I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me (IMizekeliso 8:17)
The love of God for people is shown, in the fact that He gave His only beloved Son. Jesus has also shown His love for people, by dying for them; taking all the sins and iniquities of the world upon Himself. Because of the love of God for man, and because of Jesus’ great love for His Father, He was able to fulfil His mission on this earth. He was the Lamb, Who was slain for mankind. He made atonement for the sinner.
Now it’s up to mankind, what we do with this precious gift. Do we accept it, or reject it.
Every person has been given a free will to choose; choose for Jesus, okanye hayi.
Jesus says that He love those, who love Him, because they have chosen Him, and received Him into their lives. Jesus can only live in them, who have invited Him.
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Utata, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us:that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me (Yoh 17:20-23)
How can Jesus come into your life?
Kulungile, first of all, by asking Him to come into your life, guqukani, and surrender yourself to Him. Then all you have to do is open the Word of God, and receive His words. When you receive His words, you receive Him, and when you become a doer of the Word, and walk in His commandments, and in His will, then you show Him that you love Him, and He shall dwell in you.
Those that seek Me early shall find Me
ILizwi lithi: “those that seek Me early shall find Me.” Ewe, those who seek Him early, shall find Him. That’s why it’s so important to start your day with the Word, so that you shall start your day together with Him.
When you open the Bible, and receive His words, then your spirit shall be fed. You shall be encouraged, build up, and strengthened. You shall be able to cope with the things, that come on your way that day. He teaches, and instructs you, so that you can handle every situation in the right manner.
But He waits…. for your invitation.
