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 is 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.

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE: TO ENSURE THAT THE EARTH IS FILLED – WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND GLORY OF THE LORD! 

“But as truly as I Live, all the earth shall be FILLED with the GLORY of the Lord” Numbers 14:21. 

“For the EARTH shall be FILLED with the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of the Lord, as the waters COVER the sea” Habakkuk 2:14. 

One of the key missions of any visionary ambassador is to fulfil the assigned context of the sending nation to the stationed nation where he/she is serving as a representative [Messenger]. 

 Otherwise, such an ambassador’s misnomer and behaviour may lead to being declared with A PERSONA NON GRATA, meaning a person whose no longer welcome or deemed qualified to represent their sending nation in the host nation. 

And the scripture called such messenger [representative, ambassador] with A PERSONA NON GRATA, a wicked one [bad representative], in not serving worthily to FULFILL the assigned concept and perception of the sending nation as commission [assigned]. And as always, when declared a PERSONA NON GRATA, there’s bound to be a trouble [mischief] for such bad representative [ambassador], while the good and faithful ambassador that BEAR WITNESS of trust will enjoy a healthy and rewarding relationship with the sending nation [country]. And I now ask – which are you today?  

“A WICKED MESSENGER [REPRESENTATIVE] falleth into MISCHIEF [TROUBLE]: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17. 

And for us as to being CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR in love, our visionary mission upon which we are empowered of God to serve in Christ Jesus, is purely to BEAR WITNESS, thereby ensuring that the GOSPEL reaches unto the ends of the earth unhindered, and for the good and goodness of all mankind and not for a few; and we are to BEAR WITNESS from our home first, which is our Jerusalem] of being a representative, and then to the ends of the earth [Judah, Samaria, etc.] beyond walls and borders. It’s of no worth going about to BEAR WITNESS as CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR to the world while you can’t live out fully to be one at home with the KNOWLEDGE and GLORY of God in virtues in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20. 

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8. 

“For so hath the Lord COMMANDED us, saying, I have SET thee to be a LIGHT of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for SALVATION unto the ENDS OF THE EARTH” Acts 13:47. 

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto ALL NATIONS; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14. 

“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, to BEAR WITNESS of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was NOT that LIGHT, but was sent to BEAR WITNESS of that LIGHT” John 1:6-8 

Even our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ was on earth to BEAR WITNESS of the Father God to humanity. Hence, He lived for a CAUSE [PURPOSE] – [John 18:37; 1 John 3:8]; and for such loyalty of service to please the Father God unreservedly, He was highly commended by the Father. He knew the implications of what it means to be an ambassador, a representative of the sending nation or country [Heaven] – [Matthew 25:14-30], without jeopardising the trust and faith been lavishly given to any to serve in such regards. 

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should BEAR WITNESS unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37 [1 John 3:8]. 

“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. 

“Wherefore God also hath HIGHLY EXALTED Him, and GIVEN Him a NAME which is ABOVE EVERY NAME: 10 that at the NAME of Jesus every KNEE should BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every TONGUE should CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:9-11. 

And the essence of being able to BEAR WITNESS is to be a true and genuine carrier of the mission which is to ensure that from your domain to the ends of the earth, that the KNOWLEDGE and GLORY of God FILLED up every hearts and minds in order to secure them from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus stead.  

“But as truly as I Live, all the earth shall be FILLED with the GLORY of the Lord” Numbers 14:21 

“For the EARTH shall be FILLED with the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of the Lord, as the waters COVER the sea” Habakkuk 2:14. 

“Who hath DELIVERED us from the POWER of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED us into the KINGDOM of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:13-14. 

I therefore challenge you today, to fan into flame the spirit within to give you the synergy that you need to fulfil the kingdom mandate upon your life in fulfilling purpose meaningfully, and that is, to ensure that from the rising of the sun to the going down, that all who comes through your way have opportunity to be filled with the knowledge and glory of God without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.  

Blessed regards.

GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS

GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS: GOD’S LOVE ENHANCES EARTHLY USEFULNESS AND HEAVENLY MINDEDNESS!  

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED] abroad in our HEARTS [SPIRIT-BEING] by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth His LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8. 

