God\u2019s mercy has been renewed for every one of us this morning. God continues to pour out on us His mercies and His abundance! His love towards us is unending. There is nothing and no-one that can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. But God expects us to also love Him in return. The Bible says:\r\n<h6>\u00abAnd you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment\u00bb\u00a0(Mark, 12:30).<\/h6>\r\nThe one who loves always desires to do something for the object of his love; he always seeks ways to serve and to give the best of himself. It is possible to give without loving; it is possible to serve without loving; but it is impossible to love and not give yourself by serving. Because of His great love towards us God gave the biggest treasure \u2013 His only Son Jesus Christ. What are we ready to give to God, Who loves us so dearly? How strong is our love towards Him?\r\n\r\nGod is calling us to minister to Him and to our loved ones. In order for us to do that He has given us certain talents. God is telling us to use them and spread His Kingdom in the process of doing that.\r\n<h6>\u00abSo he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, \u2018Do business till I come\u2019\u00bb\u00a0(Luke, 19:13).<\/h6>\r\nIt is the Lord\u2019s commandment \u2013 to use the talents that God has given us.\r\n\r\nGreatness starts with little things! Begin using the little things you have and be faithful and consistent in it; then you will be surprised to see what can grow out of it. The seed of greatness is in every person right now. But this seed will grow and bring harvest only if you will plant it and use it according to its original purpose.\r\n<h6>\u00abA little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time\u00bb\u00a0(Isaiah, 60:22).<\/h6>\r\nTill tomorrow!\r\n\r\nToday be faithful and obedient to God in small things!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Begin using the little things you have and be faithful and consistent in it; then you will be surprised to see what can grow out of it.
