Welcome To Month FEBRUARY: Month Of ABOUNDING IN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE – “The Vitality of The WORK of FAITH, The PATIENCE of HOPE And The LABOUR of LOVE” 

Herein Are Few Tips To Take Along And Rejuvenate This Month! 

Be EMBOLDENED to DO something different this month from the Usual. Break through that FEAR of boredom and set patterns and methods. For God is not of METHODS but of PRINCIPLES. Therefore, 

  • Close the kitchen and take time out to have a special meal with family and possibly friends outside home or the usual. Take your spouse out for a different kind of date than the usual. Drive through a different route to and from Church, work or places of interest. Make new and different kinds of friends and interests. 
  • As a man, come down from your high horse position and COOK for your SPOUSE and FAMILY. Give the spouse, children and household a REASON to believe you are humane and have humanity in you to blend through life. Give them a sense of HUMILITY that EXALTS. I promise you, your spouse, children, and family will smile through that day with great loveliness and beauty. 
  • Break through the usual, refresh your laugh, close the church for a week and take members for a picnic and have leisure as Jesus did, you won’t lose them. Go for a sporting, boat ride or ship cruise were possible. Have humour and laughter. Take away pressure, and take time to rest, and have leisure at least. Life is WORTH living not surviving. Just have Life for once. 
  • Stop nursing enemies and unforgiving attitudes, and rather FEED your enemy, give them a DRINK, for when a man’s way PLEASE the Lord, He makes his enemy to be at peace with him. And you PLEASE the Lord God by FAITH – that is, ACTING on His WORD. Do you BELIEVE it, and can you DO it? 
  • Take someone NEW to EATERY and to the GROCERIES place for shopping and PAY the bills. Where possible give someone a home or shelter, mobility and such like. Look through your neighbourhood, there’s someone who deserves LOVE and CARE. 
  • Take Your Spouse out to a refreshing conference or seminar to boost, rejuvenate and synergise your marriage. Stop living in the old, stagnant place. It’s time to innovate, refresh, recreate, and become a better version of yourself, breaking free from the toxic boredom of dissatisfaction and stagnation. Give your RELATIONSHIP a new and refreshing BREATH of life.  
  • Live your life OUTSIDE the BOX this month. Make peace and apologise to those who hurt you, even if they were wrong, and give God something to work with. 
  • Resolve not to murmur, complain, nag, react, or blame, but instead take RESPONSIBILITY for once, at least this month. It’s time to speak kindly and wholesomely to everyone around you, again and again. 
  • DARE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT this month by giving a good portion of your time – whether an hour, a day, or even a couple of days – to lend a helping hand to someone in need through your skill, trade, or mentoring, without expecting payment or reward, especially to those who are less fortunate, unskilled, or limited by certain factors. 
  • You are a child of the NEW TESTAMENT – live your life beyond borders! Visit your Unchurched friends and share LOVE, HOPE, and FAITH with them. For once, let your heavenly-mindedness manifest in earthly goodness. 

Do all things in grace, and surely you will be blessed indeed. 

BREAK THROUGH YOUR FEARS – ESPECIALLY YOURSELF THIS MONTH: BE A DIFFERENT AMBASSADOR FROM THE USUAL. 

BE AN AMBASSADOR OF FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE! 

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8. 

“And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 31 And he said unto them, come ye yourselves APART into a DESERT PLACE, and REST a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no LEISURE so much as to EAT. 32 And they DEPARTED into a DESERT PLACE by ship privately” Mark 6:30-32.

HOLDING FORTH UNTO FAITH: FOR YOU ARE – “GOD’S BATTLE AXE & WEAPONS OF WAR

By Leave a Comment

HOLDING FORTH UNTO FAITH: FOR YOU ARE – “GOD’S BATTLE AXE & WEAPONS OF WAR”! 

“Thou art MY BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS OF WAR: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; 21 and with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider; 22 with thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid; 23 I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers” Jeremiah 51:20-23. 

