TOPIC : ITS TIME FOR A NEW BEGINNING
LOVE IS A CHOICE.
TEXT JOHN 10 :17-18
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
Dearly beloved, love is a choice. It is initially a conscious decision but when practiced over a long period of time, it becomes a lifestyle.
This kind of love is called God's kind of love.
This kind of love is not self-serving or self-seeking. This is the kind of love that lays down all for the good of another.
It is called agape.
We can never conquer self by focusing on self. The only way to overcome self is to become selfless.
Whenever God delivers anyone from the kingdom of darkness to that of light, the Holy spirit begins a process of delivering the person from selfishness, to selflessness.
If the person permits Him to achieve this in his life, he becomes a city that is set upon the hills that cannot be hid.
God sees each one of us as a city but it is only those who can overcome self that will be appointed cities to rule in the world to come.
When your life become overwhelmed with God's love, you would emit love unconsciously and you will become a blessing to your world.
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
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
