Scriptural reading:- 1John 5:1-21
TOPIC:- THE FATHER'S LOVE
TEXT:" Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15.The cure to the love for worldly things is the abiding of the father's love in the heart of a man. John the beloved, the apostle of Christ in our opening text revealed to us that the reason why people love the world is because the love of the father is not in them. When the revelation of how much the loves you hits you, you will naturally hate the things of the world in order to love Him back. Scripture says:"we love him, because he first loved us." (1Jn.2:19). But the problem of today's Christianity is that men want to love God without first receiving His love. No man can successfully despise the things of this world and love God, without first being a good recipient of God's love. According to scriptures, only beloved children imitate the father (Eph.5:1). You naturally possess the father's character by imitation when you know how much He loves you. Even in the natural world, when a child knows he/ she is dearly loved by the parents, he will want to always please them.
PRAYER
My father, my father, help me to realize how much you love me.
Good morning
