RELENTLESS LOVE

John 16:27 For the Father himself loves you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

Hello!! I am confident that God is continually increasing you in knowledge as we share the message of His grace. Apostle Paul said this "word of grace" is able to build us up and give us an inheritance (Acts 20:32), that's the reason we cannot stop studying and sharing this great message to everyone we can reach. Jesus is alive!

On the previous blog, I made a very conclusive statement ; Understanding the love of God is the greatest achievement in Christianity and in life. This has become my thinking infused into my spirit by the revelation of God's word. Ephesians 3:17-19 is absolutely amazing!! These are scriptures to mark in your bible or print them and put them on a wall, scriptures to share with your friends and family, those words to meditate on continually. Let's look at it together. 

Ephesians 3:17-19 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

Wow wow wow, do you see what I see!! The inspired prayer by Apostle Paul to the church is that you will be rooted and grounded, having the foundation of your life as the love of God. Now there is one major word that we will feast on today , this word is "rooted". The word rooted speaks of anchor and supply. An old Lutheran hymn by Edward Mote goes like this ;

My hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus' blood and righteousness , I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus' name.

Anchored on the love of Christ, immovable and unshakable. Romans 8:38 says, "what shall separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus....." - NOTHING! It does not matter what the winds are that blow into the boat, when the storms rage and nothing in the natural seems to make sense, your confession is "Jesus loves me". The love of Christ, your anchor.

ROOTED!!

Now , going to the other word that I love so dearly , supply!! I remember a year ago I had a big A3 paper with these words, "God is my supply of every good thing". Have you ever thought that we are God's children and God is our Father? God is a good Father and He is so passionate about taking care of all your needs. God's provision for us is founded on His love for us. In our title scripture , Jesus is alerting the disciples that in the day of salvation, which is the day we are living right now as the children of righteousness, He will not ask the Father on our behalf to give us anything but we will ask in His name. Jesus then says that the Father will give us because "the Father Himself loves us." Oh glory God forever, this is what must give you boldness wherever you are, the Father Himself , the creator of this world and everything in it, that GREAT and ONLY God loves you. 

This love is beyond comprehension, its too great to fathom. But the good news is that as we read scriptures on His love and think deeply and start confessing them , by His Spirit we can fully understand this love and when we do , when we do understand , the scripture says something really really big. The word of God says we will be filled with all the fullness of God. I know you are wondering if this is in the bible , yes it! I told you understanding the love of Christ is the BIGGEST. Pray this prayer in Ephesians 3:16-19 for yourself daily, you will be amazed how your life will go. I love Martin Smith's song , here is how it goes;

You'll never stop loving us , no matter how far we run. You'll never give up on us. All of heaven shout , let the future begin!!....

Always a joy sharing with you, see you again next time. Keep on reading, keep on letting me know your thoughts and keep on sharing with your world. Much love.
