THE DIVINE LOVE OF GOD – VERSUS – THE LOVE OF THE FIVE SENSES! 

By Leave a Comment

THE DIVINE LOVE OF GOD – VERSUS – THE LOVE OF THE FIVE SENSES! 

“Now we have RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. . . 14 But the NATURAL MAN receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED” 1 Corinthians 2:12, 14. 

There’s THE DIVINE LOVE OF GOD, which is of God and God PERSONIFIED; and there’s THE LOVE OF THE FIVE SENSES which results from and it’s about what we SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL and TOUCH/FEEL to know and understand it, in its context. And such sensual or senses love can’t fathom THE DIVINE GOD, and His divinity as THE GOD OF LOVE and LOVE PERSONIFIED. Neither can it be compared by any measure to THE GOD KIND OF DIVINE LOVE irrespective. 

Hence, there’s the need to KNOW The LOVE of Christ, which SURPASSES, SUPERCEDES and TRANSCENDS SENSE KNOWLEDGE; and that’s if you must make sense of God’s default and personified divine LOVE. The divine love of God gives and serves – it’s a GIVING love and serving love, meaning, it does not DEMAND to be loved because the embodiment is love and love personified, and it lavishly gives and serves LOVE unconditionally. And divine love in virtue, is a COMMENDED love because of what Christ Jesus is done for us by His love in our REDEMPTION in Him. 

“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. 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5: 5-8 

The FIVE SENSES love speaks of the NATURAL – SENSUAL man who operates by material sensory of FEELING/TOUCHING, TASTING, SMELLING, HEARING and SEEING, to make a concise conclusion in order to ensure its definition in love. It tends to demand and fight to be loved; otherwise, it goes into a mood or mode of irreparable returns at some point. 

This FIVE SENSES LOVE requires laboratory test of men for approval, and as such: 

  • It’s limited and 
  • It’s subject to change depending on the public poll of acceptance. 
  • It’s always awaiting all the time for the acknowledging and approval in – friendship, family, work and in places of governance, doing life and such like. 
  • It’s built of and on human selfishness even though it’s not easily acknowledged or spoken of as if it is or not. 
  • It’s based on conditionality in expression 
  • It’s based on sentiments in nearly all its intent. 

And because the five senses love is natural and sensual, it can’t fathom the divine God of love nor God personified in His divine kind of love, hence – LAWS and RULES are made to regulate it with CHANGES in times to suit the human demand and supply. 

And unfortunately, the SENSE love kind, could be deadly when not fully actualised, as many have been disappointed, derailed, depressed, suicidal and some even passed on untimely, when the expected expectations didn’t materialised and or come to fruition. 

Divine Love is Good and is of God. And is lavishly given to all who comes to God in Christ Jesus by the Blessed Holy Spirit that dwells within a born-again child of God. Romans 5:5-8.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Now we have RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. . . 14 But the NATURAL MAN receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED” 1 Corinthians 2:12, 14. 

“. . . 17 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] (SENSE) 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 3:14-21. Amplified. Emphasis Mine. 

“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. 

“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. 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.

IT IS WRITTEN – THE FAITH THAT WORKS

IT IS WRITTEN – THE FAITH THAT WORKS: THE POWER OF THE WRITTEN WORD! 

I love photos or pictorial info. I love video info. But the Written Info, surpassed them all in my worlds of grace and life. It takes the WRITTEN WORD to create the potential PICTURED WORD to BECOME the Motion and Kinetic VIDEO WORD. It’s simply for this knowing and Understanding: 

  • FAITH to do life with God comes by HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God – Romans 10:17. FAITH does not come by HAVING HEARD, but by the HEARING – present tense continuous. However, to be APPROVED of God of that FAITH, it comes by STUDYING the WRITTEN WORD of God. 
  • The acts to study and of studying requires READING, MEDITATING, which is PONDERING THROUGH the WRITTEN WORD and AFFIRMING the WRITTEN WORD in our human spirit by the Holy Spirit until it takes hold of one’s total being. 
  • And as one begins to make a declaration, that is – testifying or proclaiming or announcing or professing and confessing of the affirmed WORD in our human spirit by the Holy Spirit, we create the atmosphere and realms of the worlds of God, which we enjoy in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

