God loves you but do you love God?

Hello! I am very glad that God has granted us another new day. Each new day is a demonstration of His Love and mercy for us. The mercies of God are new every morning. I am sure you know that God loves you, my question for you this day is do you love God? One of proofs of your love for God is to love those whom He loves. You know that God loves the Church of Jesus Christ, and that He also loves the lost people (who have not yet come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ). How your love for God is reflected in your attitude towards the church and unbelievers around you?

• Do you have the passion to see His church grow and to advance the values of the Kingdom of God through His Church
• Do you have the passion to see His lost sheep brought back to his fold?

 These are the questions from God to you today. Please, find the time to sincerely answer these questions today. 

“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.  And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd” (John 10:14-16).

 

“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.  He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.  He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not” ( John 21:15-18).

 It is impossible to say that you love God if you are doing nothing to build up His kingdom and to rescue the souls of people who are lost for eternity because of their ignorance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Remember, if you love God then you will love His Church, your fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord and the unbelievers in Christ because God loves them. Wishing you a successful day! Pastor Rufus Adjiboye