Talking about GOD’S LOVE! Here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we just have love, but we can go onward to LIVE in LOVE and to WALK in LOVE, with the knowing that LOVE is of God; and LOVE is the lubricant for our New Creation life in Christ Jesus, and for human relationships to all of mankind. Upon this knowledge and understanding, we can OCCUPY in the grace as Christ Ambassador in God, until He returns, by “BEING EARTHLY USEFUL and HEAVENLY MINDED”. 

“So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] ROOTED and [securely] GROUNDED in love, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the WIDTH and LENGTH and HEIGHT and DEPTH of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES [MERE] KNOWLEDGE [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the FULLNESS of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:17-19/Amplified. 

Love in scriptural perspective is an ATTITUDE, a deliberate and intentional choice, an exercise of the will, a choice of life, and it’s not just a mere feeling, it is an expression of the nature and personality of God. It is spiritual, divinely inspired and embedded in the very hearts of all God’s human creation, and more importantly in the very nature of the redeemed child of God. Hence, it’s not a doctrine, creed, or dogmas or tradition or sectarianism. It outlived generation because it’s timeless and it’s of God and God’s. For God is love as written: 

“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 . . . 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” 1 John 4:7–10, 16-18. 

And LOVE is the given blessedness of Father God by the Holy Spirit to the Believing one in Christ Jesus, and it’s a FRUIT and not a GIFT. FRUITS are GROWN while GIFTS are IMPARTED. Genuine Bible love – Agape – is born and it’s a product of the Holy Spirit that indwells in us in the grace – [Romans 5:5, 8; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9]. 

Let’s consider the love in diversity for a clearer understanding of the kind of love being implied in this context. 

DEFINING THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE: 

  1. PHILEO: Grk [of the soul] – Love relationship in family – between parent and child. The Family kind of love. It also embodied love relationship towards friends and colleagues. It means to be fond of; it is based on FEELINGS and not on PRINCIPLE. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is a human or natural kind of love. [Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21]. This kind of love is, however, essential and crucial for a family bonding and wellbeing. 
  2. EROS: Grk [of the Physical body] – Sexual love; purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s based on PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of PERVERSION in our societies today – and we are paying hugely for the consequences across the board. [Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20]. 
  3. AGAPE: Grk [of the spirit] – God kind of love; unconditional, limitless, divine, spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal [self] etc. 1 Corinthians 13. It’s built on PRINCIPLE. Agape love even helps to ensure, STRENGTHEN and MAINTAIN the Phileo and Eros kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is based on PRINCIPLE – be it towards things or people. 

Notably, the PHILEO OR EROS kinds of Love need to be controlled by AGAPE kind of love or else it will hinder our fellowship with God and lead to SIN acts. [E.g. EROS – 1 Corinthians 13:5; PHILEO – 1 Samuel 2:22-36]. 

Let’s not just say we have love, let’s LIVE and WALK IN LOVE, for love is of the Spirit – Romans 5:5. 

IT’S TIME TO LIVE AND WALK IN LOVE. LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN. FOR THE CHARGE IS TO OCCUPY IN GOD’S LOVE TILL HE COMES – FOR LOVE ENHANCES EARTHLY USEFULNESS AND HEAVENLY MINDEDNESS. 

Be blessed in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25. 

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” Ephesians 5:1-2. 

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

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23/NKJV  

“For the FRUIT of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth” Ephesians 5:9/NKJV.

MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD: BY ABOUNDING IN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE!

MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD: BY ABOUNDING IN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE! 

“But let us, who are of the day, be sober, PUTTING ON THE BREASTPLATE of FAITH and LOVE; and for AN HELMET, the HOPE of salvation” 1 Thessalonians 5:8. 

May your ENDEAVOURS to abound in FAITH, HOPE and LOVE, glow, be inflame and ablaze by the WORKING of your FAITH and may in all, your LABOUR of LOVE and PATIENCE in HOPE account for your good and goodness in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4. 

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, for LOVE is INEVITABLE in every way. Meaning, in order to inflame and ablaze your FAITH to GLOW in grace and life, the default of LOVE must be ensured and be assured to be actively engaged; for love is the hub or fulcrum for productive cause of faith with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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.

THE FAITH THAT WORKS

By Leave a Comment

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IS FOUNDED, ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST! 

“For [if we ARE] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and WORKING through LOVE” Galatians 5:6/Amplified. 

There’s no geographical location or situations that can stop or prevent your position and altitude in life when your FAITH WORKS BY LOVE.  