Hence, it’s at the WRITTEN WORD that the consciousness of the Living WORD which is the Revealed WORD comes, and through STUDY, it’s developed and transformed into the Incarnate WORD – The WORD that BECOMES FLESH, that’s, the reality, the tangible and the truth in real life terms, for one to enjoy in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Remember this, that Jesus in humanity said – “IT IS WRITTEN” (Matthew 4:1-11), and He did not say – “IT IS PICTORIAL or VIDEO FORMAT” to enable Him or any, put the enemy the Devil and cohorts at bay. It’s simply for the implication of the POWER of the WRITTEN WORD to other means of application to life communications which I don’t undermine at all. 

Therefore, don’t take the WRITTEN WORD for granted, simply because of the Picture, pictorial and Video format of the multimedia worlds; and if the WORD of God must be INCARNATE – a reality and tangible, in your life through FAITH, the WRITTEN WORD is the ANSWER. 

I am glad today for the AFD FEBRUARY EDITION, it’s out to feed on healthily as it’s entitled: THE FAITH THAT WORKS!

PRESENTING YOUR BODIES (FLESH – SENSES) TO GOD 

By Leave a Comment

PRESENTING YOUR BODIES (FLESH – SENSES) TO GOD: THE EASIEST WAY TO KNOWING GOD’S WILL AND TO TRIUMPH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH (SENSUAL) with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine). 

I do know that every Believer in Christ wants to live triumphantly and experience the EASIEST way to their daily TRIUMPH and to be MORE THAN CONQUERORS, OVERCOMERS and VICTORIOUS (2 Corinthians 2:14; Romans 8:37; 1 John 5:4-5; 1 Corinthians 15:57); also, everyone in Christ Jesus stead wants to KNOW THE HOW and OPERATIVE PRINCIPLE in God’s WILL, for them, as they do life and live in grace, without obstructions. 

Being a GOSPEL Minister have given me such a rare privilege to know relatively, the questions and the feelings of people who struggle day to day, in order to ensure that they are at peace within themselves, especially on matters affecting their personal relationship with God; and in the HOW they do life with others and in carrying out their daily earthly affairs. Unknown to some, the solution and matters are simple – it’s for you to PRESENT YOUR BODIES AS A LIVING SACRIFICES UNTO GOD. 

But HOW can one present one’s BODIES to God as a living sacrifice? To present your BODIES simply means to hand over your SENSES which makes you BODY-RULED or FLESH-RULED toward God instead of being SPIRIT-RULED or WORD-RULED toward Him. The human body is functional by the operation of the FIVE SENSES: These senses are – 

  • Sight (Seeing), 
  • Hear (Hearing/Listening), 
  • Taste (Tasting), 
  • Feel (Feeling) or Touch (Touching) and 
  • Smell (Smelling). 

These five senses have made and unmade humanity in various ways in what they have become to themselves, relatives and to OTHERS intentionally and unintentionally. It’s of these senses that man failed and fell in the first place with God and himself. And many are still in such a great danger in their daily walk with God. 

The scriptures enjoined us to WALK by FAITH SENSE – that is,  by the WORD SENSE, for FAITH is functional by the WORD, it comes by the WORD and it’s built up by the WORD; hence we should not WALK by SIGHT – SENSE (Five Senses of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling (touching). 

More so, FAITH IS SPIRITUAL, and it’s of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, PRESENTING YOUR SENSES TO BE SPIRIT-LED (WORD LED), will ensure EASE and TRIUMPH in knowing and operating in God’s precious – GOOD, SURE, TRUE, ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT (wholesome, mature and complete) WILL for your life and unhindered in the grace wherein you stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT YOUR BODIES (SENSES) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, WILL of God” Romans 12:1-2 (Emphasis Mine). 

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep under my BODY (SENSES), and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 (Emphasis Mine). 

