From time to time, it is good for you to look back at the deeds of God and count your blessings. Everything around may try to make you not to appreciate God. It takes taking cognizance of divine benevolence and being diligent in itemizing, identifying and recognizing the mercies of God in everything to fall in love with him. It takes this recognition to tell the devil to shut up so that you can hear the voice of the Holy Ghost, see his moves and receive the blessings of God.
Celebrate the faithfulness of God. The hand of God has wrought several miracles in this ministry. When I look back thirty years back, I see the hand of God. When I look back yesterday, I see his hand. When I look back earlier today, I see his mighty hand, so why will I not look at the future and say, Father thank you. Why will I not fall in love over and over again with God? Appreciate God!
One of the best ways to celebrate Jesus is to celebrate his works. He has left us here on earth to be his ambassadors. Jesus said he expects us to do greater works than the works he did. We give him all the glory.
“Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.”Galatians 4:3-5, KJV
This is the reason why Jesus came. Everything God does is for a purpose. God sent his Son as the Redeemer. The word redemption is a compound word in Greek and very powerful; the first word is price. Jesus paid the price and secondly, he entered the market. Thirdly he exited the market; paid the price and took us out of the market. The next one is ‘lutroo’ which means to set us free.
With this revelation, we should fall in love over and over again with God, our heavenly Father, who makes great things happen. It is by his divine benevolence, by his mercy through his love, through his goodness and kindness that we are not consumed by the gravity of the Adamic sin. In place of judgment, God had mercy. Mercy and truth kissed each other on the cross and made a way of escape for man.
