CHOSEN AS A SPECIAL PEOPLE

CHOSEN AS A SPECIAL PEOPLE: IT’S ALL BECAUSE THE LORD LOVES YOU!

“. . . 4 just as [in His love] He CHOSE us in Christ [actually selected us for Himself as His own] before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy [that is, consecrated, set apart for Him, purpose-driven] and blameless in His sight. In LOVE 5 He PREDESTINED and LOVINGLY planned for us to be adopted to Himself as [His own] children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the kind intention and good pleasure of His will . . . 11 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 1:3-12 Amplified.

The knowing that God LOVES you and CHOSE you should propel you to have faith and be faithful in God. His love for you is irrelevant and irrespective of who you are, where you are, what you are in life prior and afterwards. He just LOVES you – for He CHOSE you for His PURPOSE and in His PURPOSE. Life is about living in the acknowledgement that God loves and loved me and have chosen me in spite of all things.

If you are wondering about Love, know full well that the Biblical definition of LOVE is – God, as it’s written – “FOR GOD IS LOVE” (1 John 4:8, 16). Therefore, let love be your propellant in the way you do and live life day to day in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

You are God’s CHOSEN – His LOVE made it possible. Keep GLOWING, REFRESHING and REJUVENATING in God’s LOVE.

Life is WORTH living, and when living it in – LOVE, now and always.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS 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.] . . .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” 1 John 4:7-8, 16.

“Ye have not CHOSEN me, but I HAVE CHOSEN YOU, and ORDAINED (APPOINTED) you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” John 15:16 (Emphasis Mine).

“For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath CHOSEN thee to be a SPECIAL PEOPLE unto himself, ABOVE all people that are upon the face of the earth.  7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor CHOOSE you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:  8 BUT BECAUSE THE LORD LOVED YOU, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.  9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations” Deuteronomy 7:6-9.

“You [believers], like living stones, are [a]being built up into a spiritual house for a holy and dedicated priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ . . . 9 But you are a CHOSEN race, a ROYAL priesthood, a CONSECRATED nation, a [SPECIAL] PEOPLE for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the EXCELLENCIES [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who CALLED you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 10 Once you were NOT a people [at all], but now you ARE God’s people; once you had NOT RECEIVED mercy, but now you have RECEIVED mercy” 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10 Amplified.

WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS: MADE POSSIBLE BY GOD’S LOVE

By Leave a Comment

WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS: MADE POSSIBLE BY GOD’S LOVE THAT’S EMBEDDED IN US!

There’s the need today to go back to the basic principle 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 ARE but not limited, of the basic principle to uphold of God’s LOVE for us, to have us MADE a 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.

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.

DEFINING LOVE IN GOD’S TERMS: GOD IS LOVE!

By Leave a Comment

DEFINING LOVE IN GOD’S TERMS: GOD IS LOVE!

Defining Love? Which Love? What kind of Love? How do you define genuine love? In your terms or God’s terms? The LOVE that’s WORTH pondering by you – is it the LOVE made and built of SENSE KNOWLEDGE or The Love born of REVELATION KNOWLEDGE?

HEREIN IS MY TAKE ON DEFINING LOVE:

** SENSE KNOWLEDGE LOVE:

This LOVE response to our senses – which is made of these FIVE senses: FEEL (Touch), SMELL, TASTE, SEE and HEAR. This is the realm where the VALENTINE love operates especially. This is where the natural instincts of carnality and humanity operates. It’s of the world, hence defines in terms, and it’s limited in every sense to meet the human quest. I wonder why many if not multitudes should wait for FEBRUARY 14 to genuinely express love to someone they care about. Is like waiting until Christmas to express goodness to those you care about. There’s nothing wrong in the common sense LOVE in essence in humanity if guided and guarded by God’s kind of love; only that, this sensual LOVE is body-ruled, full of  bundles of selfishness, more importantly, man-made – hence limited in all ramifications.

** REVELATION KNOWLEDGE LOVE:

This LOVE is of God. It is spiritual, meaning; it’s inspiring, revealing and empowering. It sensitizes the sense knowledge towards your natural and spiritual causes, and as such it expresses genuinely to all and more importantly to those you care about in day to day act of doing life and living godly. It does not wait for special occasions like VALENTINE or CHRISTMAS or BIRTHDAY and such like to express great heart-felt goodness. It’s boundless, intentional and reachable and available and applicable in circumstances toward God and mankind.

Therefore think before you go in debt for a one day or part-time kind of LOVE act that may end up in CARNALITY and at CROSS-FIRE afterwards.