“For we WALK by FAITH, not by SIGHT (SENSES)” 2 Corinthians 5:7 (Emphasis Mine). 

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH (SENSUAL) with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine). 

“LOVE not THE WORLD, neither THE THINGS that ARE in THE WORLD. If any man LOVE THE WORLD, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in THE WORLD, THE LUST OF THE FLESH, and THE LUST OF THE EYES, and THE PRIDE OF LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of THE WORLD. 17 And THE WORLD passeth away, and THE LUST thereof: but he that DOETH the WILL of God ABIDETH for ever” 1 John 2:15-17. 

“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. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the FRIENDSHIP of the world is ENMITY with God? whosoever therefore will be a FRIEND of the world is the ENEMY of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us LUSTETH to ENVY? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God RESISTETH the PROUD, but GIVETH GRACE unto the HUMBLE. 7 SUBMIT yourselves therefore to God. RESIST the devil, and he will FLEE from you. 8 Draw NIGH to God, and he will draw NIGH to you. CLEANSE your hands, ye sinners; and PURIFY your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 HUMBLE yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall LIFT you up” James 4:1-10.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD

By Leave a Comment

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: THERE’S THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD!

It’s a great time to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, before the FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD takes hold of you as it’s so obvious in many places.

“. . . 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

It’s time to INCLINE your EARS to GOD’S WORD by HEARING and giving attendance to God’s SAYINGS, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in the midst of the challenging times. For FAITH comes by the HEARING of the WORD.

“So then FAITH COMES BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

There are many VOICES in the air 24/7, and whom and what you listen to shape up your life every now and then. One is either HEARING to the saying of the WORD of God to APPROVE one, otherwise hearing the saying that’s pose for self-APPLAUD by social and other media platforms; and or the tradition and rudiments of the world, and or the satanic and cohorts sayings, and or self make-believe or made-believe, and or the circumstances of the environment.

It’s time not to feed on rubbish or from the waste bin simply because you wants to feed. Wake up and locate a place for the HEARING OF THE WORD OF GOD not SENTIMENTS that appeals to your emotions and circumstances. God’s INTENT is to GIVE you SHEPHERD that will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. (Jeremiah 3:15; Proverbs 4:7). Locate one today.

There’s a genuine reality today of falsehoods, adulteration, perversion and dilution of the authentic and authoritative WORD of God by the deluded preachers and others in manifold manifestations in the name of Church or Ministry (Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18) It’s not surprising because the Scriptures knew before now of the upcoming FAMINE of the HEARING of The WORD of God.

A lack of the genuine HEARING of the WORD means a lack of FAITH. Faith is the transaction tender between Man and God. Which when lack, or adulterated or fake or diluted, one can’t trade in the Kingdom or Heavenly Business with God. Do you know the effect and consequences of that? It’s therefore imperative that you wake up from your lazy butt and begin to examine what you are HEARING today before the “THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD KICKS INTO YOUR BEING.

A NO HEARING means a NO FAITH and that means a NO TRANSACTION. Heaven does not accept fake or adulterated or counterfeited or polluted and such likes tender outside THE WORD of God that builds up FAITH.

Do yourself a favour and examine what you are feeding your being if its God’s WORD or any of these: Man make-believe, traditional dogmas, creeds, byelaws, rudiments of this world, philosophy of men, emotional sentimental appeals and such likes.

THE ONLY ANTIDOTE TO THE FAMINE OF THE WORD, IS THE HEARING OF THE WORD.

I pray you don’t run to and fro when it’s too late to look for the WORD. Do yourself a favour today before FAMINE kicks in and make-believe or made-believe takes over.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“So then FAITH cometh BY HEARING, AND HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13.

“My son, ATTEND to my words; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23.

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

ENSURING POWER AND GRACE

By Leave a Comment

ENSURING POWER AND GRACE: IT’S ABOUT PERCEPTION AND REFLECTION!
 
“And David PERCEIVED that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he had EXALTED his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake” 2 Samuel 5:12.
 