I know Faith as the mystery, the vital and legal currency and medium of exchange to access the heavens from the earth, and to give the heavenly permission in one’s earthly affairs. Yet you can only genuinely blossom, rejuvenate, thrive and colour your worlds anywhere and any day with God when your ‘FAITH WORKS BY LOVE’. Love is the only beautiful gift given to us by God that’s pure, to SERVE others without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. Simply because Love is the lubricant that makes and ensures FAITH for effective communication and enables us to be assured of being justified by faith and to have access by faith to our God in the grace. 

“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 5:13/Amplified. 

“LOVE is to be SINCERE and ACTIVE [the real thing—WITHOUT GUILE AND HYPOCRISY]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good. 10. Be DEVOTED to one another with [authentic] BROTHERLY AFFECTION [as members of one family], give preference to one another in honor” Romans 12:9-10/Amplified. 

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . 5 and hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED] abroad in our HEARTS [SPIRIT-BEING] by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:1-2. 

Be it in person and general relationship, family, ministry, charitable causes, career, business, marital relationship and governance, the FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE is inevitable, indescribable and inescapable for any that desire to THRIVE and not be a SURVIVAL. For love is the ultimate, hallmark, hub, fulcrum, the most and more excellent way to express spiritual grace and endowment in Life and GODLINESS with God in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, expressing ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE’, you can thrive and blossom in any weather of life: WINTER, AUTUMN, SPRING OR SUMMER. 

“The earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22. 

This I saw in God through Christ, that’s why I am assured and now recommend it to you and for you. I have come to know and understand today more than ever before of the graciousness and gracefulness and speed in motion when one exercise and express life through ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE’ in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. 

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.

“While the earth remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22. 

“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. 

“A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:34-35. 

“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 15:13-14. 

“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; 11 not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality” Romans 12:9-12.

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE: FOR YOU ARE GOD’S EMBASSY! 

“Now then we ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20. 

Whoever you are that’s reading this now, by the virtue of you being reborn of God in Christ Jesus stead, you ARE, [AND NOT WILL BE], Christ’s AMBASSADOR otherwise AN AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST in the grace. And the mandate to showcase GOD’S LOVE in Christ Jesus is in you as a default, knowingly or unknowingly. And you ARE not just God’s Diplomat only, but God’s EMBASSY, His EARTHLY residence, dwelling place, for you ARE the TEMPLE [TABERNACLE] of the Holy Spirit, God’s dwelling place in Christ Jesus stead [1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18]; and you ARE God’s shining City at the Hill top that outshines all darkness and through whom all in darkness might locate God’s love, with assured hope, to receive the light and enlightenment that God’s love gives to all in darkness, from the light of love that’s in you, in Christ Jesus stead [Matthew 5:14-16]. For you are a living EPISTLE, manifestly endowed with God’s love and grace, for God’s WORD dwells richly in you. THE WORD that’s in you gives you the illumination and enlightenment to outshine all darkness and the dark activities of the enemy and his cohorts. 

“Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2 Ye ARE our EPISTLE written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 3 forasmuch as ye are MANIFESTLY declared to be THE EPISTLE of Christ MINISTERED by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart” 2 Corinthians 3:1-3.                          

“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 anything 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” John 1:1-5. 

And being Christ’s Ambassador in love, indicates you are the living WITNESS and EPISTLES being seen and read of all men, to transmit the genuine LOVE of Christ Jesus, that SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS all reasoning for the good and goodness of all. And being an Ambassador of the love of God guarantees you to be filled with the fulness of God, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. 

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

You ARE God’s Diplomat, Don’t be MISTAKEN or be ERRONEOUS as Adam-Eve. You ARE the reason why the earth was created and made; and you ARE blessed and to be a blessing in it [Isaiah 45:11-13; Psalms 8:4-8; Psalms 116:6; Genesis 12:1-3; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14]. You ARE representing the heavens on the earthly affairs, and it’s your highest calling, and must be maximised while you are having the opportunity [1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12]. It’s up to you if you want to be a genuine ambassador for Christ Jesus in promoting God’s genuinely and unadulterated love, or you want to be that wicked ambassador who is prone to be unfaithful, unscriptural, adulterated and counterfeits camouflage as God’s love in Christ Jesus. 