There are LIFE BATTLES, knowingly or unknowingly. And these Life BATTLES are real to All. But the greatest of ALL life battles is the BATTLE of your FAITH in Christ. And there’s an ENEMY and COHORTS fighting daily, going to and fro, roaring aggressively and looking for any avenue and opportunity to devour you of your FAITH in Christ. You need to know full well that the ENEMY and COHORTS know that if they can get hold of your FAITH, EVERYTHING about you will be DEVOURED. 

Your FAITH in Christ Jesus’ stead is the VICTORY and TRIUMPH that overcomes the WORLD’S SYSTEM, which is run and controlled by the ENEMY and his COHORTS against your wellbeing in Christ Jesus. Hence when the ENEMY and his COHORTS roar or attacks you in its acts of operandi, you need to know and understand that its actual PRIMARY aim and objective are not after your MONEY, FAMILY, CAREER, RELATIONSHIP, BUSINESS, MINISTRY or SUCH LIKE. Its PRIMARY intent is that you GIVE UP and QUIT on your FAITH, for your FAITH is the ONLY divinely instilled DEFAULT and mechanism that OVERCOMES and ENACT your REDEMPTION in humanity, to live and do life in every way in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. 

Hence, we are enjoined to HOLD FAST to FAITH in order to FIGHT a GOOD FIGHT of FAITH in any life BATTLES. Therefore, BUILD UP your most Holy FAITH, as a way of PREPAREDNESS to life’s daily BATTLES, in order to SOAR IN DOMINION this year 2026. 

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. 9 But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]” 1 Peter 5:8-10 (Amplified). 

“The HORSE is PREPARED for the DAY of BATTLE, But deliverance and victory belong to the Lord” Proverbs 21:31. 

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR a GOOD WARFARE; 19 HOLDING FAITH, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning FAITH have made shipwreck: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20. 

“FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT of FAITH, lay HOLD on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12. 

“For everyone born of God is VICTORIOUS and OVERCOMES the world; and this is the VICTORY that has CONQUERED and OVERCOME the world—our [continuing, persistent] FAITH [in Jesus the Son of God]. 5 Who is the one who is VICTORIOUS and OVERCOMES the world? It is the one who believes and recognizes the fact that Jesus is the Son of God” 1 John 5:4-5 (Amplified). 

Further Scriptural Reading: Jeremiah 12:5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57-58; Romans 8:35-39.

WELCOME TO MONTH FEBRUARY: THE MONTH OF “BEING CHRISTLIKE IN LOVE’ – [BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE]! 

Now we’ve turned into Month February, the second month of the Gregorian and Julian calendars, wherein many are prone to be celebrating St Valentine, the priest of love. 

It’s my earnest PRAYERS for you in month February: “That you might KNOW THE LOVE of Christ Jesus, that surpasses and transcends, your human senses of reasoning and comprehension in doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen”. Ephesians 3:17-19.  

Kindly take time to ponder on the scriptural context here that I will be using in exhorting through the cause of the Month.  

Blessed regards. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON CONTEXT: 

“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. 

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

“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. 

“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. 

“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 . . . 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8. 

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of LOVE, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:7. 

“Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the LOVE of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me” Romans 15:30.

“For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in LOVE, and in the spirit of meekness?” 1 Corinthians 4:20-21.

LOVE DOES HEALS AND KEEPS ONE HEALTHILY ALIVE 

By Leave a Comment

LOVE DOES HEALS AND KEEPS ONE HEALTHILY ALIVE: APPLY THE LOVE MEDICINAL TODAY BY INCREASING THE DOSAGE! 

“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. 

“And from Jesus Christ, the FAITHFUL and trustworthy Witness, the Firstborn of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who [always] LOVES us and who [has once for all] FREED us [or WASHED us] from our sins by His own blood (His sacrificial death)— [Psalms 89:27] [6] and FORMED us into a KINGDOM [as His subjects], PRIESTS to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the power and the majesty and the dominion forever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6/Amplified [Exodus 19:6; Isaiah 61:6]. 

