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 rejects genuine love when it shows up. Not even the Devil if he had an opportunity to be shown, which, unfortunately, isn’t available to him and his cohorts. Any sign of fear in love, it’s not of God. Anyone that says they LOVE you but creates an atmosphere of fear 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 create 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 PHOBIAS?  

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 or evil, 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 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 shows up, there is no room for lust, hate, selfishness, 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 – FOR HIS REDEEMED CHILDREN

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 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.

YOU’VE BEING MADE A MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS

By Leave a Comment

YOU’VE BEING MADE A MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS: THAT’S ONLY MADE POSSIBLE – BY GOD’S LOVE THAT’S EMBEDDED IN US! 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is SHED [SPREAD, POURED] ABROAD [LAVISHLY, ABUNDANTLY] in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH [CLEARLY SHOWS, CLEARLY PROVES] HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we WERE yet sinners, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8. 

There’s the need today to go back to the basic foundation and fundamental principles of the kingdom of God for the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. This is important, in order to advance in God’s cause on earth and to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS. And this is good, especially in our path of doing life and living godly; otherwise, life MATTERS will be an ILLUSION, UNSTEADY and very much FRUSTRATING, even when we have concluded we ARE born of God in Christ Jesus stead. 

And one aspect of the great basic principle of strength to being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD, is we knowing we ARE what we ARE by God’s LOVE; and it’s in our LOVE for Him in His principled LOVE definition and not our made up definition – I mean His love and not in our self-made love that’s built on sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. For in God’s Love, His PURPOSE in us is fulfilled, complete, whole, matured and such like. Hence, there’s the need to stir up our innermost spirit being, as Apostle Paul instructed Timothy, in order to appropriate this basic principle, upon which WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in Christ Jesus stead, in Father God. Amen. 2 Timothy 1:6. 

And herein lies, not limited to, the basic principle to uphold God’s LOVE for us, to MAKE us MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Him, in Christ Jesus stead: 

  • That all things will work together for the good of those who LOVE God in His LOVE for His PURPOSE. Romans 8:28. 
  • And because of God’s LOVE that’s embedded in us to LOVE in His LOVE, we ARE enshrined as the CALLED, FOREKNOWN, JUSTIFIED, PREDESTINED, CONFORMED and GLORIFIED people of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Romans 5:5, 8; Romans 8:28-30 
  • And God REVEALS all things to them that LOVES Him in His LOVE by the Holy Spirit, which is given to us and embedded in us. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Romans 5:5, 8; John 14:16-17. 
  • And God only CHASTISES those He LOVES and cares about, in order to make them BECOME who they OUGHT to be in Him; otherwise, one is a BASTARD and ILLEGITIMATE child in Him, if no chastisement in LOVE. Hebrews 12:5-11. 
  • The LOVE of God in Christ Jesus, TRANSCENDS and SURPASSED the sense knowledge of limitations. Ephesians 3:17-20. 
  • We are INSEPARABLE by God’s LOVE, and we are persuaded by God’s LOVE. Romans 8:35-39. 
  • We are FREE from CONDEMNATION by God’s LOVE. Romans 8:31-34; Romans 8:1-5, 6-17. 
  • We ARE indeed a MORE THAN CONQUERORS through Him that LOVED us. Romans 8:37. 
  • We ARE MADE to be a people that are CHARACTERISED by God’s LOVE in every way of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Romans 12:9-21; Matthew 5:43-48. 
  • The LOVE of God in Christ Jesus MADE us MORE THAN CONQUERORS over earthly elements of limitations that challenges our FAITH, that tends to SEPARATE us, CONDEMN us, in doing life and living godly in the world. Romans 8:35-39.  

Such elements but not limited are: 

  • Condemnation 
  • Tribulation 
  • Distress 
  • Persecution 
  • Famine 
  • Nakedness 
  • Peril 
  • Sword 
  • Death 
  • Life 
  • Angels 
  • Principalities 
  • Powers 
  • Things present 
  • Things to come 
  • Height 
  • Depth 
  • Any other creature 

I PRAY that you give yourself to LOVE God by walking in His LOVE in Christ Jesus stead, as He has loved us, so that you can comprehend in fullness and totality His love, that TRANSCENDS and SURPASSED the SENSE Knowledge LOVE, that is only within the bonds of how and what you – feel, taste, hear, see and smell. Ephesians 3:17-19. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Romans 8:28. 

WE ARE BEING MADE MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS; IT’S ONLY BEEN MADE POSSIBLE BY GOD’S LOVE THAT’S EMBEDDED IN US.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED not his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY any thing to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is RISEN again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us. 35 Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:28-39. 

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. 

“So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:17-19 (Amplified). 

“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. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-29

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE

By Leave a Comment

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE: FOR YOU ARE GOD’S EMBASSY! 

“Now then we ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20. 

Whoever you are that’s reading this now, by the virtue of you being reborn of God in Christ Jesus stead, you ARE, [AND NOT WILL BE], Christ’s AMBASSADOR otherwise AN AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST in the grace. And the mandate to showcase GOD’S LOVE in Christ Jesus is in you as a default, knowingly or unknowingly. And you ARE not just God’s Diplomat only, but God’s EMBASSY, His EARTHLY residence, dwelling place, for you ARE the TEMPLE [TABERNACLE] of the Holy Spirit, God’s dwelling place in Christ Jesus stead [1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18]; and you ARE God’s shining City at the Hill top that outshines all darkness and through whom all in darkness might locate God’s love, with assured hope, to receive the light and enlightenment that God’s love gives to all in darkness, from the light of love that’s in you, in Christ Jesus stead [Matthew 5:14-16]. For you are a living EPISTLE, manifestly endowed with God’s love and grace, for God’s WORD dwells richly in you. THE WORD that’s in you gives you the illumination and enlightenment to outshine all darkness and the dark activities of the enemy and his cohorts. 

“Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2 Ye ARE our EPISTLE written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 3 forasmuch as ye are MANIFESTLY declared to be THE EPISTLE of Christ MINISTERED by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart” 2 Corinthians 3:1-3.                          

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. 4 In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the LIGHT SHINETH in DARKNESS; and the DARKNESS COMPREHENDED it not” John 1:1-5. 

