TOPIC : ITS TIME FOR A NEW BEGINNING
THE FORCE OF LOVE .
TEXT ISAIAH 53:7-8
[7]He was oppressed, [yet when] He was afflicted, He was submissive and opened not His mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth.
[8]By oppression and judgment He was taken away; and as for His generation, who among them considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living [stricken to His death] for the transgression of my [Isaiah's] people, to whom the stroke was due?
Love is all about sacrifice, it about giving, giving and not expecting anything in return.
We often give in expectation of something but in love the recipient may not even be in a position to reciprocate.
When you pay your child's school fees, you are happy that you were able to do it, you do not expect anything for what you have done. She may even be too small to be able to say thank you.
Such was our Lord's love for us, that He layed down His life for us.
He was not compelled , it was an expression of love.
It is called agape.
You are expected to go and do the same for the dying world.
Tell somebody about Jesus and save a soul.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
