First love

"Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love." Revelation 2.4

The church in Ephesus was supposed to be a reference of the Lord Jesus on Earth: with good works and perseverance, they had been proven and approved by the Lord and everything else. But their passion for souls had faded and in its place came another ...
However, the compassion of the Lord gives us a new chance to get back to what we were before. It's just a matter of wanting it and taking action.

The First Love

"Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love." Revelation 2.4

The leaving of the first love happens when there is an exchange for another love. What good is for a husband to provide comfortable living, jewelry, luxury and money but to be absent to his wife? The same is with those who give the best of themselves in the church but, at their hearts, Jesus no longer occupies the first place.

ABRAHAM

"Get out of your country, From your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you."            Genesis 12.1

The first words God said to Abraham before making him a blessing was "Get out....".
God could not execute His plan through Abraham while he maintained any kind of  relationship with his family's pagan costumes.  
The same happens today. How can someone be born of water and the Holy Spirit if they remain involved with the idolatrous customs of the society they live in?
Those who want to be a blessing must leave behind the curse of sin.

SATISFIED

"And He was saying to her, 'Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

Mark 7:27

Let us be fed and satisfied by what God has prepared for us. As Heirs, we are entitled to all the best in this world.
