It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever wondered why God loves you so much? In spite of all you have done wrong in your life, the Lord still loves you. Knowing your deepest, darkest secrets, the Lord still loves you. The times when you plotted and scammed your way, the Lord saw it all and He still loves you. After the many negative thoughts you had running through your head, the Lord heard them and He still loves you. Have you ever attempted to measure your love for God against His love for you? No need right? As much as we need to improve in our relationship with the Lord, we will never equal His love for us. Think about it, how many of your children have you given to die for the sins and mistakes of mankind? That’s true love. The love of God went beyond mere words. He walked out His love for us.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. In life, there will be nights when we walk the floor with tears in our eyes. There will be “friends” who walk out on us because where we are going seems impossible to them. There will be occasional periods of loneliness and despair. You will lose loved ones and have to fight off the enemy’s attacks. These things will happen. However, even if all of this occurs, the Lord has completed the work in our lives. The Bible declares in John 17:4 – I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do. My friend, It Is Finished! Before you noticed any problems in your life, the solution was already made for you. Nothing in our lives are hidden from the Lord. He is all-seeing, all-knowing, and all-powerful. Even when you attempt to hide from the Lord, He knows where you are (Psalms 139:8).
My brother, my sister, what are you dealing with this morning? What situation do you find yourself engaged in? What dilemma are you faced with today? It Is Finished! The Bible declares in John 19:30 – When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. Beloved, at the point when Jesus gave up the ghost, every problem we will ever face in life was worked out. satan lost his powers. Every demonic assault was destroyed. All burdens were carried away. The sacrifice on the Cross was a completed work. We are victors because Jesus paid the ultimate price. The Bible declares in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 – O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. As your day unfolds, remember whatever you stand in need of, It Is Finished! Prayer for Today: Father, Jesus paid the ultimate price so that I may live in victory. Today, I cast all my cares unto You. You may do with them what You deem appropriate. In the name of Jesus … Amen!
