LOVE
Pastor Arthur Wilkerson

     There are times in our day to day living when the burdens and trials and the struggles weigh us down and we need a place to find comfort, to find rest for our souls, to hear a Word from the Lord Jesus whether we have professed Jesus as Lord and Savior and call ourselves Christians or whether we have not and have found nowhere else to go,  know this, Christ is waiting.

     The Bible is the inerrant Word of God and the words contained therein are Spirit and Life (John 6: 63).  Where the flesh profits nothing and when we have done all that we know to do and the inevitable end is failure or fading victory the Word of God is a very present help  (Psalms 46: 1) for the troubles ahead.

     Let’s face it we’re living in a time of uncertainty and it’s a  time for those that profess to be disciples of Jesus Christ to BE Disciples of Jesus Christ.  It’s time to get back to the foundational principles , the archaic values that made a Nation great and that will bring it’s people to a place of social and moral stability having faith in God  (In God We Trust) and a place of worshiping in spirit and truth where the inner man is purged unto eternal life through Jesus Christ.

     This “Word Of The Week”, I pray will help some that are not fully committed to Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven will commit themselves wholly to the Maxims of Christ and for those that don’t  know Jesus to seek Him for He is our Hope of glory. (Col. 1: 27)

     The first word is LOVE.  Why love?  We have chosen love to speak of  because there is such a loss of true love today and I find that there are those that really don’t believe that God loves them.  I’m here to let you know that God really does love you.  He loves you individually; He knows the very hair count on your head.  To uses a very familiar scripture:  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but should have everlasting life. (John 3: 16)   Not only does He love you, He will help you and He will be a refuge for you.  The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. (Psalm 9: 9). 

      So then, what is Love?   Love according to the dictionary is a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties and or the object of attachment, devotion, or admiration, also unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another.  Love in the Greek is agapao: much  great in quantity, amount, extent, or degree:  there is also phileo: to be a friend to (fond of  an individual ,that is, have affection for (denoting personal attachment, as a matter of sentiment or feeling; while a wider view is, embracing especially the judgment (social and moral) and the deliberate assent of the will as a matter of principle, duty and propriety: the two thus stand related very much as respectively; the former being chiefly of the heart and the latter of the head); specifically to kiss (as a mark of tenderness):—kiss, love.

      What these definitions are saying is that Gods Love is All in All, they (the definitions) confirm His love.  Because His love is so much for us, His creation,  He regardless of how He was treated and blasphemed sent Jesus the very essence of His being His Word incarnate to suffer and die  that you and I that we might be reconciled to Him.  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (I John 4: 10).  This means that through your believe and faith in Him, Jesus Christ, it doesn’t matter what place, state or time we’re in God want to be your friend.  He will be a refuge and a strong tower,  in Christ there is rest for your soul because He cares for you.  Looking to the Cross of Calvary and the blood shed for us, we become kindred to Christ and one another in God’s Love.

   If you know the Lord Jesus, if you are in a back sliden condition (Hos. 14: 4) or if you don’t know the Lord Jesus you can come into His Love and be renewed, for His LOVE is eternal love.

Father, I pray in the name Jesus for all who would read this word and know that the place or state  they are in at this present time will eventually lead to destruction or compromise of the Word  with Satan.  I pray that they will come to you who Loves them and repent, ask for forgiveness that they might be saved and find their names written in the Lambs Book of life. Amen  (All Scripture are taken from the Old King James Bible)
