LOVING GOD ABOVE ALL

LOVING GOD ABOVE ALL


On ANY given day
At any given time
We have so MANY gods
With us


FALSE gods


Gods of gold=gods of
Others' opinions=gods of safety=
Of food=technology=family=and
EVEN pleasure gods


And SOMETIMES=some of us=
Even think of OURSELVES
As gods


“You are a man
And NOT a god=
However=you may
Think yourself LIKE a god............” Ezekiel 28:2


Like Adam and Eve
Some of us think
We KNOW BETTER
Than God


We WANT to be our
OWN gods=SUBSTITUTING
Ourselves for him


So many FALSE gods=let us
ALWAYS put our LORD & GOD
ABOVE ALL ELSE


“At that TIME
If anyone says to you


'Look=here is the MESSIAH!'-or-
'There he is'
Do NOT believe it


For FALSE messiahs and
FALSE prophets will appear
And perform great signs
And wonders=to DECEIVE


If possible=even the elect
SEE=I have told you
AHEAD of time” Matthew 24:23-25


“More than that
We are then
Found to be
FALSE witnesses about God


That he RAISED Christ
From the dead


But he did NOT
Raise him
If in fact
The dead are NOT RAISED” 1 Corinthians 15:15


Loving God=the REAL GOD=
ABOVE ALL


Sometimes we seek to
DO God's will
For our own ends
NOT FOR GOD'S


THIS is the most
DIFFICULT TEMPTATION=for it
IS the subtlest


Replacing God
With ourselves
IS the ultimate sin
And the ULTIMATE loneliness


Let us TRULY LOVE GOD=and
All others ABOVE ourselves=for this is
The MOST IMPORTANT commandment


“Jesus replied=
'LOVE the Lord your God
With ALL your heart


And with
All your soul
And with ALL your mind


This is the FIRST and
GREATEST COMMANDMENT” Matthew 22:37-38


My DEAR LORD=help us to
LET you love us=and TEACH US
TO LOVE YOU=ABOVE ALL


In Jesus' name and in the name of
The ALMIGHTY LOVING FATHER
