Oikeo Call #32: God Still Loves You

“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.”

– Jeremiah 31:3 (NIV)

This month, on the 32nd Oikeo Prayer Call, the gathered community of believers was reminded of one profound and anchoring truth: God still loves you. Before the requests were spoken, before the praises were lifted, the Holy Spirit moved with a single instruction: to make it known that God’s love hasn’t wavered, hasn’t diminished, and hasn’t overlooked a soul on this call.

Dr. Denise Brown opened the session with a commanding prayer—rebuking distractions, invoking divine presence, and setting bold expectation for miracles, healing, and breakthrough. This was no empty hope. It was a collective declaration from a people who know what it means to expect God to move.

The Revolutionary Power of Divine Love

For too many, love is given in pieces, measured out based on behavior, performance, or worthiness. But God’s love doesn’t function on a merit system. It is, as Paul told the church at Rome, “poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit” (Romans 5:5, NIV). it is not rationed, not conditional, but abundant and ever-present.

This month’s call invited us not just to believe in God, but to rest in God’s love. To believe that we are loved is revolutionary in a world constantly trying to unmake us. The kind of love that God offers doesn’t just feel good—it heals, restores, reclaims, and redeems. It is the same love that pulled Peter back after failure, that held Hagar in the desert, and that met Thomas with grace instead of condemnation. It is a love that shows up when nobody else does.

Scriptural Grounding

• Jeremiah 31:3 (NIV) – “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.”
  

• Romans 5:8 (NIV) – “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
  

• 1 John 4:16 (NIV) – “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.”

It’s one thing to read these verses in a devotional. It’s another to live them out loud in community, in struggle, and in prayer. That’s what Oikeo does every month—and why these calls remain sacred space.
