God’s Love For Mankind

By -
Hi guys and welcome to today’s inaugural show of ‘In Search of God’ that is all about finding and knowing our God. God loves us so much but sadly for most of us we are not aware or do not really appreciate the extent and depth of this love. We are told of this love in John 3:16 that says, ‘For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son…’. Can you just imagine that for a minute, God sending His Divine Son to live like a man, a creature lower than angels ,and not only live but to experience a shameful death of a at the cross that He did not deserve at all and worse still to bear the sins of mankind, heaped upon Him at the cross and suffer separation from the Father, something that had not happened since the beginning of time. Now why does God do that, why does He put His Son through all this, ‘… so that whoever believes in Him, the Son, should not perish but have eternal life.’ In other words, to redeem the fallen and oppressed, that is us and free us from the consequences and power of sin. How sweet is that, how awesome that God loves me even when I am a rebellious sinner still, then how much more will He love me when I come to Him, seek Him with all my heart, soul and mind. I don’t know about you but this just leaves me in awe like King David to wonder what I am to Him that God should care so much for me and ransom me from the Devil with the blood of His only Son. The truth is that God cares for you and me now and personally, He knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb, and He is reaching out to you and all you have to do to access this boundless love of the Father is to make a choice. Make a choice to believe in His Son, Jesus the Christ, the one that loved you so much that He set aside His Divinity and lived on earth as man, took up your sins and punishment and laid down His life for yours. Today as you think about God’s love for us let us also love others because God is love and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God and whoever does not love is not of God because God is love. Let us who are the body of Christ and have been filled with the boundless love of our God share this love with those that are feeling all alone, unloved and deserted so that we can share in their burden with them and also share with them the love and peace of God that has been given freely to us. Talk to us, let us know when and how you have experienced God’s love in your life. Until next week get to know of this God who loves you more intimately and experience it for yourself.

Giving Praise to God

By -
we need to take time and be thankful to the Lord for all the things he has done in our life, the blessings he has poured on us, the afflictions he has prevented us from suffering, the courage he has given us to face difficult times, the solace he gave us when we were sorrowful, and the gift of forgiveness and eternal life. Our God is a compassionate and gracious God and we need to rejoice and be glad in it. We should honor God with songs of praise for even the angels honor him with song in heaven. It is good that in most churches before they start the service, they honor God with songs of praise and worship. These songs not only honor God but uplift us, they give us hope, they empower us and remind us of our loving Father, Our Saviour, Our redeemer, Our comforter. David put it best in Psalms 103:1-5, ´Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins, and heals all your di

God of the Heart

Mark 12:38-40, ‘As He taught Jesus said, “Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted in the market places, and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at the banquets. They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. Such men will be punished most severely.’ God is a God of the heart. He sees and judges what our motives are rather than our outward appearances. As men, we can deceive each other, living well scripted lives that portray us to be one way, earning the praise and honor of men, but deep down we know the truth about ourselves, we can fool everyone and anyone but ourselves and God. We need to aspire to live like David, only for God. We need to put His purpose above ours. We need to live by His will and not ours. We need to be men and women after God’s hearts. Only then can we live in truth and light. Only then can our actions when passed through the fire of judgment stand. Let

God´s Amazing Grace

By -
Hebrews 2:14-18, ´Since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death – that is, the devil – and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels He helps, but Abraham´s descendants. For this very reason He had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service of God, and that He might make atonement for the sin of the people. Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are tempted.´ This scripture reveals the reason why Jesus the Christ had to come to die on earth, it was for me, a wretched sinner, so that I could be freed from the hold of the devil and sin through and in Him therefore overcoming death because He paid the price or requirement of the law in my place that required my death as wages for my sins. Through Him, I a
