Expressing His Love To The World (Part 2)

Happy Sunday everyone,

Yesterday, I wrote on how to express the love of Christ in us to the world. Apostle James wrote on pure religion, and Jesus spoke on the last day when He comes how feeding the hungry, giving water to the thirsty, accommodating a stranger in need, clothing the naked, and visiting those in prison, (ref.: James 1:27; Matthew 25:31-46), all these for those in need are part of those things Sons of God are expected to do, but we see these things done by people who are not even Sons of God, so what exactly makes the actions of the Sons of God even different from that of any other person?

Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.” which means that the Sons of God haven’t been revealed to the world yet. Everyone who is born of God and has received the Holy Spirit has the life of God dwelling in them, and having God dwelling in them would imply that everywhere they go, they are to express the power of God. Acts 10:38 says, “how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.” Jesus did more than just visiting the orphanages, widows, prisoners, and other things, what He did was that He made use of the God-given power in Him by healing all those who were oppressed by the devil, healing the sick, performing miracles, bringing great transformation to the lives of people, bringing the dead back to life, and teaching all the Word of God. All these were what Jesus did, and He said the Sons of God would do more than what He did here on earth, (ref.: John 14:12).

In the Gospel of Mark 16:17-18, Jesus said, “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” These are signs Jesus said those who are Sons of God should possess.

The power of God through Jesus flow through the Sons of God, these anointing is not the ability of man, but Jesus performing signs and wonders through the Sons of God. So, when we see the sick we shouldn’t just visit them, rather we should heal them; when we see those demons possessed, we should cast out the demon in them, and other related to these because we have the fullness of Christ dwelling in us, all these should be done in love, thus expressing the love of Christ through us to the world.

Jesus said we should be the light of the world, He came as the light and said He is the light of the world, and if He is our light, the light we reflect is Himself through us. All our good deeds which we reflect to the world that makes them praise God is what Romans 8:19 is talking about, (ref.: Matthew 5:13-16; John 8:12). We must understand that nothing that we do through Christ has any meaning if it is not done in love, for love conquers all.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
