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 you know God has your best interests at heart – any day, anywhere, and anytime. And that God LOVES you unconditionally, too, and irrespective. And so, be good and godly towards others in every respect, 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. Therefore, DON’T RUN AWAY FROM GOD LIKE ADAM AND EVE, BUT RUN TOWARDS GOD EVEN IN DISCIPLINE. Running away is what Satan and cohort’s wants you to do – that’s worse for you because you will fall into the wickedness of satanic traps. Running towards God will provide safety. Be as the prodigal son and return home to your Father God and be as David to be at God’s gatehouse rather than in satanic domain of wickedness. 

“. . . 7 They go from STRENGTH TO STRENGTH; Each one appears before God in Zion . . . 10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a DOORKEEPER in the house of my God Than dwell in the TENTS OF WICKEDNESS. 11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly . . .” Psalms 84:1-12/NKJV. 

“. . . 17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I WILL ARISE AND GO TO MY FATHER, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, [19] and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants . . .” Luke 15:11-32/NKJV. 

And our ability to ENDURE God’s DISCIPLINES and CHASTISEMENTS when it SHOWS up – is for our OWN good and eternal VIRTUE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. God’s discipline [chastisement] is one aspect 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 PRAYER that you live within the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus’ stead; and for any reason that you detail anyway, may you be able embrace the discipline of God without a fight, so that you can have the fulness of God that’s at work for your good in every way. 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.

BEING DISCIPLINED THROUGH GOD’S MIRROR OF LOVE

BEING DISCIPLINED THROUGH GOD’S MIRROR OF LOVE: IT’S GOD’S LOVE PACT FOR HIS REDEEMED CHILDREN!

“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.

God LOVES You – you must ENDURE His DISCIPLINES when it SHOWS up – it’s for your OWN good and goodness in Christ Jesus stead. For God only discipline those He loves to bring out the best out of them for their fruitful character and behaviour in the grace. Discipline is God’s way of pruning us to be fruitful inn His will and purpose.

“I am the true vine, and my father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that BEARETH NOT FRUIT HE TAKETH AWAY: and every branch that BEARETH FRUIT, he PURGETH it, that it may BRING FORTH MORE FRUIT. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing . . . 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye BEAR MUCH FRUIT; so shall ye be my disciples . . 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” John 15:1-16.

Living and walking in God’s love also connotes, endorses, embraces and embodies the act of being DISCIPLINED. 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, because those that God LOVES, He DISCIPLINE them, except they are 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 every way. 1 John 1:5-10.

God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in His love through discipline in the grace and faith our Saviour, Lord and King, Jesus Christ. Amen.

LOVE AT ITS BEST

LOVE AT ITS BEST: IT DOES INSTRUCTS AND DISCIPLINES!

You may not like and love this except you genuinely wants God WORD to define you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

“And ye have FORGOTTEN the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, DESPISE not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor FAINT when thou art REBUKED of him: 6 for WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTENETH, AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH. 7 If ye endure CHASTENING, God DEALETH with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father CHASTENETH not? 8 But if ye be without CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are PARTAKERS, then are ye BASTARDS, and not sons” Hebrews 12:5-8.

For some, LOVE is about been spoken to softly, taken to the mall for shopping, being showed with gifts now and then, taken for holidays, spoilt with every good things or goodies while their short falls in real life failings are never mentioned or told them, which would rather help them amend, brace up, mature and grow; they don’t realised the dangers of not wanting the truth, until they found themselves in the break points of life deceptions, because such LOVE was never MEASURED with the true reality of life – discipline and instructions to righteousness.

Herein are three hard TRUTH in the lots about genuine LOVE one needs to give thoughts towards. There are needful in order to help you, and or your friend, spouse, colleagues and those you love and cares about:

  1. LOVE with ‘OPEN REBUKES’ – helps to DELIVER and SAVE – Proverbs 27:5-6.

“OPEN REBUKE is better than SECRET love. 6 FAITHFUL are the WOUNDS of a friend; but the KISSES of an ENEMY are deceitful” Proverbs 27:5-6.