It’s high time you top up and increase your LOVE DOSAGE. God LOVES you – “. . . GO AND DO LIKEWISE” in every circumstances of doing life and living godly. That’s what our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in humanity told the self-righteous and self-justifying lawyer who questioned Him about the law, specifically the second commandment to love one’s neighbour, which fulfils the essence of the Ten commandments summed up into two as written. 

“And, behold, a CERTAIN LAWYER stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to INHERIT eternal life? 26 He said unto him, what is written in the law? how READEST thou? 27 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. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, willing to JUSTIFY himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? . . . . 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was NEIGHBOUR unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, AND DO THOU LIKEWISE” Luke 10:25-37. 

When you begin to love God in Christ Jesus stead, and love yourself in Him, and love others [neighbours] irrespective and without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation in every aspect of human relationships, you create a default for a healthy living – knowingly and unknowingly toward God and His Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit, and toward your humanity. 

“Let LOVE be WITHOUT DISSIMULATION [HYPOCRISY]. 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 12:9-10/Emphasis Mine. 

If you think you are struggling, top up your FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus with the love lubricant, and you will experience the graciousness and gracefulness of God’s BLESSEDNESS beyond your wildest imagination. And to top up, it’s by the indwelling Holy Spirit of God, by which our Father God has lavished His love in our hearts to love unreservedly, intentionally and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation in the grace wherein we stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED [LAVISHED] out in our HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us. 6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God DEMONSTRATES His own LOVE toward us, in that while WE WERE STILL SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8. 

“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. 

Living and walking in LOVE as God has loved us in Christ Jesus, is all we need earnestly now as a default in order to obtain the leverage over that mountain that tends to stop us in our path of living purposefully and gracefully in the FULNESS of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Be blessed in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS as you intentionally top up your LOVE dosage in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“But the END of ALL THINGS is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. 8 And ABOVE ALL THINGS have FERVENT LOVE for one another, for “LOVE will cover a MULTITUDE of SINS” 1 Peter 4:7-8. 

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and LENGTH and DEPTH and HEIGHT— 19 to KNOW THE LOVE of Christ which PASSES [TRANSCENDS] KNOWLEDGE [MERE SENSUAL KNOWLEDGE]; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/NKJV/MINE EMPHASIS. 

“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. 

“Let LOVE be without DISSIMULATION (HYPOCRISY). 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. 14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:9-21/Emphasis Mine. 

“And, behold, a CERTAIN LAWYER stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to INHERIT eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27 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. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, willing to JUSTIFY himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34 and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was NEIGHBOUR unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, AND DO THOU LIKEWISE” Luke 10:25-37.

MONTH NOVEMBER: ENTITLED – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST

By Leave a Comment

MONTH NOVEMBER: ENTITLED – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST” – TO ENSURE OUR MORE THAN CONQUERORS POSITION OF GRACE! 

It’s Month November, and month to kickstart conquering by LOVE: THE CONQUEST, the enabling to help us to ensure all things becomes possible in grace, as we do life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead; and this becomes inevitable when you “. . . KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS . . .” [Ephesians 3:17-19]; and it’s for you to know more so and full well, that it’s only by the act of LOVE: The CONQUEST, that you can actualise the more than conquerors position of grace in our redemption, in all of life battles in the kingdom; hence I sincerely in grace, WELCOME you to MONTH NOVEMBER, the month of conquering and ensuring you are more than conquerors through God’s kind of love, as entitled: “LOVE: THE CONQUEST!” and as written: 

“Who shall ever separate us from the LOVE of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 Just as it is written and forever remains written, “For Your sake we are put to death all day long; We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.” 37 Yet in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. 38 For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39/Amplified. 

The term CONQUEST is a noun and thus denotes the act of conquering, acquiring or gaining control – which results means: to takeover, gain acquisition, have an invasion and such like into another territory which could be human or things. And could also mean attaining success by mastering something difficult. And conquering makes one become a CONQUEROR. Conquest implies and connotes also a successful act to takeover or have domination in any sphere of doing life and living godly in the grace; thus, indicates that CONQUEST refers to the act of gaining control over a territory, people, or resources as may be applicable. 

