The Nature of God’s Love
A friend of mine has taken it upon himself to remind everyone on his chat list about the love of God, daily. So I began to wonder what God’s love is about. Although this is an inexhaustible topic, we will be looking at a few characteristics of this love. God’s love gives us the ability…

We Love Because He First Loved Us
God is love, indeed, no one could understand the concept better than Him. He, through Jesus, gave us a prototype. Jesus is every believer’s role model, so our lives must be modeled after him. He showed us how to love and now we have the right to do so. We love because He first loved…

Once Struck
In the book of Exodus, we see a typology of Christ (Exo. 17: 5-6). The children of Israel complained about their thirst and God instructed Moses to strike a rock once and water would come out.

Love Like Christ

WINNING THROUGH LOVE: Increasing the fold.
Jesus was asked about the greatest commandment of all and He replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets…

WINNING BY LOVE: Jesus’ love and our victory.
Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything! Rom 8:37 TPT Our victory is not really a focus on God’s power, since He without any doubt has greater power…
