Love is more than our human emotions. Love is a force in the heart. Jacob loved Rachel and his heart cleaved to her sons, despite everything and the connivance of Leah. God did not come to force love out of us but to reveal love to us. Jesus came to make us know the depth and height of God’s love. Ephesians 3:19-20.
I am the living and true love. I am the greatest and supreme love. The love you have not known but you must know; the love that all of eternity will come to know. All of eternity cannot unravel that love, for I am love. Yea, hitherto you have known the love of sin and the enemy, you have known the love of the grave and have fallen for them; they have gone to woo your heart and you have fallen for them. In the day I created you, I did so for you to love, but they have explored that which I put to you. Hitherto, their curse is brought to a perpetual end, for this day forward you will begin to know another love that lives and liberate that does not fide. That is the love that I am and beg you to know, which calls out to your soul to fall in love with me so that you will know that there is love without hate and death. This is the love I have made you to love. Reach in deep within you and participate in this love and you will know that you can love me. I made you and I am your creator, what I put in you has capability to love God. Don’t be afraid for you can love God. Ignore the wooing of sin and death and you will see there is a higher fellowship. I call you to the love that lives and draws you to the throne and the father. The love that makes God your father is the love I give unto you.
1 John 3:1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
The love described in the scripture above cannot be described except it is revealed. It is a kind of the strongest love that a man who fails to find it has simply been robbed of the highest good. The love of the world is a corrupted one. The classes of love propounded by man cannot capture this kind of love. This love describes the love that God has. John 3:16. God loved so much to the extent that he gave.
The giving of his son is a demonstration of a higher love. Every religion has fine-tuned a way to express love. God loves the world and gave His son as a demonstration of his love. By this love, one can get born again. However, God doesn’t just want us to get born again but to partake of his nature/life.
No sect on earth can comprehend or explain God’s kind of love, which is only in Christ and Christianity. Without knowing what we have, we lack the ability to help others come into it and we also cannot fully enjoy it. We need a certain measure of understanding to really enjoy what we have. It is unfortunate that in this part of the world, we often don’t place value on the importance of manual that comes with whatever product we buy.
The investment of God’s love to us cannot be maximally utilized without understanding. Apostle Paul understood the love and marveled at its manner. It becomes a blessing to come to a point where we believe in the Bible. We often don’t treasure things until we discover the enemy’s intention to hinder men from attempting to look into the secrets embedded in the bible. The Arab world has done all they could to annihilate the Gospel because the people have been sold a lie, which has transcended upon many of their generation. However, the way to love them is to make them see that they have only been told a lie.
We do not serve the same God as some religions claim. Yahweh describes the God that appeared to Abraham. The appearances are expressions of God’s love to man. He will spend a lot of time to raise prophets that will prepare a way that love will find to legally enter into our mind. Love spends time to prepare a way for him to ride into our heart to make us see what manner of love that the father bestowed upon us who believe. There is a mandate of love the father bestowed on us that we should be called the sons of God.
The Calling means that the love will become our life, inheritance, identity and experience; that by identity we will become an eternal part of him. God sent Jesus so that everyone who believes will be eternally a part of God. The love that gives one an identity is the highest/strongest kind of love because it changes our future and entirety. God decided to share this love of identity with man through birth (being born again). Some religions ignorantly uphold that God does not give birth and cannot.
God’s love that desires to change an identity also intends to make one know the exact process that caused the change of identity. Preaching inheritance of Life is meant to make man appreciate a new kind of love. Eternal Life is a nature of God’s love. No man can preach Eternal Life without preaching Eternal Love. We preach love, see the light and live the life; life makes men comprehend love. Once the love is comprehended, the reality of its force is unleashed unto us.
The force that exists between the Father and Son cannot only be understood by the man that is being fathered by God; it is inexplicable to an unbeliever. A son can easily talk about the reality of God’s personality; God wants us to come into the reality of his personality, who he is. We must become who God is; this is the expression of his love.
1 John 3:2
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Ephesians 1:6
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Fellows mean those that can engage in the same level and quality of interaction. The Gospel is wired for us to experience and come into God’s love. A man can change not by an external packaging but inward arrangement. For a church to grow, externality must be de-emphasized because it can give a false reality. External packaging makes nothing perfect. Matthew 23:37. It will take meeting Jesus to break the false hope available in externality.
