CALL TO PRAY – MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY: NOT TO COMPLAIN ON EVERY CAUSE!

“. . . Men ought ALWAYS TO PRAY and not to complain, faint, weary or give up for any cause” Luke 18:1/Paraphrase

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, PRAYERS, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 for kings, AND FOR ALL THAT ARE IN AUTHORITY; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” 1 Timothy 2:1-6.

“If I shut up heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR the land, or if I send PESTILENCE among my people; 14 if my people, which are called by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and turn from their WICKED ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their LAND [NATION]. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15/Emphasis Mine.

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTETH a NATION: but SIN is a reproach to any people” Proverbs 14:34.

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with Him” Acts 10:34-35.

THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE – FOR OTHERS

By Leave a Comment

THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE – FOR OTHERS: IT’S IN THE KNOWING THAT YOUR – WORK, LABOUR AND PATIENCE – ARE NOT IN VAIN!

There is sufficient cause as Believer’s in Christ Jesus, to remain STEADFAST, UNMOVEABLE and ABOUNDING in the God’s Kingdom cause and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in order to avoid labouring for vain, in your path of doing life and living godly in the Lord; and more importantly, as you keep on keeping on, labouring on the gracious and graceful rewarding kingdom purpose for you, as you fulfil the given assignment meaningfully, in Christ Jesus, as it’s written:

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye STEDFAST, UNMOVEABLE, always ABOUNDING in the WORK of the Lord, forasmuch as ye KNOW that your LABOUR is not in VAIN in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58.

There is the need and cause in Christ Jesus, for us as the reborn of God, to always give THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBRANCE on the behalf of others as Apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians. This is important and for the essence of the three gracious and graceful vitality acts of good deeds, as you do life and live godly, in the Lord God and to fulfil purpose in His Kingdom advancement, and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay. These vitality acts are as written in the holy writ:

“We GIVE THANKS to God always for you all, making mention of you in our PRAYERS; 3 REMEMBERING without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 KNOWING, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine

And from the above scripture, in respect to the essence of GIVING THANKS, the act of PRAYERS and the cause for REMEMBRANCE,  we can deduce the fellowing in context:

* The (Your) Work of Faith

* The (Your) Labour of Love

* The (Your) Patience of Hope

You need to give THANKS to God always for you and others about you, as you take each passing day step – to advance the CAUSE of God’s Kingdom Business and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. It’s a gracious and graceful synergy to keep one focus as God’s ambassador and representative on this side of the heavenly in the midst of the challenging and difficult times.

Except otherwise, you then need to ponder about them and measure yourself in the light of the scripture if you are indeed standing sure on the gracious and graceful Kingdom acts of the Lord God. And wherein otherwise, awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its day when you need to work and walk in the grace that WORTH REMEMBERANCE. And knowing that every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord.

I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“We GIVE THANKS to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine.

“And now abideth FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is Love” 1 Corinthians 13:13 (Emphasis Mine).

“For God is not UNJUST (UNRIGHTEOUS, UNFAITHFUL) so as to forget your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in ministering to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to show the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] SLUGGISH (SLOTHFUL), but [will instead be] IMITATORS (FOLLOWERS) of those who through FAITH [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by PATIENT endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12 Amplified (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of UNBELIEF, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be HARDENED through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made PARTAKERS of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence STEDFAST unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, HARDEN not your hearts, as in the provocation” Hebrews 3:7-15.

THE SIXTH SENSE – THE SENSE OF FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE SIXTH SENSE – THE SENSE OF FAITH: THAT’S THE FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE!

“For in Christ Jesus NEITHER circumcision NOR uncircumcision AVAILS anything, but FAITH WORKING through LOVE . .  . If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5: 6, 25.

God is not a magician but will ALWAYS honour His WORD and PROMISES to All. Therefore, it’s time for ALL who expects the best of God, to gear up and put on, another kind of SENSE; meaning, for any to keep up and remain steadily steady, and triumphant in life on a daily basis in order to advance the kingdom cause of God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay – such needs to turn on the enabling synergy; and to turn on the enabling synergy is by ACTIVATING and SYNCHRONIZING the button of the SIX SENSE – The SENSE of FAITH; that is, to keep the the SENSE of FAITH switch button, always on a steady ON position. This is to enable you stay a TRIUMPHANT in doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For we WALK by FAITH, not by SIGHT (FIVE SENSES – SMELL, TASTE, HEAR, SEE, TOUCH/FEEL)” 2 Corinthians 5:7/Emphasis Mine.