And for the Believer’s in Christ Jesus stead, we know that we are constantly engaging and contending in a SPIRITUAL AND FLESHY WARFARE [1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Corinthians 10:3-6; Galatians 5:16-25] in our sphere of ensuring to do life and live godly in the grace. And each element of these battles, either in the flesh or spiritual, is about keeping to the status quo in the FIGHT OF OUR FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus stead [1 Timothy 6:12]. For the enemy and cohorts knows very well that if it can and able to break through our faith toward God in Christ Jesus, the rest about us will be neutralise with ease and defenseless. That’s why you can’t compromise your faith no matter what it may be. And our faith is inoperative, inactive, and dysfunctional without love. For love is the lubricant upon which faith’s essence is made possible. [Galatians 5:6) The enemy of faith is fear – and when love is your vehicle of CONQUEST, fear is dissimilated and vanquished, giving room for the good fight of faith that makes one a more than conquerors in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 1 John 4:17-18. 

While indicating “LOVE: The CONQUEST”, it’s for the Believer’s in Christ Jesus, to use the vehicle of love to conquer their life battles and challenges and circumstances – especially in every matters of sense knowledge, which indicates the matters of the flesh – by what you see, hear, feel [touch], taste and smell that tends to ruin us as individuals, in family, in society, in the world and from being as a decent human being to others through sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. [2 Corinthians 5:7]. 

Being able to exercise and enact the act of the conquest in the kingdom, is only possible when we KNOW THE LOVE of God in Christ Jesus; the love that surpasses, transcends, and supercedes the human sense knowledge to make us a more than conquerors. [Ephesians 3:17-19; Romans 8:35-39].  

For Love is a two-edged sword; and God is love: 

  • And one-sided act of the love depicts – The Father God of Love, who sent His only begotten Son Jesus Christ into the world for the cause to seek and to save us all from the sin bondage that we are held down by the enemy to do naturally, without being remorseful. And God in His love, by so doing, was and is using the act of love to set us free in His Son Jesus Christ, who eventually fulfilled that cause of love to redeem us to Father God in himself and therein we find peace and tranquility in our inner self. [John 3:16-18; Hebrews 4:12-13; Luke 19:10 (John 18:37; 1 John 3:8)]. 
  • The second-sided act of God’s love which is unfortunate, is that some will go to condemnation [damnation] and also struggle in life by the act of the enemy and cohorts of our faith in Christ Jesus, for their rejection of the love that God gives to us all, as an opportunity for freedom from the enemy and cohorts and to conquer all battle in life, in His grace, by faith in love. There’s therefore the need to know that in the matters of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus and in the kingdom, that conquering is only through – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST!” as Father God expressed in Christ Jesus [John 3:16-18; John 5:28-30; Romans 13:1-2; 2 Peter 2:1-10]. 

When the spirit of conquest through love takes holds of us in Christ, that’s when the mantle and essence of being a more than conqueror becomes a reality in Christ Jesus. Then we can be emboldened not to fear but to stand tall in the faith, our shoulders high, our head up and on the high heels of the faith that gives victory and makes us overcomers. [Romans 8:37 (32-39); 1 John 4:16-18; 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 John 5:3-5]. 

And when we make God’s love our conquest tool in the fight of faith, our purpose of God in Christ Jesus stead is enacted, and God in His grace, will then reveal and unveil the mystery of His will that’s particular to you unhindered [Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:19-12; 1 Corinthians 2:8-10]. 

God’s kind of love is the conquest to deal with hatred, unforgiven spirit, resentfulness, bitterness, wrath, rancour and such like, if you want Him to both hear [listen] and answer your PRAYERS [Psalms 65:2; Mark 11:24-26; Romans 12:9-21; 1 Corinthians 13; Psalms 65:2; Matthews 6:38-48]. 