And being Christ’s Ambassador in love, indicates you are the living WITNESS and EPISTLES being seen and read of all men, to transmit the genuine LOVE of Christ Jesus, that SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS all reasoning for the good and goodness of all. And being an Ambassador of the love of God guarantees you to be filled with the fulness of God, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. 

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which PASSETH [SURPASSES, TRANSCENDS] KNOWLEDGE, that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19. 

You ARE God’s Diplomat, Don’t be MISTAKEN or be ERRONEOUS as Adam-Eve. You ARE the reason why the earth was created and made; and you ARE blessed and to be a blessing in it [Isaiah 45:11-13; Psalms 8:4-8; Psalms 116:6; Genesis 12:1-3; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14]. You ARE representing the heavens on the earthly affairs, and it’s your highest calling, and must be maximised while you are having the opportunity [1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12]. It’s up to you if you want to be a genuine ambassador for Christ Jesus in promoting God’s genuinely and unadulterated love, or you want to be that wicked ambassador who is prone to be unfaithful, unscriptural, adulterated and counterfeits camouflage as God’s love in Christ Jesus. 

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

God’s intent is that through you, His embassy and city of light, shall true love be lavishly shed abroad [beyond walls] and without sentiments, prejudice, dissimulation [John 13:34-35; John 15:12-14; Romans 5:5-8], just as true prosperity be spread abroad [Psalms 35:27; Zechariah 1:17; Joshua 1:8]. And when you take your glorious high throne place of grace unselfishly in Christ love, others will be blessed [Jeremiah 17:12. Therefore, it’s time to ARISE, let it be for the good of others as being Christ’s ambassador of love to humanity. And the journey starts now from where you are into the ends of the earth as true witness of God’s love in Christ Jesus [Acts 1:8]. 

For you ARE God’s Diplomat, maximise it as being Christ’s ambassador in love, as you do life and live godly. 

Be blessed in the grace to love in Christ Jesus.

YOUR PREPAREDNESS DEFINES YOUR CAPACITY TO LOVE

YOUR PREPAREDNESS DEFINES YOUR CAPACITY TO LOVE: BE INTENTIONAL TO LOVE BY GOD’S LOVE!  

“But in your hearts REVERE Christ as Lord. Always be PREPARED to give an ANSWER to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with GENTLENESS and RESPECT” 1 Peter 3:15/NIV. 

Imagine getting married and getting into a relationship of any kind without knowing of God’s Love in Christ Jesus stead for yourself. And if I may ask, how many scriptural faith-based books have you read for yourself in respect to knowledge and understanding of God’s LOVE to help you navigate any form of relationships you may want to embark upon or you are already involved with at this very moment. It’s high time we looked inward and took Biblical mirror to examine such relationships and see if they’re being built on God’s love. GOD CAN ONLY COMMEND WHAT HE COMMISSION [COMMAND] IN HIS LOVE. Hence there’s the need to LOVE the WORD of GOD through God’s love in the grace [1 John 5 :3]. And you can’t drink your own medicine of assumed love and ask God to take responsibility and accountability for your making and happening, without taking any sense of repentance and assurance by you, to address your state of being, and for you to move in an onward and upward trajectory in making an intentional decision to pursue God’s love definition for good and goodness in the grace. JUST THINK ABOUT IT NOW. 

“But you must continue in the things which you have LEARNED and been ASSURED of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the HOLY SCRIPTURES , which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be COMPLETE, thoroughly EQUIPPED for every GOOD work” 2 Timothy 3:14-17. 

“But be DOERS of the WORD, and not HEARERS only, DECEIVING yourselves. [23] For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a MIRROR; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who LOOKS into the PERFECT law of LIBERTY and CONTINUES in it, and is not a FORGETFUL hearer but a DOER of the work, this one will be blessed6 in what he DOES” James 1:22-25/NKJV. 

Your Spiritual PREPAREDNESS to a divinely REVEALED cause is the principal path to enable you have an ANSWER to any QUEST you may want to embark upon in the journey of God’s love. And to help you navigate your relationship no matter what may, and the need to be intentional and armed gracious hearts as Jesus did as you don’t know what each day may bring and what each relationship may throw on you in respect: your spouse in marriage, family members, work colleagues, friends or strangers at work places of doing life and even in churches of worship and such like though not mentioned here. 

“And in the morning, LONG BEFORE DAYLIGHT, He got up and went out to a DESERTED [SOLITARY] place, and there He PRAYED “ Mark 1:35/Amplified Classic Edition. 

“So all bore WITNESS to Him, and MARVELED at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of His MOUTH. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22. 

For being informed is to help you make your own informed decisions without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation. Be PREPARED to be intentional to SEARCH and STUDY the SCRIPTURES as you do PRAYERS to energise and synergies your being in the grace. For God’s love is firstly godly, meaning it’s spiritual, that’s why it can’t be limited by any earthly factor. And God’s love is not limited by your geography and colour and religion. 

“John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who LOVED US and WASHED US from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has MADE US kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:4-6 [Revelation 5:9-10; Galatians 3:26-29] 

“Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11. These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and SEARCHED the SCRIPTURES daily to find out whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men” Acts 17:10-12. 

When God’s love is actively alive in you, know that you can’t just suddenly stop loving because of friction with whosoever, because God’s love makes all friction good, meaning makes all things to work together for good. If you’ve stopped loving for any reason, it means you never had God’s love as a DEFAULT in the first place. Do yourself a favour before you hurt someone else: take a hard look within and conduct a spiritual self-evaluation and examination – it’s worth it. You can make a fresh start today. 

“And we KNOW that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD to those who LOVE God, to those who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/NKJV.  

You can’t offer what you don’t have, meaning what you have no knowledge and understand about; you will struggle to fully comprehend it to meet the quest of yours and other human hearts. If you lack the knowledge of God’s love in Christ Jesus stead, you will offer nothing, but derivatives love that’s built on the noise about you and you will be shallowed in your walk in God’s love in the grace. You need to crave earnestly to study to know the God kind of love that transcends and surpasses the five senses [see, hear, feel, smell and taste] definition of love. 