The SIXTH SENSE, which is the SENSE of FAITH can only WORK EFFECTUALLY and EFFICIENTLY, when it’s set always and continuously, on the ‘ON’ button position; meaning, when you LIVE and WALK in the spirit of LOVE which God has shed in our hearts by the Holy Spirit that is lavishly given to us, then we make all the difference as God’s ambassadors in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED, POURED] abroad in OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

This is the only way to keep your SIX SENSE – which is of FAITH, activated over your FIVE SENSE of what you – SMELL, TOUCH/FEEL, SEE, HEAR and TASTE, which are by creation design, limited to sense God’s lead and your life dealings and godly living in Christ Jesus. stead. Amen.

So THINK and start acting NOW!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but FAITH WORKING through LOVE . .  . If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5: 6, 25.

“For we WALK by FAITH, not by SIGHT (five senses)” 2 Corinthians 5:7.

“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED, POURED] abroad in OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

“For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the victory that OVERCOMETH the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH confession is MADE unto SALVATION” Romans 10:8-10.

“We having the same spirit of FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by his FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.

“. . . 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye DESIRE, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE

By Leave a Comment

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE: YOU NEED TO STAY CONNECTED IN FELLOWSHIP [PRAYERS]!

“So we ARE CHRIST’S AMBASSADORS, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal REPRESENTATIVES] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20/Amplified Classic Edition.

I am yet to find any genuine ambassador or even secretary of state on foreign policy, representing his country, that’s not connected and always connected and in communication with the sending country in every decision except such had been declared with a PERSONA NON GRATA by his country. And so ought every Believer of God in Christ Jesus, who by virtue of being a New Creation, are ambassador, representing the heavenly in earthly affairs in love.

“A WICKED MESSENGER [REPRESENTATIVE] falleth into mischief [trouble]: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17.

And one great hallmark of such BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE, is the act of FELLOWSHIP to enhance that RELATIONSHIP with the sending heavenly. It’s upon this assigned mandate that the Believer in Christ Jesus is CALLED by the heavenly faith into a place of FELLOWSHIP wherein the Believer can fulfil purpose of God in Christ Jesus stead. And this ACT OF FELLOWSHIP is not only toward God in Christ Jesus but to toward fellow Believer’s in the grace of the same-like faith in Christ Jesus, there are Christ’s ambassador. For many have the habit of disregarding the fellowship [communication and connection] with others, and we are admonished and charged not to avoid such act of fellowship. And the act of fellowship in this context is what we mostly generally called – the act of PRAYERS!

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE” Romans 8:28 [Ephesians 1:11-12/Amplified].

“NOT FORSAKING OR NEGLECTING to ASSEMBLE [FELLOWSHIP] together [as Believers], as is the HABIT OF SOME PEOPLE, but ADMONISHING (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more FAITHFULLY as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/Amplified Classic Edition.

There’s therefore the need to PRAY and keep PRAYING, for it’s a hallmark of the ACT OF FELLOWSHIP for the earthly, to being connected and in communication with the heavenly in order to resolve the earthly affairs: personal, family, community, national and the world; for PRAYER is the path for the Believing one’s as AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, to receive the enabling grace to help fulfil God’s divine purpose and to avoid being declared with a PERSONA NON GRATA.

WHAT THEN IS PRAYER [The Act of Fellowship] – NOT LIMITED:

PRAYER is – the FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God. PRAYER is – the COMMUNION with the heavenly Father God in Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit in God’s WORD. PRAYER is – the avenue of resolving life matters with the heavenly to fulfil the assigned divine PURPOSE in humanity.

