HE LOVES “ALL MEN”
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
The Bible says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). This is inarguably the best and greatest news on earth; that He loved us while we were yet sinners. And because of His love, He sent Jesus to save us from destruction, sin and judgement. Blessed be God!
Romans 5:6 says, “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” Oh, the strength of this communication from God! If He loved sinners then, He still loves them today. He didn’t die for Christians; He died for the ungodly—the hopeless, wicked sinners; people who hated God. If His work of salvation hadn’t been perfect or sufficient and He had to do it again, He’d have done it! That’s how strong His love is.
This is to let you understand the heart of God in this hour. When He sees Satan using men to destroy other men, He’s grieved. Even the very human instruments of Satan, the very people that Satan uses to destroy other men, God loves them! And He’d want them to turn away from their ignorance and recognize His love.
God loves men so much that He impresses upon us to intercede for them in their wickedness, ungodliness, ignorance, and in their sinfulness. In 1 Timothy 2:1, He makes praying for all men a priority: “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men.” This is so consistent with God’s love.
The first thing He thinks about in the earth is the value of every man. Before you pray for your needs, your work, etc., pray first for all men. He wants them to come to the knowledge of His love and His truth. 2 Peter 3:9 says He is unwilling that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Such amazing love!
PRAYER
Righteous Father, your love for all men is overwhelming, having demonstrated it through Christ’s vicarious death. I’m compelled by your love to preach the Gospel, and turn sinners from sin into righteousness and the glorious liberty of the sons of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN
I affirm that I am alive unto God! Every fibre of my being is inundated with divinity. The words that I speak are spirit and life; they’re operative, potent, and effectual, charting the course of my life in the direction of God’s divine purpose and destiny for me in peace, joy, fulfillment, health, success, and prosperity.
Hallelujah! I and the Father are one; I am a carrier and distributor of His blessing to my world.
Through me, the Father shows forth His manifold wisdom and demonstrates His excellent greatness. I am the seed of Abraham and the world belongs to me.
My family, workplace, neighbourhood, city, and nation are all blessed for my sake. I am powered by the Holy Spirit and the eyes of my understanding are enlightened to bring forth divine verities into the earth.
I am not of this world; I hail from God. I am from the government of heaven; thus, I can never be trapped by the rudiments of this world.
I am seated together with Christ in the heavenly places; far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. Blessed be God. Hallelujah!
God bless you
