THE POWER OF LOVE AND RECONCILIATION

 
September 19th 2018

“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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” - John 3:16-17


The greatest expression of God to the world is LOVE. It was by this token that God reconciled the world to himself through Jesus Christ. Jesus became the ransom for the reconciliation between God and man. Otherwise, we would have been totally destroyed by sin, disease, ignorance and poverty. God’s reconciliation brought peace and grace to man. Man and God are together in the ministry of reconciliation. This emphasis was made by Jesus when he gave the two greatest commandments in Mark 12:30 - 31. In obedience to these commandments, we must reciprocate God’s universal love by loving God, and by loving our neighbours. Also, in Mathew 5:24, Jesus says we must reconcile with our brothers before we can make offering. Today, the word of God is telling you to express love.


Love is the key to our individual and collective healing. Through love, God brought peace, healing and forgiveness to us. The love of God through Jesus removed suffering and death from the world. It is now your turn to restore God’s love on earth through reconciliation with one another. This is very important in order to remove suffering and deaths from our families and the world at large. When the power of love overcomes selfishness, the world will experience a supernatural shift that will usher in a new age where justice, righteousness and love will dominate individual and collective ideologies. On that day, Love will take the place of vengeance, hate, envy, jealousy and quest for power.


Prayer
Father in the name of Jesus Christ, today I tap into thy Spirit which lies deep in my soul. I express pure love like never before. Lord, by the power in the blood of Jesus Christ and his righteousness, I reconcile and make peace with all things, whether on earth or in heavens. I give willingly of myself and my treasure to serve the greatest needs of your kingdom and to the service of humanity. Father by thy power, I declare I am worthy to join in the ministry of reconciliation as a worthy servant in thy kingdom. Today, I declare it is well with me, and everything I hold dear is safe and well. AMEN.
