RESTORATION TODAY
TUESDAY 14TH FEBRUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.

THEME: GOD'S LOVE IS FOR EVERYONE.

But God commandeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us?. Romans 5: 8.

God loves everybody, and He has a plan and a purpose for every life and yours is not an exception. For God so loved the world. (John 3: 16) applies to all of us.

Don't believe the devil's lie that you aren't important enough to be singled out for blessing from among the billions on earth. Don't believe the lie that you are too weak, too sinful, or too scared to merit the Lord's love. How do I know that God thinks you are special Jesus Christ died for you. Because of the heavenly Father's love for the world, He sent His Son to die on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of everyone living in the past, present, or future.

None of us deserve the Father's care and protection, but thankfully, deserving isn't the basis for His love. In fact, God's very nature is love, which He demonstrated through Christ's death while we were yet sinners (Romans 5:8; 1John 4: 8). God cares so much for His children that He gives each one a place in His plan for the world. Believers are gifted with the talents and attributes needed to carry out His purpose (1Corinthians 12: 11).

However, Christians who consider themselves exempt from His love aren't looking for the opportunities He sends. They are too distracted by Satan's lying voice.
