The Dimensions Of Love .
Tuesday, September 15th .
Pastor Chris
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted
and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is
the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of
Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the
fulness of God (Ephesians 3:17-19).
Our opening verse shows us four dimensions of God's love: the breadth, length, depth, and height of His love. How far can your love go? Can it pursue the worst of sinners? Can it go after the worst failures? Can it be stretched limitlessly?
Once, Peter asked Jesus, "...Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?" The Master's response was so inspiring; He said, "...I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven" (Matthew 18:21-22). This equals four hundred and ninety times a day. Imagine that someone offends you that number of times in one day, the Master says, "Forgive."
The Apostle Paul gave a touching testimony in 1 Timothy 1:13-14. He said, "I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious, but I obtained mercy of the Lord. His love reached out to me and rescued me from the path of destruction." How far can your love go? How much can you forgive?
Love never gives up. It's not easily provoked, neither does it take into account the offences of others. It forgives as many times as it's provoked. It knows no limits. No wonder Paul had to pray that God's people would comprehend the boundless, immeasurable, intimately infinite, and unconditional love of God. That revelation will change your life forever, and give you extraordinary boldness and confidence in life.
CONFESSION
Christ dwells in my heart by faith; I'm rooted and grounded in love, and able to comprehend the boundless, immeasurable, intimately infinite, and unconditional love of God. Thus, I'm filled with all the fulness of God! Amen.
Further Study: || Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. ||
|| 1 Corinthians 13:4 GNB Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; ||

Amid
rollercoasting fanfare, grandeur and hype the Guinness Brand
Ambassadors surprised and celebrated their own #madeofblack heroes in
Lagos and Enugu recently. While Olamide identified Tunde Adebanjo aka
Euro as his #madeofblack hero, Phyno celebrated Mr. Macdonald Ikem
Odenigbo aka DJ Good Noise as his.
Visiting
their heroes at their homes amid fanfare and pageantry, the duo
explained the rationale behind their choices. Olamide and Phyno stated
that it was important to recognize someone with a clear passion for
creativity, sacrifice and zeal to make a difference.
According to Olamide, Adebanjo was celebrated “because of his selfless contribution to humanity and the society. He has done a lot for his community and environment and that is what the Made of Black campaign is all about; redefining black not as a colour but as an attitude that inspires individuals, charging them to greater feats. Adebanjo is my hero; he is made of more, made of attitude, made of swag; simply he is made of black”.
For Phyno, Mr. Odenigbo is worthy to be celebrated because he is bold. He is a determined individual, who inspires others to greatness. Odenigbo, a music producer, rapper, director and a disc jockey is one of the originators of Igbo rap in the 1990s. With degrees in Mass Communication and Psychology, he has worked with the many hip hop artistes including: Tuface Idibia, Nigga Raw, Smart Man, Ill bliss and Obiwon.
The event was spiced by the presence of Ehiz, Doris Simeon, Seyi Law, DJ Xlusive,and DNMT, Nigeria’s top dance group.