“That Christ may dwell in your HEARTS [SPIRIT-BEING] through faith; that you, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE ve, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all the saints what is the WIDTH and LENGTH and DEPTH and HEIGHT — 19 TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST which PASSES [TRANSCENDS, SURPASSES] KNOWLEDGE [HUMAN SENSES]; that you may be FILLED with all the FULLNESS of God” Ephesians 3 :17-19 NKJV.  

You need to study to know the love of God in Christ Jesus stead; and then in understanding the depth, the width, the height and breath, you can be grounded and rooted to do life and live godly in the grace by the Holy Spirit of love that’s given to us to explore and express God’s love intentionally. 

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED [LAVISHED] out in our HEARTS [SPIRIT-BEING] by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:5. 

It is how much you are genuinely informed of God’s love that you can carry to fellowship and relate to others of your God’s love in Christ Jesus stead. 

Therefore I say TO you, get to KNOW, take time to own a study, then study to KNOW and UNDERSTAND on the materials available to YOU of love, through the Holy writ, otherwise the Holy Bible, in order to authenticate the truth of God’s love in Christ Jesus stead. You will be amazed how much you can literally know that will influence your perspective, context, concept and more, of God’s love embedded you in the grace when you approach the WORD in love as TRUTH. [1 John 5:3].  

For it’s the TRUTH that you know and understand of God’s love that sets you free and gives you the enabling to express the genuine LOVE thereabouts in life and grace [John 8:30-32; John 14:6]; know today that it’s not the religion you’ve imbibed or the culture and traditions you are exposed with or the environment or tongue or religiosity you’ve fallen to, that gives you the definition and true meaning of love. For God is LOVE, and there’s no controversy before or now or will ever be. Your opinion is irrelevant to who God is in the matter of love. [1 John 4:8, 16; 1 Timothy 3:16]. 

BE BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“STUDY and do your best to PRESENT yourself to God APPROVED, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ASHAMED, ACCURATELY handling and SKILLFULLY teaching the WORD of TRUTH” 2 Timothy 2:15/Amplified Classic Edition.  

“The horse is PREPARED for the day of battle, But DELIVERANCE and VICTORY belong to the Lord” Proverbs 21:31/Amplified. 

“The PREPARATIONS of the heart belong to man, But the ANSWER of the tongue is from the Lord. 2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the spirits. 3. COMMIT your works to the Lord, And your THOUGHTS will be ESTABLISHED …. 9 A man’s heart PLANS his way, But the Lord DIRECTS [ESTABLISHES] his STEPS” Proverbs 16:1-2, 9/NKJV. 

“And they sang a NEW SONG, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have REDEEMED us to God by Your blood Out of every TRIBE and TONGUE and PEOPLE and NATION, 10 And have MADE US kings and priests to our God; And we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10. 

“For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER slave nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female; for you are all ONE in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:26-29. 

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFESTED in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, Seen by angels, PREACHED among the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up in glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.

GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD: THE MOMENT-DRIVEN LOVE-BASED Vs THE PURPOSE-DRIVEN LOVE-BASED PERSONALITIES! 

“Now before the Passover Feast, Jesus knew that His hour had come [and it was time] for Him to leave this world and return to the Father. Having [greatly] LOVED His OWN who were in the world, He LOVED them [and CONTINUOUSLY LOVES them with His PERFECT LOVE] to the END (eternally) . . . 34 I am giving you a NEW COMMANDMENT, that you LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Just as I have LOVED you, so you too are to LOVE one another. 35. By this everyone will know that you ARE My DISCIPLES, if you have LOVE and UNSELFISH concern for one another” John 13:1, 34-35/Amplified. 

We live today in a world where LOVE is tested daily, and people are becoming impatient with each other in many aspects of life and respect. Every relationship is being tested daily by the circumstances of life, and many in some cases can’t even give a chance for the other to process or let even process refine, refresh, rejuvenate and rekindle that relationship; it’s so bad in some cases that what they once believed and trusted to becoming that was substantial for greatness and goodness and happiness, is now let into the dish without a sense of remorse. 

You can x-ray and see pains and hurts in business partnership or marital relationship or even friendship, that lots of once a love integration are falling apart in such measures that the level of hatred, anger, wrath, bitterness and such like that’s been exhibited and following the fallout will make you wonder if there was  anything worthwhile at all in the beginning. But when you dissect and spiritually x-ray by the word through the Holy Spirit, you notice gracious signals but because of the lack of understanding of purpose and process by either or both parties, it has given rise to bringing down the house, irrespective. 

And while the enemy and cohorts celebrate over the happened and happenings, the individuals are at depressed state of being, questioning the other person genuine faith and love instead of looking within the mirror of God’s Word and God’s love in Christ Jesus stead that ought to have helped them, but it wasn’t given the chance to make the respective become in their supposed becoming in the grace as set for them.  

“LOVE is to be SINCERE and ACTIVE [the real thing—without GUILE and HYPOCRISY (SENTIMENTS, DISSIMULATION)]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another with [authentic] BROTHERLY affection [as members of one family], give preference to one another in honor; 11 never lagging behind in DILIGENCE; aglow in the Spirit, enthusiastically serving the Lord” Romans 12:9-11/Amplified. 

“The Moment-driven Love-based” personality is the one who is timed-based Believer’s in Christ Jesus; that’s the one that’s consumed to always have an immediate answer and nothing else. And when something isn’t working for their only desired immediate results, he/she will start looking for an alternative solution or escape route from the bonds that’s been established and requires a process to be matured for stability. As such one can’t build anything with such a person. Such a person hates process. Such person does not want to cultivate and wait for the results through preparation, tilling, cultivating, and harvesting. It’s all about immediate results and nothing else. Such a person is always in a haste and when there’s nothing for them at their desired moment, they will shut off the other and shut down whatever obligations they are committed to and break all rules to achieve their wants of trinity: I, ME, MYSELF only. 