PRAYER is – engaging and asking of the HEAVENLY permission into your EARTHLY affairs. PRAYER is – the asking for the heavenly intervention in matters of earnest earthly challenges. PRAYER is – the Believer’s life blood to all about doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. PRAYER and the life of PRAYER and PRAYING, is not just an act but Believer’s life breath from the heavenly into the earthy affairs of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

PRAYER – is a vitality and necessity for the Believer’s in Christ to be able to thrive by God for an onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus stead, Amen. And as PRAYER is the Believer’s inescapable obligation to ensure and assure a safe trail with God in humanity, it’s imperative and prerogative of getting readily ready in the context of our daily, weekly, monthly and yearly – plan, purpose and pursuit – in order to take on and take charge of our path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And with the daily challenges of our faith in Christ Jesus, it’s of great necessity to PRAY. Such act of PRAYER and PRAYING enable one to ask help of the heavenly TIMELESS timeline into our earthly TIMED timeline intervention. DON’T YOU THINK SO? And if Yes – then give PRAYER a GO today and always – meaning, you can start now to ask for the heavenly permission into your earthly affairs intervention. Start now to let the heavenly interfere into your set out PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – which will in turn count and account for your good and goodness as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus [Luke 18:1-8; Matthew 16:19; Matthew 18:18].

PRAYER – is the PATH to have your thoughts and plan ESTABLISHED readily in the spiritual atmosphere with the heavenly realm for an onward, upward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. There’s the need to authenticate and enact tangibly into reality your desired yearnings – just as a horse is made readily ready ahead of any battle and challenging time usefulness. May I inform or remind you, it is the spiritual realm of the heavenly, that gives the physical (earthly) world realm the synergy of life – therefore, do yourself a favour to PRAY, so that you FAINT not and live a WORRY free life in the earthly affairs. [Mark 1:35; Luke 6:12-16; Luke 4:1-22; Matthew 6:9-18, 25-34; Hebrews 4:14-16].

PRAYER – is vital because there’s the NEED to HEAR God for yourself and not from someone else’s, especially on that which one intending PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in Christ Jesus stead; personal of prayers in fellowship saves one from waiting for the prophecy of someone to define you on MATTERS that they can’t carry through life with you especially on your behalf. Know of a truth that God hears and answers PRAYERS, and it’s imperative and your prerogative should be to talk and reason WITH God for yourself and not someone else taking the stage for their ego, knowing that God will answer you irrespective and accordingly. [Psalms 65:2; Psalms 5:1-3; Jeremiah 33:3].

Today, and now, it beholds me to plead with you to please GIVE GOD A CALL TODAY – HE WILL ANSWER WHEN IT RINGS ON HIS THRONE. He wants to hear from you personally irrespective without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which ARE THE PRAYERS OF SAINTS” Revelation 5:8.

“And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much INCENSE, that he should offer it with THE PRAYERS OF ALL SAINTS upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the SMOKE OF THE INCENSE, which came with the PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS, ASCENDED UP BEFORE GOD out of the angel’s hand” Revelation 8:3-4.

Be BLESSED in your EARTHLY CAUSE to doing LIFE and living GODLY in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT (GIVE UP, GO WEARY, LOOSE HEART)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine).

“Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The HEARTFELT AND PERSISTENT PRAYER of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]” James 5:16 (Amplified).

“PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” Ephesians 6:18.

“Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left [the house], and went out to a secluded place, and was PRAYING there” Mark 1:35 (Amplified).

REMEMBERING THE MEMORABLE – “SAINT VALENTINE”: WISHING YOU A HAPPY “SAINT VALENTINE’S” – LOVE AND LOVERS DAY!

“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye DO whatsoever I command you” John 15:12-14.

LOVE IS AT A COST. God gave up His Son [Jesus Christ] for it. And Jesus Christ gave up His life for it. And the Priest – SAINT VALENTINE – gave up His life for it, hence there’s SAINT VALENTINE’S DAY today.

WHAT ARE YOU GIVING UP, FOR YOU TO ENSURE AND ASSURE THAT ‘LOVE’ THRIVES AND LIVES IN YOU AND THROUGH TODAY?

The Priest – SAINT VALENTINE, paid with his life to give love and lovers an opportunity to ensure their assured love to each other. And on a day and date as this day and date, he died in honour for his good and goodness to others – indicating that LOVE IS AT A COST. It’s not cheap and must not be cheapen by any – and only those who knows and understands the worth can truly appreciate the cause of the Priest – SAINT VALENTINE!

THEREFORE, I SAY TO YOU:

* Let THERE be LOVE.

THE GENUINE LOVE IS PURE AND REFRESHING

By Leave a Comment

THE GENUINE LOVE IS PURE AND REFRESHING: IT’S CALLED – AGAPE LOVE!

LOVE is a mystery but not mystical. For God is Love. God is a mystery and not mystical. His LOVE is pure, practicable, liveable, approachable and loveable, for it’s EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to us. [Romans 5:5]. And He’s a mystery to only them and those who don’t know Him in His Love. For He is LOVE and His LOVE is PURE, TRUE and REFRESHING.

