TREM Devotional 14 February 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – What An Incredible Love
TOPIC: What An Incredible Love
“Be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love];” – Ephesians 3:18 (AMP)
Today is Valentine’s Day, and all over the world, everyone is celebrating love. Gifts are being exchanged, and different things are being done to commemorate the day. While all of these are good, because indeed it’s good to celebrate the people God has placed in your lives and to let them know that you love and appreciate them, I mean I am a firm believer in giving people their flowers while they are alive; however today, I want to remind you of a love that is unending and can never run out on you.
Our text paints a very vivid picture of this love. It says the love is so high, we can never get over it. It is so deep, reaching down to the deepest parts, therefore no matter how low we feel we have fallen, His love can still reach us right where we are. This love is so wide, it’s everywhere; oh what an incredible love God has for us His children.
The beautiful thing is that the love is not only for the believers. God loves the world, the question is are you ready to receive His love. His love for you is unconditional, iron-clad, blood-bought. He loves you just as you are where you are without any reservation. No matter how low you may have fallen, His love is reaching out to you; however, He will not force His love on you, accepting it is your choice. That is the only choice you have to make.
Beloved, that love is reaching out to you right where you are, right now. This love is healing you, it’s restoring you, it is wiping away the tears, it is providing for you, it is making a way for you even where there seems to be no way. All you have to do is just receive His love and thank Him for it.
