What drives your interest in leadership, and how would you describe your approach?

By Leave a Comment

What drives your interest in leadership, and how would you describe your approach: do you prioritize serving your team (servant leadership) or exercising formal authority (directive leadership)? 

“When the RIGHTEOUS are in AUTHORITY, the PEOPLE REJOICE: But when the WICKED BEARETH RULE, the PEOPLE MOURN” Proverbs 29:2. 

Today in our world, you don’t have to look far off to see leadership of all sorts and the effects of their leadership on their people and country. And worst is seeing some places where there’s prevalence of looting, stealing, embezzlement, corruption, inhumane behaviour and wickedness across the boards in lordship leadership. And sometimes you will be thinking of bigger places of leadership as more of menace, but there’s the need to see the breeding and brewing places of some lordship leadership are made, when you look more closely; closely I mean, when you see all sorts of leadership and the perils created by even the small leadership levels as found in local leadership levels down the communities, and such like. 

“. . . 25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the PRINCES [LEADERSHIP] of the Gentiles EXERCISE DOMINION over them, and they that are GREAT EXERCISE AUTHORITY upon them. 26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your MINISTER; 27 and whosoever will be CHIEF [[LEADER] among you, let him be your SERVANT: 28 even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many” Matthew 20:20-28 [Mark 10:35-45]. 

The scripture is very clear that godly leadership brings about good governance through Servanthood. And such leadership leads by a heartfelt LOVE of their people and country without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. And when such characteristics are not found and obtained, such leadership is not a godly leadership irrespective of the person’s religious status, so acclaimed or supported or made to be, or looked like for self-applause. 

“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” Galatians 5:13-15. 

Anyone without a godly concept to lead is fit for lordship leadership. And almost all in such positions are there to oppress, bully, and loot the people’s and country’s assets and common wealth. They think bullying others is strength. But God has a date with such wicked and evil leaders hiding behind a cloak of leadership. 

“Though HAND JOIN IN HAND, THE WICKED SHALL NOT BE UNPUNISHED: But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered . . . 31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: Much more THE WICKED and the sinner” Proverbs 11:21, 31. 

“Though A SINNER DO EVIL AN HUNDRED TIMES, and HIS DAYS BE PROLONGED, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: 13 BUT IT SHALL NOT BE WELL WITH THE WICKED, NEITHER SHALL HE PROLONG HIS DAYS, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God” Ecclesiastes 8:12-13. 

And God is determined, no matter how long evil and wicked leaders in leadership stays without a servant heart leadership, that He won’t allow the rod and opportunity of the wicked to rest upon the lot of the righteous, so that the righteous won’t learn of their way to suffer along.  

“For the ROD OF THE WICKED shall not rest upon THE LOT OF THE RIGHTEOUS; Lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity” Psalms 125:3. 

The Believer in Christ must be resolved to know that in serving in any points in leadership of the public environment: be it in Government [Governance], Industry, education, Church, Health and such like, a Servanthood spirit is a prerequisites to God’s approval instead of men approval [applause] as Joseph, Daniel and other biblical leadership leaders that earned God approvals]. The scripture indicates that after you’ve done what you are privileged and permitted to do in Servanthood leadership, you should consider yourself unworthy. What a charge to make any godly leadership aspirants to know it’s all about God for the good of us and the country and not for self-centered and self-gratification. 

“So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are UNPROFITABLE SERVANTS: we have done that which was our duty to do” Luke 17:10. 

So, I ask you again, have you been in leadership? Are you currently in leadership? Are you intending in going to leadership? What are your yardstick? Do you know that God search the reins, thoughts and intents of the hearts in whichever spectrum you may qualify yourself. One thing is sure and certain is this- that God knows if you are set to be in leadership as to serve, otherwise servanthood leadership, or you are there or being there or hoping to step in to be of the lordship leadership. 

“I the LORD SEARCH THE HEART, I try the REINS, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings” Jeremiah 17:10. 

“And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which SEARCHETH the REINS and HEARTS: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works” Revelation 2:23. 

“And he that SEARCHETH THE HEARTS knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God” Romans 8:27. 

I do pray that your if you are intending to get into leadership, especially in the public sectors, ensure you have a good and godly personal aspirations before going into leadership. And there’s the need to know that the part way of godly living is of a Servanthood Leadership and any form otherwise, it’s of Lordship Leadership.

“And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. 36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? 37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. 38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? 39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: 40 but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. 42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. 43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: 44 and whosoever of you will be the CHIEFEST, shall be SERVANT of all. 45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many” Mark 10:35-45.

WELCOME TO MONTH APRIL 2025: THE MONTH OF “ENACTING OUR REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS!”

“They that TRUST in their WEALTH, and BOAST themselves in the MULTITUDE of their RICHES; 7 NONE of them can by any means REDEEM His brother, nor GIVE to God a RANSOM for him: 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their soul is PRECIOUS, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption” Psalms 49:6-9.

“. . . 11 For other FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is . . .” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.
 
