FAITH CAPSULE:\u00a0<\/strong>If anyone desires to love God, God will deposit such with what it takes to love God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 John 5 <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you love God?
What does it mean for you to have love for God?
Many songs have been composed about love for God among the believers and non-believers.\u00a0
Among such is the song that says,\u00a0\u201cOh how I love Jesus 3x because He died for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>
Have you taken some time out to search your heart if you love God?\u00a0
Do you love God?\u00a0
What does it mean to love God?
LOVING GOD
1 John 5:3, \u201cFor this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
Keeping the commandment of God is living by the command of God, either doing His will or being obedient to His will.\u00a0
It takes sacrificial commitment to the commandment of God.\u00a0
Loving God is a sacrifice.\u00a0
Sacrifice is not cheap but costly.\u00a0
King David once stated in\u00a02 Samuel 24:24, \u201cNo, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God with that which costs me nothing.\u201d So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
King David was responding to Araunah when he offered David a free land to make a sacrifice to God.\u00a0
The sacrifice was to deliver the children of Israel from death caused by the census ordered to be conducted by David.\u00a0
The census violated the command of God.\u00a0
The rejection of free land from Araunah was a clear demonstration of what a costly sacrifice before God should be.\u00a0
Engaging in a costly sacrifice is a proven mark of love for God.\u00a0
With God, there is a standard for every area of His expectation for all.\u00a0
God did not just ask for love but gave all a standard of acceptable love as stated in\u00a0Deuteronomy 6:5, \u201cYou shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
To love God is to give Him all.\u00a0
Through the pages of the Bible, men and women who gave Him all were able to live a fulfilled life and accomplish great exploits to the glory of God.\u00a0
Men like Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, and other giants loved God and were able to do great exploits.\u00a0
The approaching of the giant in the hand of God concerning the issues of life depicts what it is to love God with all of their heart, soul, and strength.\u00a0
God has not asked all that is not doable.
Are you willing to love God?
To love God should not be a word of the mouth alone, but to love is rooted in the heart.\u00a0
If anyone desires to love God, God will deposit such with what it takes to love God.
Love God and have life in Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer for today:\u00a0<\/strong>Ask to be enabled to love God in ways of living.<\/em>
Also, pray against the spirit that causes one to cease loving God.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