  1. LOVE That ‘CHASTENS’ – helps to MOULD and AMEND – Hebrews 12:5-11.

“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor faint when thou art REBUKED of him: 6 for WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTENETH, AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH. 7 If ye endure CHASTENING, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father CHASTENETH not? 8 But if ye be without CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are PARTAKERS, then are ye BASTARDS, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which CORRECTED us, and we gave them REVERENCE: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days CHASTENED us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be PARTAKERS of his holiness. 11 Now no CHASTENING for the present seemeth to be joyous, but GRIEVOUS: nevertheless afterward it YIELDETH the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are EXERCISED thereby” Hebrews 12:5-11.

  1.  Love that PROTECTS – helps to COVERS, OVERLOOKS, MAKES UP and to EMANCIPATES from further sins and errors – 1 Peter 4:8/Proverbs 10:12.

“And above all things have fervent love among yourselves: for LOVE shall COVER (OVERLOOK, MAKES UP) the multitude of sins” 1 Peter 4:8 (Emphasis Mine).

“Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love COVERETH (OVERLOOK) all sins” Proverbs 10:12 (Emphasis Mine).

God wants us to love while we enjoy His love shed and spread abroad in our inner hearts by the Holy Spirit of love. It’s by this love of God we are saved. And God has commended His Love towards us in Christ Jesus to enable us live in Christ Jesus stead by it.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

“If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not LOVE [for others growing out of God’s love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. 2 And if I have the gift of prophecy [and speak a new message from God to the people], and understand all mysteries, and [possess] all knowledge; and if I have all [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love [reaching out to others], I am nothing. 3 If I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it does me no good at all. 4 LOVE endures with patience and serenity, LOVE is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; LOVE does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. 5 It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. 6 It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail]. 7 LOVE bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening]. 8 Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]. But as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for the gift of special knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part [for our knowledge is fragmentary and incomplete]. 10 But when that which is complete and perfect comes, that which is incomplete and partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. 12 For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God]. 13 And now there remain: faith [abiding trust in God and His promises], hope [confident expectation of eternal salvation], love [unselfish love for others growing out of God’s love for me], these three [the choicest graces]; but the greatest of these is love” 1 Corinthians 13 Amplified.

  1. *** LOVE That ‘CHASTENS’ – helps to MOLD and AMEND – Hebrews 12:5-11.

“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor faint when thou art REBUKED of him: 6 for WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTENETH, AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH. 7 If ye endure CHASTENING, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father CHASTENETH not? 8 But if ye be without CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are PARTAKERS, then are ye BASTARDS, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which CORRECTED us, and we gave them REVERENCE: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days CHASTENED us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be PARTAKERS of his holiness. 11 Now no CHASTENING for the present seemeth to be joyous, but GRIEVOUS: nevertheless afterward it YIELDETH the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are EXERCISED thereby” Hebrews 12:5-11.

  1. *** Love that PROTECTS – helps to COVERS, OVERLOOKS, MAKES UP and to EMANCIPATES from further sins and errors – 1 Peter 4:8/Proverbs 10:12.

“And above all things have fervent love among yourselves: for LOVE shall COVER (OVERLOOK, MAKES UP) the multitude of sins” 1 Peter 4:8 (Emphasis Mine).

“Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love COVERETH (OVERLOOK) all sins” Proverbs 10:12 (Emphasis Mine).

God wants us to love while we enjoy His love shed and spread abroad in our inner hearts by the Holy Spirit of love. It’s by this love of God we are saved. And God has commended His Love towards us in Christ Jesus to enable us live in Christ Jesus stead by it.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

“If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not LOVE [for others growing out of God’s love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. 2 And if I have the gift of prophecy [and speak a new message from God to the people], and understand all mysteries, and [possess] all knowledge; and if I have all [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love [reaching out to others], I am nothing. 3 If I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it does me no good at all. 4 LOVE endures with patience and serenity, LOVE is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; LOVE does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. 5 It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. 6 It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail]. 7 LOVE bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening]. 8 Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]. But as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for the gift of special knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part [for our knowledge is fragmentary and incomplete]. 10 But when that which is complete and perfect comes, that which is incomplete and partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. 12 For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God]. 13 And now there remain: faith [abiding trust in God and His promises], hope [confident expectation of eternal salvation], love [unselfish love for others growing out of God’s love for me], these three [the choicest graces]; but the greatest of these is love” 1 Corinthians 13 Amplified.

