OVERWHELMING LOVE (1)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Overwhelming Love
(Psalms 100:4-5)
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.
a) The word used for mercy in the scripture above means loving-kindness, compassion, goodness, faithfulness, love, truth, justice, righteousness. This describes God’s character. God wants you to know and experience more of His goodness.
b) Many times the Lord confirms His lovingness in our lives but we can easily forget about those times. Sometimes we even fail to recognize miracles that the Lord does in our life. However, if you have a problem and pray about it then the problem disappears or is no longer a problem that was probably the loving-kindness of God at work in your life. Being thankful to God for every big and little blessing will cause more blessings to flow into your life.
c) The Bible says in Romans 2:4 that it is “the goodness of God that leads you to repentance”.
d) Repentance is a change of mind from evil to good or from good to better. All of God’s goodness comes from His love. The greatest need in the world is for people to know the love of God. God wants you to really know He has a personal love for you. Striving, insecurity, and fear come from not knowing God’s love for you. God wants to be your perfect Father, the One you already long for deep inside. You are made in the image of God that is why you have a deep need to love and be loved. You got that from your Father. When you begin to realize God’s love for you it will free you from comparing yourself to others. Your self worth will be based on what God says and you will be able to believe and receive His promises fully.
e) This is my prayer for you:
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God, (Ephesians 3:14-19).