“He sent REDEMPTION unto His people: He hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name” Psalms 111:9.
 
“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED His people . . .” Luke 1:68-75.
“But of him ARE ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE UNTO US wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord”                                                       
“”. . . 2 GRACE and PEACE be MULTIPLIED unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as His DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of Him that hath CALLED US to GLORY and VIRTUE . . .” 2 Peter 1:1-4.

The KINGDOM will only offer and give back to you what you are able in grace to PLACE a DEMAND upon in REDEMPTION. Where there’s NO ACTS to DEMAND, there’s NO tangible POSSESSION, otherwise one is reduced to the common [general] possessions.
 
KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your REDEMPTION rights and privileges gives you access to enact and enjoy your wholesome REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“He sent REDEMPTION unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name” Psalms 111:9.
 
“BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED His people, 69 and hath RAISED up an horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David; 70 as He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 that we should be SAVED from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 the oath which He sware to our father Abraham, 74 that He would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our enemies might SERVE him without fear, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life” Luke 1:68-75.
 
“Just as Abraham “BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS.” 7 Therefore know that only those who ARE of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the Gentiles by faith, PREACHED the GOSPEL to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” 9 So then those who ARE of faith are BLESSED with believing Abraham . . . 13 Christ has REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 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 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29/NKJV.
 
“In whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins, according to the RICHES of his GRACE; 8 wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence” Ephesians 1:7-8.
 
“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the POWER OF DARKNESS and CONVEYED [TRANSLATED] us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His BLOOD, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV.
 
“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took PART of the same; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER OF DEATH, that is, the DEVIL; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of DEATH were all their LIFETIME SUBJECT TO BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.
 
“Seeing then that we have a great HIGH PRIEST, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find GRACE to help in time of need” Hebrews 4:14-16.
 
“But Christ being come an HIGH PRIEST of good things to come, by a GREATER and MORE PERFECT tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained ETERNAL REDEMPTION for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this cause he is the MEDIATOR of the NEW TESTAMENT, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of ETERNAL INHERITANCE. 16 For where a TESTAMENT is, there must also of NECESSITY be the DEATH of the TESTATOR” Hebrews 9:11-16.
 
“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that BLESS thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3.
 
“And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: 14 FOR HE HAD POSSESSION OF FLOCKS, AND POSSESSION OF HERDS, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. 15 For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth” Genesis 26:13-14.
 
“In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the [a]guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] POSSESSION [His believers], to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:13-14.
 
“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to GLORY and VIRTUE: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.

WELCOME TO EMMANUEL MONTH – DECEMBER 2024: MONTH OF ENACTING – “EMMANUEL – THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US” – IN CHRIST JESUS!

“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 [TRANSCENDS] KNOWLEDGE [SENSES], that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/Emphasis Mine.

I sincerely welcome you to the EMMANUEL month – DECEMBER 2024; It is the Month to experience the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus, that transcends the reasoning of the senses [see, hear, feel/touch, smell and taste] – that’s the LOVE OF GOD WITH US that’s beyond sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation; and it’s the month of experiencing, expressing and enacting the genuity of – THE LOVE OF GOD THAT’S BEYOND KNOWLEDGE – in Christ Jesus that’s dwelling WITH us as IN us and FOR us. So therefore, under God and in God’s divine names in Christ Jesus, I hereby WELCOME you with the hearts of love in Christ Jesus stead, to join me in EMMANUEL MONTH – month DECEMBER 2024 that’s entitled “THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US” in Christ Jesus; it is the month for us to KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD THAT TRANSCEND SENSE KNOWLEDGE as we do life and godly living in the Month with this knowing and understanding that it is also:

THE COMMEMORATION AND CELEBRATIONS OF GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS AND HIS REDEMPTION CAUSE ON EARTH TO ALL MANKIND.

I am fully persuaded and excited, knowing and understanding by God’s enabling grace that the month DECEMBER as entitled – “THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US” in Christ Jesus, is beyond the beyond human sense knowledge. And it is about EMMANUEL, the God WITH US and the God IN US and the God FOR US, which is the person of JESUS THE CHRIST – The MESSIAH, The SAVIOUR and The LORD – that’s BORN in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit that’s given and lavished to us, in order to express the God’s love that’s beyond knowledge – senses in our being.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE OF GOD is shed [lavished] 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 Month DECEMBER 2024, as we all know, is the Month TWELVE (12) of the Julian and Gregorian Calendar Months. It happen to be the last in the numerical Monthly count of the yearly numbering. Besides this, there are other indications of the number TWELVE. Herein are few for your perusal:

** The number 12 is ubiquitous — it’s the number of months in a year, hours on a clock face and the number of members on a typical court jury.

** The number 12 is mentioned often in the New Testament of the Bible, such as Jesus’ selection of 12 apostles. That choice was deliberate, with each apostle representing one of the 12 tribes of Israel. In the most of cases number 12 is actually a representation of authority and perfection.