“He who CULTIVATES his land will have plenty of bread, But he who follows worthless people and frivolous pursuits will have plenty of poverty. 20 A faithful (right-minded) man will abound with blessings, but he who HURRIES to be rich WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED [THE RESULT OF BREAKING THE LAW]. 21 To have regard for one person over another and to show favoritism is not good, because for a PIECE OF BREAD A MAN WILL TRANSGRESS. 22 He who has an EVIL and ENVIOUS eye HURRIES to be rich And does not know that poverty will come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22/Amplified/Emphasis Mine. 

Unlike the “The Moment-driven Love-based” personality, “The Purpose-driven Love-based” personality is all out for longevity, willingness to walk and work through patience and give the processes time with all the needed environmental cultures to nature and nurture until the desired essence begins to materialise “The Purpose-driven Love-based” person will not get into short cuts or scam or fraud to get to the end results, because it’s intentional, pragmatic, resolved, knowing that to achieve that desired greatness and heights, it’s at a cost which is worthwhile the processing to get there. Such a Believer believed strongly that the PROCESS defines the outcome and not the outcome that defines its wholeness as the “The Moment-driven Love-based”. 

The Purpose-driven Love-based” personality it’s the act of faith standing in the grace, on the God’s love in Christ Jesus stead, as themed for Month February to be our onward and upward trajectory in the grace. For its written in the Holy writ, that at the fulness of God’s process timeline for human redemption, Christ Jesus came into reality to fulfill purpose accordingly. It wasn’t an automatic quick fix microwave making for our redemption to become a reality as written. For through faith and patience, built on diligence, that’s how a godly result for a lasting effect is made possible in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. And it’s now time to restructure your faith in God’s love in Christ Jesus to be “The Purpose-driven Love-based”. 

“. . . 4 but when the FULNESS OF THE TIME was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 to REDEEM them that were under the law, that we might Receive the adoption of sons” Galatians 4:1-55. 

“But, beloved, we are PERSUADED better things of you, and things that ACCOMPANY SALVATION, though we thus speak. 10 For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS [UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] to forget your WORK and LABOUR OF LOVE, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but followers of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:9-12. 

When you take time to read the book of Isaiah 9:6-7 and Isaiah 7:14, you will see and understand how God’s purpose and intent were planned for human redemption. His plan was for a Child to be BORN and to process that Child to become a Son, then to be GIVEN otherwise MADE ready, therein to die the sacrificial worthy death, that’s worthwhile for mankind redemption, in respects of the sin and sin effects. It took years of prophetic process for the Father’s LOVE for us to come to fruition, and yet it did, and today we celebrate daily His love that was at a cost.  

“For unto us a CHILD IS BORN, unto us A SON IS GIVEN: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7. Of the increase of his government and peace, there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this” Isaiah 9:6-7. 

“Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a SON, and shall call his name Immanuel” Isaiah 7:14. 

“For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18. 

And God’s driven purposeful love is empowered by the Holy Spirit of love that’s given to us to do life and live godly in Him in Christ Jesus stead. This is to indicate that a believer in God in Christ Jesus is inexcusable for living and being a personality that’s Moment-driven Love-based in terms, instead of being a personality that’s Purpose-driven Love-based in terms as God did in Christ Jesus to extend His loving fellowship to us to enhance our relationship with Him. 

“If ye LOVE me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the WORLD CANNOT receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:15-17. 

“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. 

“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. 

“In Him also we have RECEIVED an INHERITANCE [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been predestined (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the PURPOSE of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will” Ephesians 1:11/Amplified. 

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, Neither have entered into the heart of man, The things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the DEEP THINGS of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. 

Unfortunately today, in many acts of Marriages [marital relationships] or Business partnerships, Ministerial relationships and Other relationships of all sorts today, people are in real life confrontation and are cut ups with mixed partnerships, wherein one person comes into the marital/relationship by a “Moment-driven Love-based” terms while the other comes with a “Purpose-driven Love-based” concept. And in a twinkling of time, there’s already a dissolution, a very big rift and drift by one while the other is willing to patiently work things through the process in order to blend and together gets to the expected results; and while one is not prepared to give that relationship a chance to stand, the other is doing all possible means for them to weather through the challenges times in order to become the becoming in terms. And except there’s a mutual understanding, it becomes impossible to get a headway to achieve the God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written: 

“Can TWO WALK TOGETHER, except they be AGREED? 4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?” Amos 3:3-4. 

Beloved in Christ Jesus that’s desiring to live by God’s Love in Christ Jesus, it’s important today that you think through with your partner in any forms of relationships you are into or about to embark into, if the he/she is of a “Purpose-driven Love-based” personality or the he/she is of a “Moment-driven Love-based” personality in terms. The earlier you resolve, then you can begin to run in your set purpose in the grace, otherwise, not reading the handwriting on the wall with utmost knowledge and understanding before running, will give the room to failure on the long run and it’s side effects may be very difficult to bear along with in time. 

“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the LORD answered me, and said, WRITE THE VISION, and MAKE IT PLAIN UPON TABLES, that HE MAY RUN THAT READETH IT. 3 For the VISION IS YET FOR AN APPOINTED TIME, but AT THE END IT SHALL SPEAK, and NOT LIE: THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT FOR IT; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4. 

Let God’s purpose driven love rule your being today by the Holy Spirit, so that you can become, and in becoming you can be fulfilled in doing life and living godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Be a Purpose-driven, Love-based Believer, in Christ Jesus, no matter the process to becoming, for therein you can receive the blessedness of God in grace and be fulfilled in life and godly living. 

Be blessed in the grace. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved” John 3:16-17/NKJV. 

“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 His own LOVE toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8/NKJV.  

“John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the FIRSTBORN on from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who LOVED us and WASHED us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has MADE us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:4-6. 

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE , 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the WIDTH and LENGTH and DEPTH and HEIGHT — 19 to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST which passes knowledge; that you may be FILLED with all the FULLNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/NKJV. 

“A new commandment I give to you, that you LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that you also LOVE one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have LOVE for one another” John 13:34-35. 

“As the Father LOVED Me, I also have loved you; abide in My LOVE. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My LOVE, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His LOVE. [11] “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. 12 This is My commandment, that you LOVE one another as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVES has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you LOVE one another” John 15:9-17. 

“Let LOVE be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly LOVE; in honour preferring one another” Romans 12:9-10. 

