Sacrifice as a measure of love!

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Greetings to you, dear friends! I am grateful to God for another opportunity to share with you a word of wisdom from the Lord. God has put on my heart to talk about sacrifice as a measure of love.Where love goes, sacrifice follows. Thus, the depth of my love can be measured by my readiness to sacrifice. Many people say that they love God, but we can’t forget that our love is not measured by our confession alone. Our love is measured by the sacrifices we make!God Himself is the standard of love; He is perfect Love. That is why we should learn from Him what real love is. We are born into this world as complete egoists and self-seekers. Every sin starts with selfishness which says, „I only do what I like, what I want, and what I prefer! And I don’t do what I don’t like, what I don’t want, and what I don’t prefer!”True picture of a worldly person is as follows: he lives for himself and for his comfort; he only seeks those things that are profitable and pleasant to him; his thoughts are selfish and revolve around him only.But when God meets such a person and he opens his heart for Jesus Christ, then things start changing for him and in him. God’s love fills the heart of a newly reborn person. God is love, and by accepting Christ into his heart, he allows God’s love to find place and abide in him. If God is love – and we find confirmation of this truth in the Bible, – then we need to look at Him as our example and learn how true love behaves.
«For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life» (John, 3: 16)
God so loved the world that sacrificed what was His most precious possession – His only begotten Son. God sacrificed Jesus so that sin would not rule over us, so that we would not spend eternity in hell and have hope the future.How can we learn and prove that God loves us? We read about it in the Bible, but is God’s love only expressed in words? We read that God loves us, and it is the most sure prophetic message that He communicates to you every day when you come into His presence. We know that God loves us not only from His word, but also from the fact that He sacrificed His best for our sake.
 «But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us» (Romans, 5: 8).
Notice the phrase «God demonstrates His own love toward us». God’s love is the love that has been proved by His sacrifice.
«But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us» (Romans, 5: 8).
So, sacrifice is the proof and measure of our love! Every one of us needs this love, because it heals us and gives us courage and boldness we need.We will continue tomorrow! God bless you!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    You are reading the Word of God and you hear God’s voice, and the Holy Spirit speaks to you. God has a plan for us. If we live in this plan, we have a life in abundance. But if we are not in God’s plan, we cannot enjoy this life. Outside of God’s plan there is no real life. We want to live in God’s plan, but God must reveal this plan to people through the Word of God and Holy Spirit.

    God has created us in His image and likeness, and He made us to be His children and He has separated us for Himself. God brought us into His wonderful light, into His Kingdom – through Jesus Christ! God has created us in Christ Jesus for good works, which He has ordained for us to do! This is alone is enough to give us a reason to be greatful to God. None of us deserve all these benefits, but God – because of His great love for us – has done all of these things for us in Jesus Christ. And God gave every one of us gifts and talents, so that we could expand His Kingdom and serve Him with His talents. God promises to bless us abundantly as we work and serve in His Kingdom.

  • You have already been given that what you need to start your supernatural ministry

    When you first begin, don’t expect something big. Start doing something small that you are able to do and do it with consistency and responsibility and do it with all of your heart. Develop the gifts and talents that you have noticed in yourself, using them for the good of the people and the Kingdom of God. As you do it God will allow you to enter larger ministry. You will be noticed not because you’re sitting around doing nothing, but because you are doing your best. That is how your gift makes room for you.“A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great man” (Proverbs, 18: 16).

    If we listen to the conviction of the Holy Spirit that is communicated through the people God sends to us to correct us and repent of our sins, then He stops all the judgments. But, if we continue in our stubbornness and resist Him, God allows more trouble in our lives in order to show us that there are spiritual problems in us that we need to resolve. If after that we still resist Him and refuse to humble ourselves before Him, then He increases penalties. God does that because He loves us and does not want any of His children to perish.