Your REFLECTION of godliness is the outcome of your PERCEPTION of the WORD of God that’s within your reach. When you PERCEIVE wrongly, you REFLECT wrongly. You are REFLECTING what you are today as a result of the PERCEPTION you have of God’s WORD in every subject that concerns you and probably others. Hence, you don’t have to blame any – and it’s irrelevant how long you’ve been on that PERCEPTION trajectory. And if it’s wrong, you can make a change today and now, in order to enjoy the fulness of God in His POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME.
 
PERCEPTION is not a FEELING. PERCEPTION is of the Spirit – spiritual – of your innermost being by the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God, while FEELING is of the flesh – the SENSES – which is a by-product of SUSPICION, by defining matters from how you – see, taste, touch, smell and hear – about it.
 
Living a life of PERCEPTION by the WORD of God DELIVERS from living a life of SUSPICION that makes one REFLECT wrongly about matters of life and godliness in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
Know full well today, that, it’s how you PERCEIVE of God’s WORD in matters of life and godliness that you REFLECT in your world of doing life and godly living.
 
“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, PERCEIVED the GRACE that was GIVEN unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.
 
And that means, that the level of the operation and manifestations of the POWER of God to FUNCTION and the GRACE of God to BECOME in everyway of doing life and living godly, are define within the concept of your PERCEPTION of God’s WORD in any particular subject _ and that gives the outcome that you are currently REFLECTING and may have experience in your worlds.
 
It’s how you PERCEIVE of God’s WORD that you REFLECT in subject as: Christian marriage, Christian gathering, Christian Prayer and Fasting, Christian giving, Christian and politics, Christian and medicine, Christian and Prosperity, Christian and Leadership, Christian and Unbelieving Relationship and such like.
Just examine these three SCRIPTURAL examples that their PERCEPTION of God’s WORD or SAYING also REFLECTED what brought the changes in their walk with God:
 
ABRAHAM – As far as you can PERCEIVE – so you can REFLECT, God told him – Genesis 22:3-19.
 
THE BLIND MAN – What do you PERCEIVE, Jesus asked the blind man – I PERCEIVED men as TREES (REFLECTION) and then when helped to PERCEIVED well, he REFLECTED his good sight afterwards – Mark 8:23-25.
 
JEREMIAH – what do you PERCEIVE – what he perceived then changed his mischaracterisation of himself to REFLECT the new him – Jeremiah 1:11-12.
 
You can’t LIVE to REFLECT beyond your PERCEPTION of God’s WORD. Hence, the amount of availability of God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME is as experienced by the Apostles.
 
“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were ASSEMBLED TOGETHER; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.
 
I PRAY that you begin to study God’s WORD for yourself in order to have your own personal PERCEPTION as Timothy did as he was instructed by Apostle Paul, to give him the needed REFLECTION of himself with God.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, PERCEIVED the GRACE that was GIVEN unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.
 
“And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he SAW (PERCEIVED) ought. 24 And he looked up, and said, I SEE (PERCEIVE) men as TREES (REFLECTION), walking. 25 After that he put his hands again upon his EYES (PERCEPTION), and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw (PERCEIVED) every man clearly (REFLECTION)” Mark 8:23-25 (Emphasis Mine).
 
“. . . 11 Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what SEEST (PERCEIVE) thou? And I said, I SEE (PERCEIVE) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my WORD to PERFORM (REFLECT) it . . .” Jeremiah 1:1-19 Emphasis Mine.
 
“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were ASSEMBLED TOGETHER; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.
 
“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy scriptures, which are ABLE to make thee wise unto 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 PERFECT, throughly FURNISHED unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.
 
“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.
 
“For the WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.
 
“And the Lord brought Abram outside [his tent into the night] and said, “LOOK (PERCEIVE) now toward the heavens and COUNT (PERCEIVE) the stars—if you are able to COUNT (PERCEIVE) them.” Then He said to him, “So [numerous] shall your descendants be (REFLECTION)” 6 Then Abram believed in (affirmed, trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord; and He counted (credited) it to him [a]as righteousness (doing right in regard to God and man)” Genesis 15:5-6 Amplified. (Genesis 22:3-19).

