*GOD LOVES YOU SPECIALLY*

_For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life_ *(John 3:16)*

God loves everybody. The Bible says He so loved the world, people, and He sent Jesus, His Son, to save them from their sins. So, God is love, and He loves all men. However, from the Scriptures, we find that God also loves some people specially. 

Solomon is an example: when he was born, the Bible tells us the Lord loved him (2 Samuel 12:24). This was special. The Lord Jesus also loved John specially. John knew it so much, he called himself the disciple whom Jesus loved. The rich young ruler who came to ask Jesus questions is also another example; the Bible says Jesus loved him (Mark 10:17-21). 

Did you know you also can walk in this special love? Absolutely! That’s God’s desire for you. Remember the scripture, *“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen”* (2 Corinthians 13:14). The love of God here refers to God loving you. And when God loves you, He loves through you. That's one of the signs that His love has been directed towards you: it works through you to others.

That’s what we find in Solomon. The Lord loved him specially, and he, in turn, loved people. God’s love worked through him to love others. Because he loved the people, he made them successful as he was successful. The prosperity of Solomon was revealed through others in his kingdom. That’s why Israel was so prosperous in his days. There was no poverty. Gold was everywhere in abundance, and silver was not valued during his reign. 

God loves you specially, and this makes you a conduit of His love and blessings to others. Make a decision today to walk in this truth: you have become God's mighty hand for others. Everywhere you go, let His love go with you. When people meet you, let them get introduced to the love of God as He manifests Himself through you in loving them.

*PRAYER*

_Dear Father, I thank you for your special love towards me. I live daily in the consciousness of your love, and I am a channel and a conduit of that love to others. Your love is expressed through me, bringing transformation, blessings, and impact everywhere I go, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

*FURTHER STUDY:*

*Romans 5:8* But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

*Ephesians 3:17-19* That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, *18* May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; *19* And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

*1 John 4:16* And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2025 LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known. Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement. Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying ...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH 2025 THE KINGDOM, THE FIELD, AND THE SEED Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "...the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field" (Matthew 13:24). That "man" is the Lord Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the world. This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still b...
