God does not hate you

Romans 8:38-39 (NIV) - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, k neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Good day fellow believers....This devotion is for the believers.

In the garden of Eden, the devil deceived Adam and Eve by lying. What was the lie? well if you study book of Genesis. 1st thing Satan did, was to make both of them doubt God. God told Adam and Eve, "“You may eat freely from every tree of the garden". The devil tried to contradict that by saying “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat of any tree in the garden?” Satan was trying to get them to eat that 1 forbidden tree by the deception of doubt...Did God really say it?


God even told them if they eat from the forbidden tree they will die, Satan lied by saying they will not die. On both account, Satan used "doubt". God said they will die, Satan said No they will not die.

Today it is the same.

The devil will not think twice in using shame, condemnation, guilt to cause believers to doubt God. The devil has successfully convince believers when they sin, God hates the believer.

Have you ever have such thoughts? That God is far away, disgusted at your sin, therefore, you are separated from God. Again I'm talking about believers.

Now what does the word of God in the book of Romans 8 says as in the main text?

Do you notice the word "demons" there in verse 38? What is the revelation here? Well demons will plant contradicting thoughts into your head to convince you that God hates you.

But I'm here to share this truth with you. God does not hate you. Romans 8:38-39 tells us that, God loves you still...even what demons do to you to cause you to sin..God still loves you, it's not going to separate you from God's Love.

Meditate on this. Let it sink into your heart and spirit, I pray for the Holy Spirit to illuminate this truth unto you.

God Bless.

I press on

Philippians 3:12 (NIV) - Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.


Good Day to you, today's devotion are for believers.

Stubborn faith. Be determined to outlast your opposition. Does not mean you fight dirty or use devious ways to win but you continue to do good to your enemies. As Christians we need to press on everyday, forgetting what is bad behind. There is no other way. if you believe God's words to be the truth then we need to do what it says.

People will tell you...you can forgive but do not forget. God words says in Philippians 3:13....Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, If God tells me to forget, I will forget what is behind. It may be hard for some of you but God's truth will always be greater than what we think is right.

Continue to love others, continue to show Christ like nature to others who are evil. Situations that are not favorable to you, afflictions that are depressing towards you, even if your future doesn't seem good...You press on with stubborn faith, doing good to all.

Moses, Joseph, king David to name to few all had their bad opposition and it wasn't easy. It wasn't just days but months, years...many years that would have cause normal people to give up. But you're not normal people.

You are all children of God and that means you have God on your side, that my friends makes all the difference!

God Bless

Well the point is, they all could receive from God "while" in their state of sin. => That's why for Catholics (and Eastern Christians), there are the sacraments of confession & baptism. Both we call the sacraments of the "dead", meaning it can be received by those whose souls are not in the state of grace.

OK, here's where we disagree. You say Christian who may fall here and there are still close with God. Disagree! Sin is offensive to God. There are different degrees of sin of course as per I John 5:16-18. If we sin mortally, we are cut off from the Body of Christ and are no longer in union with God.

I always tell people, when you go to church, you're there to meet with God.

Don't look to people, not any church leaders or pastors because they are people like you with flaws. Some of them may inspire, some may disappoint.

What's important is that you recognize and understand, going to church is all about God, never people.

Yeah exactly true. You will meet all kind of ppl in church. For me personally, I just go to church to have fellowship with God and maybe converse with others.

I didn't say that. What I said was, when one goes to church, the primary reason is all about meeting with God. With that proper focus, you will soon begin to understand why people go to church.

Everyone has their lot of problems in life. You can meet God anywhere but there is a difference in meeting God corporately as a body (Church).

Besides, Church was God's idea. Christ himself said "I will build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail". This tells you that Church is not man's idea or origin. If Church is God's idea then it stand to reason that we should attend church.

I don't know what is your disappointment with the Church but you have to rise up and be better, don't allow whatever that has disappointed you get the better of you.


*I'm speaking from experience. You're not the only one who has disappointment against church.

Since you are a Christian, fyi, the Bible considers seminal discharge, menstrual discharge and period, pregnancy and child-birth as unclean = evil/satanic.?; and unconverted people as sons/daughters of the devil who often do as their father, Satan, spiritually tells them to do.

So, pregnancy cravings are likely spiritually from the devil/serpent/Satan through humans' inherited Adam's Original Sin. Such devilish cravings should be ignored as much as possible by both mother and father, instead of being satisfied.

What do you guys think of the above statement?

Who said that? laugh.gif

menstrual discharge has nothing to do with Satanic or evil.

Neither is pregnancy cravings is from the devil/serpent/Satan.