THE DIVINE LOVE OF GOD – VERSUS – THE LOVE OF THE FIVE SENSES!

By Leave a Comment

THE DIVINE LOVE OF GOD – VERSUS – THE LOVE OF THE FIVE SENSES!

“Now we have RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. . . 14 But the NATURAL MAN receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED” 1 Corinthians 2:12, 14.

There’s THE DIVINE LOVE OF GOD, which is of God and God PERSONIFIED; and there’s THE LOVE OF THE FIVE SENSES which results from and it’s about what we SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL and TOUCH/FEEL to know and understand it, in its context. And such sensual or senses love can’t fathom THE DIVINE GOD, and His divinity as THE GOD OF LOVE and LOVE PERSONIFIED. Neither can it be compared by any measured to THE GOD KIND OF DIVINE LOVE irrespective.

Hence, there’s the need to KNOW The LOVE of Christ, which SURPASSES, SUPERCEDES and TRANSCENDS SENSE KNOWLEDGE; and that’s if you must make sense of God’s default and personified divine LOVE. The divine love of God gives and serves – it’s a GIVING love and serving love, meaning, it does not DEMAND to be love because the embodiment is love and love personified, and it lavishly gives and serves LOVE unconditionally. And divine love in virtue, is a COMMENDED love because of what Christ Jesus is done for us by His love in our REDEMPTION in Him.

“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.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

The FIVE SENSES love speaks of the NATURAL – SENSUAL man who operates by material sensory of FEELING/TOUCHING, TASTING, SMELLING, HEARING and SEEING, to make a concise conclusions in order to ensure its definition in love. It tends demand and fight to be love otherwise goes into a mood or mode of irreparable returns at some point.

This FIVE SENSES LOVE requires laboratory test of men for approval, and as such:

** It’s limited and

** It’s subject to change depending on the public poll of acceptance.

** It’s always awaiting all the time for the acknowledging and approval in – friendship, family, work and in places of governance, doing life and such like.

** It’s built of and on human selfishness even though it’s not easily acknowledged or spoken of as if it is or not.

** It’s based on conditionality in expression

** It’s based on sentiments in nearly all its intent.

And because the five senses love is natural and sensual, it can’t fathom the divine God of love nor God personified in His divine kind of love, hence – LAWS and RULES are made to regulate it with CHANGES in times to suit the human demand and supply.

And unfortunately, the SENSE love kind, could be deadly when not fully actualised, as many have been disappointed, derailed, depressed, suicidal and some even passed on untimely, when the expected expectations didn’t materialised and or come to fruition.

Divine Love is Good and is of God. And is lavishly given to all who comes to God in Christ Jesus by the Blessed Holy Spirit that dwells within a born again child of God. Romans 5:5-8.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Now we have RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. . . 14 But the NATURAL MAN receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED” 1 Corinthians 2:12, 14.

“. . . 17 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] (SENSE) 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 3:14-21. Amplified. Emphasis Mine.

“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.

“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.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.

IT IS WRITTEN – THE FAITH THAT WORKS

IT IS WRITTEN – THE FAITH THAT WORKS: THE POWER OF THE WRITTEN WORD!

I love photo or pictorial info. I love video info. But the Written Info, surpassed them all in my worlds of grace and life. It takes the WRITTEN WORD to create the potential PICTURED WORD to BECOME the Motion and Kinetic VIDEO WORD. It’s simply for this knowing and Understanding:

** FAITH to do life with God comes by HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God – Romans 10:17. FAITH does not come by HAVING HEARD, but by the HEARING – present tense continuous. However, to be APPROVED of God of that FAITH, it comes by STUDYING the WRITTEN WORD of God.

** The acts to study and of studying requires – READING, MEDITATING which is PONDERING THROUGH the WRITTEN WORD and AFFIRMING the WRITTEN WORD in our human spirit by the Holy Spirit until it takes hold of one’s total being.

