EMULATE GOD'S PURE LOVE FOR MAN

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD, AMEN

DATE:  SATURDAY 25th DECEMBER

TOPIC: EMULATE GOD'S PURE LOVE FOR MAN

TEXT: ROMANS 5: 1-8

Key verse: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God's pure love is the reason for the season. The greatest love you can show at this festive season is to embrace and emulate God's pure love in salving man from sin, Satan and sicknesses. Pure love is based on the word of God. Love people and seek their welfare because God says so, not for selfish reasons. 

Pure love comes with feelings of sympathy as you put yourself in that person's situation and feel it. If someone has not eaten for days will you not feel it? Suppose it was you. Suppose someone is down with the sickness. You feel for him knowing what it feels like. Again, in cases of bereavement, you empathize with the bereaved and offer assistance to them.

Again, love moves with acts of charity and giving. Love will give. That's why love entertains and empathizes. Love entertains, gives because you feel you sympathize you want to help, you want to do your part. You want to contribute. That's what love will do. 

Again, love has the emotions of joy. You love a person you feel joyful with whatever is going on around him, you feel joyful about what he says. The word of that person makes you feel happy. You feel happy to hear their utterances because of love, you hear him relate with him. 

Again, love goes with kind words, kind actions, gentleness and meekness. That is what love does. Love makes you gentle in the presence of your lover and that makes your lover feel happy. The one that is loved feels happy. The one that you love feels happy. So, that is how love is. 

You are kind in words, you speak softly. You speak for the benefit of that person. That's because love is there. Again, love moves with friendliness. Love is friendly because you love, you draw closer. The Bible says that he that has friends must show himself friendly. 

Thought for the day: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, 
that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Song for the day: To God be the glory great things He has done

Bible reading for the day:  Haggai; Revelation 16.  #Horemow.

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
