Topic: The Love of God Never Fails [TREM Devotional 27 October 2018]
“Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away”. – 1 Corinthians 13:8 (NIV)
The Bible tells us that love never fails. Indeed it does not because God is love and God does not have any margin for failure. 1 John 3:1 says, “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us that we should be called sons of God. The manner of love is that the Father can look at us and say I love these ones. Stop looking at yourself from the natural standpoint. Your body is just your external case; it is the man on the inside that determines what the body does. Because when you walk in the love of God, you will be filled with the fullness of God.
That’s what Paul was praying for the church in Ephesus. In Ephesians 3:16, “That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by His spirit in the inner man”. Then in verse 19, “And to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.” The love of God passes knowledge. No human being can understand it. That God can partner with mortal man! What a love! God loves me. I am excited because God loves me. That means I must succeed!
Don’t abort your destiny out of ignorance. You are too loaded to fail. You will make it in life. Lines are falling unto you in pleasant places. You have a godly heritage. Your heritage is a heritage of success. You can’t fail. Live your life as somebody who cannot be defeated by circumstances. When you arrive, circumstances bow before you because of what you carry. You are heavily loaded and wired to succeed. You are ‘unkillable’. Don’t let the society determine for you. We are the ones to determine what happens. Go out there and succeed!
