Love for God

Love itself is something inexplorable due to its robust and deep nature.
Some has defined Love as God Himself. Perhaps because of the unfathomable quality they share.

But I wanna assume we all believe we have only one true God, The God Almighty. Now, how can humans (with flesh and blood) love God who is spirit?

Let me quickly tell us that humans are first spiritual in nature before physical. We have the Spirit, The Soul and the Body. Each with distinct functions.

With our spirit we can connect to the realm where God dwells...The Spirit realm.

Now let us quickly bring to light a scriptural verse...Matthew 6:24

KJV: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Excerpt:

Love itself is something inexplorable due to its robust and deep nature.
Some has defined Love as God Himself. Perhaps because of the unfathomable quality they share.

If God is Love, Mathematically, God is God.

Hence this topic can be… God for God.

Well, we'll come back fully to that. Let's quickly make love our focus.

Mr. Ismail did justice to the topic by emphasizing that humans need to be at constant acknowledgment of the God factor

I'll just be emphasizing that too.

Love for God…

Let me ask us a simple question by way of introduction...

What made you go  to work today?

Why exactly did you go through all those stress?

Why wouldn't you just sit at home all day?

Now I seen to know the reason... It is not because you so love your boss.

It is not because you love to explore. It can never be because you  love seeing the face of your colleagues at work. I wish someone can be sincere enough to tell me why.

You see...there is a drive. There is a reason why people kill.

I just moved to a place where the majority resident youth does Yahoo as a profession (yahoo plus+ is an advantage).

I heard of a particular young guy who would just start barking like a bull dog for almost an hour. He would so do it that his voice would be gone after the whole barking.

Then after it's gone, he'll begin to receive alerts upon alerts...

I witnessed an ugly one myself...

I was around the market when I observed this handsome looking guy who started to pull of his clothes... He did till he was stark naked at the market square...

Then, he took his hand to his buttocks and started defecating on his own hand.

This is what I saw myself. People were crying for him but those who understands were clapping for him for the great show he just out up.

They know his money is on the way. Why am I talking about money when I should just talk about God and get out of here?

There seem to be a big matter looming ahead. I wish I had time to explore a bit the subject of God.

But I wanna assume we all believe we have only one true God, The God Almighty. Now, how can humans (with flesh and blood) love God who is spirit?

Let me quickly tell us that humans are first spiritual in nature before physical. We have the Spirit, The Soul and the Body. Each with distinct functions.

With our spirit we can connect to the realm where God dwells...The Spirit realm.

Now let us quickly bring to light a scriptural verse...Matthew 6:24

KJV: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

ESV:“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

NIV:“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

AMP:No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in.

No one can be a slave of two masters, he will either love one and hate the other or be loyal to one and despise the other, you cannot serve both God and money

Quickly, here are some key words...

*Serve

*Masters

*God

*Mammon

*Love

*Despise

It says, No man Can Serve Two Masters... Who are these two Superior beings? 

God and Money (Mammon).

Can you imagine Money being placed on the same pedestal as God?
.
That's a serious matter… So God himself acknowledged Money to be a Master. I just really wish I could help us understand this and just rest. But we must just press this matter a bit further.

Can you remember the story of those guys I told you initially... The yahoo+ guys?

I really commend them for something. For now, I don't wanna see them as wrongdoers...

Leave me, allow me commend them. I want to commend their confidence and bravery act. I wanna commend the fact that they didn't care about public opinion...

They forgot about their esteem. They didn't even care if their videos and pictures will be shared on any social media. The were desperate.

They were fearless… They knew what they wanted. They went for it.

Because they knew that if they had it, people will soon forget about their shames and focus on their riches.

When you see a young man who love God, he wouldn't care if ladies are looking at him or not before obeying his inner promptings to tell someone about Jesus.

That apart... The love for God is contagious!
It’s like fire. Just like the Yahoo guys, when this thing becomes a reality in you, you will be so in love that you wouldn't hear people calling you Jesus' Freak.

When you see someone loves God, he doesn't joke with his secret place of fellowship with God. You see, there is something very common amidst some folks...

They'll say… "well I know I love God. Besides relationship with God is personal... God sees my heart and bla bla bla".

I wonder how they didn't know that the inner quality of a fruit is made manifested externally.

If you genuinely love God, everyone around you will know. Not even because you are carrying a big KJV Bible under your arms and sweating Jesus is Lord through the streets.

It is called an Aura. It is feelable! Smellable! Touchable! Visible!

A man who loves God is even known by the words of his prayers.

He doesn't pray for God to give me shoes, give me cars, give me clothes...gimme gimme gimme....

Lord, what can I do for you?

"Lord, i actually don't have much to say, I just wanna listen to you speak to me.

"God, I observed its been a while I sang genuinely for you, so today, I wanna just worship you instead of sleeping. This thing can't be faked.

It's a pity that many things have been diluted... I was on a bus from Oshodi and as someone stood up to preach, I heard the kids beside me hissed and said "I hate this people"

Well, I didn't just jump into conclusion, I took my time to engage them in a discussion and i realized they are Christians who go to church even...

Well, this is a topic we can't explore in its volume as said earlier...

While I round up, can I ask that we just do a heart check. This isn't an oratory show or something. God's love isn't just to be talked about but to be experienced.

Do you still love God?

Is something else taking over?

Do you find praying too burdensome?

Has your bible study habit become buried?

Then...something is wrong, or perhaps you've known God before now but gone back due to life's pressures and pleasures...

I can help you connect back to him, It’s easy. Just do a genuine heart check and confess your sins to him.

Tell him you're sorry for not regarding as a God who can be loved...

Then pray this..

Dear Lord, thank you for coming through for me. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. I believe I'm free already from sin. Henceforth, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior.

And I ask that you'll help me love you deeply from tonight.

In Jesus name I ask.   Amen!