** And as one begins to make a declaration, that is – testifying or proclaiming or announcing or professing and confessing of the affirmed WORD in our human spirit by the Holy Spirit, we create the atmosphere and realms of the worlds of God, which we enjoy in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Hence, it’s at the WRITTEN WORD that the consciousness of the Living WORD which is the Revealed WORD comes, and through STUDY, it’s developed and transformed into the Incarnate WORD – The WORD that BECOMES FLESH, that’s, the reality, the tangible and the truth in real life terms, for one to enjoy in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Remember this, that Jesus in humanity said – “IT IS WRITTEN” (Matthew 4:1-11), and He did not say – “IT IS PICTORIAL or VIDEO FORMAT” to enable Him or any, put the enemy the Devil and cohorts at bay. It’s simply for the implication of the POWER of the WRITTEN WORD to other means of application to life communications which I don’t undermine at all.

Therefore, don’t take the WRITTEN WORD for granted, simply because of the Picture, pictorial and Video format of the multimedia worlds; and if the WORD of God must be INCARNATE – a reality and tangible, in your life through FAITH, the WRITTEN WORD is the ANSWER.

Am glad today for the AFD FEBRUARY 2019 EDITION it’s out to feed on healthily as it’s entitled: THE FAITH THAT WORKS!

INCLINE YOUR HEARING EARS TO HEAR GOD

INCLINE YOUR HEARING EARS TO HEAR GOD: ONLY THE HEARING OF FAITH  PLEASES GOD!

“My son, attend to my words; INCLINE THINE EAR unto my SAYINGS. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their FLESH” Proverbs 4:20-22.

“. . . 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD . . .” Mark 11:11-14, 20-24.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

It’s time to HEAR God for yourself; it will SAVE you from being MISTAKEN and DELUDED, and from working, walking, and following erroneously. FAITH in God is HOPE and ASSURANCE for your today and tomorrow in the gracious and graceful love of God in His purpose and will in life and grace. [Hebrews 13:8; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11].

Pleasing God Is by FAITH. FAITH Comes by the HEARING and HEARING THE WORD. And the Word PLEASES God. And PLEASING God is REWARDING. It thus Mean therefore that – a NO WORD means a NO FAITH; and a NO FAITH means a NO PLEASING of God; and a NO Pleasing God, means a NO God’s kind of REWARD. More importantly, it’s only when a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, that He MAKES His ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him – [Proverbs 16:7]. Meaning that the easiest way to get rid of the ENEMY and COHORTS about you is by FAITH – that’s by acting correspondingly on God’s WORD. FAITH PLEASES GOD and makes you VICTORIOUS and THE WORLD OVERCOMER. [1 John 5:4-5]. FAITH takes you out of SIN and SINFUL CONSCIOUSNESS to RIGHTEOUS CONSCIOUSNESS. [Romans 14:23].

THEREFORE, INCLINE YOUR EAR TO HEAR GOD – HEAR HEALTHILY UNTIL YOU FEED YOUR SPIRIT BEING FOR YOUR OWN GOOD AND GOODNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

Hearing God will always save you from being MISTAKENED, MAKING ERRORS and DELUDED in everyway in doing life with God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For FAITH in God is hope and assurance for your today and tomorrow well-being in life and godly living. [Hebrews 13:8, Matthew 22:29]. Hearing the word gives entrance of the WORD into the human spirit. And it’s only by the entrance of the WORD that one gets enlightened, illuminated and a simplified life in all CONTEXT. [Psalms 119:105, 130; John 1:1-5; Proverbs 4:18-23; 2 Corinthians 4:6].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD . . .” Mark 11:11-14, 20-24.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“But without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“When a MAN’S WAYS PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“My son, attend to my words; INCLINE THINE EAR unto my SAYINGS. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their FLESH” Proverbs 4:20-22.

“For WHATSOEVER is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“And he that DOUBTETH is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of FAITH: for WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN” Romans 14:23.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:16-17).