The sons of God that we are have not yet appeared; what we shall be is a son going through salvation. It is just like Jesus at Jordan; it took his disciples to see him in Glory. At Jordan, Jesus only had a kind of glory (the first expression of his sonship); this was the miraculous Jesus that could not destroy the works of the devil. A level of sonship has been seen but another that will appear has not been seen.
1 John 3:3
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Jesus is the perfect match for men. The world does not have a chance to know the Gospel. The number of those that do not know Christ exceeds the number of those that do. We become a part of other religions, mostly, by birth. It is only Christianity that demands man’s personal response to partake of it; other religions don’t. Other religions make their disciples by breaking their will, only few have capacity to break out from such subjection imposed by their oppressor. The religions however lack the ability to give Life despite the conquest. The devil’s strategy is to raise a world system that is subjected under oppressors and fear is the key used to keep men under. It is only Jesus that has the ability to save men from all nations despite their background, culture, social systems and others.
The Gospel must be seen as a global tool to save. Man needs to be born again and come to the revelation of the gospel to see how hopes are expressed. The gospel is the package of God’s hope that is revealed in Christ in different status. Everyone who believes should see and have this hope. The Church must be the Church of hope that will bring hope to vessels that emanated from different homes and systems. Man is an entity/prisoner of hope. The world is a house of idols where hopes are being sold, because humans are all meant to pursue hope. Zachariah 9:12.
However, we need to come out of the prison houses of hope to the realities of Hope. 1 John 3:1. The ultimate/perfect Son of love describes the ultimate Glory. This son refers to the Son of God’s own image and likeness. Genesis 1:26. Godliness is God’s likeness. Man is created to be God’s image and likeness, the Son of God. Every believer must have this hope in him. Hopes are things that we are expecting to happen but this Hope is a singular pursuit. It was difficult to change people under the former rain of the church because the hope that they heard could not be seen. Most had the hope of going to heaven but could not see it. Any hope that cannot be seen cannot change or save anyone.
We are object of hopes and live on them on a daily basis. Hopes are anchors, sustainers and keepers. Sometimes, they have the ability to stop death. We can’t comprehend love if we have not experienced/comprehend hope. The Son of God in his Glory must be seen in order for him to become our Hope. We believe in Jesus Christ but we have not seen him with our hearts. We must comprehend the personality of Christ. Emmanuel, God with us, is yet to appear unto us, which the Jews look for to be with them, but for us as believers He is God in us. Man is designed to carry God; this is a prophetic inscription that has been since ages and has been the desires of the fathers of the Jews. The invisible God had desired before time to be a part of man.
It is a privilege to come into Christ to discover a higher way of life. Therefore, we do not force any man to come to Christ because when the love of God shines in that heart, it will turn. Coming to Christ is the manifestation of God’s love to man.
The greatest battles of the ages is about to be fought and won and one of the greatest of such battles will be won by love; for love is the way of peace which proceeds from the throne. To conquer and win is achieved through love. The finger of love will go forth to touch the nations. The arm of God will reveal His love, for it has been purposed that the battles will be won by God’s fingers. The revelation of God will be real in your days. This is the beginning of the end of the battles that have raged on for days. In these days, I will cause that the arm of God will be empowered to handle the sword of peace and truth. They shall make war with the dragon and defeat it, for judgment is being committed to the saints. This war will be won in your times, for the arms of the Lord are being empowered with the sword of the sprit to war and conquer even they that dwell in darkness to bring them forth and to conquer the adversary that has ruled by cruelty.
It is not philanthropic acts that will get the job of salvation done. Charity work is weak to save a soul. A soul that has been sold out into false hopes cannot be delivered using these charitable acts. Islam is a religion for prisoners of hope. The hope that it gives to those under it like marrying seven virgins and a chance to go to heaven after one involved in suicide bombing is a false hope.
There is a true joy that makes a man new every day. Romans 14:17. The love that God has can make man ageless. When Christ is being preached, inheritance and conformation to the image of the Son is being preached. Therefore, let us run the race that is set before us. May our hearts go through purification to run in Jesus name. Amen!