And God’s LOVE is Beautiful, Unquestionable, Unspeakable, Incomprehensible and Indescribable; and it is a gracious and graceful GIFT, that is shared in our hearts by the Holy Spirit; and it’s GIVEN to us to SHARE alike in Christ Jesus stead. God’s LOVE is genuine and involves laying down ones life for the other to keep it alive and refreshing.

When it comes to God’s LOVE in relationship and maritally, especially for the man, it’s gracious and graceful to know that MARRYING THE WOMAN YOU LOVE IS GOOD. BUT LOVING THE WOMAN YOU MARRIED, NOW, THAT IS SPECIAL AND AWESOME.

“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, FOUR WHICH I KNOW NOT: 19 the way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and THE WAY OF A MAN WITH A WOMAN” Proverbs 30:18-19.

“Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for LOVE IS STRONG AS DEATH; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. 7 MANY WATERS CANNOT QUENCH LOVE, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned” Songs of Solomon 8:6-7.

AND SOMEONE SAID:

“A HAPPY MAN MARRIES THE WOMAN HE LOVES. BUT A HAPPIER MAN LOVES THE WOMAN HE MARRIES” – Isaac Kubvoruno

And I Say this to you unreservedly:

LOVE – Is the BEAUTIFUL GIFT, giving to us to SHARE in grace. It’s about LOVING GOD FIRST, AND LOVING OTHERS IN HIS LOVE. More so, you need to keep on keeping on, dating again and again and again . . . the one you genuinely and truly LOVE to make your love refreshing,  liveable and practicable – for LOVE is the most EXCELLENT WAY, the gracious and graceful act in DOING LIFE TOGETHER in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The greater love of God is the only genuine LOVE. It Is PURE and REFRESHING. It is AGAPE LOVE. It transcends and surpasses human SENSE and all comprehension.

Welcome I say to God’s kind of LOVE – the AGAPE LOVE, which is EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit of Love, through God’s WORD, in our human spirit.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 GREATER LOVE hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you” John 15:12-14.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.

“SAINT VALENTINE” – MEMORABLE REMEMBRANCE DAY

By Leave a Comment

“SAINT VALENTINE” – MEMORABLE REMEMBRANCE DAY: “SAINT VALENTINE’S” DAY TO SALVAGE LOVERS LOVE IN MARRIAGE!

LOVE! The most BEAUTIFUL, GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL gift, that’s GIVEN to us to SHARE in life and grace, is without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 GREATER LOVE hath no man than this, that a MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. 14 Ye ARE my friends, if ye DO whatsoever I command you” John 15:12-14.

You need to know that genuine LOVE IS AT A COST – that’s what this day of valentine’s is all about to promote. And LOVE IS SACRIFICIAL, that’s what this day is all about to salvage from the self-centeredness and self-gratification person’s about us. Love should be irrespective among us, so that we all can see each other through the love that’s beyond walls and borders, religion, creed, status, region, tongue and gender and such like.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH which worketh by LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto LIBERTY [FREEDOM]; only use not LIBERTY  [FREEDOM] for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE SERVE one another” Galatians 5:6, 13.

The Holy Spirit led LOVE doesn’t DEMAND for LOVE – instead it GIVES LOVE – Unreservedly And Lavishly; it thus means that a genuine LOVE that’s at work doesn’t DEMAND for LOVE from others, instead it GIVES [SUPPLIES] LOVE lavishly to synergised HOPE and FAITH in any situation of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Let’s remember that God gave up His Son [Jesus Christ] for love toward us – and at a spiritual cost and sacrifice. And Jesus Christ gave up His life for love – at a spiritual cost and sacrifice. And the Priest – SAINT VALENTINE – gave up His life for love – at a human [physical] cost and sacrifice. This is the reason there’s SAINT VALENTINE’S memorable DAY of remembrance today. It’s the spiritual realm that gives life and birth to the physical realm. And you can give love when love is at a default in your being as expected of the reborn of God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit that dwells in us. [Romans 5:5; John 14:16-17]

WHAT ARE YOU GIVING UP, FOR YOU TO ENSURE AND ASSURE THAT ‘LOVE’ THRIVES AND LIVES IN YOU AND THROUGH TODAY FOR THE GOOD OF THE YOU AND HUMANITY.

