      Open Heaven 31 August 2019 Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – The Greatest of these is Love

      View Previous Open Heaven Devotional

      Topic: The Greatest of these is Love

      Memorise: “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” – 1 John 4:8

      Read: Matthew 22:35-40 (KJV)

      35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

      36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

      37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

      38 This is the first and great commandment.

      39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

      40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

      Bible in One Year: 2 Samuel 19-20, Ezekiel 42:15-43:12

      Open Heaven 31 August 2019 MESSAGE:

      Love can be defined as a strong feeling of deep affection for someone, emanating from a firm decision to love that person. The Bible offers us an understanding of the source, character and value of love based on nature and actions of God. It teaches that God is the source of love and that His very character is love. If you have ever been so deeply and passionately in love with someone to the point of obsession, you may actually lose your appetite and forget to eat. Your mind may become occupied of nothing else but that person. The object of your love is that last thing you think of when you go to bed and the first thing you think of when you wake up. It is clear from these descriptions that love involves the totality of a person. Love is central theme of the Bible, and it is a primary characteristic of God’s nature. It is also the fundamental demand that God places on mankind towards Him and fellow human beings.

      Previous: Open Heaven 30 August 2019 – The Power of the Tongue

      From the words of Jesus in today’s Bible reading, it is clear that we are expected to love God first with all our heart, soul and mind. However, we need to experience the love of God in our hearts before we can truly appreciate what true love is, and only then can we demonstrate this love to others. The love of God is revealed in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as stated in John 3:16, which says:

      “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.”

      Out of love, God gave His only begotten Son as ultimate ransom for the salvation of humanity. He now commands everyone who has partaken of His love to reciprocate it by loving one another. Speaking in John 15:12, the Lord Jesus Christ said:

      “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.”

      The Bible makes it very clear that love is revealed through action, especially what is done in the interest of others. Children of God should never be identified with envy, hatred, pride, selfishness or any form of wickedness, as all these are contrary to the nature of God they possess. We should naturally show forth gentleness, goodness and kindness to our neighbors. As Christians, let us always radiate the love of God with meekness, patience and joy. Love is greater than all spiritual gifts, as the best of these gifts is useless without love. 1 Corinthians 13:2 says:

      “And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.”

      Beloved, are you walking in the love of God?

      Open Heaven 31 August 2019 Prayer Point:

      Father, please help me to love You with all my heart, soul and mind in Jesus’ Name.

      Open Heaven 31 August 2019 Hymn 9: In Christ Alone

      1 In Christ alone my hope is found
      He is my light, my strength, my song
      This Cornerstone, this solid ground
      Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
      What heights of love, what depths of peace
      When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
      My Comforter, my All in All
      Here in the love of Christ I stand.

      2 In Christ alone, who took on flesh
      Fullness of God in helpless babe
      This gift of love and righteousness
      Scorned by the ones He came to save
      ‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
      The wrath of God was satisfied
      For every sin on Him was laid
      Here in the death of Christ I live.

      3 There in the ground His body lay
      Light of the world by darkness slain
      Then bursting forth in glorious Day
      Up from the grave He rose again
      And as He stands in victory
      Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
      For I am His and He is mine
      Bought with the precious blood of Christ

      4 No guilt in life, no fear in death
      This is the power of Christ in me
      From life’s first cry to final breath
      Jesus commands my destiny
      No power of hell, no scheme of man
      Can ever pluck me from His hand
      Till He returns or calls me home
      Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.