So, in this month November, as God helps me to unveil the mystery of love in our dealings of life matters – in relationships [Ephesians 5:21-33], in family [Ephesians 6:1-4; Colossians 3:18-21], in leadership and work spaces [Ephesians 6:5-9; Colossians 3:22-4:1], in the Ministry of the Gospel [Ephesians 4:11-16; Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13], in dealing with strangers and neighbours [Luke 10:25-37]; in dealings with our so-called enemies and cohorts [Proverbs 25:21-22; Romans 12:19-21; Matthew 5:43-48], and other such like as per our relationship with God [Romans 8:28; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10] – be prepared to know that these are the ways through to life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

I pray that you may know the love of God in Christ Jesus stead, that’s given and bestowed upon us and to help us by the Holy Spirit of promise [Romans 5:5], to enable us do life with God and man, and to become all we ought to be in purpose and be fulfilled meaningfully in the grace ensuring – LOVE: THE CONQUEST!  

Blessed regards. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“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 4:16, 18. 

“Behold, what manner of LOVE the Father hath BESTOWED upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not” 1 John 3:1. 

“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. 

“. . . 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 8:32-39. 

“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. 

“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. 

“Hatred stirs up strife, But LOVE covers and overwhelms all transgressions [forgiving and overlooking another’s faults]” Proverbs 10:12/Amplified. 

“Above all, have FERVENT and UNFAILING LOVE for one another, because LOVE covers a multitude of sins [it overlooks unkindness and unselfishly seeks the best for others]” 1 Peter 4:8/Amplified. 

“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. 

“Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9. 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 15:12-14. 

“Some, it is true, are [actually] preaching Christ out of envy and rivalry [toward me—for no better reason than a competitive spirit or misguided ambition], but others out of goodwill and a loyal spirit [toward me]. 16 The latter [preach Christ] out of LOVE, because they know that I have been put here [by God on purpose] for the defense of the gospel; 17 but the former preach Christ [insincerely] out of selfish ambition [just self-promotion], thinking that they are causing me distress in my imprisonment. 18 What then [does it matter? So long as in every way, whether in pretense [for self-promotion] or in all honesty [to spread the truth], Christ is being preached; and in this I rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You Do OWE In All – NOTHING But LOVE

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You Do OWE In All – NOTHING But LOVE – And To See LOVE As An Inescapable And Supreme Obligation Without Prejudice! 

“OWE no one ANYTHING except to LOVE one another, for he who LOVES another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all SUMMED up in this saying, namely, “You shall LOVE your neighbor as yourself.” 10 LOVE does no harm to a neighbor; therefore LOVE is the FULFILLMENT of the law” Romans 13:8-10. 

God’s LOVE is a beautiful gift we are given to share with each other and beyond borders. And this act of God’s love is the best and only way to serve God and the brethren in the grace. That’s when the Father’s hearts is known that we are His disciples indeed as it’s written: 

“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 5:13. 

Jesus instructed the disciples to love, for by such measures the world can distinguish them as His people and disciples. How much is that most needed and relevant today in our walk of grace as written: 

“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’s take on God’s word in love, and without reservation, to OWE one another nothing else in comparison to this gracious love given to us to share as written, and then live in the FULLNESS of it as the true disciples [followers], of the Father God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Romans 13:8-10].

“Let LOVE BE WITHOUT DISSIMULATION (DISCRIMINATION, PREJUDICE, HYPOCRISY). 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. 14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 RECOMPENSE to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine ENEMY hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:9-21. 

“Beloved, let us LOVE ONE ANOTHER: for love is of God; and everyone 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 Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You Do TREASURE The WORD Of God – In LOVE! 

“O how LOVE I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 98 Thou through thy COMMANDMENTS [WORDS] hast MADE ME WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me” Psalms 119:97-98/Emphasis Mine. 

When God’s word in love, becomes a command and not just an advice to determine and define your life, you fear and feel no evil in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. [Ecclesiastes 8:5; 1 John 4:17-18]. Love is the antidote to silence the presence of fear by the word. For where Love is operational, faith is at work. [Galatians 5:6, 13; 2 Timothy 1:7]. I welcome you to treasure God’s word in love as we are enjoined to do in 1 John 5:3. Let’s keep and do God’s Word in love, for God’s Word is not irksome, burdensome, taskmaster, enslaving and grievous by any means.  

“Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who LOVES Him who begot also LOVES Him who is begotten of Him. 2 By this we know that we LOVE the children of God, when we LOVE God and KEEP His COMMANDMENTS [WORDS]. 3 For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep His COMMANDMENTS [WORDS]. And His COMMANDMENTS [WORDS] are not BURDENSOME [GRIEVOUS, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER, ENSLAVING]” 1 John 5:1-3/Emphasis Mine. 

Treasuring Gods WORD in love will give you the faith leverage to overcome and triumph, and have dominion, to have victory and be more than conqueror, over the world system, and be assured with God’s enabling to thrive in life and grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 John 5:4-5, 1 Corinthians 15:57; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Romans 8:35-39]. 

Be Blessed in the word by love.

RESENTMENT 

By Leave a Comment

RESENTMENT – The Beautiful And Colourful Lesson Learnt From My Wife: To LOVE And PRAY For Those Whom – You Tend To RESENT And Who RESENT You! 

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at peace with him” Proverbs 16:7. 

“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. 

RESENTMENT is BITTER INDIGNATION at having been TREATED UNFAIRLY and BADLY; and it’s a mixture of DISAPPOINTMENT, ANGER, WRATH and FEAR. It comprises the three basic emotions of DISGUST, SADNESS and SURPRISE – the PERCEPTION of INJUSTICE.  

If you must live COLOURFUL, FREE, PEACEFUL and ENJOY the FULNESS of Christ REDEMPTION for you, you must CULTIVATE the acts to LOVE, and to PRAY for the one you tend to RESENT and the one who is RESENTING you. It is the gracious, beautiful and colourful lesson heard and learnt from my wife years ago to deal with human DIFFERENCE and INDIFFERENCE. And it CERTAINLY has worked and keep working for all who have been COUNSELLED along it, in dealing with various matters of life in human relationships: Family, Spouses, Friends, Workplace Colleagues, Leadership, Gospel Ministry and such like. 

I can boldly affirm that it works because Christ Jesus on one of His SERMONS ON THE MOUNT TEACHINGS made similar statements to us of LOVING, RELATING and PRAYING for our ENEMIES and those who DESPITEFULLY mistreat us in every respect of doing life and godly living. [Matthew 5:38-48]. 

The best way to OVERCOME and TRIUMPH in beauty and colour over RESENTMENT is to LOVE, and to PRAY for the one you ARE RESENTING or RESENTING you. For you can’t be ABLE to RESENT the PERSON you LOVE and you are PRAYING for and about without expecting results except you are playing and unserious – and especially if you truly want and BELIEVE and EXPECT God to ANSWER such PRAYERS of yours, except you are making a mockery of yourself before God because God cannot be mock [Galatians 6:7-10]; and in the same similarity, you will ALWAYS RESENT the PERSON you DON’T see the NEED to PRAY for, much else to LOVE as the Scriptures earnestly do requires and do put a demand on us to love, in order to be the God’s genuine DISCIPLE, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [John 13:34-35; John 15:12-14]. 

Therefore, SET YOURSELF FREE WITH LOVE AND PRAYER – It’s the ANTIDOTE to RESENTMENT. Give it a goal to do today, you will witness peace and joy indescribable and incomprehensible, both for yourself and for the good of all, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Romans 5:5-11]. 

Set yourself FREE with LOVE and PRAYER – it’s the ANTIDOTE to RESENTMENT, at least for your own innermost peace and quietness. Give it a goal today you will witness peace and joy indescribable for yourself. I pray you know and understand that LOVE and PRAYERS will work for you to deal with RESENTMENT today and always. 

You need to PLEASE God to make your enemy and cohorts to be at PEACE with you [Proverbs 16:7]. And you can only PLEASE God by FAITH [Hebrews 11:6]. And FAITH only WORKS by LOVE [Galatians 5:6, 13]. And the God’s LOVE is without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation – and it’s the antidotes to deal with enemy and cohorts Scripturally [Romans 12:9-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Matthew 5:36-48]. Hence, you can deal with resentment at the form Scripturally as laid out in the context of discussion if you want solutions God’s way and path and not your self-seeking way and path. 