The Priest – SAINT VALENTINE, paid with his life to give love and lovers an opportunity to ensure their assured love to each other. And on a day and date as this day and date, he died in honour for his good and goodness to others – indicating that LOVE IS AT A COST. It’s not cheap and must not be cheapen by any – and only those who knows and understands the worth can truly appreciate the cause of the Priest – SAINT VALENTINE!

Therefore, I say to you:

* Let THERE be LOVE in all you.

* Live to CELEBRATE LOVE always and not only for a moment.

* There is NO FEAR in LOVE – genuine love cast out fears and mistrust.

* Give LOVE a chance to be Celebrated in others.

* Let LOVE be – beyond walls and borders, and irrespective.

* Let LOVE thrive and be kept alive and ignited always in your relationship.

* Let LOVE always rules and reign supreme in your relationship.

* Let LOVE be memorable within you at any cost and sacrifice.

* Let LOVE be the hub of motivation in all you do

And I do pray: May You KNOW and UNDERSTAND the essence of Saint VALENTINE’S Day in making LOVE a reality; and may you intentionally, cautiously, graciously and gracefully ensure that you enjoy your Day and moment in LOVE accordingly and irrespectively.

Ensure, that you KNOW the LOVE Of Christ which SURPASSES, TRANSCENDS and SUPERCEDES the SENSE Knowledge as you mark and celebrate the Saint VALENTINE’S Day of LOVE in love.

“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, FOUR WHICH I KNOW NOT: 19 the way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and THE WAY OF A MAN WITH A WOMAN” Proverbs 30:18-19.

MARRYING THE WOMAN YOU LOVE IS GOOD. BUT LOVING THE WOMAN YOU MARRIED – THAT IS VERY SPECIAL.

“Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for LOVE IS STRONG AS DEATH; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. 7 MANY WATERS CANNOT QUENCH LOVE, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned” Songs of Solomon 8:6-7.

Someone said:

“A HAPPY MAN MARRIES THE WOMAN HE LOVES – BUT A HAPPIER MAN LOVES THE WOMAN HE MARRIES” – [Isaac Kubvoruno]

“LOVE – Is the BEAUTIFUL GIFT, given to us to SHARE in grace – and it’s about LOVING GOD, AND LOVING OTHERS AND LOVING YOURSELF IN HIS LOVE. In same scenario, it’s about dating again and again and again . . . and again the one you genuinely and truly LOVE – through the most EXCELLENT WAY which is LOVE WAY, in the GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL act in doing life TOGETHER in Christ Jesus stead. Amen” – [Chukie MORSI Snr].

And the greater LOVE involves laying down one’s life for the other – let’s make it happen in the grace as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 GREATER LOVE hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” (John 15:12-14).

GENUINE LOVE – GOD’S LOVE

By Leave a Comment

GENUINE LOVE – GOD’S LOVE: KNOWS NO FEAR IN CHRIST JESUS!

“You ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them, because He who is IN you is GREATER than he who is IN the world. 5 They ARE of the world. Therefore they speak AS of the world, and the world HEARS them. 6 We ARE of God. He who KNOWS God HEARS us; he who is not of God DOES NOT HEAR us. By this we KNOW the spirit of TRUTH and the spirit of ERROR” 1 John 4:4-6/NKJV.

Genuine Love, which is of God and God personified – KNOWS NO FEAR – for as God is LOVE and in LOVE in Christ Jesus – so ARE we in His world, and in and for this world. Meaning, if we ARE of God, and He is LOVE personified, we ARE then of Love and should live IN love and THROUGH love, to indicate that LOVE is personified also in us, in this present world of evil, hatred, wickedness and of SENTIMENTS, PREJUDICE and DISSIMULATION. Genuine LOVE is perfectly unique that it will CAST OUT and SUBJUGATE the spirit of FEAR and all it represents; it’s simply because the ANTIDOTE to FEAR is FAITH, and FAITH is only EFFECTIVE and RESULTS ORIENTED because it operates through LOVE in order to enhance all about our doing life and doing good and godly, in Christ Jesus.

“Herein is our LOVE made PERFECT (COMPLETE, WHOLE, MATURED), that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in LOVE; but PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR, because FEAR involves TORMENT. But he who FEARS has not been MADE PERFECT IN LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18 Emphasis Mine.