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not LOVE, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not LOVE, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not LOVE, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; LOVE does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8. LOVE never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.13 And now abide faith, hope, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is love” 1 Corinthians 13:1-13/NKJV.

WELCOME TO MONTH FEBRUARY 2026: MONTH ENTITLED “ENACTING ‘GOD’S LOVE’ IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!” 

“. . . 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may DWELL in your hearts through faith; that you, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the WIDTH and LENGTH and DEPTH and HEIGHT— 19 TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST which PASSES [TRANSCENDS, SURPASS] KNOWLEDGE [SENSE KNOWLEDGE]; that you may be filled with all the FULLNESS of God . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21. 

I specially welcome you to the second month of the Julian and Gregorian calendar in the year of the Lord, Year 2026, which is month February. And the Month is entitled: Month of “ENACTING ‘GOD’S LOVE’ IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!” 

My earnest PRAYERS is that, through the avenue of teaching God’s given Word, He will grant me the privilege of bringing you to His way, that you may KNOW the why and the how to ENACT the God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus’ stead, as you live out your life and walk godly in His grace.  

For to ENACT means to activate and reinforce something already there, in existence into operation. Meaning awakening what it’s potential into a kinetic motion. It’s about turning our given endowments into reality, either through set scriptural authority as done for us in the grace. To enact is to act out, otherwise to cause to actualise or represent and bring about in every situation or event, that endowment that’s done in us into reality. And in this context, it’s the LOVE default DNA of God in us, to make it become tangible and our reality in our doing life and living godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. 

The God’s love in Christ Jesus stead, is the MORE EXCELLENT WAY to do life and live godly in the grace to meaningfully fulfil purpose.  

“But EARNESTLY DESIRE and ZEALOUSLY CULTIVATE the GREATEST and BEST GIFTS and GRACES (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still MORE EXCELLENT WAY [one that is BETTER by far and the HIGHEST of them all–LOVE]” 1 Corinthians 12:31/Amplified Classic Edition. 

Herein are few reasons why LOVE is the better and highest and excellent way but not limited in doing life and living godly in the grace: 

  • The Excellent way because it’s of the Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5, 8; John 14:15-17. 
  • The excellent way because it’s the lubricant for the Faith that pleases God to overcome the system which the world functions through. Hebrews 11:6; Galatians 5:6; 1 John 5:4-5.  
  • The excellent way because it’s the only way to serve God acceptably and worship Him worthily and one another in the Kingdom. Galatians 5:13; Philippians 3:3; John 4:19-24. 
  • The excellent way to be accorded as Christ Jesus disciple [follower and ambassador]. John 13:1, 34-35.  
  • The excellent way to express spiritual gifts: in character and charisma. 1 Corinthians 13:1-4; Galatians 5:22-25; Ephesians 4:11-16. 
  • The excellent way to receive revelation into God’s Plan, Purpose and Pursuit – 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:10-12. 
  • The excellent way to enact the redemption cause of God’s Word in loving back in His own measure. Revelation 1:4-6; John 15:9-17. 

I pray that you may KNOW THE LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead, in order to do life and live godly in excellent way, to the end, you might experience the FULNESS of God by the Holy Spirit of love that dwells in you. 

Blessed regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved” John 3:16-17/NKJV. 

“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 His own LOVE toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8/NKJV.  

“John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the FIRSTBORN from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who LOVED us and WASHED us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has MADE us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:4-6. 

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE , 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the WIDTH and LENGTH and DEPTH and HEIGHT — 19 to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST which passes knowledge; that you may be FILLED with all the FULLNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/NKJV. 

“A new commandment I give to you, that you LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that you also LOVE one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have LOVE for one another” John 13:34-35. 

“As the Father LOVED Me, I also have loved you; abide in My LOVE. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My LOVE, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His LOVE. 11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. 12 This is My commandment, that you LOVE one another as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVE has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you LOVE one another” John 15:9-17. 

“Let LOVE be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly LOVE; in honour preferring one another” Romans 12:9-10. 

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for GOD IS LOVE. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is LOVE, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to LOVE one another . . . 16 And we have known and believed the LOVE that God has for us. GOD IS LOVE, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him” 1 John 4:7-21/NKJV 

“Behold what MANNER OF LOVE the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore, the world does not know us, because it did not know Him” 1 John 3:1. 

“But God DEMONSTRATES His own LOVE toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:8. 

“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” Romans 5:5. 

“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God” Romans 8:26-27. 

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not LOVE, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not LOVE, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not LOVE, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; LOVE does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8. LOVE never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.13 And now abide faith, hope, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is love” 1 Corinthians 13:1-13/NKJV.

THIS DECEMBER! THIS CHRISTMAS: LOVE IS BORN IN OUR HEARTS!  

By Leave a Comment

THIS DECEMBER! THIS CHRISTMAS: LOVE IS BORN IN OUR HEARTS!  

“. . . 10 And the angel said unto them, FEAR NOT: for, behold, I bring you GOOD TIDINGS of GREAT JOY, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is BORN THIS DAY in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord . . .” Luke 2:8-24. 

Love is the essence of Christmas. That’s what makes month December a very special month and more so, in a dual essence in context: 

  • It’s a cooling point of all the experience of the other previously held months in the Julian and Gregorian calendar – and as it marks the celebrating and commemorating of the love of God after the various challenging times in the year to most people in respective ways;  
  • And it also marks a refreshing point to take stock, evaluates, synergies and strengthens oneself in order to take on a new stand in the grace of love, especially for the unknown coming year. 

And when each of the spectrums mentioned above becomes an essence that’s built on love, being pursuit by love, being plan by love and being purpose by love, we act knowingly by awakening our Father God of love, to enable Him ensure and assure His love essence to us and through us and to all of mankind for His Kingdom cause. 

And the knowing and understanding of times and reasons for the season, which is about the birth of Christ Jesus, and termed Christmas, a yearly [an annual] celebration and commemoration to enact and authenticate the God’s love in Christ Jesus, and His redemption cause for the good and goodness of all mankind, and event that’s irrespective of class, status, gender, colour, kindred, tongue, nation and people. 

