Timeless Truth
With Pastor Tope Oyeneye
The God Kind Of Love
Scripture.
2 Samuel 12:24 KJV
"And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him".
Message:
Yesterday, we established the fact that God loved Solomon unconditionally and without reservation. Solomon had not done anything, neither did he know his left from his right when God expressed His love towards him and even gave him a name. At birth, the Scriptures confirmed the love of God to him.
I want you to take note of the fact that, God did not just love Solomon, but Solomon too loved God back. Solomon loved God until his wives turned away his heart from God. This is the way God loves us too, but He wants His love to be reciprocated. God wants us to love Him back, He does not just want His love to end with us.
The Bible says in 1 Kings 3:3 KJV, "And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places". The love of God teaches us how to love God, love ourselves, love our neighbours and beyond these, it also teaches us how to love our enemies.
The love of God empowers us to walk in His commandments. Jesus said, if you love me, you will obey my commandments. The God kind of love is a selfless kind of love, it is not a selfish love. It puts others into consideration and does not go about hurting or cheating others. As you celebrate valentine today, refuse to hurt God, yourself or others.
