For so many years, I knew that God loved us and sent His Son to die for all of us some 2,000 years ago BUT what I hadn’t come to comprehend is that God actually loved me and was interested in me, yes me personally. I was always repenting 24/7 because I didn’t know when God would be angry and strike me LoL. Many times, people would wrong me and even after forgiving, it would take a while to completely let go. Unfortunately, I carried this into my relationship with my Heavenly Father. I found myself judging the perfection of Christ based on my imperfections so I would keep repenting or fretting about something I did years ago because I wasn’t sure that God forgave me and forgot about it haha funny right? Sometimes, I wasn’t even sure if God wanted me to succeed in this life because I grew up being told that God was Supreme and He did whatever He wanted. I was told that God helped only those who helped themselves yet in actuality, God helps the helpless. He sent us a Helper, the Holy Spirit to guide us in all truths. I also knew that His answers to our prayers are yes, no or wait. Funny enough, there is nothing like this in the Word. Somebody just came up with this. In fact, the Bible says that His promises are yeah and amen. (2 Corinthians 1:20) How sad, the Bible is so misrepresented and many of God’s kids don’t even study it to know Him for themselves.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge……. Hosea 4:6 KJV

God’s people perish because of lack of knowledge (Revelation knowledge.) You have to get to the Word and know God for yourself. Soon, I think I will do a series where we bust these myths haha soon.

Anyway, my question to you is, does God love you? Does God love you personally? Is God interested in your life? If you were the only one in this world, would God still have sent His Son to die for you?

Beloved, one person means so much to God.

Remember the story of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18:16-33.) So, the Lord said, “the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me.” Since Lot lived there and Abraham knew that 1 righteous person meant so much to God, he took his chances and went to negotiate with God on behalf of Lot so that his life could be spared.

So, Abraham approached God and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?” Then the Lord said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.” Then Abraham went on and on from 50 people until he got to ten people. Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?” The Lord answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.” When the Lord had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. And that is how Lot and his family were saved. There are so many revelations here but let’s stick to one; 1 righteous person means so much to God.

When God looks at the world, He doesn’t just see a figure of 7.8 billion people, in terms of nations. Instead, He sees and know all the individuals inhabiting this earth by name. When God looks at Nairobi city, He doesn’t see us based on estates, He sees Nelly, {INSERT YOUR NAME). I know it is almost incomprehensible but it is a present hour reality. God’s children mean the world and much more to Him. You are literally graven on the palm of God’s hands, that is why He cannot forget you so it makes no spiritual sense to sing songs of asking God to remember you. He cannot forget you, It is like saying, He can forget Himself. Your very hairs are all numbered. This goes to show that God doesn’t deal with us, as crowds. He is interested in His children, as individuals. So, if there was one man in this world, God would still have sent His Son to die for him. It is not about the majority. Why? Because 1 person counts. 1 person is a BIG DEAL.

Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. Isaiah 49:15-16 (KJV)

Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Luke 12:7 (NIV)

The Spirit is bringing to my remembrance the following verse;

For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt as a ransom for your freedom; I gave Ethiopia[a] and Seba in your place. Others were given in exchange for you. I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you. Isaiah 43:3-4 New Living Translation (NLT)

This literally means that God can give nations for your sake. It counts to be born again which is basically believing and declaring the Lordship of Jesus (Romans 10:9-10)

Beloved, I might not quite know or understand where you are at or what you are going through now. But you need to know and understand that God loves you. It is not an ‘us thing.’ God loves you and is interested in your well being. He wants to see you progress and succeed in this life. He sees each tear that falls. He listens to your prayers. There is no dustbin in heaven. He loves you so much that He gave His only begotten Son which was the equivalent of your worth. Your value is the value of Christ. He also wants you to share His love with other people. (Great Commission-Matthew 28:16–20, 2 Corinthians 5:17-20)

 Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 New Living Translation (NLT)

Refuse to let the devil plant doubts in your spirit concerning our Father’s love. When he comes with accusations, just rest in our Father’s love. It doesn’t matter if you are right or wrong. (Romans 8:1-2) The only card the devil is left with is deception so refuse to be deceived. I have enough testimonies where I have done something and the condemnation tries to come then the Holy Spirit tells me to rest in His love and that I am righteous by faith in Christ Jesus.

