Understanding the GREATEST LOVE

 "GREATER LOVE has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John  15:13).

The Lord Himself indicated that there are levels of love. When Jesus Christ died for our sin on the Cross He manifested the greatest love.

On the love scale, so to speak, the love of God for humanity is perfect. Anyone who is in Christ has entered into the perfect and unconditional love of God. Nothing can separate them from it.

God met our greatest need by His greatest love. He saved us from sin, death and the power of Satan. How then can His love fail us now? That's the question of Paul.

"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him ALSO freely give us all things?" (Romans  8:32).

If when God knew that we were dead and lost in sin it didn't stop Him from investing His own Son for our salvation; why should an accusation of sin by the enemy stop Him from forgiving us now that we are in Christ? Why should it stop Him from healing and giving us victory now?

The unconditional love of God is the foundation of our relationship with Him. He laid the foundation for our good. He laid it all by Himself at His own expense. That's why we have no right whatsoever to doubt or question God's love for us. It will cause us to be defeated.

But there is a way to know that we are safe in His love. If we want to continue to enjoy the unconditional love of God we must also continue to give it to others unconditionally. 

"WE KNOW that we have PASSED from death unto life, because we LOVE the brethren. He that loves not his brother ABIDES in death." (1 John  3:14).

That is why forgiveness is such a big deal with God. We must love and forgive others always. The Lord has clearly said to us that we must forgive others four hundred and ninety times a day if they offend us. Implying that you can ask God for forgiveness four hundred and ninety times a day. You must be mad to be that sinful.

Be smarter than the enemy. He knows that he cannot separate you from the love of God. But he also knows that you can separate yourself from the love of God. That is the purpose of the pressure he is applying through people and your circumstances.

So please do not put on a religious glass as you read this post. 

✓ Believe in the love of God.

✓ Forgive yourself.

✓ Forgive those you have perceived to have hurt you 

✓ Go to God and receive forgiveness. 

He is waiting for you. He will heal you. He will give you the victory. This is your day of freedom!

"WHO SHALL SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF CHRIST? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.  

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that LOVED US.  

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,   

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans  8:35-39).

Giving That Honors God

Giving That Honors God Restoring the Biblical Priority of Caring for the Poor Rediscovering God's Heart Through Our Offerings - By Nicholas Uanikhoba Introduction: A Call for Scriptural Balance In many churches today, teachings on giving often focus on ideas like “sowing into ministries” or planting “seeds of faith.” Yet these messages can easily become detached from the real and immediate needs of the poor. While it’s entirely biblical to support ministries, it’s troubling that giving to the poor — which Scripture so directly connects to the heart of God — is often neglected. The Apostle Paul provides a much-needed corrective. Contrary to popular belief, many of Paul’s teachings on generosity — especially in 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9 — were not about funding his own ministry, but rather about raising relief for suffering believers, particularly those in Jerusalem. Understanding these texts in their original context brings us back to the biblical center. 1. Paul’s Com...

Leadership and the Power of Covenants: Lessons from Saul, David, and the Gibeonites

Introduction: Leadership as a Sacred Trust Leadership is more than a position—it is a covenant responsibility. Whether in government, business, or ministry, true leadership requires  wisdom, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility.  Every decision made by a leader  creates a ripple effect , sometimes impacting future generations in ways unseen at the time. The story of  King Saul’s broken covenant and its consequences  in  2 Samuel 21:1-7  offers  powerful leadership lessons . It reveals how  poor leadership choices—whether made in zeal or ignorance—can bring lasting repercussions . On the other hand, King David’s response shows the  hallmarks of a wise and just leader  who seeks guidance, upholds justice, and values integrity. If you are in a leadership role— whether leading a family, a company, a church, or a nation —these insights are for you. A Leader’s Actions Have Lasting Consequences 1. Ignorance is No Excuse ...

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness Uncovering the Hidden Cause of Division and Defilement By Nicholas Uanikhoba “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.” – Hebrews 12:14, 15 (NKJV) What Is Spiritual Etiology? In medicine, etiology is all about tracing where a disease started. Now, imagine looking at our spiritual lives the same way—tracking down the roots of inner and relational struggles. Bitterness isn’t just a fleeting emotion. Scripture describes it as a root—hidden, slow-growing, but eventually powerful enough to wreak serious havoc. Like any root, it does its damage underground before its effects ever surface. And when it does, it brings conflict, chaos, and even spiritual contamination. That’s the essence of spiritual etiology: peeling back the layers to find whe...
