I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

We were created by an all powerful, all mighty, all possible God who is perfect in all his ways. He created us in his own image as we all know. After molding man, God saw that the body he had made in his likeness could not move. So God breathed into man his spirit. This means each and every person on earth has the Spirit of the highest God in him. So why fret over an obstacle you face? Why be discouraged to try and acquire the job you desire? Why listen to what people say about not being able to achieve anything in life.

Brethren, God made you. In the book of Genesis we learn that the world was created with everything in it before God created man. Why? Take this scenario, a husbands finds out his wife is about to give birth. What does the husband do? He makes sure the wife relaxes, gives her everything she needs and will need, and even go to the extent of surprising her may be he would by a car for her. God did the same. He created the earth with everything in it just for YOU! (Genesis 1: 26).

After man was created, the devil, popularly known as Lucifer or Satan tempted man and man fell. After the fall of man, it became very hard for man to please God but the Bible tells us that God loves this world that included you and me so much that he sent his only begotten son to come and die for our sins. If you had a son and loved him so much would you give him up for a sacrifice? God’s love is the only thing that binds us to him. Though we have sinned against Him, he sent his son to die for us. So why still grieve over something that has already been taken away. Why bother so much about the sin you committed just the other night? Why give in to troubles when the Bible makes us understand in Romans 8:1, there is therefore now no condemnation to those who have been crucified with Christ who walk not after the flesh but the Spirit. Again 1Corinthians 6:20 says, for we have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your Spirit, which are God’s. Also, 1Peter 1:18-19 says, forasmuch as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver or gold, from your vain conversation from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ. Beloved brethren wipe your tears and wear a smile forever before it is too late. For there are people in hell who never knew their sins were bought till they got to hell to realize it. Ah! Had I known on earth I would have lived right. This is what you may end up saying. The time is near. This is a time for all Christians including the ones who backslid to get to your feet and stand for God.

Lastly, 1Peter 2:9 says for we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation and a peculiar people who have been brought out of darkness into the marvelous light to show forth praises to Him who brought us out of darkness. Wherever you go, whatever you do or say let people know that yes! You are truly a son or daughter of God. Don’t fret! If people listen to worldly music and ask of your opinion of a certain song, be bold and say my friend what you are listening to isn’t right. It does not please God! Don’t listen to it! And friend as the word makes me understand that we should set our affections to things above for that is whence the pleasures come from. NO! Friend NO! Remember we walk not after the flesh (world) but after the Spirit through which we gain SALVATION and a righteous living.

Friend, if you are a child of God that means you are HOT for God and not cold. Revelation 3:16 says, so then because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I the Lord will spit you out of my mouth! Friend please change your ways. If don’t believe me just taste and you shall see that the LORD is good! (Psalm 34:8)