“A WICKED MESSENGER falleth into mischief: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17. 

God’s intent is that through you, His embassy and city of light, shall true love be lavishly shed abroad [beyond walls] and without sentiments, prejudice, dissimulation [John 13:34-35; John 15:12-14; Romans 5:5-8], just as true prosperity be spread abroad [Psalms 35:27; Zechariah 1:17; Joshua 1:8]. And when you take your glorious high throne place of grace unselfishly in Christ love, others will be blessed [Jeremiah 17:12. Therefore, it’s time to ARISE, let it be for the good of others as being Christ’s ambassador of love to humanity. And the journey starts now from where you are into the ends of the earth as true witness of God’s love in Christ Jesus [Acts 1:8]. 

For you ARE God’s Diplomat, maximise it as being Christ’s ambassador in love, as you do life and live godly. 

Be blessed in the grace to love in Christ Jesus.

MONTH FEBRUARY – TRIUMPHING BY LOVE: THE LOVE THAT GIVES AND SERVES!

By Leave a Comment

MONTH FEBRUARY – TRIUMPHING BY LOVE: THE LOVE THAT GIVES AND SERVES! 

“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. 

Our God is LOVE. He’s LOVE in definition, which indicates, you can’t talk of LOVE outside the person who is LOVE personified and had lavishly showed His love to us by the Holy Spirit that He had given to us by virtue of our redemption in Christ Jesus. Amen. [1 John 4:8,16; Romans 5:5, 8; John 14:16-17; John 3:16]. 

When I heard decades ago, the Gospel of Christ that brought about my salvation in God, in Christ Jesus, in redemption, the first thing that crossed my mind then and now, by the Gospel I heard was this – that God LOVES me. That sticks and have never gone off me for any reason or matters irrespective of the ups and downs in the onward and upward trajectory of the Christian walk of faith in Christ Jesus. 

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, 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” Galatians 5:6, 13. 

And more so, to know that God in His terms to ensure and authenticate the love, He GAVE up Christ Jesus for my salvation in redemption, that I might be able to be JUSTIFIED and QUALIFIED, to receive the needed FREEDOM – LIBERTY, from the grips and bandages of SIN and its effects which are: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH; the freedom – liberty, from which I was denied because of the subjugates rule of the devil and cohorts, that makes me then, to be without God in this world. [Ephesians 2:1-22]. 

Reflecting now and then that the simple Gospel I heard to get saved by God in Christ Jesus, thus indicates that God LOVES me and GAVE up Jesus Christ for my salvation in redemption; and this knowing and understanding, have left a lasting effects on my life for over 50yrs plus by God’s enabling grace. Then and now and always, I know that genuinely pure love of God means a GIVING love, and not a love that goes demanding for the love in order to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. And it thus means that one can’t live the genuinely pure love life in grace and godliness, beyond the knowledge and understanding you know and have received of God in Christ Jesus on His personified nature of LOVE as He is LOVE. 

“And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles EXERCISE LORDSHIP OVER THEM, and those who EXERCISE AUTHORITY OVER THEM are called ‘BENEFACTORS.’ 26 But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is GREATEST among you, let him be as the YOUNGER, and he who GOVERNS as he who SERVES. 27 For who is GREATER, he who sits at the TABLE, or he who SERVES? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am AMONG YOU as the One who SERVES” Luke 22:25-27/NKJV [Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45]. 

And when I began to embark on the journey to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God through Christ Jesus (2 Peter 3:18), and for me to personally personify the knowing of Him as my Saviour and Lord – Jesus Christ, and to make Him known by same mutual knowledge and understanding, I then discovered that His entire coming to take the humanity nature [Hebrews 2:14-15; 1 Timothy 3:16; John 1:14], to work out my salvation in my redemption and yours and for all mankind, was simply through this – to SERVE – through the passionate acts of LOVE which He lives and demonstrated for us all to follow after Him. [John 13:1-17, 34-35; Luke 22:25-27 (Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45); John 15:9-16]. And to do this act of our redemption, the scripture says; He LOVED us. Meaning, He didn’t serve outside love to REDEEM us, He LOVED us as written: 

“John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5 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 1:4-6. 

