God Is Love

The greatest thing on the earth is the love of God. The love of God is so supernatural, it can heal, save and deliver the worst of sinners and turn them to the saints of God. The love of God can rescue men and women headed for hell and make them a candidate for heaven. What a love so great and so profound full of grace and power!

Don't live your life in condemnation, guilt and regret because of what you did or how you lived in the past. God is merciful, gracious and loving. The love of God for you will not fail. God loves you with an everlasting love. He has your interest at heart, notwithstanding your life experiences. You are not supposed to be downcast and unhappy with a feeling of rejection. You need to know that God is love and His love is a cure to your sin, shame and sorrow, provided you dwell in the love of God.

God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 1 John 4: 16.

God is love personified and anyone who loves, knows God and lives in God.

Genuine love of God in a man will translate into love for the loveable and unloveable people.

The love of God is so deep and unconditional that nothing can stop it in your life dear listener.

The love of God is not self-serving but sacrificial. The love of God comes at a high cost and the one who loves is the person who is willing to pay the price and serve others. God will place him in command of the power to do great exploits. It is not possible for anyone to love God and not love people.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4: 7- 8.

Love is essential to the nature of God and God expects you to flow effortlessly loving people.

Truly, the love of God is benevolent, it will drive a man or a woman to look for someone in need and assist in meeting that need, even when the person does not deserve the favor.

In Genesis 39: 2 and Genesis 50: 20- 21, Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers. They betrayed and plotted to kill him but the Lord was with him in every place, even in the prison. He eventually became a Prime Minister in Egypt, but because of the love of God, he could not retaliate against his brothers despite his great power and authority in Egypt.

The love of God is so powerful, overcoming the carnal, vengeful nature of man.

Remember Job 42: 10, Job was in affliction and his three friends were mocking him, instead of consoling him with encouraging words but he had to pray and forgive them before God can restore his health and prosperity. Job's restoration was hinged upon loving and forgiving his friends.

Love is an action. It is real, profitable and rewarding if it is shown to people in truth and sincerity. Love cannot be displayed in pretence and hypocrisy, It will be known by the people.

If anyone says, "I love God " but keeps on hating his brother, he is a liar; for if he doesn't love his brother who is right there in front of him, how can he love God whom he has never seen" 1 John 4: 20.

There is no man who can give what he has not got. If you don't know God, there is no way, you can show His love to anyone.

Being compassionate and kind- hearted to others is a function of the agape love of God in people's life. Your love for God will determine your love for people. Your success, progress and prosperity will be hampered, if you have no love for God and others.

How can I have the love of God?

1, Be a genuine born again child of God.
2, Be passionate for God and His kingdom.
3, Build intimacy with God.
4, Determine to show love to the lovable and unlovable people.
5, Be committed to keep the commandments of God
If you love God, keep His commandments 1 John 5: 13

6, Giving and sacrificing for God and people. John 3: 16
Be sacrificial and liberal to God and others. Don't be stingy, greedy and selfish.

7, Spend time with God in prayer, fasting and worship to imbibe the character and nature of God.

Overcoming Depression

Isaiah 41: 10, Fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed for I am your God, I will strengthen, I will help you, I will uphold you with my right hand.

The question is, how do I overcome depression, anxiety and worry and find joy, peace, life, comfort and strength in the face of hardship, in the face of challenges, sorrows going on in the world.

The Word of God assured us that God would give us help, support and deliverance in all our challenges, in all our troubles.
So, living by the Word of God gives us victory in time of difficult situations. Don't allow negative thinking and feeling dominate your life, rather allow God's Word to dominate you because God's Word will lead you to joy, peace and life.

What is depression? Depression is having anxiety over the problems of life. Worrying over the cares of life. Depression is a negative thinking and a feeling of failure, defeat and non- accomplishment in life.
Depression is anxiety, pressure, worry of life that weigh people down which comes as a result of loss of a job, death of loved one, lack of money, lack of money, lack of clothings, lack of food, not getting admission into the university, not having earthly possession and position on life, it could be a loss of relationship, non - accomplishment, a feeling of not doing well, you feel others are doing well more than you do.

So, depression is a negative thinking and a feeling that move people away from the will of God for their life. Depression triggers bad feeling in people, it makes them to be weak in faith unable to believe God for a change of story. Depression is a strategy of the enemy to rob believers of their blessings in God through negative thinking. If you want God to change your life, change the way you think, feel and live, because your thinking affect your feelings and your feelings will determine how you live or fare in life.

Having considered all of that, how do I overcome depression?

1, Get rid of negative thoughts. Romans 8: 6
Negative thoughts will lead you to depression.

2, Let go of the things weighing you down.

3, Live a life of gratitude.
Ingratitude disqualifies you from receiving the blessings of the Lord. Murmuring, complaining, ingratitude leads to faithlessness in God. The absence of appreciation leads to depression in man. Gratitude causes you to receive help of God in your difficult moment.

4, Be a visionary
Have something you are looking up to God to attain in life, instead of looking at other people, what they are doing. Have a picture of how you want your life to be. Have a picture, a beautiful picture of where you are going, where you want God to take you to, instead of living in depression.

