Topic :Love Not The World.

Memory Verse : 1 John 2:17. This world and its desires are in the process of passing away, but those who love to do the will of God live forever.

Bible Reading : 1 John 2:15-16 TPT. Key Verse : v15.

Don’t set the affections of your heart on this world or in loving the things of the world. The love of the Father and the love of the world are incompatible. For all that the world can offer us—the gratification of our flesh, the allurement of the things of the world, and the obsession with status and importance—none of these things come from the Father but from the world.

The desire of God is to have a love relationship with us as his children and creature. This love and preference for man by God was displayed from the beginning of creation. He revealed his love and preference for man by creating us after his likeness and image to dominate and subdue the earth . He also gave his breath to us that gave us life. He went ahead to place everything he created under the care and control of man to sustain him and make his life worthwhile. He placed man in Eden where he had everything he needed made available. Even when man sinned and was sent out of Eden and into his present life, God never abandoned him. He still had to send Jesus Christ, his one and only son to die for our sins, so that we can be restored to a life of close relationship with our creator and King. All this God did for the sake of love. John 3:16.

God expects us to reciprocate this love and preference he has showered on us by loving him in return. His intention is to provoke or unlock our own love for him by the love and care he displays over us. When we live contrary, it means that we are blind to God’s desire and plan for our lives and live as ungrateful creatures. Now our love for God can be measured by our level of commitment to him and obedience to his word or commands. ““You show that you are my intimate friends when you obey all that I command you. I have never called you ‘servants,’ because a master doesn’t confide in his servants, and servants don’t always understand what the master is doing. But I call you my most intimate friends, for I reveal to you everything that I’ve heard from my Father. You didn’t choose me, but I’ve chosen and commissioned you to go into the world to bear fruit. And your fruit will last, because whatever you ask of my Father, for my sake, he will give it to you!” John 15:14-16.

Today many people inside our churches are there for being sake. Most people are there because of what they intend to receive from God as to meet their earthly needs. Some mingle with the crowd intending get connection to quality men for selfish reasons. They don’t have any intentions to know God for themselves or cultivate a rewarding relationship with him. They live and reason like men in the streets and market places. Even when God is trying to use all kind of things and situations to get their attention, so that they can serve him, to remain unmoved. The reason is because they are neck deep into the world system that hates God his righteousness. They are being eaten up by unhealthy and ungodly worldly desires. This happens because they are in church, yet deep into the worldly system that is incompatible with God and his desires. They want to eat their cake and still have it back. The reason many are not experiencing growth in their spiritual life is because the world and the love of it chokes to death every word that supposed to build them up. Luke 8:14, 21:34.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for loving me and giving me Jesus to die to redeem my soul. Help also to die to the flesh and the world system, so that I can live the rest of my life to please you. Thank you for shedding your love abroad in my heart by your indwelling Spirit in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Acts 20:1-12.
