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 the...

Are You A True Disciple? Part 1

       This decade opened with very dire straits for mankind, as many people around the world woke up to a world that stood still as each nation shut their borders, homes and institutions shutting their doors. If many had been told this scenario could happen a couple of decades ago, one would say it was crazily impossible. But it did happen! Many lives and livelihoods were destroyed, and many institutions and lifestyles, including the Church, were affected. As terrible as the times were and still are, it is exposing the hearts and state of many 'sons of God'!         Many wondered aloud, 'What does the devil want for causing all this havoc?' And some went further to ask, 'What does God want?' The answer to both questions is 'Man' (male and female)! It is a battle between the Kingdom of God and darkness for the soul of man. As a result, man is being prepared both by God and the devil for eternity with either!         ...

It Is Time To Raise A Cry For Nigeria!

  "The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:6-8).         Listening to a brother detailing how Nigeria will be great again because it was foretold decades ago, I quieted down in my spirit to listen to him. According to him, the prophecies of old say that Nigeria will become a beacon of God's light to the rest of the world as they carry His Word to the rest of the world, especially in Africa. He enumerated the many qualities of Nigeria, especially the spiritual significance of her position within the continent of Africa. She will be used by God to trigger the last move of revival in the last days, he continued.         I listened attentively,...
