THE PURPOSE OF YOU AS A CHRISTIAN IS TO SHOW TRUE & LASTING LOVE THEME : TRUE AND LASTING ♡LOVE TEXT : JOHN 15:13 GOD IN HIS INFINITE MERCY CREATED MAN OUT OF LOVE AND FELLOWSHIP, WHICH HE DEPOSITED IN EACH OF HIS CREATION..GEN 1:27. PARADOXICALLY SUCH LOVE HAS BEEN DEVALUE AND LOST IT VITALITY DUE TO DECEIT AND OPEN DISOBEDIENCE OF OUR FORE FATHER AND MOTHER , ADAM AND EVE, WHO LOST THEIR CHOSEN, PROPHETIC IDENTITY AND TRUE PURPOSE ( EPHESIAN 1:4-6, Jere 1:5) DUE TO THE LUST OF THE EYE, PRIDE OF LIFE AND LUST OF THE FLESH..THEY WERE DECIEVED BY SATAN WHO LOST HIS AND STILL SEEK TO DESTROY MANY..BUT I EARNESTLY PRAY YOU WONT BE A VICTIM OF HIS SCHEMES IN JESUS NAME. ( Ezekiel 28) TODAY IN SOUGHT OF THIS INBORN NATURE OF MANKIND, MAN HAS AND CONTINUE TO SEEK A LOT TO SATISFY THAT INNER AND MOST SIGNIFICANT PART OF HIM ..WHICH HE INURES BY JOINING CULTS, SECRET SOCIETIES, CLUBS, ASSOCIATIONS OF DIVERSE KINDS, COOPERATIVES BODY AND SO ON AS THE LIST GOES, UNFORTUNATELY AND MOST DISSAPPOINTINGLY DIDNT RESOLVE HIS QUEST..WHY???? BECAUSE YOU CAN NEVER GIVE WHAT YOU DONT HAVE..REMEMBER ,THAT MAN LOST HIS TRUE IDENTITY DUE TO ONE MAN AND THROUGH ONE MAN, GOD RESTORE HIM (ROMAN 5:19-21...REV 3:20.) .SAYS HE IS KNOCKING BUT MANY ARE REFUSING AND WONDER WHY THEY CANT BE LOVE OR RECIPROCATE IT. IF YOU WANT TO ASK WHY BELIEVER FIND IT DIFFICULT TO EMULATE THAT LOVE OF JESUS( JOHN 3:16, 8:3-11, Ist JOHN 3:16) .. IS BECAUSE SUCH LOVE THOUGH INHERITED AS A CHILD OF GOD ( IICOR 5:17) IT CARRIES A RESPONSIBILTY WHICH MUST BE EARNED ON A DAILY BASES IN TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO THE OWNER OF IT (JESUS..HEB 1:9, ISA 1:18-19)... BECAUSE THIS MESSAGE IS A SERIES..LET ME POINT OUT 5 SIGNIFICANT PRACTICE THAT SHOULD BE OBSERVED PRACTICALLY AND NOT PASSIVELY BY ALL WHO SEEK TO LOVE AND BE LOVED. 1. SPEND TIME EXPRESSING YOUR OWN CREATIVITY ON ACTUALISING WHO GOD INTEND YOU TO BE RATHER THEN TRYING TO FIX OTHERS.. (Ist Peter 2:9, Eph 1:4-6, Matt 7:5, John 8:3-11..everyone of us have short comings and until we recognise that, it becomes difficult to show true and lasting love, cux the longer you love and stay put the sooner you begin to resent because the love have sift what has been seived. 2. ELIMINATE THE BARRIER TO SPEAKING AND HEARING THE TRUTH..JOHN 14:6, PROV 3:5..STOP RELYING ON YOUR OWN SENSES RATHER EMBRACE THE TRUE THAT NO MAN CAN LOVE WITHOUT THE LOVE OF GOD IN HIM AND IF YOU ARE A BELIEVER NEVER CHOOSE TO TELL A LIE, CAUSE A LIE WILL ALWAYS LEADS TO ANOTHER LIES WHICH IS A FAULTY FOUNDATION AND WILL SURELY ONE DAY CRASH BUT THE TRUTH THOUGH IT REBUKES, CHASTISE, REPROOF, ETC SPEAK IT WITH THE WISDOM OF GOD WITHOUT COMPROMISE. 3. ERADICATE BLAME AND CRITICS..ROMAN 7:15-24..1st Tim 1:12-16, Prov 23:7..Until you stop shifting blame LOVE remains a MIRAGE and a MYSTERY, that you long for and yet wont have it. 4. BE COMMITTED TO THE CAUSE OF IT AND NEVER FEEL INDESPENSIBLE OR FEELING ARRIVED...ACTS 20:24, PHIL 3:13-14, ROM 5:35-39 5. MASTER THE ART OF CONTINUAL SEEKING FROM THE LORD BY RENOUNCING YOUR WEAKNESS..PROV 28:13, NUMBERS 14:28 WE ALL WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE WE CAN FEEL THE WARM EMBRACE OF GENUINE INTIMACY INSTEAD OF SETTLING FOR NUMBING COUCH COMFORTS OF COMPROMISE AND ANTICIPATING, LONGING FOR A PLACE WE CAN GET THE CHANCE TO CONTACT AND EXPRESS OUR FULL CREATIVE POTENTIAL WHICH IS POSSIBLE BUT IMPOSSIBLE IF WE DONT HAVE JESUS, EVEN IF YOU HAVE HIM, IT IS RESPONSIBILITY LAY UPON YOU TO EARNED IT WITH MEEKNESS, ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE, PERSISTANT COMMITTMENT DONE ONE STEP AT THE TIME..AND I EARNESTLY PRAY WE WILL HAVE THAT LOVE AND RECIPROCATE TO OUR NEIGBORS AND ENEMIES IN JESUS NAME. JOHN 3:16, 1ST JOHN 3:16
