate your love for him
by accepting His sacrifice Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior and begin your
journey with Him.
Lord
Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me
my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan
to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I
know I am Born Again, Amen.
