Love! Love!! Love!!! Part 4

For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus) that whosoever believes in Him (Jesus) should not perish but have everlasting life. - John 3:16

I continue on the Love series from the exposition of John 3:16;

we have come to understand that the evidence of God's love is in Giving His Son for us. Giving out of love is the best way to give. When we give because we love, we tend to give our best. Abraham gave up Isaac because He love God. He takes a love to give your best. Cain didn't give his best.

You and I have a duty to give our best to the ones we love. The evidence that you love your family is when you give your best to them. The evidence you Love God is when you give your best to Him. Jesus is God greatest Giving to the world, this He did out of Love.

Preachers need to start teaching folks on how to fall in love with God so as to give Him the best. God GAVE His only begotten Son not out of pity or because we deserve it. He GAVE out of Love.

Giving is a subset of Love (Venn Diagram). Show me someone who has given his/her best and I will show you someone who is in Love. Do you Love to see a child taken off from the street, you will help. Do you love to see the church grow, you will give your resources. Do you love to live in a good and safe country, you will pay your tax. Love is an action word, you don't just speak it, you act it like God did.

A lover is a giver, if someone claim to love you and yet rarely gives his/her best, that person doesn't love you.

The Love series still continues, log onto www.thrivingwords.blogspot.com for the past posts on this series.

The world is loveless, it need love-full people to fill it with love. God showcased His love so are we also to.

It's another brand new day, show love to your loved ones....

Good Morning and have a beautiful Monday!

Music: I Want to Live (Download)

I have another favourite song from the stable of Dunamis Ministry led by Pastor Paul Eneche. The song is titled I want to live where you are.

Verse 1 I want to to live lord in the world of your Glory I want to live lord in the place where you are To stay away from the pressures & cares of this life. To stay away Lord from the ways of the world. (2*) Chorus I want to live oh Lord just right where you are. I want to stay oh Lord in your resting place Lead me away from things that keep me from you Separate me from the things Lord that hinders me.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive. When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value. Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva. When
