Dr Pastor Paul Enenche at First Service, Glory Dome, Abuja on ‘The Profit of Loving God’.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10
- Scriptures make it abundantly clear that it is extremely profitable to love God
- Lovers of God are enviable citizens of the planet Earth
- Love for God was a major distinguishing characteristic of David, it distinguished David from the people of his generation (1Samuel 13:14; Acts 13:22)
No wonder David ended as the envy of the house of Jesse and the envy of Israel – because he loved the Lord. - Don’t let anybody tell you that you are wasting your life or wasting your time loving God, it pays to love God.
PROFITS OF LOVING GOD
1) Access to Depths and Insight (1Corinthians 2:9-10)
- God shows His lovers what He doesn’t show other people
- Secrets belong to intimates
- When you are a lover of God, you see out of Scripture what others can’t see
- When you are a lover of God, you see in a day what others can’t see in a lifetime, you see in a day what others can’t see forever
2) Access to Divine Presence (John 14:21)
- When you are a lover of God, you enjoy the presence of God
- Lovers naturally hang around each other
- When you see a genuine lover of God, they carry a feelable, palpable presence of God
- The presence of God is what is called the anointing (Acts 10:38)
3) Access to Divine Preservation (Psalms 91:14-15)
- God defends His lovers, He fights to keep them alive
One day when we came to Abuja newly, my wife came home from work; she was still practicing medicine in a private hospital in Abuja here. She came from work crying and I said “who made you cry? Why are you crying?” and she said it was a male colleague at work that looked for her trouble and I said “me that I am her husband I’m not making her to cry, it is a stranger that is making her to cry at a workplace, Na me and you today!”
I carried Volvo like Jehu, I drove like a man that was not matching brake, I got the place and I said “take me to the man!”. ChurchGist. When I met the man, he shook first and I said “what happened between you and this woman?” By the time I was through with him, that man was sacked from that work under two weeks. I didn’t report him to nobody, I only encountered him.
God is about to encounter an enemy on your behalf!
He is about to encounter the devil on your behalf!
4) Supernatural Release of Revival and Resources (Deuteronomy 11:13-14)
*When you are a lover of God, you are a mobile revival, revival in motion. You don’t know dry season spiritually, you don’t know scarcity and shortage
- Those who don’t understand love for God, they have seen nothing yet, God will so decorate His lovers in this season that will make the heart of wicked people to break!
- Until they repent and change their mind, they will be shocked at the level of release!
We went to Village Evangelism in the village last year, we were in Rural Rugged evangelism, people sent us text message saying “at the level you are, with a church like this, you are still having time for village and Rural Rugged? No light, nothing! We still went and we shall continue to go till Jesus Comes! ChurchGist. The only difference now is that we shall be landing with helicopters there, going to the Campus, preaching to them!
- The Campus Crusade we went recently, our Church branch said “what do you (the school) want us to do as you host our Father in the Lord? They said “do everything for us, that is, pay for the hotel, pay everything.” ChurchGist. We went to preach to them to change their life not take a dime!
Just face God and God will face you! He will face you with supplies, He will face you with resources!
- We are in the process of trying to secure a Motor Home, that is, when you get to a place and it is difficult to sleep anywhere, you came with where to sleep, a trailer, which you can sleep inside. That is the level of our commitment to going into the interior, going everywhere, chasing the devil till Jesus comes.
We have slept in ‘unsleepable’ places drank undrinkable waters but they didn’t harm us – lovers of God.
I recruit you into this season of love for God and your generation will be shocked at what God will do in your life!
5) Supernatural Possession and Victory Over the Enemy (Deuteronomy 11:22-23)
- When you love God, no devil will be permitted to keep your inheritance
- Whatever belongs to you, you possess them effortlessly and defeat the enemy effortlessly, if you are a lover of God
6) Access to Grace (Ephesians 6:24)
- When you are a lover of God, you become a carrier of Grace!
- Anybody who loves God can never lack Grace
- Apostolic Grace
- Prophetic Grace
- Teaching Grace
- Pastoral Grace
- Worship Grace
- Receiving-and-writing-of-songs Grace
- Instruments Grace
- Leadership Grace
- Financial-Dominion Grace
- Grace is abundant for everyone who loves God with passion
PROOFS OF LOVE FOR GOD
1) Passion and Hunger for His Person and Presence (Psalm 42 1-2)
2) Commitment to His Commandments (John 14:21)
- You don’t just read the Word, you keep the Word
3) Sacrificial Giving (John 3:16; 1Kings 3:3-5)
- There can be no love without giving
- Lovers are givers
Beloved, welcome to a new frequency of love for God, in worshiping of God, in going after souls in evangelism and worshiping and serving him in the sanctuary. A new Dimension of love where people will tell you “do you want to carry Church on your head?” and you will say “yes I want to!” and God will show you off to them that he is a rewarder, not just the recorder of the labour of His people.