** This number can also represent the CHURCH and FAITH in general. It can be also used as a symbol of divine rule, actually the symbol of the perfect government of God.

Month DECEMBER is a unique month in many ways and respect in terms of been the twelve month as mentioned and described above. It’s also a gracious month to enhance the goodness and BLESSEDNESS of the BEAUTY of God’s work in humanity as per the Scriptural writ of the month DECEMBER as theme and entitled:

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall CALL his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US” Matthew 1:23.

“For unto you is born THIS DAY in the city of David a SAVIOUR, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, AND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN” Luke 2:11-14.

“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST” Matthew 16:20.

Upon the basis of the SCRIPTURES above, I therefore say to you in the name of the Lord God, that by – THIS DAY – BEING TODAY, LET EMMANUEL – THE LOVE OF GOD IN JESUS THE CHRIST – The MESSIAH, THE SAVIOUR AND LORD GOD – BE BORN IN YOUR HEARTS as you do life to live godly as themed:

“EMMANUEL! THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US”

The theme as stated is of EMMANUEL – The GOD WITH US. For EMMANUEL indicates – THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE that’s WITH US – and thus signifies God dwelling (or had come to dwell) with humanity – thereby creates a new passage for a new kind of RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP between us and Him that’s built on love and the love of the Fatherhood of God, making a family in Christ Jesus. For we lost this RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP in the Eden of Adam; but God in His LOVE at the Birth of JESUS THE CHRIST, has RESTORED this awesome FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP In Him, which was and is made possible, in the CAUSE of His REDEMPTION for us in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom THE WHOLE FAMILY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH IS NAMED, 16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man” Ephesians 3:14-16.

God in humanity is JESUS in name; while CHRIST depicts Him as – the EMMANUEL, 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 of GOD’S LOVE in Christ Jesus, so that we might enjoy God and the heavens RELATIONSHIP on earth again; so we can say that as “HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD” and can joyfully ask of HIS WILL to be done in our domain on this side of heaven call the earth, as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 1 John 4:17 and Matthew 6:10.

“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” 1 John 4:17.

“Thy KINGDOM come. THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN” Matthew 6:10.

This then is the REASON for the SEASON, the DECEMBER mood that comes along with CHRISTMAS which is:

 “The Yearly and Annual COMMEMORATION and CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on EARTH” for the good of ALL mankind.

And it is as we EXPLORE His LOVE in His PRESENCE in this RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP of JESUS – THE CHRIST, who is our God EMMANUEL, we can then ENACT Him in IN us, FOR us and WITH us; and when our PATH OF LIFE is ordered alright in this essence of God EMMANUEL, we can then enjoy to the FULNESS, the abounding  PLEASURES of God in His grace and BLESSEDNESS forevermore. Amen. [Psalms 16:11; Psalms 65:11-13/NLT; 1 Corinthians 1:9].

Therefore today, as in this Month DECEMBER that prelude the CHRISTMAS season, let’s take advantage of the indwelling LOVE of God in EMMANUEL – JESUS the Christ, in order to enjoy continuously, God’s presence in FELLOWSHIP 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 – THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US – in the personal of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, comes to be in your life, in this Month DECEMBER, this season that prelude the Christmas, in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Be BLESSED in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“” Psalms 65:11-13/NLT.

“Behold, a VIRGIN shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US” Matthew 1:23.

“For unto you is BORN THIS DAY in the city of David a SAVIOUR, which is Christ the Lord” Luke 2:11.

“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 from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL WITNESS, and the FIRST BEGOTTEN of the dead, and THE PRINCE of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.

“. . . 17 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 KNOWLEDGE, that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

“Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having LOVED His own which were in the world, He LOVED them unto the end . . . 34 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 13:1, 34-35.

“As the Father hath LOVED me, so have I LOVED you: CONTINUE YE IN MY LOVE. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE IN MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:9-14.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 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” Galatians 5:6, 13-14.

“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.

“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 12:9-21.

“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 8:28-30.

“. . .3 BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ . . .11 in whom also WE have OBTAINED an INHERITANCE, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the COUNSEL of his own WILL . . .” Ephesians 1:1-14.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE – MANIFEST IN HUMANITY: JESUS CHRIST – GOD’S LOVED SON FOR OUR HUMAN GOOD AND GOODNESS!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL WITNESS, and the FIRST BEGOTTEN of the dead, and THE PRINCE of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.

“Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having LOVED his own which were in the world, he LOVED them unto the end . . . 34 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 13:1, 34-35.

“As the Father hath LOVED me, so have I LOVED you: CONTINUE YE IN MY LOVE. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE IN MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:9-14.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 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” Galatians 5:6, 13-14.

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

“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 any thing 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 . . .14 And THE WORD was made FLESH (HUMAN), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14 Emphasis Mine.

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: AND THESE THREE ARE ONE” 1 John 5:7.

“. . . 17 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 KNOWLEDGE, that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

“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.