And for our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ to ensure and authenticate that the GOSPEL being PREACHED remains same as He live in it and through it, He charged that the Believer’s in Him, should continue first and foremostly, to walk in His love with same Gospel love that loves through GIVING and SERVING others in His name – for by such many will turn toward the Father God in His name. [Ephesians 5:1-2; John 13:34-35; John 15:8-16; John 8:30-32]. 

Apostle Paul, with the gracious insights and foresights into the revelation of the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus, do charged the Ephesians Church in the Holy writ of [Acts 20:35], of the need to know that – it’s more of BLESSEDNESS to GIVE (be a GIVER) than to RECEIVE (be a RECEIVER); and Apostle Paul also wrote to the Galatians Church in the Holy writ in the context of – [Galatians 5:1, 6, 13], of the necessity to see that they don’t take their freedom – liberty in God in Christ Jesus for granted, but to ensure it and be assured that their faith in God in Christ Jesus is lubricated through LOVE and not by legalities of the religious dogmas and tradition and denominational indoctrination as per circumcision or no circumcision – and more importantly, to SERVE one another BY LOVE as in the Gospel that they have received of him in Christ Jesus stead. 

In redemption, we’ve obtained a glorious triumph on the cross by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For our Redemption is a done did as expressed in the Holy writs of [2 Corinthians 2:14 and Colossians 2:8-15]; this thus indicates an act of TRIUMPHING BY LOVE as expressed in GIVING His life for our justification, and in SERVING to ensure and assure that we can live TRIUMPHANTLY as we do live in humanity and live godly for the cause of advancing God’s kingdom and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay. 

I therefore challenge you and I today to be genuine follower of God in Christ Jesus, and WALK IN LOVE as He did for our example, through the act of GIVING and SERVING, and not of demanding and receiving or as an entitlement, if we must meaningfully fulfil purpose as enjoined in the Holy writ. [Ephesians 5:1-2; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12]. 

I do pray that you might be awaken in this writ for a gracious and graceful you in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, I sincerely welcome you to Month February, the month of TRIUMPHING BY LOVE that GIVES and SERVES without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. [Romans 12:9-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Matthew 5:38-48; Proverbs 16:7/Hebrews 11:6].

For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that SERVETH? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that SERVETH” Luke 22:25-27 [Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45].

MONTH FEBRUARY: THE FAITH THAT WORKS: EXPRESSES THROUGH LOVE! 

There’s no geographical location or situation that can stop your position and altitude in life when your Faith Works By Love. 

I know Faith as the mystery, the vital & legal currency, and the medium of exchange to access the heavens and to give the heavenly permission in one’s earthly affairs. Yet you can only genuinely blossom and colour your worlds anywhere and any day with God when your ‘Faith Works By Love’. 

Be it in relationship, family, ministry, charitable causes, career, business, marital and governance, the Faith That Works By Love is inevitable and inescapable. For love is the ultimate, a most and more excellent way to express spiritual grace and endowment. Hence expressing ‘The Faith That Works By Love’, you can thrive and blossom in any weather of life: Winter, Autumn, Spring or Summer. 

This I saw in God through Christ, that’s why I am assured and now recommend it to you and for you. I have come to know and understand today more than ever before of the graciousness and gracefulness and speed in motion when one exercises and expresses life through ‘The Faith That Works By Love’. 

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). 

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and Winter, and DAY and NIGHT shall not CEASE” Genesis 8:22. 

“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 15:13-15. 

“A NEW commandment I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:34-35. 

“Let LOVE be without HYPOCRISY. ABHOR what is EVIL. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly LOVE, in honour giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. 17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing, you will heap coals of fire on his head.” 21. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:9-21. NKJV. 

“If thine ENEMY be hungry, GIVE him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, GIVE him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22. 

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” Matthew 5:43-48.

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IS FOUNDED, ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST!

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IS FOUNDED, ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST! 

“For [if we ARE] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and WORKING through LOVE” Galatians 5:6/Amplified. 

There’s no geographical location or situation that can stop or prevent your position and altitude in life when your FAITH WORKS BY LOVE.  

I know Faith as the mystery, the vital and legal currency, and the medium of exchange to access the heavens from earth, and to give the heavenly permission in one’s earthly affairs. Yet you can only genuinely blossom, rejuvenate, thrive and colour your worlds anywhere and any day with God when your ‘FAITH WORKS BY LOVE’. Love is the only beautiful gift given to us by God that’s pure, to SERVE others without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. Simply because Love is the lubricant that makes and ensures FAITH for effective communication and enables us to be assured of being justified by faith and to have access by faith to our God in the grace. 

