Mighty Foundation (pt.5) - Bamboo Lovers Experience


Listen Later

Welcome back! Today we continue our Foundation series with a powerful focus on the theme of "Mighty Foundation." Reverend Eben takes us deeper into the essential topic of loving God, emphasizing that it is one of the most powerful foundations for a life that is blessed and aligned with God's purpose. Drawing from Matthew 22:36-37, we're reminded of the commandment to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind." This foundation is pivotal because loving God isn't just a feeling; it's a choice to prioritize Him over everything else in our lives.


Reverend Eben addresses how we can protect this love and reveals the enemies that threaten our devotion to God:


1. Iniquity (Sin) - Sin is a major enemy of loving God. Matthew 24:12 warns that because iniquity will be rampant, the love of many will grow cold. We must be cautious not to allow sin to turn our hearts away from God.


2. Pleasure - 2 Timothy 3:4 speaks of those who are "lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God." Loving the pleasures of this world can dull our desire and passion for God.


3. Worldliness - 1 John 2:15 tells us not to love the world or the things in it, for if we do, the love of the Father is not in us. We are called to choose God's ways over worldly temptations and distractions.


4. Yourself (The Flesh) - Our greatest enemy can sometimes be ourselves. Our flesh often fights against our spirit, tempting us to pursue comfort and sin over obedience to God. Galatians 5:17 describes this struggle as a battle between the flesh and the spirit.


These are the foundational truths that we must hold onto as we build a strong and unshakeable love for God. If you desire to see God’s power, favor, and blessing manifest in your life, this message is a must-listen!