And BLESSED regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS as you BEGIN to enjoy the needed and resultant PEACE born for acting DIFFERENCE instead of INDIFFERENCE from the norm – “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth’ – the golden rule.

“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 (Complete, Whole, Mature), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT (Complete, Whole, Mature)” Matthew 5:43-47 (Emphasis Mine). 

“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. 

“Dearly beloved, AVENGE not yourselves, but rather GIVE place unto WRATH: for it is written, VENGEANCE is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine ENEMY hunger, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:19-21. 

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 for the WRATH of man WORKETH not the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God” James 1:19-20. 

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at peace with him” Proverbs 16:7. 

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

EXPRESSING LIFE BY LOVE: FOR LOVE IS THE GREATEST

EXPRESSING LIFE BY LOVE: FOR LOVE IS THE GREATEST – THE MORE AND MOST EXCELLENT WAY TO DO LIFE AND LIVE GODLY! 

“But COVET EARNESTLY THE BEST GIFTS: and yet shew I unto you A MORE EXCELLENT WAY… “ 1 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13. 

What an awesome BLESSEDNESS, the hearing of Jesus saying now and always – “GO AND DO LIKEWISE” – meaning GO expressing LIFE through the EYES of LOVE and CARE; this is even when you are too busy – because as His set standard, if you are truly going to be His Disciple – love like Jesus. In other words – DON’T BE SO HEAVENLY MINDED [MINDFUL] and of NO EARTHLY GOOD – that’s the message to ALL in Luke 10:25-37 of the good Samaritan. Let nothing comes in between you with the distinction of persons as the following did to the Samaritans by their indifference through sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation: 

  1.  The PRIEST [Leadership] 
  2. The LEVITES [Leadership Associate/Assistants] 
  3. And YOU [In and of any Capacity (Position, status)]. 

Now know henceforth, that Jesus was and is endorsing the need of the hour and moment for all times, of LOVING and LIVING BEYOND WALLS and BOUNDARIES of – Creed, Colour, Tradition, Denomination, Culture, Tongue, Believe/Faith, Nations and more as in our redemption: 

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED US to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10. 

“Christ hath REDEEMED US from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew NOR Greek, there is NEITHER bond NOR free, there is NEITHER male NOR female: for ye ARE ALL ONE in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29. 

For ALL humans are God’s irrespective of geography, colour, gender, tongue and looks and believe and such like, even as written but not limited in these further Scriptures: Acts 17:24-28; Galatians 5:6, 13; Galatians 6:14-15/2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 10:11-13; John 13:34-35; John 15:13-14; 1 John 3-5:3. 

Therefore – “GO AND DO LIKEWISE” – Jesus said to ALL. Do this by expressing LIFE through LOVE and CARE even when you are too busy – for therein is God working out His PURPOSE in you and through you in His grace. 

MAY YOU BE BLESSED IN GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS AS YOU “GO AND DO LIKEWISE” IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

“But covet EARNESTLY THE BEST GIFTS: and yet shew I unto you A MORE EXCELLENT WAY. . “ 1 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13. 

“And behold, a certain LAWYER stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, WHAT SHALL I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE? 26 He said unto him, what is written in the law? how READEST thou? 27 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. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: THIS DO, AND THOU SHALT LIVE. 29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, AND WHO IS MY NEIGHBOUR? 30 And Jesus answering said, A CERTAIN MAN went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, AND FELL AMONG THIEVES, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him HALF DEAD. 31 And by chance there came down a CERTAIN PRIEST that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 And likewise A LEVITE, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a CERTAIN SAMARITAN, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had COMPASSION on him, 34 and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, TAKE CARE OF HIM; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was NEIGHBOUR unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, AND DO THOU LIKEWISE” Luke 10:25-37. 

“The God who CREATED the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who gives to ALL [people] LIFE and BREATH and ALL THINGS. 26 And He MADE from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having DETERMINED their appointed TIMES and the BOUNDARIES of their LANDS and TERRITORIES. 27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28 FOR IN HIM WE LIVE and MOVE and EXIST [that is, in Him we actually HAVE OUR BEING], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘FOR WE ALSO ARE HIS CHILDREN” Acts 17:24-28 Amplified.

