LOVE REDEFINED

LOVE REDEFINED (The motivation for creation)

1John 4:8;16, Psalms 8, Gen 1:26-31

The first book of the Holy Scriptures reveals to us the records of the events of creation. It reveals to us how God lighted the dark places of the earth, gave form to the formlessness and filled up the emptiness of the earth. After all these, we realised that God did all He did just to make the earth habitable for man and for man to be the king and authority over the earth as long as he subject himself to the authority of his creator.

One day, as I was meditating on the concept of biblical creation of man and the earth, I was moved to ask the Holy Spirit for the inner motivation that propel God to create man and grant him such privileges. The Holy Spirit made me realised that actions are reflection of the true nature of the actor. The creation of man was born out of the hunger of God for an object of love by reason of His nature as the Love God. Creation was just a reflection of the Love nature of God. He was hungry for someone upon whom He can lavish His love and resources to prove His Love nature. Love isn't perfect if we have a subject of love without an object of love.

The nature of God made Him to act out in love. Who you are inside will determine what you will reflect outside. Your heart will determine your acts. Permit me to confront you today with the fact that you cannot claim to love if you do not possess the nature of the Love God in you. God is Love and until you are born of God, you possess the nature of the devil. It is impossible for the devil to love. Even his agents will end up in the fire with him. He does not have the capacity to love likewise you if you are not born again.

May I warn someone reading this piece today that no one can truly love you if it is not Christ that is loving you through such a person. The heart of an unregenerate man is deceitful and full of darkness and the heart will determine the acts. The person may claim to be loving but it is all deceit and wouldn't last. The son of a devil is a devil. Always remember this.

Prayer: Father please help me to understand the true nature You possess and represent. Help me live my life with the consciousness of Your heart within and let Your nature be made my reality
Amen!!!
