THE GENUINE LOVE IS PURE AND REFRESHING

THE GENUINE LOVE IS PURE AND REFRESHING: IT’S CALLED – AGAPE LOVE!

LOVE is a mystery but not mystical. For God is Love. God is a mystery and not mystical. His LOVE is pure, practicable, liveable, approachable and loveable, for it’s EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to us. [Romans 5:5]. And He’s a mystery to only them and those who don’t know Him in His Love. For He is LOVE and His LOVE is PURE, TRUE and REFRESHING.

And God’s LOVE is Beautiful, Unquestionable, Unspeakable, Incomprehensible and Indescribable; and it is a gracious and graceful GIFT, that is shared in our hearts by the Holy Spirit; and it’s GIVEN to us to SHARE alike in Christ Jesus stead. God’s LOVE is genuine and involves laying down ones life for the other to keep it alive and refreshing.

When it comes to God’s LOVE in relationship and maritally, especially for the man, it’s gracious and graceful to know that MARRYING THE WOMAN YOU LOVE IS GOOD. BUT LOVING THE WOMAN YOU MARRIED, NOW, THAT IS SPECIAL AND AWESOME.

“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, FOUR WHICH I KNOW NOT: 19 the way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and THE WAY OF A MAN WITH A WOMAN” Proverbs 30:18-19.

“Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for LOVE IS STRONG AS DEATH; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. 7 MANY WATERS CANNOT QUENCH LOVE, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned” Songs of Solomon 8:6-7.

AND SOMEONE SAID:

“A HAPPY MAN MARRIES THE WOMAN HE LOVES. BUT A HAPPIER MAN LOVES THE WOMAN HE MARRIES” – Isaac Kubvoruno

And I Say this to you unreservedly:

LOVE – Is the BEAUTIFUL GIFT, giving to us to SHARE in grace. It’s about LOVING GOD FIRST, AND LOVING OTHERS IN HIS LOVE. More so, you need to keep on keeping on, dating again and again and again . . . the one you genuinely and truly LOVE to make your love refreshing,  liveable and practicable – for LOVE is the most EXCELLENT WAY, the gracious and graceful act in DOING LIFE TOGETHER in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The greater love of God, is the only genuine LOVE. It Is PURE and REFRESHING. It is AGAPE LOVE. It transcends and surpasses human SENSE and all comprehension.

Welcome I say to God’s kind of LOVE – the AGAPE LOVE, which is EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit of Love, through God’s WORD, in our human spirit.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 15:12-14.

“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.

LOVING GOD IN HIS LOVE TERMS

LOVING GOD IN HIS LOVE TERMS: FOR GOD’S LOVE – IS THE ‘LOVE’ OF THE SIXTH SENSE – CALLED AGAPE!

“. . . 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 4:8, 16 [7-21]/Amplified.

There’s the LOVE of God which operates and lubricates by FAITH in God’s Word – it’s called AGAPE LOVE [Galatians 5:6; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13]. This love of God is pure, spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and this love of God is inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. And this love is sustained and maintained by the Holy Spirit, hence it knows no stress, weakness, tiredness and weariness; and it doesn’t fades and weathered out with times with changes, and it’s not limited or conditioned by any ‘nesses; and there’s NO ROOM for selfishness, wickedness, manipulation, controlling, maliciousness and greediness. It’s the love that transcends, surpasses and supercedes all human reasoning – meaning, there’s no room for prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.

“That Christ may DWELL in your HEARTS [SPIRIT-BEING] 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, SUPERCEDES, SURPASSES) KNOWLEDGE (Human Senses), that ye might be FILLED with ALL the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/Emphasis Mine.

HEREIN ARE FEW THINGS TO NOTE OF –  GOD’S LOVE:

** It’s the LOVE that embodiment are HOPE and FAITH for functionality.

** It’s LOVE that’s built on principles, and it’s intentional, unconditional and boundless.

** It’s the LOVE that transcends, supercedes and surpasses the natural or material worlds love of the Five Senses that’s of – smell, see, taste, hear feel/touch.

** It’s the LOVE  that’s of a more excellent way to communicate to God and man in God’s terms in Christ Jesus stead.

** It’s the LOVE that enriches all things and transcends – culture, religion, colour, tradition, generation, gender and dispensation. This is simply because this LOVE is of God, is God and God personified.

** It’s the LOVE that answers to every quest of man and it’s yet not fathom by the five senses or limited by it in every measures of doing life and living godly by God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

** It’s the LOVE that treats others with respect and dignity; and it takes no advantage on people nor of people; it tends to give and serve than to demand and to receive the attention of love and or to be love.

I therefore, sincerely and honestly recommends this LOVE of God to for your good, goodness and wellbeing. For this LOVE is pure, spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and it’s the LOVE that’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. It’s the more excellent way to do life and live godly with God in Christ Jesus stead [1 Corinthians 12:31].

DEFINING LOVE IN GOD’S TERMS

By Leave a Comment

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

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?

“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.

It’s good to know what’s LOVE and what people means when they talk of LOVE and or matters of love. And defining LOVE in God’s terms is very vital to do life and godly living with God. And the knowing and understanding that GOD IS LOVE and LOVE PERSONIFIED, makes all the difference in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

HEREIN IS MY TAKE IN DEFINING LOVE:

** THE 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.

** THE 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 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 that will hurt and hunt you for the rest of your life.