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE IN THINE HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

PRESENTING YOUR BODIES (FLESH – SENSES) TO GOD

By Leave a Comment

PRESENTING YOUR BODIES (FLESH – SENSES) TO GOD: THE EASIEST WAY TO KNOWING GOD’S WILL AND TO TRIUMPH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24  And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH (SENSUAL) with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).

I do know that every Believers in Christ wants to live triumphantly and experience the EASIEST way to their daily TRIUMPH and to be A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, OVERCOMER and VICTORIOUS (2 Corinthians 2:14; Romans 8:37; 1 John 5:4-5; 1 Corinthians 15:57); also, everyone in Christ Jesus stead wants to KNOW THE HOW and OPERATIVE PRINCIPLE in God’s WILL, for them, as they do life and live in grace, without obstructions.

Being a GOSPEL Minister have given me such a rare privilege to know relatively, the questions and the feelings of people who struggles day to day, in order to ensure that they are at peace within themselves, especially on matters affecting their personal relationship with God; and in the HOW they do life with others and in carrying out their daily earthly affairs. Unknown to some, the solution and matters are simple – it’s for you to PRESENT YOUR BODIES AS A LIVING SACRIFICES UNTO GOD.

But HOW can one present one’s BODIES to God as a living sacrifice? To present your BODIES simply means to hand over your SENSES which makes you BODY-RULED or FLESH-RULED toward God instead of being SPIRIT-RULED or WORD-RULED toward Him. The human body is functional by the operation of the FIVE SENSES: These senses are –

** Sight (Seeing),

** Hear (Hearing/Listening),

** Taste (Tasting),

** Feel (Feeling) or Touch (Touching) and

** Smell (Smelling).

These five senses have made and unmade humanity in various shape in what they have become to themselves and relatives to OTHERS intentionally and unintentionally. It’s of these senses that man failed and fall in the first place with God and himself. And many are still in such a great danger in their daily walk with God.

The scriptures enjoined us to WALK by FAITH SENSE – that’s by the WORD SENSE, for FAITH is functional by the WORD, it comes by the WORD and it’s build up by the WORD; hence we should not WALK by SIGHT – SENSE (Five Senses of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling (touching).

More so, FAITH IS SPIRITUAL, and it’s of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, PRESENTING YOUR SENSES TO BE SPIRIT-LED (WORD LED), will ensure EASE and TRIUMPH in knowing and operating in God’s precious – GOOD, SURE, TRUE, ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT (wholesome, mature and complete) WILL for your life and unhindered in the grace wherein you stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT YOUR BODIES (SENSES) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, WILL of God” Romans 12:1-2 (Emphasis Mine).

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep under my BODY (SENSES), and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 (Emphasis Mine)

“For we WALK by FAITH, not by SIGHT (SENSES)” 2 Corinthians 5:7 (Emphasis Mine)

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24  And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH (SENSUAL) with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).

“LOVE not THE WORLD, neither THE THINGS that ARE in THE WORLD. If any man LOVE THE WORLD, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in THE WORLD, THE LUST OF THE FLESH, and THE LUST OF THE EYES, and THE PRIDE OF LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of THE WORLD. 17 And THE WORLD passeth away, and THE LUST thereof: but he that DOETH the WILL of God ABIDETH for ever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“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. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the FRIENDSHIP of the world is ENMITY with God? whosoever therefore will be a FRIEND of the world is the ENEMY of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us LUSTETH to ENVY? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God RESISTETH the PROUD, but GIVETH GRACE unto the HUMBLE. 7 SUBMIT yourselves therefore to God. RESIST the devil, and he will FLEE from you. 8 Draw NIGH to God, and he will draw NIGH to you. CLEANSE your hands, ye sinners; and PURIFY your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 HUMBLE yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall LIFT you up” James 4:1-10.

ENSURING POWER AND GRACE

By Leave a Comment

ENSURING POWER AND GRACE: IT’S ABOUT PERCEPTION AND REFLECTION!

“And David PERCEIVED that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he had EXALTED his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake” 2 Samuel 5:12.

