THE LOVE OF CHRIST

 


Pastor Cheri Isioma Ajufo 

 

Jesus came to this world because of YOU!

How many of us are aware of that?
He came for you and all He did was for you.

When we think about His vicarious death, on the cross, we find out all he did had a reason.
He said to Pilate,
...To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. John 18:37
He had a reason for coming.

He didn’t come to suffer and show us that we have to suffer very much then remain that way until He comes.

He didn’t die as a matyr, He died as a Sacrifice, your Sacrifice, our Sacrifice. A matyr dies for his beliefs, a sacrifice dies for others. He didn’t die for what He believed, He died for you. Praise God!

Jesus loves you more than you could ever imagine or think. He knows how to make you happy. He’s more willing and concerned for your happiness, peace, and joy, than you could ever be for yourself.

When you are conscious of all these, you'll never have a blue day, you will cease from all struggle

He’s the living love of God manifested. When you see Jesus, you have seen the Father.
God is Love.
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and He that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16
So God is Love. Jesus is Love.

Jesus made salvation possible. He made it possible for you to enjoy and receive salvation.
This is the news, the Good News we are sharing today. Salvation is free, Jesus brought salvation and the time to receive this salvation is now. Hallelujah!
You were precious to God, so precious, this is why He sent Jesus. So you are not a nobody, you are somebody special, loved and cherished by God.
He 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. John 3:16

God loves you so much. You are the reason Jesus did all that He did.
The reason for this season is YOU!
How special I am.
All this for me?
You can ask Him, "Dear Jesus, all this for me?"

You sure know it's Yes.

Hallelujah!

God has proved His love for us, now it's time to also show others love.
You have people around you whom you know need care and comfort, get these provisions available to them. It may not be much. It may be foodstuffs or provisions, get it to them, let them have a memorable Christmas.
Christmas is not complete if you do not make someone else happy. Hallelujah!

Today everyone is celebrating Christmas, Christians and non-Christians, the whole earth is celebrating Jesus.
Jesus was born and lived to die that we may live. So we celebrate life as we celebrate.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Many are still waiting for the Messiah, but Jesus has come
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for He hath visited and redeemed his people,
And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
Luke 1:68-69.
He was sent to give the world salvation. Praise God!

Hallelujah! Christ has come. So exciting! Christ has come!
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11

The King of kings and Lord of lords is born!
The beautiful part of it all is, I am found in Him, you can’t find me anywhere else because I am in Him.

I am a joint-heir together with Him
I am a partaker of His divine nature
Born anew, born fresh, born with His very life and nature in me
His hands in my hands, His legs in my legs, His feet in my feet
Hallelujah! Jesus is all over me!

I go with this mind-set today as I celebrate! Glory to God.
I celebrate the King today! Hallelujah!

Lift up your hands and worship Him.

Today is Christmas, let's sing this Christmas song together. Sing to anyone around you.

We wish you, a merry Christmas!
We wish you, a merry Christmas!!
We wish you, a merry Christmas!!!
And a Happy New Year!

Sing it as many times as you want.

God bless you!