For Jesus loves us as much as the Father God loves us. He’s the expression of the Father God’s love. Hence, His birth, which this December month is accredited to for Christmas, is the birth of love. And we need to have our being experienced the rebirth of love instead of nursing and expressing hatred, wickedness, anger, bitterness, evil and such like depraved state in our hearts – a deprave and inhumane state that’s without God to ensure and assure the presence of love. Know today that God loves you. He loved us so much that He died for the sake of love, and in love, He redeemed us through the sacrifice of His blood on the cross, sealing His love for us forever. 

“I have LOVED you just as the Father has LOVED Me; remain in My LOVE [and do not DOUBT My LOVE for you]” John 15:9/Amplified. 

“And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who LOVED us and WASHED us from our sins in His own blood, [6] and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6/NKJV. 

“And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have REDEEMED us to God by Your blood Out of every TRIBE and TONGUE and PEOPLE and NATION, 10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10/NKJV. 

God is love. And for Love and in love He sent Jesus to express His love and nature, and the principles of love to humanity. Jesus came by love, lived by love and died by love and for love. And upon love, as by this December, in this Christmas, love is being celebrated and commemorated in the grace. God’s love in Christ Jesus wasn’t hidden but was demonstrated and showcased while we were yet in sin and are sinners. That’s the awesomeness of love beyond human comprehension. 

“But God DEMONSTRATES His own LOVE toward us, in that while we were STILL sinners, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:8/NKJV. 

“For God so LOVED the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to CONDEMN the world, but that the world THROUGH HIM might be SAVED” John 3:16-17. 

Today, how much do you love God’s WORD? Do you love it as your first, last, and only companion, or do you turn to it after trying your own self-made ways, the opinions of others, or sources like the 1st internet web called World-Wide-Web [WWW], or the 2nd internet web called Social-Media-Web [SMW] or the current 3rd web called the Artificial Intelligence Web alias AI-Web [AIW].  

I want you to know that God’s WORD is built on love, which is far beyond any of the past and present web components we’ve mentioned that consume our world today. If you are never a lover of God’s WORD or one who is skeptical of God’s WORD or one who thinks that God’s word is mystical, know now and today and always, that God’s WORD is none of the characteristics and assumptions mentioned earlier or any such like; for God’s WORD is built of His nature and person, which is love. He is love, and love by definition and love by His WORD. 

And when you love His WORD to obey His WORD from the place of love, you find out that His WORD is not grievous, toastmaster, irksome, oppressive, burdensome and any such like. And those who loves His word, His word, is born in their hearts even as in this December and in this Christmas of the celebration and commemoration of the birth of God’s loves to advance His Kingdom cause for the good and goodness of all mankind in the grace. I employ you to love God’s commands and build up your life in His WORD by love for your graciousness and gracefulness in the grace. 

“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD of His grace [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His GRACE is able to BUILD you up and to GIVE you the [rightful] inheritance among all those who are SANCTIFIED [that is, among those who are SET APART for God’s purpose—all believers]” Acts 20:32/Amplified. 

“EVERYONE WHO believes (adheres to, trusts, and relies on the fact) that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah) is a born-again child of God; and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one BORN of Him (His offspring). 2 By this we come to know (recognize and understand) that we love the children of God: when we LOVE God and obey His commands (orders, charges)– [when we keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and His teaching]. 3 For the [true] love of God is this: that we do His commands [keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and teaching]. And these orders of His are not irksome [burdensome, oppressive, or grievous]” 1 John 5:1-3/Amplified Classic Edition.  

“If you abide in Me, and My WORDS abide in you, you will ASK what you DESIRE, and it shall be DONE for you. 8 By this My Father is GLORIFIED, that you bear MUCH FRUIT; so you will be My disciples. 9 “As the Father LOVED Me, I also have LOVED you; abide in My LOVE. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My LOVE, just as I have kept My Father’s COMMANDMENTS and ABIDE in His LOVE” John 15:7-10/NKJV. 

Love is an essence to SERVE others by, in the kingdom CAUSE of God. And God only cause all things to work out for the good of those that loves Him and embraces the kingdom PURPOSE of His assignments to them. There are many out there, who wants just God’s BLESSEDNESS in their lives but are unprepared for the kingdom cause and purpose of God. It’s impossible to take God’s love out of His purpose. It’s like cutting off your nose to spite your face. 

God in His nature of love, implants His purpose to work together for the good of all who embraces the spirit of services through love. For the Faith to please God only operates through love. So, to render to God an acceptable service, and a worthy worship, love must be defacto and the process essence to execute under God’s name and person. Hence, in this December and in this Christmas, ensure and assure God’s love, in all manners of services of your efforts, to be divinely accepted as scripturally written: 

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES ALL THINGS to work together [as a plan] for good for those who LOVE God, to those who are called according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/Amplified. 

“For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and working THROUGH LOVE . . . 13 For you, my brothers, were called to freedom; only do not let your FREEDOM become an opportunity for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but THROUGH LOVE SERVE and seek the best for one another” Galatians 5:6, 13/Amplified. 

There are secret places and secret things in this world and about the way to live and do life in order to be an overcomer, be triumphant and more than conqueror in 24/7, over this world systems. And it’s only the creator God, that holds the answers to the human questions in the palm of His hands. That’s why no matter all man has achieved in humanity, the insatiable search to get an answer to the questions that had risen out of what man has created remains an illusion no matter the human investments and bodies created to find answers. And it’s because man’s eternal spirited hearts can’t fathom God by its limited wisdom and its eternal spirit quest, it’s only answerable to God and not to man or human creations by the limited wisdom in comparison to the infinite wisdom of the eternal God of love. 

“He has made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUl in its time. He also has planted ETERNITY in MEN’S HEARTS and MINDS [a DIVINELY IMPLANTED SENSE of a PURPOSE working through the ages which NOTHING under the sun but God ALONE can satisfy], yet so that men CANNOT find out what God has done from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified Classic Edition. 

