WOW-21 February 2024: HOW TO WIN LIKE JESUS (CONT’D)
Senior Pastor Daniel O. C. | Feb 21, 2024

Calvary greetings to you in the blessed name of Jesus Christ our Saviour, Amen!
2. WINNING THROUGH LOVE
(1 John 4:7-11)
Love is as strong as death.
Love cannot be killed by time or disaster.
Love cannot be bought for any price because it is freely given.
Love is priceless, even the richest king cannot buy it.
Love must be accepted as a gift from God and shared amongst people as God directs.
Accept the love of God today and allow it to reflect wherever you go.
In our modern world, love had become a mixed-up term with little meaning.
People are still confused about love.
Love is the greatest of all human qualities and it is the attribute of God (1 John 4:8).
Love involves unselfish service to others.
Faith is the foundation of Christianity.
Hope is the attitude while love is the action.
Real love is an action, not a feeling.
Love produces selfless and sacrificial giving. (John 3:16).
The greatest act of love is giving oneself for others (John 15:13).
How can we lay down ourselves? By serving others with no thought of receiving anything in return.
Do you know that sometimes, it is easier to say that you will die for people than to truly live for them?
We must always put other people’s desires first before ours (James 2:14-17 / 1 John 3:21-24).
JESUS’ EXEMPLARY LIFE
- To His opponent, Jesus showed tolerance and love.
- To sinners, He shed His spotless blood for their cleansing.
- To the saints, He purified and endued them with strength and power for service.
- Like our Saviour Jesus Christ, the best thing to give to our enemies is forgiveness.
- To our friend – loyalty love.
- To our children – a good example.
- To our parents – honour, respect and good conduct.
- To ourselves – respect and to all people love.
- Jesus our Lord gave love and more so He gave Himself.
- He gives us strength, meet our needs and gives us a wealth of knowledge through His Word.
- He gave the good news of salvation for us all. He is still giving and will always give.
- Let us win like Jesus for he who gives not is not living.
- The more you give, the more you live. It was John Wesley, that great saint of God who challenged.
- Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the way you can, in all the places you can, at all times you can, to all the people you can as long as you ever can.
- Join this army of Christ Jesus for it pays to win like Him so you can be like Him and eventually live with Him at the close of the age.
THE DUTY OF CHRISTIANS
(Ecclesiastes 12:13)
- Reach out to the unreached and pull them out of the fire of hell that waits for the unbelievers. (Isaiah 58:6-7)
- Begin to love the unloved. Feed the hungry. Give water to the thirsty. Preach to the unpreached. Teach the untaught. Touch the untouched.
- Distribute to the poor. Be a blessing to the unprivileged. Help the down trodden.
- Set an example in all aspects of life and be a peacemaker and pacesetter.
Remain blessed and rapturable,
Yours to reach this generation with the Gospel,
Dr. Daniel O. C.