“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 5:13/Amplified. 

“LOVE is to be SINCERE and ACTIVE [the real thing—WITHOUT GUILE AND HYPOCRISY]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good. 10. Be DEVOTED to one another with [authentic] BROTHERLY AFFECTION [as members of one family], give preference to one another in honor” Romans 12:9-10/Amplified. 

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . 5 and hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED] abroad in our HEARTS [SPIRIT-BEING] by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:1-2. 

Be it in person and general relationship, family, ministry, charitable causes, career, business, marital relationship and governance, the FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE is inevitable, indescribable and inescapable for any that desire to THRIVE and not be a SURVIVAL. For love is the ultimate, hallmark, hub, fulcrum, the most and more excellent way to express spiritual grace and endowment in Life and GODLINESS with God in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, expressing ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE’, you can thrive and blossom in any weather of life: WINTER, AUTUMN, SPRING OR SUMMER. 

“The earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22. 

This I saw in God through Christ, that’s why I am assured and now recommend it to you and for you. I have come to know and understand today more than ever before of the graciousness and gracefulness and speed in motion when one exercise and express life through ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE’ in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

“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. 

“A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:34-35. 

“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 15:13-14. 

“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; 11 not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality” Romans 12:9-12.

WELCOME TO MONTH FEBRUARY: THE MONTH OF – “TRIUMPHING BY LOVE” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO MONTH FEBRUARY: THE MONTH OF – “TRIUMPHING BY LOVE” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“Be on guard; stand firm in your faith [in God, respecting His precepts and keeping your doctrine sound]. Act like [mature] men and be courageous; be strong. 14 LET EVERYTHING YOU DO BE DONE IN LOVE [motivated and inspired by God’s LOVE for us]” 1 Corinthians 16:13-14/Amplified 

It’s time to TRIUMPH by the LOVE that GIVES and SERVES, rather than by the LOVE that DEMANDS and RECEIVES and equally lives on ENTITLEMENT as a right on others. You need to know that it’s written in the Holy writ, that it’s more BLESSED for you and I to GIVE than to RECEIVE. Knowing full well that our Father God so LOVES us, that He GAVE, as a living demonstration that indicates the awesomeness, graciousness and gracefulness of genuine love. For a genuine LOVE is a GIVING love and a SERVING love unlike the selfish and self-centred love that’s of a demanding, receiving and entitling love – the love that limits one’s potential to do life and live godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. [Acts 20:35; John 3:16; Galatians 5:13]. 

My task this month is to challenge us in our intent by asking this question: 

  • How will you demonstrate and manifest the God kind of LOVE this Month FEBRUARY 2026 and onwards? 
  • Will you manifest, demonstrate, and ensure the LOVE that makes you a GIVER and SERVER of love humility, or will you be one whose love is expressed as a DEMANDER and RECEIVER with an ENTITLEMENT mentality? 

The choices of the onward and upward trajectory to thrive in TRIUMPH and in daily TRIUMPHANT living, is yours to make and determine if you will operate by the love of God that goes beyond PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. 

I strongly beckon on you to be awakened to THE LOVE of God that’s beyond human sensual reasoning – meaning, that SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS the flesh and senses of what you – see, smell, taste, feel or touch, and hear as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead [Ephesians 3:17-19]. It’s high time you WALKED IN THE LOVE that GIVES and SERVES rather than the love that belittles you knowingly and unknowingly by the act of demanding and receiving kinds of love mentality. 

We mustn’t forget that Jesus Christ, our saviour and Lord in humanity, left us lots of living examples to follow in His stead, to enable us live TRIUMPHANTLY as He did. Firstly, He loves His workers to the end – the Disciples (witness /witnesses) that turned Apostles (messenger/representatives) in the cause of time [John 13:1-2; 30-31]; He instructed us to love our enemies and pray for them in love irrespective- [Matthew 5:38-48]; He instructed us to live and walk in Love, that others may see us as His followers and living epistles of the Word, and thus seek after our God in Him – [John 13:1-2, 34-35; John 15:8-14]. What a profound legacy for us in humanity. That makes us inexcusable in every measure. 