And God has severally by the Scriptures given out His intents to reveal to us His secrets to His children [Amos 3:7; Deuteronomy 29:29; Psalms 25:14; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. He knows it’s by that extraordinary and supernaturally means that His children can be distinguished from others in the world. And this enormous secrets places and secret things of God is only REVEALED to those who walk according to the cause of love in Him in them – meaning, those who are willing and ready to do life and live godly lives through love, without buts, ifs, or terms and conditions. God lives and breathes through love, as a nature and as a person. And only let out His secret of eternal realms of love, to those led by the Holy Spirit, who ensures love in the process of doing life and living godly in His grace. That’s what defines the process in the realms of revelation as it’s written: 

“But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has PREPARED for those who LOVE Him.” 10 But God has REVEALED [UNVEILED] them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit SEARCHES all things, yes, the DEEP things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10/NKJV [Isaiah 64:4; Isaiah 65:17]. 

“The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning” Psalms 25:14/Amplified Classic Edition [John 7:17; John 15:15; Deuteronomy 29:29; Amos 3:7]. 

God gave us a new commandment that’s built on love in Christ Jesus. Hence, in this December and in this Christmas and always, God earnest desires and expectations, is for you to do life and live godly with others through the mirror of love irrespective of whatever. That is the bedrock and hallmark of His commands, and His commands in His commandments are not advice, but a life to be lived in love, intentionally and pragmatically, as a mark of obedience to Him. 

For all the law given in the Old creation Testament is summed up in the New creation Testament in four letters: L-O-V-E. The essence of the New commandments for The New Creation in Christ Jesus is all spelled out in love. The New Creation needs to abide in God’s word in love and abound in love in order to actualise and authenticate the loving friendship of God’s love towards us, as demonstrated in Christ Jesus, just like Father Abraham. 

“As the Father LOVED Me, I also have LOVED you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My LOVE, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. 11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My JOY may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. 12 This is My COMMANDMENT, that you LOVE one another as I have loved you. [13] GREATER LOVE has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 You are MY FRIENDS if you do whatever I COMMAND you” John 15:9-14/NKJV. 

“And [so] the Scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed in (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on) God, and this was accounted to him as righteousness (as conformity to God’s will in thought and deed), and he was called God’s friend” James 2:23/Amplified Classic Edition [Genesis 15:6; 2 Chronicles 20:7; Isaiah 41:8]. 

“For Christ is the END of the LAW [it leads to Him, and its PURPOSE is FULFILLED in Him], for [granting] RIGHTEOUSNESS to everyone who BELIEVES [in Him as Savior]” Romans 10:4/Amplified. 

God expectations of the believing one of God that has become a New creation, is to be a carrier of God’s DNA of love. It does mean we are expected to love irrespectively and without sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation. And the idea of NOT LOVING any, makes one a murderer in God’s love definition – for it was while we were yet sinners, that Christ Jesus expressed His love for us unto death [Romans 5:8]. The Scriptures say that even harbouring thought of evil and hatred constitutes being a murderer in the sight of God, who is love. Hence, God expects us as His children with His nature to go about expressing His love nature. Just as a Lion does not give birth to a Goat, why should a born-again child of God live a life that is less than the characteristics of Gods nature of love, that’s lavishly poured and given to them by the seal of the indwelling Holy Spirit within [Romans 5:5]. Hence, in this December, and in this Christmas, take a pure heart to intentionally and pragmatically look through the scriptures in love, as a mirror to ensure love as written: 

“In this the CHILDREN of God and the CHILDREN of the devil are MANIFEST: Whoever DOES NOT PRACTICE RIGHTEOUSNESS is not of God, nor is he who DOES NOT LOVE his brother. 11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should LOVE one another, 12 not as Cain who was of the WICKED one and MURDERED his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were EVIL and his brothers RIGHTEOUS. 

14 We know that we have PASSED FROM DEATH TO LIFE, because we LOVE the brethren. He who DOES NOT LOVE his brother ABIDES in death. 15 Whoever HATES his brother is a MURDERER, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him” 1 John 3:10-16. 

“You have heard that it was said to the men of old, ‘You shall not murder,’ and ‘Whoever murders shall be guilty before the court.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who continues to be angry with his brother or harbors malice against him shall be guilty before the court; and whoever speaks [contemptuously and insultingly] to his brother, ‘Raca (You empty-headed idiot)!’ shall be guilty before the supreme court (Sanhedrin); and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of the fiery hell. 23 So if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and while there you remember that your brother has something [such as a grievance or legitimate complaint] against you, 24 leave your offering there at the altar and go. First make peace with your brother and then come and present your offering. 25. Come to terms quickly [at the earliest opportunity] with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way [to court], so that your opponent does not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you are thrown into prison. 26 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid the last cent” Matthew 5:21-26/Amplified. [Luke 12:58, 59]; [Ex 20:13; Deut 5:17; 16:18]. 

The highest, hallmark and earnest PRAYERS of every Believers of God, wanting to know God and fulfil His purpose, is to KNOW THE LOVE of God in Christ Jesus, in its WIDTH and LENGTH and DEPTH and HEIGHT. And our God had MADE it possible to us, by the indwelling Holy Spirit that’s given to us. And the Holy Spirit’s presence is to help and enable us to express the eternal-like, divine-like and God-like kind of love that He has lavished and poured into us as His new creation breed. The love of God, that surpasses and transcends the human five senses sensual knowledge and self-made love, that ruins and is ruining the human dignity and persons because of its selfishness and self-centered content and the act of the respects of persons for gains as expressed through sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. There’s the need to endeavour to know the love of God and own it to do life and live godly in the grace. 

“. . . 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the WIDTH and LENGTH and DEPTH and HEIGHT— 19 to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST which PASSES knowledge; that you may be FILLED with all the FULLNESS of God . . .” Ephesians 3:14-20/NKJV. 

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED [LAVISHED] out in our HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:5/NKJV [Emphasis Mine]. 