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT: FORGIVENESS AND FORGETFULNESS – MADE POSSIBLE IN THE JUSTIFICATION OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD – IN OUR REDEMPTION! 

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, He MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7. 

Are you struggling to FORGIVE and FORGET? Are you one of those who CAN FORGIVE but who CAN’T FORGET or who CAN’T FORGIVE and CAN’T FORGET? Do you still go FISHING the PAST to hunt and hurt the PRESENT? I mean cutting your nose to spite on your face? Do you want to live WHOLE again from bitterness, anger, wrath, revenge, rancour and such like more? There’s hope in REDEMPTION. You can POSSESS your WHOLENESS in Redemption again; For it’s all MADE possible in OUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in CHRIST JESUS stead. AMEN. 

In today’s society – individuals, families, businesses, communities, and nations, government and governance are being ruined  every day in every way because of the inability to FORGIVE and FORGET; and to move FORWARD, which is ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in God’s given grace to succeed. 

The ability to forgive YOURSELF, forgive OTHERS and accept GOD’S forgiveness will guarantee you the graciousness and gracefulness to live WHOLE in FORGETFULNESS and become free from the cancerous monster of BITTERNESS, RANCOUR, REVENGE, WRATH, WICKEDNESS and such likes. You can set yourself FREE from nursing and living on the hurt, through God’s unconditional LOVE that surpasses and transcends human comprehension and understanding as displayed in Christ Jesus LOVE stead that’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. You can then take the step of love in faith to INTENTIONALLY and PRAGMATICALLY hand over the hurt and hunt of not forgiving and not forgetting to God in Christ Jesus, who has justified all including you in love. This is the path way to deal with spirit of not forgiving and forgetting – and this is applicable to all, in all matter of doing life and living godly in the context by the scripture, and not according to our own wish or intention that results in revenge, evil and wickedness. 

“May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], [17] so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in LOVE, [18] be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; [19] and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES [mere] 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 3:16-19/Amplified. 

“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 4:18. 

I make bold to say that to be WHOLE in spirit, soul and body, the antidote to forgive and forget with ease, is to let JUSTIFICATION in God’s love in Christ Jesus play the means and definitional route and role in all forms of FORGIVENESS. That’s the gateway to FORGETFULNESS in moving FORWARD – that is, ONWARDS and UPWARDS on what God DID in Christ Jesus for us all to be WHOLE again in Him. 

“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” Romans 5:1-2. 

He did not only FORGIVES us IN our sins and shortfalls of evils and wickedness and more, but JUSTIFIED us, which is an antidote, so that we CAN now access Him in our UPWARDS, INWARDS and ONWARDS day to day life of grace. 

To JUSTIFY is to declare you guiltless, discharge and free, that is, to be ACQUITTED, as if you’ve never done what you’ve been accused of or have done. This is what God accomplished by using the eternal DONE DEED DID of Christ in our REDEMPTION; to set us free with NO FISHING NET of REMEMBRANCE attached; in order to erase our PAST, wherein our iniquity has been buried in the sea of FORGETFULNESS. 

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19. 

Hence to say that the New Creation in Christ has no PAST. And when you act in same like spirit towards others, you will live free of BITTERNESS, ANGER, WRATH, FEAR, WORRY, REVENGE and such like the more; otherwise it hunts and hurts as a cancerous disease on the one who refuses to both FORGIVE and FORGET. 

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT – FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS IS POSSIBLE IN REDEMPTION! 

I pray that God’s grace and blessings be upon you in this light. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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” Romans 5:1-2. 

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19. 

“Therefore if ANY man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE (CREATION): old things are PASSED away; behold, all things are BECOME NEW. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, RECONCILING the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 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. 21 For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who KNEW no sin; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. 

“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. 

“Therefore if thine ENEMY hunger, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil, but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:20-21. 

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH: 39 but I SAY unto you, THAT YE RESIST NOT EVIL: but whosoever shall SMITE thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43 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 5:38-48. 

“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 4:18. 

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

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