Know full well today that – GOD IS LOVE. In other words, the DEFINITION of LOVE is – God. You can only DEFINE LOVE in God. And God’s Love which is in Christ Jesus, transcends, surpassed and supercedes human sense knowledge in every dimension. Until one knows and understands it, the struggles for genuine love will keep showing up; and the unnecessary asking of all sorts of questioning about LOVE and matters of LOVE.

As Believer in Christ, are you in love built on SENSE  knowledge or in REVELATION knowledge. For the revelation knowledge LOVE of God is spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and it’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which PASSETH (Transcends, Supercedes) KNOWLEDGE (Human Senses), that ye might be FILLED with ALL the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:19 (Emphasis Mine).

“Beloved, let us love one another: FOR LOVE IS OF GOD; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for GOD IS LOVE. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein 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 ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, AND HIS LOVE IS PERFECTED IN US. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, BECAUSE HE HATH GIVEN US OF HIS SPIRIT. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 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 CASTETH OUT FEAR: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also” 1 John 4:7-21.

LOVING IS LIVING: DIVINE LOVE

LOVING IS LIVING: DIVINE LOVE – GIVES A MORE EXCELLENT WAY!                                                   

“But covet EARNESTLY the BEST gifts: and yet shew I unto you A MORE EXCELLENT WAY . . .” 1 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.

Stop struggling to love. You are not born of God to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL in love. You are born of God to THRIVE, BLOSSOM and COLOUR your worlds of doing life and living godly in love. We are born of God in Christ Jesus by the WORD, to radiate His love that’s shared lavishly in our hearts – human spirit, by the Holy Spirit that dwells in us. For GOD IS LOVE and as such, LOVE Is of God. And LOVING is LIVING.

The most excellent way to enjoy and express God’s love, is the resolve to be the love GIVER  than to DEMAND for love. Genuine LOVE GIVES, it doesn’t DEMANDS, knowing it’s more BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE – Acts 20:35. For God so LOVE, He GAVE – John 3:16.

And until you resolve to be the love GIVER, rather than the one DEMANDING for love, you will struggle to express love in an EXCELLENT way. And the EXCELLENT way of genuine living is emboldened in DIVINE LOVE. And it’s WORTH it beyond all human reasoning – senses – of what you smell, see, taste, hear and feel/touch.

The Faith That Works

The Faith That Works: It’s Found In Them That Loves God And His WORD!

All things will always WORK for those who love God as they walk in cause of His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for them. And walking in God’s intended Plan, Purpose and Pursuit is walking in His WORD.

Therefore THE FAITH THAT WORKS is found in those who WALK in God’s LOVE and keep to His WORD in Love. Just as Love lubricates Faith, the Word sustains and keeps Love alive.

LOVE DEFINITION – IS GOD

By Leave a Comment

LOVE DEFINITION – IS GOD: FOR GOD IS LOVE!

There’s no better way to define LOVE other than God. God is the EMBODIMENT of LOVE, hence LOVE is God and God is LOVE. Genuine LOVE is God and experience in Him. Genuine LOVE which ONLY is of God MAKES WHOLE and PERFECT (mature, complete) people. Any other definition may be attributed to EXPLANATION of love not the DEFINITION of LOVE.

GENUINE LOVE IS GOD – DON’T MISTAKE LUST FOR LOVE!

Hence in today’s world and in most ways of doing life, people squandered in LUST and still thinks they are in LOVE or in the LOVE OF GOD. Sorry, ‘LUST’ is not ‘LOVE’.

“. . . GOD IS LOVE . . .” (1 John 4:8, 16).

In that God is Love and sees, Love sees also and it’s not blind as religion and society has taught us. God is not blind to issues but decides on issues with a seeing eyes hence one should not be blind to life issues and in making decisions on it; for it’s harmful and to only realise and regret afterwards with blame or fault finding excuses.

You can exercise and enact genuine LOVE by FAITH in Christ Jesus. For FAITH works by LOVE.

I pray that you will be real and exact in LOVE when making decisions and not blind to it, and to avoid regrets afterwards.

May every grace and BLESSEDNESS abound more and more in everyway in Christ Jesus stead to make you LOVE Scripturally.

“He that LOVETH not knoweth not God; for God is LOVE . . . 16 And we have KNOWN and BELIEVED the LOVE that God hath to us. God is LOVE; and he that dwelleth in LOVE dwelleth in God, and God in him” 1 John 4:8, 16.

“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.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH which WORKS by LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your members? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye KILL, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye FIGHT and WAR, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ASK, and RECEIVE NOT, because ye ASK amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS” James 4:1-3.