This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, (Romans 3:22 NIV)

Some people will argue that telling people this will encourage them to sin more but honestly, do your research. No matter how much you condemn yourself and beat yourself up about something, your spirit will just become weak and there will be no change. Because that is what condemnation does. It weakens your spirit. You’ll keep going back to the same thing but if you rely on the Holy Spirit to grow spiritually and break bad habits, it can even take a day to see permanent change.

TRY THIS;

If you are addicted to a bad habit, from today, when the urge comes, go study/ listen God’s Word. You can even engage the Holy Spirit in a conversation at that moment. See, to break from a habit, you have to replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts and where else can you find the perfect thoughts, God’s thoughts? It is in God’s Word. Give yourself time. As you align your thoughts with God’s thoughts through study and meditation of Scriptures, the bad habit will be shed off so fast. Now, compare that with the condemnation way and see what works faster and what lasts. Resting in God’s love is what differentiates the Christian who is confidently rooted firmly in Christ and the one who is all over looking for something to fill the void in his heart and condemning everyone on his path. By the way, if you’re still condemning God’s kids, you haven’t understood the value of a human soul to God.

It is very important to understand that what God did on the cross was for you, as an individual. The benefits on the cross are yours, personally. For example, I have heard a Christian say that she is cursed, generational curses. The Bible clearly says that Jesus was cursed because he hanged on a tree so that we may be blessed. Clearly, this child of God has not received this promise as an individual. Saying that God did it for us makes it very general. So, this precious child of God goes to numerous deliverance services to break generational curses yet our lineage stems from people like Abraham. When you come to Christ, your earthly lineage and backgrounds cease to exist because you are born of God, a new creation in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17) And if there is a hint of a curse in your life, just declare that from today, I am living like a blessed man. My womb is blessed. Everything about me is blessed. Then go ahead and live like a blessed woman; think that way, talk that way. Within no time, people will be using you to define the word, blessed. Not because you were not initially blessed but because you are now walking in that consciousness. In other words, you have been awakened to this blessing and now, you are walking like a blessed woman.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Galatians 3:13 King James Version (KJV)

Beloved, if there is somebody who believes what is in the scriptures, it is the devil and he will go to great lengths to get you busy doing everything else but reading the Word. Therefore, to know who you are, you have to deliberately set aside time to study the Word so that you can understand what it means to be a child of God and your rights in Christ. Everything that Christ did on the cross was for YOU and it does not benefit God if you’re not living out these promises as an individual. You also have the Extraordinary Strategist and Wonderful Counsellor (John 14:26) to guide you in all matters in this life. Yes, you have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside you. Engage Him. Talk to Him. He was not only sent to Pastors but to all God’s kids. Fellowship with Him. He is the best advocate, intercessor, strengthener, counsellor, standby, helper; take advantage of this ministry and draw grace and wisdom for your life.

Let it be settled in your heart that God’s love for you is constant, no matter what you do or the prevailing circumstances. (Ephesians 3:17-21) Rest in this love and live your life from this point. Let nobody ever use God to threaten you. He is your Father. I trust my biological dad very much no matter what, now I can imagine how much more the love of my Heavenly Father. God is not evil and in Him, there are no evil agendas.  He is also not mysterious. He has already revealed Himself through His Word. Beloved, Papa God loves you so much. Live and do everything in this life from this point. It is a guarantee that you will go far and register faith exploits in your life, family, career, business among other aspects in this life. It is a perpetual victory parade!!!

To call Him Papa God and to fellowship with Him, you need to receive Him into your life.

Here is how to do it; Say the following prayer out ALOUD;

“O Lord God, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that You raised Him from the dead and I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from today. I receive by faith, remission of sins for my soul, and right now, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I receive eternal life into my spirit. I declare with my mouth that I am born again!”

Hallelujah! Congratulations!! Now, you are a Child of GOD. Now, Your Life has only One Way; Upward and Forward! You are blessed!

If you said the prayer, kindly comment below or inbox/DM me on my socials (Nexcellent Tuluba) or send an email to info@nellytuluba.com and let us continue the fellowship.