Therefore, in this December and in this Christmas, as said that This DAY – being TODAY, let EMMANUEL, The God With Us, who is JESUS THE CHRIST, be BORN – IN YOUR HEARTS. For upon this phrase, in terms that the Month DECEMBER 2025 is Themed: 

JESUS CHRIST OUR EMMANUEL! “Our Saviour and the God With Us” – who is now in us and for us, thus signifies God dwelling [or comes to dwell] with humanity – thereby creates a new passage for a new kind of RELATIONSHIP between us and Him. We lost this FELLOWSHIP in the garden of Eden by Adam; but God in His LOVE at the Birth of JESUS The Christ, RESTORED this awesome FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP In Him, in the CAUSE of His REDEMPTION for us in Christ Jesus stead. And because He’s in us by love, and we live to love Him, we’ve become more than conquerors under His love, and nothing can separate us in His love. 

“Who shall separate us from THE LOVE OF CHRIST? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from THE LOVE OF GOD, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39. 

God in humanity is JESUS in name; while CHRIST depicts Him as – the Messiah, the Saviour, the Redeemer and the Holy one of Israel, for His cause on earth for human redemption. We’ve been called into this FELLOWSHIP built and govern by love, that we might enjoy God and the heavens on earth again, so we can say that as He is, so are we in this world and can joyfully ask of His will in our domain on this side of heaven call the earth as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 1 John 4:17, Matthew 6:10. This is the REASON then for the SEASON, the DECEMBER mood that comes along with CHRISTMAS which thus is: 

“The Yearly [Annual] COMMEMORATION And CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE In Christ Jesus And His REDEMPTION CAUSE On EARTH”  

For it’s as we EXPLORE this relationship and fellowship of JESUS The Christ, and as our God EMMANUEL, who is now here and living – IN us, FOR us and WITH us – that is when our PATH OF LIFE is ordered and we can then enjoy to the FULNESS the abounding PLEASURES of God in His grace and BLESSEDNESS forevermore. 

Today as in this Month DECEMBER that prelude the CHRISTMAS season, let us take advantage of the indwelling EMMANUEL – JESUS the Christ, the God with us, that’s born in our hearts to save us, and enjoy continuously, God’s presence in fellowship with us and in our path of life – to keep us thriving, blossoming and glowing with His pleasures in life and godliness. 

Therefore Today, THIS DAY, I pray that Emmanuel comes to be in your life, born in your heart in love this DECEMBER, in this season that preludes Christmas, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Beloved, let us [unselfishly] love and seek the best for one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves [others] is born of God and knows God [through personal experience]. 8 The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for GOD IS LOVE. [He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.] 9 By this the love of God was displayed in us, in that God has sent His [One and] only begotten Son [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind] into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and the satisfying offering] for our sins [fulfilling God’s requirement for justice against sin and placating His wrath]. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us [in this incredible way], we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has seen God at any time. But if we love one another [with unselfish concern], God abides in us, and His love [the love that is His essence abides in us and] is completed and perfected in us. 13 By this we know [with confident assurance] that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given to us His [Holy] Spirit. 14 We [who were with Him in person] have seen and testify [as eye-witnesses] that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses and acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God has for us. GOD IS LOVE, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides continually in him. 17 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]. 19 We love, because He first loved us. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates (works against) his [Christian] brother he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should also [unselfishly] love his brother and seek the best for him” 1 John 4:7-21/Amplified. 

“For this is the message which you [believers] have heard from the beginning [of your relationship with Christ], that we should [unselfishly] love and seek the best for one another; 12 and not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother [Abel]. And why did he murder him? Because Cain’s deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, believers, if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed out of death into Life, because we love the brothers and sisters. He who does not love remains in [spiritual] death. 15 Everyone who hates (works against) his brother [in Christ] is [at heart] a murderer [by God’s standards]; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 16 By this we know [and have come to understand the depth and essence of His precious] love: that He [willingly] laid down His life for us [because He loved us]. And we ought to lay down our lives for the believers. 17 But whoever has the world’s goods (adequate resources), and sees his brother in need, but has no compassion for him, how does the love of God live in him? 18 Little children (believers, dear ones), let us not love [merely in theory] with word or with tongue [giving lip service to compassion], but in action and in truth [in practice and in sincerity, because practical acts of love are more than words]. 19 By this we will know [without any doubt] that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart and quiet our conscience before Him 20 whenever our heart convicts us [in guilt]; for God is greater than our heart and He knows all things [nothing is hidden from Him because we are in His hands]. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not convict us [of guilt], we have confidence [complete assurance and boldness] before God; 22 and we receive from Him whatever we ask because we [carefully and consistently] keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight [habitually seeking to follow His plan for us]. 23 This is His commandment, that we believe [with personal faith and confident trust] in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and [that we unselfishly] love and seek the best for one another, just as He commanded us. 24 The one who habitually keeps His commandments [obeying His word and following His precepts, abides and] remains in Him, and He in him. By this we know and have the proof that He [really] abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us [as a gift]” 1 John 3:11-24/Amplified. 

“You have heard that it was said to the men of old, ‘You shall not murder,’ and ‘Whoever murders shall be guilty before the court.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who continues to be angry with his brother or harbors malice against him shall be guilty before the court; and whoever speaks [contemptuously and insultingly] to his brother, ‘Raca (You empty-headed idiot)!’ shall be guilty before the supreme court (Sanhedrin); and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of the fiery hell. 23 So if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and while there you remember that your brother has something [such as a grievance or legitimate complaint] against you, 24 leave your offering there at the altar and go. First make peace with your brother, and then come and present your offering. 25. Come to terms quickly [at the earliest opportunity] with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way [to court], so that your opponent does not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you are thrown into prison. 26 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid the last cent” Matthew 5:21-26/Amplified. [Luke 12:58, 59]; [Ex 20:13; Deut 5:17; 16:18]. 

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love” 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“LET LOVE BE WITHOUT HYPOCRISY [SENTIMENTS, DISSIMULATION, PREJUDICE]. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another” Romans 12:9-10/Emphasis Mine. 

“. . . 17 May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be ROOTED DEEP IN LOVE and FOUNDED SECURELY ON LOVE, 18 That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, THE EXPERIENCE OF THAT LOVE] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; 19 [That you may really come] to KNOW [practically, through experience for yourselves] THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which FAR SURPASSES MERE KNOWLEDGE [without experience]; that you may be FILLED [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]! . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21/Amplified Classic Edition.