Know full well today that – GOD IS LOVE. In other words, the DEFINITION of LOVE is – God. And God is LOVE PERSONIFIED. And you can only DEFINE LOVE in God. And God’s LOVE which is in Christ Jesus, transcends, surpasses and supercedes human sense knowledge in every dimensions. And 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 will keep coming over and over again – because ignorance of any context breeds abuse – and to abuse is to be abnormal in application and usage.

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

“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.

THE DIVINE LOVE OF GOD

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 it’s 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 it’s 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 its not easily acknowledge or spoken of as if it is or not.

** It’s based on conditionality in expression

** It’s based on sentiments in nearly all it’s 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.

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

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

And herein 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.

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

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.

LOVING IS LIVING: DIVINE LOVE

By Leave a Comment

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 He lavishly shared and poured into our hearts – the 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.

“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.

“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 4:8, 16/Amplified.

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, and what makes a unique or the unique difference between  anyone is this knowing and understanding – IT’S MORE BLESSED TO GIVE [LOVE] THAN TO RECEIVE [LOVE] – that’s why our God it’s an outstanding in all His ways – ever loving even when He’s unloved and unaccepted. CAN’T YOU LIVE IN SAME LIKE SPHERE AS HIS OWN IN CHRIST JESUS? [Romans 5:5, 8; Acts 20:35; Ephesians 3:17-19; John 13:34-35; John 15:9-16; 1 John 3:11-24; 1 Corinthians 14:1; 1 Peter 4:8]. For God so LOVE, He GAVE love without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation in Christ Jesus – [John 3:16; Romans 12:9].

And until you resolve to be the love GIVER, rather than the one that DEMANDS 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, SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS way beyond all human reasoning – SENSES – by what you do smell, see, taste, hear and feel/touch. [Ephesians 3:17-19].

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 . . .” 1 John 4:7-21.

The FAITH That WORKS: OPERATES In LOVE!

The FAITH That WORKS: OPERATES In LOVE!

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

The FAITH that WORKS it’s found in them that LOVES God. Do you LOVE God? The reason being this: ALL THINGS will always WORK for those who LOVES God as they walk in the Kingdom Cause of God’s PURPOSE for them. Meaning,  they are addicted to walk in OBEDIENCE to God’s WORD to win life battles through FAITH (1John 5:3-5). FOR GOD WILL ALWAYS COMMEND WHAT HE COMMAND.

For FAITH works by LOVE. Until LOVE is enthroned in our hearts, in our day to day dealings with God and others, in RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – there will always be a struggle in attaining to the FREEDOM we seek.

For LOVE is the summation of the LAW, and it’s unparalleled to the bondages of bye laws, traditions, oblations, creeds and dogmas of man-made enclaves to reach or please God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore – SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

“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.

“Owe no man any thing, but to LOVE one another: FOR HE THAT LOVETH ANOTHER HATH FULFILLED THE LAW. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 LOVE worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore LOVE is the FULFILLING OF THE LAW” Romans 13:8-10.

“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.

“Now the end of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE heart, and of a GOOD conscience, and of FAITH unfeigned” 1 Timothy 1:5.

“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 15:12-14.

“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.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep his COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS (BURDENSOME TASKMASTER IRKSOME)” 1 John 5:3.

“And he answering said, Thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with all thy HEART, and with all thy SOUL, and with all thy STRENGTH, and with all thy MIND; and thy NEIGHBOUR as thyself” Luke 10:27.

WISDOM NUGGETS – TO MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD

By Leave a Comment

WISDOM NUGGETS – TO MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD: IT’S A PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT SOMEONE’S ELSE’S!

“ENDEAVOURING to KEEP the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” Ephesians 4:3.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].

I herein remind you to make your FAITH work out for your good and goodness, for it’s a personal responsibility and not someone’s else’s. You need to have a pragmatic resolved and intentionally set out your personal scriptural effort, with the assurance to ensure that you make the necessary endeavours, to inflame and ablaze your faith, in order to make you glow in life and grace irrespective. For your faith will definitely define your today and tomorrow – knowingly and unknowingly.

FAITH without WORKS is DEAD been ALONE. Faith not ACTIONED is dead indeed.  Meaning FAITH WORKING without the action of LOVE – which is the DEFAULT can’t function healthily and lacks VITALITY and the TENDER valued power with God.

FAITH is acting correspondingly on what you believe on God’s word accordingly. So the act of faith directly or indirectly in life and charitable causes are as authentic to and by God in His word, only through LOVE.

It’s either your FAITH is WORKING as Scripturally enjoined by LOVE, or you are living by FATE and FAKE knowingly and or unknowingly.

Therefore set your priority with God right; for your FAITH to WORK the WORKS of life and grace EFFECTUALLY, LOVE is INEVITABLE in everyway. Meaning, in order to inflame and ablaze your FAITH to GLOW in grace and life, the default of LOVE must be ensured to be actively engaged.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“ENDEAVOURING to KEEP the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” Ephesians 4:3.

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, BUT FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE” Galatians 5:6 (NKJV)

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED BY WORKS, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 SEEST THOU HOW FAITH WROUGHT WITH HIS WORKS, AND BY WORKS WAS FAITH MADE PERFECT? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 YE SEE THEN HOW THAT BY WORKS A MAN IS JUSTIFIED, AND NOT BY FAITH ONLY. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, SO FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO” James 2:20-26.

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED A GOOD REPORT. 3 Through FAITH we UNDERSTAND that THE WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 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 11:1-3, 6.

“For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].

“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.

“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.
