VALENTINE DAY OR GREATER LOVE DAY – LET’S CALL IT “AGAPE DAY” (JOHN 15:13)

14055. VALENTINE DAY OR GREATER LOVE DAY – LET’S CALL IT “AGAPE DAY” (JOHN 15:13)

TODAY IS A STRANGE DAY OF CARNALITY. I DIDN’T KNOW AND IT IS OFF MY RECORD, RABBONI WIPED IT OUT BY HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD WHICH HE SHED FOR ME AT CALVARY. IT WAS MY DAUGHTER FROM ZIMBABWE WHO REMINDED ME THAT TODAY IS VALENTINE DAY

MAY BE WHAT WE SHOULD DO IS TO RENAME THIS DAY NOT AFTER THE NAME OF ANY MORTAL MAN BORN OF WOMAN, MAY BE WE SHOULD CALL THIS DAY “GREATER LOVE DAY” OR “AGAPE DAY”
JOHN 15:13: “GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS.”

VALENTINE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR JUST ONE PERSON WHO LOVED HIM. JESUS MY SAVIOUR LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD THAT HATED AND CRUCIFIED HIM TO DEATH.

IT SHOULD BE A DAY TO ABIDE IN HIS GREATER LOVE. GOD IS LOVE AND JESUS IS THE EXPRESSION OF THAT 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)

GOD DIDN’T JUST “LOVE” THE WORLD, HE “SO LOVED” THE WORLD!

LOVING IS GIVING BUT NOT AN ORDINARY GIVING. GOD GAVE THE ONLY THING HE HAS HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. THAT’S INCREDIBLE AND ETERNAL SACRIFICE! LOVE IS NOT JUST GIVING BUT SACRIFICIAL GIVING!

HEAR ME AND HEAR ME WELL TODAY. LOVE IS SACRIFICE, ANY LOVE THAT CANNOT PAY THE PRICE OF LIVING AND PAINFUL SACRIFICE IS NOT TRUE LOVE!

I DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU GO TO SEEK YOUR PLEASURES ON VALENTINE’S DAY BUT MY GREATEST PLEASURE ON A DAY LIKE THIS IS TEAR-JERKING MEDITATIONS ON THE SACRIFICIAL PAINS OF YAHWEH WHO PAINFULLY LET GO HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON IN ORDER TO SAVE ME!

FOR YOU IT MAY BE SEEKING THE CARNAL AND ROMANTIC PLEASURES IN THE BODY OF ONE MAN, OR WOMAN, OR A SPOUSE, BUT FOR ME, I CAN’T LEAVE THIS ALTAR OF PAINS WHICH BROUGHT THE GREATEST GAINS TO MY LIFE AS A LOVER OF RABBONI.

SEEK WHATEVER LOVE YOU WANT TODAY, BUT AS FOR ME, I AM SEEKING ONLY THE BRIDEGROOM BECAUSE I AM HIS VIRGIN BRIDE! AND I KNOW HE WOULD APPEAR ANY MOMENT LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT. I DON’T WANT TO BE CAUGHT UNPREPARED BY MY BRIDEGROOM, LIKE THE 5 FOOLISH VIRGINS! I WILL WAIT FOR HIM! I WILL LIVE FOR HIM. MY OIL OF LOVE SHALL BE RENEWED AND REPLENISHED BY HIM TODAY. EVEN IF HE’S NOT COMING TODAY, HE WOULD POUR FRESH OIL OF HIS LOVE UPON MY SOUL AND MY CUP SHALL RUNNETH OVER! I WILL NOT BE CAUGHT IN THE FRENZIED CARNALITY OF THE BROKEN WORLD THAT KNOWS NOTHING BUT HEARTBREAKS! I’M SOLD-OUT TO MY RABBONI’S LOVE MORE THAN EVER BEFORE ON AN AGAPE DAY LIKE THIS.

THERE ARE FOUR LOVES. WHICH ONE ARE YOU PRACTISING TODAY? THE WORD “LOVE” IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE DERIVED AND IS A COMBINATION OF FOUR DIFFERENT BUT RELATED ANCIENT GREEK WORDS.

1. ÉRÕS
2. STORGĒ
3. PHILIA
4. AGÁPĒ

1. ÉRÕS IS PASSIONATE, ROMANTIC OR SEXUAL LOVE
2. STORGĒ IS FAMILIAL LOVE, THAT IS, PARENTAL LOVE TOWARDS CHILDREN AND VICE VERSA. FATHERLY, MOTHERLY, BROTHERLY, SISTERLY LOVE.
3. PHILIA IS FRIENDSHIP LOVE, LIKE BEST FRIENDS, BUDDY LOVE
4. AGÁPĒ IS UNCONDITIONAL SELFLESS LOVE, OF GOD FOR MAN AND MAN FOR GOD, AND MAN FOR MAN.

WHEN A PERSON MENTIONS “LOVE” IT COULD MEAN ANY OF THOSE FOUR GREEK WORDS. WHEN LOVE IS NOT UNDERSTOOD, IT COULD BE ABUSED. ABUSE MEANS “ABNORMAL USE”. LOVE CAN BE ABUSED IF IT IS NOT UNDERSTOOD.

ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS WHO HAS BEEN A VICTIM OF MARRIAGE FAILURE CAME INTO MY INBOX ASKING ME TO TEACH HER ABOUT PHILIA, ÉRÕS AND AGAPE.

WHEN I ASKED HER TO TELL ME THE LITTLE SHE KNEW ABOUT THAT SUBJECT, THIS IS WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY:
“In most marriages there’s is only Érõs, no wonder problems don’t end, such marriages eventually end in divorces.”
“Once a marriage relationship is built on Érõs alone, chances that it will fail are extremely high.”
“Philia is equally very important in a marriage, if you have Philia in your marriage, one will not look elsewhere for friendship or say marriage is boring. Lack of Philia eventually makes a marriage boring”
“Érõs is just romance and sex, it’s not enough. Érõs can’t sustain relationships. It must go beyond Érõs. If it must be enduring and EVERLASTING”

HOW DO I ABIDE IN HIS GREATER LOVE TODAY? BY ABIDING IN GREATER WORD.
JOHN 1:1-3:
1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD.
2. The same was in the beginning with God.
3. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM; AND WITHOUT HIM WAS NOT ANY THING MADE THAT WAS MADE!
VERSE 14
14. AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD MADE FLESH. WHEN YOU ABIDE IN HIM, IN HIS WORD, YOU ABIDE IN GREATER LOVE.
