V"},"content":{"rendered":"Greetings to you, dear friends! You are welcome to the our column of our \u201eDaily Word for Spiritual Strength\u201d!\r\n\r\nOur God is good, and He has given us the message of His love \u2013\u00a0the Word of God.\r\n\r\nI also thank God for the fact that we can draw strength and wisdom from this message today.\r\n\r\nWe have been talking about the fact that a true love will always be connected with self-sacrifice.\r\n\r\nYou cannot say you love until you sacrifice or do something for the object of your love.\r\n\r\nYou cannot say you love and at the same time neglect spending time with the one whom you love. It is simply not possible! Time is our life. By spending time with the one whom you love, you are giving or sharing with them part of your life.\r\n\r\nIn order to\u00a0earn money, you need time; in order to spend money, you need time. If you have money but do not have time to spend it, this money will not bring you any blessings. If you lose the money, you can earn it back tomorrow. But if you lose time, you are not getting it back!\r\n\r\nTherefore, if you love God, you will find time for Him, and you will give Him the most precious thing you have \u2013 your time!\r\n\r\nDavid said,\r\n<h6>\u201cI will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.\u201d (Psalms 34:1)<\/h6>\r\nMany people do not have time to come to the service; during the weekdays, they do not have time to think about God or meditate on His Word, they do not have time to open their Bible or pray. Many people are too busy to sacrifice their time for God!\r\n\r\nI want to throw a challange to you today: prove to God that you love Him. Yoour proof cannot be just in words such as, \u201cLord, I love You, I am a Christian, I am a member of a church, etc.\u201d Let the proof of your love for God be display through your sacrifice, the effective use of your talents, to minister to other people and help them glorify God in their lives.\r\n\r\nMay God bless you!\r\n\r\nUntil tomorrow!\r\n\r\nPastor\u00a0Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You cannot say you love and at the same time neglect spending time with the one whom you love.
