RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. LOVE- POWER: THE GREATEST FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE – PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME. MONDAY, JUNE 27TH.
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be
filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19).
Love
is the greatest power in the world. It’s the greatest force in the universe.
The Bible says God is love (1 John 4:8). Love raised Jesus Christ from the
dead. Love can bring forth anything you require for your life. Even now, the
love-power of God is present, but until you know the love of God, you can’t
know its power. Some people don’t experience the love of God because they’re
not certain that God loves them personally. A simple test can help you find
out. Ask yourself, “Do I love God?” If your answer is yes, then ask yourself
another question: “Is God as good as I am?” If again, your answer is yes, then
it means He’ll definitely love you, at the very least, as much as you love Him.
But God isn’t only as good as you are; He’s better.
His
love for you is unfathomable, unconditional, pure and eternal. He loves you
more than you could ever love yourself. In fact, you could never have loved Him
if you didn’t learn of His love. That’s why John the Apostle declared, “We love
him, because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19). Jeremiah 31:3 also says, “The
Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an
everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”
Our
opening verse says, “And to know the love of Christ…that ye might be filled
with all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:19). God’s purpose for our lives is
to be filled with His fullness, to be overflowing in His love, manifesting His
life, nature, character and power. That’s what the Lord Jesus was talking about
when He cried out in the temple, “He that believeth on me, as the scripture
hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). His
love-power flows from us to the world (Romans 5:5). It’s a fire that can’t be
quenched (Song of Songs 8:7), an overcoming power that crushes fear (1 John
4:18) and every evil work. Walk in the fullness of this love-power.
PRAYER
Dear
Father, I thank you for granting me revelation knowledge of the dimensions of
your love; the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, thereby filling me
with your fullness. I’m rooted and grounded in love, and my heart overflows
with the love of Christ. I manifest and radiate your glory to my world today,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER
STUDY: || Ephesians 3:17-19 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that
ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all
saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know
the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all
the fullness of God. ||

1 John 4:10, 16, 18
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.
16 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.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. ||