5, Live For God.
Live for God and others. Don't live for self. A life live for self is a life for losses, but when you live for God, God will give you a reward. When you live for God, you live in God, the presence of God will guarantee you grace, joy, happiness and it will give you fulfillment. When you spent time to live for God, you are walking in love, the love of God, the presence of God in your life will terminate frustration, depression and gloominess in your life.

6, Refuse to be intimidated by other people's success.
Nothing reduces your passion and energy to aspire for greatness and kill your vision and dream like the thoughts of failure, not doing well or a feeling of retrogression. A situation where you feel you are stagnated, you are not moving forward, others are ahead of you. The thought of that could lead to depression in your life.

7, Casting all your anxieties on the Lord because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5: 7 says, Cast your cares on the Lord, the Lord cares for you. Cast all your worries on the Lord. Refuse to carry the burdens. Get rid of it.
What do you do when you are bombarded with life's challenges? You are to cast all your worries, all your needs, all your anxieties on the Lord in place of prayer knowing full well that God cares for you.

8, Live a life of faith
Faith in God gives you access to see the miraculous in your moment of difficulty. Faith qualifies you to receive divine intervention of God in your challenging moments.
Dear listener, remember without faith, it is impossible to please the Lord.

9, Have absolute trust in God.
Live a life of godliness. Don't trust things of the world, don't trust mammon, don't trust material things. Avoid covetousness, greed and selfishness. Never place the pursuit of riches above God. Be content with what you have and not what someone's else has.

10, Be prayerful.
Do not be anxious about anything in life. Always pray and present your issues to God in prayer with thanksgivings, then God will give you His peace in the midst of troubles through Jesus Christ.

11, Overcome your negative thoughts by the Word of God.
Because God has said, He will not leave you nor forsake you. God will give you a breakthrough in your life as you trust in Him, as you have faith in Him.

Beware of Mammon

In 1 John 2: 15, Do not love the world, nor the things in the world, if anyone loves the world, the love of the father is not in him.

Mammon is the pursuit of worldly things and pleasure which hinder many people from loving God and serving Him passionately.

It is placing your trust in the uncertain riches more than your trust in God. Mammon itself is evil. Mammon is a demonic spirit that says, you do not need God, you do not need to trust and worship God. All you need is to trust and worship the uncertain riches and things of life.

Mammon is the reason why many men and women live in rebellion and lawlessness against God.

It is a god of this age which divert people's attention and love from God by making them to lust after worldly things and pleasures which lead to the damnation of their souls in hell fire.

Matthew 6: 33 says, Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and every other things shall be added unto you.

The pursuit of mundane and vanity things of life is an obstacle to the prosperity and redemption of God for mankind.

So, we are to beware, we must beware of mammon, greed for wealth, avarice.

John 3: 2 says, Beloved, I wish you above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in good health even as your soul prosperous.

Dear listener, the will of God for your life is to be prosperous and successful in life. You are not to allow things to distract and move you away from the plan of God for your life.

Lust and desperation for riches outside God's will can move you completely from God. A life given to mammon is a life void of God. It is a life filled with unhealthy rivalry, pride, competition with others. A life that is always comparing himself with other people's achievement. It is a life filled with sorrow, greed and dissatisfaction. God is absent in the life of those who live for mammon.

No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to one and despise the other according Matthew 6: 24.

You cannot serve God and mammon. Mammon is against God. Mammon is an obsession, lust for things. It gives people false confidence that they are sufficient without God. It provides men and women with fleeting security and happiness hindering them from submitting to the will of God.

They prioritize money over the free gift of salvation that God has given them.

Mammon is a stronghold, thats why you need to beware of mammon. It can lure and trap you into greed, into compromise and covetousness.

There are many avarice and covetous people in the world today because they lack godliness and contentment.

1 Timothy 6: 16, Godliness with contentment is a great gain.

Reject the Spirit of mammon and embrace contentment. Joy, peace and stability of God will be yours, only when you are content and grateful for all you have. Struggles continues as you pursue unrighteous riches. Why is it that many are pursuing unrighteous mammon? To make an impression in their society, they struggle to acquire wealth just to impress people who do not care about them and what they have.

Why will you continue to live your life to please people instead of living to please God, your maker? You can not afford to lose your peace because of the pursuit of mammon.

Mammon is evil, it leads to idolatry. It makes people to replace God with worship of money and things, vanity things of life, mundane things of life, thats what so many people are pursuing today.

Come out of idolatry. It will cost you your peace and eternity with God.

To overcome mammon, how do I do to overcome mammon in my life? How do I live a life of victory over mammon?

1, Place God above money, things and people.

2, Seek for deliverance to get rid of the Spirit of mammon. You must seek for deliverance and prayers.

3, Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

4, Seek the salvation of your soul.

5, Be contented with what you have. Live a life of contentment.

6, Let God be your source. Let God be the source of your life, the source of your provision, wealth and riches in life.

7, Live a life of humility and gratitude to God for where you are.
