      Open Heavens Daily Devotional 24 December 2017 – Benefits of Supreme Love

      Open Heavens Daily Devotional 24 December 2017 – Pastor E.A. Adeboye

      TOPIC: Benefits of Supreme Love

      MEMORISE: He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. – John 14:21

      READ: John 14:20-23 (KJV)

      20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

      21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

      22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

      23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

      Open Heavens: A Matter of Choice

      BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 21-23, Zachariah 11:15-12:9

      HYMN: Sing Hymn 2: What A Friend We Have In Jesus

      Open Heavens 24 December 2017

      MESSAGE: One of the greatest invitations we have from the Lord Jesus Christ is the call to love Him. In Matthew 10:37 he says,

      “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.”

      This invitation is not just to love Jesus, but to love Him supremely. It is a call to love Him above everyone who is precious to us: parents, children, family and friends. If you truly love someone, you would be ready to defend your love for that person at any cost. Sometimes, when you love two different people and the two parties are in disagreement over an issue, you will find yourself supporting the person you love more against the one you love less. When the Lord’s instructions are in conflict with the beliefs of loved ones, most people would choose to please their loved ones rather than obey the Lord’s instructions. Do you love Jesus above everyone and everything else? Do you love Him above your career, work, academic pursuit, etc?

      Open Heavens: Ashamed of Your Faith?

      There are great benefits for those who love Jesus supremely. First, Jesus says they will be regarded as being worthy of Him. They will be qualified to carry His banner everywhere they go, and they are assured of the backing of the Most High God. Also, according to John 14:21, if you love Jesus supremely, God the Father will make you the target of His love and you will bask in it. In addition, the Lord will manifest Himself to you. Check out all those who experienced a manifestation of the Lord, like Saul of Tarsus; their lives never remained the same (1 Corinthians 15:5-8). Furthermore, John 14:23 says,

      “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”

      Open Heavens: Working Something Out

      From this scripture, another benefit of you loving Jesus supremely is that both Jesus Christ and God the Father will make your heart their permanent residence. If you experience the reality of this truth, you will enter into the realm of Heaven on earth, where no devil or demon dares to come near you (Deuteronomy 11:21). Are you satisfied with your relationship with the Godhead? Why stay where you are when you can take your love for Christ to the limits and have the Godhead fully living with you?

      KEY POINT: Love is so powerful! You can love God to the extent that He will personally come and introduce Himself to you.
