Does God Love Me?

-
So many children of God at one point of their lives ask this question: does God love me? If He does, why are certain things not happening the way I want them to? This question is an age long question that children of God had asked and are still asking. It is a question that distracts followers of Christ from following completely. It is the question that had driven a lot of potential generals in the Lord's Army to the camp of darkness. Have we ever sat down to ponder where exactly this question originates from? What could have propelled us to ask such a question? In Romans 5:8, the Lord proved His love for us in this manner, that while we were still sinners, He died for us. No person dies for a person he does not love. The enemy knows that if he can succeed in telling man that God does not love him, all kinds of dark thoughts will enter his heart, such a person becomes a willing tool of darkness.

There are so many reasons why a child of God can suddenly question God's love for him. Top of the list is lack of contentment. When such a person begins to compare notes with others, he falters and questions the love of God for him because he equates God’s love with the things he has or does not have. Peter was told by the Lord in John 21:20-23 to follow Him. Peter was rather concerned by another disciple, whom the Bible says Jesus loved.  The Lord told him to mind his own business and follow Him. This is the error so many still commit till this day.  Do not equate His love for you by the things you have in contrast to others. If you do not check this quickly, the demon of inferiority complex steps into such a life and makes him constantly question the love of God for him. It whispers deadly suggestions to prove that God does not love him. Such whisperings, a lot misinterpret to be the voice of the Holy Spirit, but it is not!  The fact that you are going through some stuff does not mean God does not love you. What you are going through is His way of training you, once we reject this, then we are illegitimate children. Don’t allow the enemy whisper words that negates the word of God to you any more. Silence him by declaring that God loves you and He proves it on a daily basis. The fact that you are going through some things, not withstanding, He is with you and loves you according to Isaiah 43:1-7. Jesus Christ LOVES YOU! Believe this and walk in it.

The Quarry Site Experience

-
Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through them so that we m

Many things had happened in the life of Abram. He had gone to war to save his nephew caught in a war between several nations. Against all odds, Abram with his 318 trained men born in his household, successfully pursued the armies of four kingdoms and defeated them. This feat could only have been possible with the help of God. Abram acknowledged this by giving a tenth of the spoils to Melchizedek, the king of Salem. "After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; Your reward [for obedience] shall be very great" (Genesis 15:1, AMP).    In the previous chapter, we saw Abram refuse the overtures of the king of Sodom to share in the spoils of war. The way Abram puts it was quite enlightening. He said: "But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand and sworn an oath to the Lord God Most High, the Creator and Possessor of heaven and earth, that I would not take anything that is yours, fr

Beware Of The Choice Table

       The book of Daniel opens with the account of God handing over the king of Judah, her people, and her treasures to the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. Those first two verses in the first chapter of Daniel were quite frightening; imagine being handed over to your enemy to be enslaved and or probably killed. Why would God do this to His beloved people? 'Where is His mercy', many cry out today when they read these and many more Scriptures like that. Why would God send His people into slavery and suffering, many yell today, especially in the face of current happenings around the world or in their personal lives.         Those that say such are yet to understand the extent of His mercy and love. In His mercy, He gives His people a chance to repent and return to Him because He is holy; and those that must worship Him must do so in holiness. In His love, to experience that life outside of Him is empty and filled with darkness devoid of any form of light. His love brings light i