“For [if we ARE] in Christ Jesus NEITHER circumcision NOR uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and WORKING THROUGH LOVE” Galatians 5:6/Amplified.

Love is gracious and nobody ever reject genuine love when it shows up. Not even the Devil if he has an opportunity to be shown which unfortunately not available to his and cohorts’ reach. Any sign of fear in love, it’s not of God. Anyone that does indicates that they LOVE you but creates atmosphere of fears and fear phobia effects, just run away from such an atmosphere. Such love is not PERFECT – MATURED, COMPLETE and WHOLE [WHOLESOME], to sustain your presence. It will lead to control and abuse and sometimes creates an inhumane activity. HENCE, I HEREBY ASK YOU NOW:

** HAVE YOU BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE?

** ARE YOU NOW AFRAID OF LIVING AND WALKING IN LOVE?

** IS THERE THE FEAR TO TAKE ON THE EXCELLENT WAY WHICH IS OF LOVE – IN DOING LIFE AND LIVING GODLY?

** ARE YOU CAPTIVATED BY FEAR AND ITS PHOBIA?

Don’t give in to FEAR in your determination and ability to do life and live godly through love. Fear shouldn’t be in your package in love, for GENUINE love which is of God is in our human HEARTS, and not in the human HEAD; meaning no room or licence to have the grip of fear or be held as a prey and victim, for in the realms of God’s love there’s no – fear, intimidation, timidity, cowardice, wickedness and evil in it, except there’s PERVERSION.

For its when PURPOSE of a thing is misappropriated that ABUSE and PERVERSION sets in. And that’s not enough to be afraid in living and walking in love as God’s own children, that ought to be carriers of love personified in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. There’s no reason to be afraid to love in redemption as God’s own. You are given and kept by the spirit of love and not of fear [with all its effects and attributes].

“For God did not GIVE us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND JUDGMENT and PERSONAL DISCIPLINE [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7/Amplified.

The Genuine – LOVE OF GOD – is possible and it’s here: it’s graciously and lavishly shared abroad in our HEARTS (spirit being) by the Holy Spirit is given to us. And God has commended and demonstrated His love toward us in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED out in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us .  . . 8 But God DEMONSTRATES [COMMENDS] His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8/NKJV.

Perfect love, meaning, genuine love will cast out the spirit of fear, cowardice and inferiority complex of all forms of perversion. God is love, He can’t offer or make you live and walk in fear when you are living and walking in His love. Where genuine love is – shows up, there is no room for lust or hate or selfishness or greed or any form of perversion.

JUST KNOW THIS – GENUINE LOVE OF GOD – KNOWS NO FEAR – FOR AS HE’S IN LOVE – SO ARE WE IN HIS WORLD OF LOVE, IN THIS WORLD.

Checklist yourself today, IF IN FEAR, CAST IT OUT in God’s LOVE. And Be FREE and be BLESSED. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Herein is our love MADE PERFECT, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in LOVE; but perfect love casts out fear, because FEAR involves TORMENT. But he who FEARS has not been MADE PERFECT IN LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18.

“In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love [dread does not exist]. But PERFECT (complete, full-grown) love drives out FEAR, because Fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is AFRAID [of God’s judgment] is not PERFECTED in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]” 1 John 4:17-18 (Amplified).

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:7.

“For God did not GIVE us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND JUDGMENT and PERSONAL DISCIPLINE [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7/Amplified.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS (SPIRIT MAN) by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.

DISCIPLINE & CHASTISEMENT – ARE GOD’S LOVE PACT

By Leave a Comment

DISCIPLINE & CHASTISEMENT – ARE GOD’S LOVE PACT – FOR HIS REDEEMED CHILDREN: BEING DISCIPLINE THROUGH GOD’S MIRROR OF LOVE WORTH IT – DON’T RUN AWAY!

“Better is an OPEN REPRIMAND [of LOVING CORRECTION] than LOVE that is HIDDEN [CONCEALED]. 6  Faithful are the WOUNDS of a friend [who CORRECTS out of LOVE and CONCERN], but the KISSES of an ENEMY are DECEITFUL [because they SERVE his hidden agenda]” Proverbs 27:5-6/Amplified.

