RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
THURSDAY, 28TH JUNE.
UNDERSTANDING THE FATHER’S LOVE.
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).
1 John 3:1 says, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.” The word, “bestowed” also means “lavished”; the Father has lavished His love on you. It’s love without limits.
Think about it: we who shouldn’t have been known of God, who shouldn’t have ever come close to God are now, as a result of the superabundant love He’s lavished upon us, accepted of Him. We’re now called the sons of God. What an amazing reality!
What is love? It’s that endearing value of a person that gives you a sense of his or her importance to you as the object of your favour. Therefore, that God loves you means you’re special and valuable to Him. This understanding will change your life and give you an extraordinary mentality.
Consider a man like David, who had a unique perception of the love of God; his understanding of the Father’s love made him think differently. In Psalm 23:1 for example, he said, “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” This alone lets you know what David thought about God, for which reason he was such a success, and his life, so victorious! He knew he was valuable to God, and the object of His favour.
Always take out time to meditate on the love of God. Think about His grace, kindness and the fact that if you were the only one on earth, the Lord Jesus would still have given His life for you. That’s how valuable you are to God. Dare to believe this and let it sink deep into your consciousness; it’ll change your life forever and give you a new confidence.
God loves you just the way you are. You didn’t have to “work” or impress Him to earn His love, for you could never earn it by your own works, but by grace. He chose to love you. All you have to do is accept His love as simply as it has come to you, and be conscious of His love for you always. Even now, lift your hands to Him and say, “Thank you Lord, for loving me with an everlasting love. Amen.”
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your love, and your grace upon my life. Thank you for making me the object of your grace, glory, and righteousness; my life is the expression of your praise, now and forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I affirm that I am a child of the King! The Spirit of God has ushered me into a place of rest, where everything is commanded to work together for my good. This is the morning of my life, and the anointing of God’s Spirit has set me apart for greatness! I have received abundance of grace, and the gift of righteousness; thus, I walk in increased grace, wisdom, and divine provisions. I am excellent and full of glory! My path is as the shining light that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day! I am living the life of dominion, power, and righteousness. Everywhere I go and in everything I do, I make progress with giant strides, by the power of the Spirit, and through the Word. I am the seed of Abraham; therefore, I walk daily in the light of my prosperity.
I have access to wealth untold, for I am plugged into God’s unending supply. Hallelujah! I function today and always with the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God. I increase more and more in knowledge and in sound judgment, able to discern and function at all times in the centre of God’s will. My whole being is full of light, and I am making progress by the Word, and heaping up success upon success. Glory to God! Hallelujah!