DISCIPLINE & CHASTISEMENT – ARE GOD’S LOVE PACT

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!

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 too  irrespective. And to being disciplined and chastised for any unscriptural naughtiness and behavioural manners as His children makes the good and goodness of you. And your ability to ENDURE His DISCIPLINES and  CHASTISEMENTS when it SHOWS up – it’s for your OWN good and eternal virtue. That’s one aspects many doesn’t want to reckon with, when matters of love pops up about them.

“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.

“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.

“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.

LOVE AT ITS BEST: IT DOES INSTRUCTS AND DISCIPLINES!

LOVE AT ITS BEST: IT DOES INSTRUCTS AND DISCIPLINES!

You may not like and love this except you genuinely wants God WORD to define you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

“And ye have FORGOTTEN the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, DESPISE not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor faint when thou art REBUKED of him: 6 for WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTENETH, AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH. 7 If ye endure CHASTENING, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father CHASTENETH not? 8 But if ye be without CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are PARTAKERS, then are ye BASTARDS, and not sons” Hebrews 12:5-8.

For some, LOVE is about been spoken to softly, taken to the mall for shopping, being showed with gifts now and then, taken for holidays, spoilt with every good things or goodies while their short falls in real life failings are never mentioned or told them, which would rather help them amend, brace up, mature and grow; they don’t realized the dangers of not wanting the truth, until they found themselves in the break points of life deceptions, because such LOVE was never MEASURED with the true reality of life – discipline and instructions to righteousness.

Herein are three hard TRUTH in the lots about genuine LOVE one needs to give thoughts towards. There are needful in order to help you, and or your friend, spouse, colleagues and those you love and cares about:

1.*** LOVE with ‘OPEN REBUKES’ – helps to DELIVER and SAVE – Proverbs 27:5-6.

“OPEN REBUKE is better than SECRET love. 6 FAITHFUL are the WOUNDS of a friend; but the KISSES of an ENEMY are deceitful” Proverbs 27:5-6.

  1. *** LOVE That ‘CHASTENS’ – helps to MOLD and AMEND – Hebrews 12:5-11.

“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor faint when thou art REBUKED of him: 6 for WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTENETH, AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH. 7 If ye endure CHASTENING, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father CHASTENETH not? 8 But if ye be without CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are PARTAKERS, then are ye BASTARDS, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which CORRECTED us, and we gave them REVERENCE: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days CHASTENED us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be PARTAKERS of his holiness. 11 Now no CHASTENING for the present seemeth to be joyous, but GRIEVOUS: nevertheless afterward it YIELDETH the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are EXERCISED thereby” Hebrews 12:5-11.

  1. *** Love that PROTECTS – helps to COVERS, OVERLOOKS, MAKES UP and to EMANCIPATES from further sins and errors – 1 Peter 4:8/Proverbs 10:12.

“And above all things have fervent love among yourselves: for LOVE shall COVER (OVERLOOK, MAKES UP) the multitude of sins” 1 Peter 4:8 (Emphasis Mine).

“Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love COVERETH (OVERLOOK) all sins” Proverbs 10:12 (Emphasis Mine).

God wants us to love while we enjoy His love shed and spread abroad in our inner hearts by the Holy Spirit of love. It’s by this love of God we are saved. And God has commended His Love towards us in Christ Jesus to enable us live in Christ Jesus stead by it.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

“If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not LOVE [for others growing out of God’s love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction]. 2 And if I have the gift of prophecy [and speak a new message from God to the people], and understand all mysteries, and [possess] all knowledge; and if I have all [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love [reaching out to others], I am nothing. 3 If I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it does me no good at all. 4 LOVE endures with patience and serenity, LOVE is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; LOVE does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. 5 It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. 6 It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail]. 7 LOVE bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening]. 8 Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]. But as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for the gift of special knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part [for our knowledge is fragmentary and incomplete]. 10 But when that which is complete and perfect comes, that which is incomplete and partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. 12 For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God]. 13 And now there remain: faith [abiding trust in God and His promises], hope [confident expectation of eternal salvation], love [unselfish love for others growing out of God’s love for me], these three [the choicest graces]; but the greatest of these is love” 1 Corinthians 13 Amplified.

“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.