I want to believe that you know that God has your best interests in heart’s at – any day, any where and any time. And that God LOVES you unconditionally too and irrespective. And so, are good and godly people towards you in every respective in Christ Jesus stead. And we ARE only being DISCIPLINED and CHASTISED and REPRIMANDED and REBUKED by God in Christ Jesus stead, ONLY on matters that are unscriptural, and of naughtiness, and of foolish behavioural manners contrary to the context of His will for us as His dear children, in order to bring about the good and goodness out of us.

And our ability to ENDURE God’s DISCIPLINES and CHASTISEMENTS when it SHOWS up – it’s for our OWN good and eternal VIRTUE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. God’s discipline [chastisement] is one aspects of the Christian faith in Christ Jesus, that many so-called Believer’s doesn’t want to reckon with; and especially when matters of LOVE pops up about them. And, when God have to use their heartfelt loving friends or colleagues or parents or any avenues deemed fit by Him to help them stand upright and strengthen up for their own good and goodness – they can’t and won’t fathom it until they found themselves in a messy place – because of their leaning on the deception and deceitfulness of the enemy and cohorts that only appeals to their sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

“And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not DESPISE the CHASTENING of the Lord, Nor be DISCOURAGED when you are REBUKED by Him; 6 For WHOM the Lord LOVES He CHASTENS, And SCOURGES every son whom He RECEIVES. 7 If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN?” Hebrews 12:5-7.

Living and walking in God’s love also connotes, endorses, embraces and embodies the act of being DISCIPLINE and CHASTISEMENTS. Meaning God will discipline any of His REDEEMED children whom He LOVES, in order to bring out His very best in them and to give them the living worth they crave. This is part of the LOVE PACT of God.

The reason being that the redemptive LIBERTY, that is, the FREEDOM in Christ Jesus is not an OCCASION for one to live and walk in the flesh or sin, instead, it’s to LIVE and WALK in GOD’S  LOVE. Simply put, there’s nothing like or as ‘it doesn’t matter what I do, as long as God loves me’. NO, it DOES matter what you do privately and publicly, because those that God LOVES, He DISCIPLINE and CHASTISES them, except they choose to be bastards or illegitimate children, which you ARE not.

“If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN?  8 But if you are without CHASTENING, of which all have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE and not sons” Hebrews 12:7-8.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you live within the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead; and for any reason that you detailed anyway, may you be able to take on the discipline of God without a fight, so that you can have the fulness of God that’s at work for your good in everyway. 1 John 1:5-10.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For if we would JUDGE (EXAMINE) ourselves, we should not be JUDGED (EXAMINE). 32 But when we are JUDGED (EXAMINED), we are CHASTENED of the Lord, that we should not be CONDEMNED with the world” 1 Corinthians 11:31-32 (Emphasis Mine).

“For consider Him who ENDURED such HOSTILITY from sinners against Himself, lest you become WEARY and DISCOURAGED in your souls.  4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.  5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not DESPISE the CHASTENING of the Lord, Nor be DISCOURAGED when you are REBUKED by Him; 6 For whom the Lord LOVES He CHASTENS, And SCOURGES every son whom He RECEIVES. 7 If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN?  8 But if you are without CHASTENING, of which all have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE and not sons.  9 Furthermore, we have had HUMAN fathers who CORRECTED us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more READILY be in SUBJECTION to the Father of spirits and live?  10 For they indeed for a few days CHASTENED us as seemed best to them, but He for our PROFIT, that we may be PARTAKERS of His holiness.  11 Now no CHASTENING seems to be JOYFUL for the present, but PAINFUL; nevertheless, afterward it yields the PEACEABLE fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” Hebrews 12:3-11.

“STAND FAST therefore in the LIBERTY wherewith Christ hath MADE US FREE, and be not ENTANGLED again with the YOKE OF BONDAGE . . . For, brethren, ye have been called unto LIBERTY; only use not liberty for an OCCASION to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye BITE and DEVOUR one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law” Galatians 5:1, 13-18.

“This is the message [of God’s promised revelation] which we have heard from Him and now announce to you, that God is Light [He is holy, His message is truthful, He is perfect in righteousness], and in Him there is no darkness at all [no sin, no wickedness, no imperfection]. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness [of sin], we lie and do not practice the truth; 7 but if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. 8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude ourselves and the truth is not in us. [His word does not live in our hearts.] 9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. 10 If we say that we have not sinned [refusing to admit acts of sin], we make Him [out to be] a liar [by contradicting Him] and His word is not in us” 1 John 1:5-10 Amplified.
