THE GOD KIND OF LOVE.

And as He loved those who were His own in the world, He loved them to the last and to the highest degree.........................There are many definitions of the word...LOVE. It means different things to different people. I will like to write to you about divine love that originates from the all-loving God because I am known as the God`s Own Writer and I write Godly-inspired articles and write-ups. God is the creator and the originator of true love because He is love Himself. The Bible stated it metaphorically that God is love. His nature is love. The material essence with which God is made up of is love. It was love that moved Him to create man. He thought of creating a living being that is a lower than Himself in his image and likeness. He thought of granting that being inexplicable dominion over all the works of His hands on earth just as He exhibits the same dominion in Heaven. He thought of having fellowship with him daily because man has a spirit that needs to stay consistently in touch with God`s Spirit for his normal day-to-day functioning and existence. When man messed up to sin, love moved God to establish the plan of salvation, reconciliation and redemption. Love moved God to save man from his sins. Love propelled God to reconcile man to Himself after saving man from His sins and love caused God to redeem man to his original state of the edenic life. The edenic life was a unique lifestyle that was rooted in sound spiritual connectivity with God, joy, peace, abundance, prosperity, sound health, fruitfulness and success just to mention a few. Jesus Christ is/was the manifestation of God`s love to humanity as if He refused to come down from Heaven to earth to take the form of man, die for man`s sins and reconcile man to God...man would have never received God`s love. Jesus could have died at the age of 15 and redeem man to God by His shed blood because it was His sinless blood that was needed to seal the deal but God planned it that He would set up a ministry of love at the age of 30 and the ministry of love would run till He was 33 before willingly giving His life for humanity. The ministry of love that God gave Christ was rooted in compassion, pity, undeserving mercies, selflessness and everlasting love. Jesus` ministry of love which was showcased in compassion, pity, mercies, selflessness etc touched countless number of people while He was alive on this earth. For example, He had love/compassion on Blind Bartemeus and He opened his eyes. He looked with pity on a woman that was bowed/bent down permanently for seventeen years and he straightened her back. He looked upon five thousand people who were hungry and worn out after listening to His sermons and He fed them until they were filled to the brim. He delivered countless number of people from the cruel oppressions of the devil by opening their blind eyes, deaf ears, paralyzed feet etc. When Lazarus was dead and stinkingly smelling due to decay as a result of death, love moved Him to raise him from the dead. The prophetic word for today states that...He loved His own who were in the world and He loved them to the highest degree. God`s love for man is always to the highest degree but the problem of many people is that they are blind to this love. The greatest need of people is love as everybody wants to be loved. Anyone that is shown the right amount of love at infancy and childhood stage of his/her life is likely to grow up to become a responsible human being in life. We have social vices like prostitution, drug-addiction, armed robbery etc because the victims of these vices were starved of genuine love when they were young. We have to come to the knowledge of God`s love for us and accept the truth of that knowledge. God loves us and that love is eternal. If you are not born again, accept that love by giving your life to Christ Jesus. If you are born again, grow in that love by living a Spirit-controlled life...a life that is ruled and controlled by the ministry of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is always speaking to our spirits/hearts. As we catch what He is saying to us per time, we will continue to grow in love because God`s love is shed abroad continuously in our hearts by the Holy Spirit and one of the cardinal fruits of the Spirit-controlled life is love. The Holy Spirit wants to inspire you as a result of His love ministry to open that orphanage. He wants to inspire someone to start reaching out to prison inmates. He wants to inspire somebody to reach out to social miscreants on our streets. He wants to inspire someone reading this article to clear off prostitution, drug-trafficking, child-trafficking from the nations of the earth especially Nigeria. He wants to inspire someone to reach out to teenagers and the younger generations in preparation for a glorious adulthood, relationships and marriages. These are love-driven-Holy Ghost-motivated/inspired-ideas which He wants to transfer into your spirit/heart but you have to be sensitive to Him always by being in the Spirit and saying NO to all forms of carnality. I believe that if Christians in Nigeria and other parts of the world will take it as a personal responsibility to love other people than themselves genuinely the way God loves them, our world will be a better place to live in. This is coming straight from my heart of hearts....Shalom!