Your REFLECTION of godliness is the outcome of your PERCEPTION of the WORD of God that’s within your reach. When you PERCEIVE wrongly, you REFLECT wrongly. You are REFLECTING what you are today as a result of the PERCEPTION you have of God’s WORD in every subject that concerns you and probably others. Hence, you don’t have to blame any – and it’s irrelevant how long you’ve been on that PERCEPTION trajectory. And if it’s wrong, you can make a change today and now, in order to enjoy the fulness of God in His POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME.

PERCEPTION is not a FEELING. PERCEPTION is of the Spirit – spiritual – of your innermost being by the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God, while FEELING is of the flesh – the SENSES – which is a by-product of SUSPICION, by defining matters from how you – see, taste, touch, smell and hear – about it. Living a life of PERCEPTION by the WORD of God DELIVERS from living a life of SUSPICION that makes one REFLECT wrongly about matters of life and godliness in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Know full well today, that, it’s how you PERCEIVE of God’s WORD in matters of life and godliness that you REFLECT in your world of doing life and godly living.

“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, PERCEIVED the GRACE that was GIVEN unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.

And that means, that the level of the operation and manifestations of the POWER of God to FUNCTION and the GRACE of God to BECOME in everyway of doing life and living godly, are define within the concept of your PERCEPTION of God’s WORD in any particular subject _ and that gives the outcome that you are currently REFLECTING and may have experience in your worlds.

It’s how you PERCEIVE of God’s WORD that you REFLECT in subject as: Christian marriage, Christian gathering, Christian Prayer and Fasting, Christian giving, Christian and politics, Christian and medicine, Christian and Prosperity, Christian and Leadership, Christian and Unbelieving Relationship and such like.

Just examine these three SCRIPTURAL examples that their PERCEPTION of God’s WORD or SAYING also REFLECTED what brought the changes in their walk with God:

** ABRAHAM – As far as you can PERCEIVE – so you can REFLECT, God told him – Genesis 22:3-19.

** THE BLIND MAN – What do you PERCEIVE, Jesus asked the blind man – I PERCEIVED men as TREES (REFLECTION) and then when helped to PERCEIVED well, he REFLECTED his good sight afterwards – Mark 8:23-25.

** JEREMIAH – what do you PERCEIVE – what he perceived then changed his mischaracterization of himself to REFLECT the new him – Jeremiah 1:11-12.

You can’t LIVE to REFLECT beyond your PERCEPTION of God’s WORD. Hence, the amount of availability of God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME is as experienced by the Apostles.

“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were ASSEMBLED TOGETHER; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

I PRAY that you begin to study God’s WORD for yourself in order to have your own personal PERCEPTION as Timothy did as he was instructed by Apostle Paul, to give him the needed REFLECTION of himself with God.

“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, PERCEIVED the GRACE that was GIVEN unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.

“And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he SAW (PERCEIVED) ought. 24 And he looked up, and said, I SEE (PERCEIVE) men as TREES (REFLECTION), walking. 25 After that he put his hands again upon his EYES (PERCEPTION), and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw (PERCEIVED) every man clearly (REFLECTION)” Mark 8:23-25 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 11 Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what SEEST (PERCEIVE) thou? And I said, I SEE (PERCEIVE) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my WORD to PERFORM (REFLECT) it . . .” Jeremiah 1:1-19 Emphasis Mine.

“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were ASSEMBLED TOGETHER; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy scriptures, which are ABLE to make thee wise unto 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 PERFECT, throughly FURNISHED unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“For the WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

“And the Lord brought Abram outside [his tent into the night] and said, “LOOK (PERCEIVE) now toward the heavens and COUNT (PERCEIVE) the stars—if you are able to COUNT (PERCEIVE) them.” Then He said to him, “So [numerous] shall your descendants be (REFLECTION)” 6 Then Abram believed in (affirmed, trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord; and He counted (credited) it to him [a]as righteousness (doing right in regard to God and man)” Genesis 15:5-6 Amplified. (Genesis 22:3-19).
