GOD IS LOVE: Find Your STRENGHT In His LOVE – And You Will Be!

Let God’s LOVE in His BLESSEDNESS define you in EVERYWAY in Christ Jesus stead. I pray you find utmost STRENGTH in God’s LOVE. Amen!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“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)

LOVING IS LIVING

February 11, 2020 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

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 in love. We are born of God in Christ Jesus to radiate His love 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. For God so love, He gave. 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 love.

SCRIPTURES WORTH PONDERING:

“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.

“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” John 3:16.

“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 . . . 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 . . .” 1John 4:7-21.

“As the Father hath LOVED me, so have I LOVED you: CONTINUE ye in my LOVE” John 15:9.

“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” Romans 5:5.

“A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, That ye LOVE ONE ANOTHER; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men KNOW THAT YE ARE MY DISCIPLES, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:34-35.

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 loves 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.

“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.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous (Burdensome, Irksome, Taskmaster)” 1 John 5:3 (Emphasis Mine).

DEFINING LOVE IN GOD’S TERMS

February 13, 2016 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

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

Defining Love? Which Love? What kind of Love? The LOVE that’s WORTH pondering. 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 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 sensitises the sense knowledge towards your spiritual causes and as such it expresses genuinely to all and more importantly to those you care about day to day. 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.

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 dimensions. 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.

“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 God

June 17, 2015 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Loving God – Will Cause All Things To Work Together For Your GOOD!

Love is the working essence of all things for your good with God. If you want all things – positive or negative – to work for your good, then start loving God in spirit (hearts) and in truth (His Word).

Loving God is a deliberate conscious act from your hearts (human spirit) and not in your heads; knowing and understanding that God’s love is only poured or shared in human spirit (heart) by the Holy Spirit for a genuine expression of God’s love – Romans 5:5. This will cause all things to work for your good, as you can only make meaningful worship of God from your hearts of love towards Him.

Material instruments as Stethoscope, Scan, X-ray and more may be useful in human endeavours, yet can’t detect the human spirit, because the human spirit is eternal and not earthly. Simply put, the spirit of a man is the candle or lamp of the Lord, searching and watching all the inner depths of his heart, hence only can by all means worship God.

For Faith pleases God and Faith only functions by Love, and when Faith towards God is essence by Love, you’ve gotten hold of God for the release of His blessings upon you.

Today, start Loving God.

“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 8:28-30.

“For in Jesus Christ NEITHER circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

“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. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.

Further Scriptual Reading: John 4:23-24; Galatians 5:6; Proverbs 20:27; Hebrews 11:6