It’s a high time that you begin a new journey of an onward and upward trajectory, to enable you to experience and walk in the LOVE of God, which is the hallmark and the more excellent way to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead triumphantly – and that’s by the – GIVING LOVE and SERVING LOVE – in Christ Jesus. Amen [Ephesians 5:1-2; 1 Corinthians 12:31]. 

Genuine love is about GIVING and SERVING others irrespectively. And it’s time to think and act differently in matters of God’s kind of love, which always is about the terms of – SERVICE or SERVING and GIVING. Thus, it indicates that whenever the word – LOVE – runs through your inner subconscious being, think and act – GIVING and SERVING and not DEMANDING and TAKING (RECEIVING) and ENTITLEMENT.  

The genuine TRIUMPHANT LOVE of God – DOESN’T DEMAND for LOVE; it instead, GIVES LOVE, SERVES LOVE – and by LOVE and in LOVE, it LOVES others irrespective. TRIUMPHANT LOVE is a LOVE GIVING and LOVE SERVING love by the act of LOVE in everything about all its operations in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 16:13-14; John 3:16; Ephesians 5:1-2]. And TRIUMPHING BY LOVE, is the MOST and MORE EXCELLENT WAY to live and do life with God together and with others in humanity, and under God’s kingdom causes, to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. [1 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13:1-13]. 

I pray that you come to know of a fact that it’s also possible you can be GIVING, SERVING and RENDERING services to others – [meaning it’s possible to give, serve and render services] WITHOUT LOVE, but you CAN’T be a carrier, representative and vessel of God’s genuine kingdom minded person that’s TRIUMPHING BY LOVE without being captivated with the GIVING, SERVING and RENDERING of the services in grace – [meaning you can’t love without being a giver, server, and renderer of services]. For the Love of God is more than just to give (giving) and to take (taking) as some may think in their concept of give and take world; but it’s purely in the GIVING as in [John 3:16; Acts 20:35]; and also in the SERVING as in [Galatians 5:13], as it’s written, it’s more BLESSED to GIVE in love than to RECEIVE; and to SERVE one another by love, in the grace, irrespective. [Acts 20:35; Galatians 5:6, 13]. 

Know also that, the scenario and idea of rendering CHARITY on CHARITABLE CAUSES can’t be attributed genuinely as God’s love or people’s loving others, simply because SERVICES attributed to love are rendered. People will do anything to fill up the statuesque of love, for their own selfish reasons – and sometimes it could be to probably avoid paying their shared taxes to the state in the name of doing charitable cause, thereby evade their responsibility and accountability, or for some, is to gain applaud and hypes opportunities for popularity from the vulnerable for political or position purposes, or for some to win and blindfolds someone else’s hearts for selfish gratifications in exchange, or for some to give them the enabling to control, manipulate, oppress and gain upper hands popularity over others, or for some and many such like – it’s the reason which is best known to the cause of such act to express their hypothetical, prejudice and sentimental and hypocritical act of giving and serving to indicate a dislike to others in their faces. 

However, when services [serving and giving] is genuine, and TRIUMPHING BY LOVE engineered, you see flawless and the gracious characteristics and concept wherein prejudice, sentiment and dissimulation are kept at bay intentionally and pragmatically for the good of all [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:8-15]. 

Make it your signature today that the hallmark and the more excellent way of ensuring in you TRIUMPHING BY LOVE is known through – GIVING and SERVING – the rendering SERVICE to others, in the love of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And to know that – God is love. And He wants us to live out His nature in full as Jesus Christ did in humanity. And that’s possible when we allow the Holy Spirit, the promised gift He gave us, to empower us to take charge and control of our realisation, bringing triumph to fruition through love, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Romans 5:5; John 14:16-17; 1 John 4:4, 6, 8, 16, 18]. 

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you will manifest and genuinely live TRIUMPHANTLY, thereby TRIUMPHING BY LOVE in everything, and everywhere, and every way, by God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, 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” Galatians 5:6, 13. 

“Be on guard; stand firm in your faith [in God, respecting His precepts and keeping your doctrine sound]. Act like [mature] men and be courageous; be strong. 14 LET EVERYTHING YOU DO BE DONE IN LOVE [motivated and inspired by God’s love for us]” 1 Corinthians 16:13-14/Amp.

For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that SERVETH? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that SERVETH” Luke 22:25-27 [Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45].
