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 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.

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

“That Christ may DWELL in your hearts by faith; that ye, BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH [TRANSCENDS] KNOWLEDGE [SENSES], that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/Emphasis Mine.

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

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

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

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE OF GOD is shed [lavished] abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN UNTO US. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ DIED for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8.

The Month DECEMBER 2024, as we all know, is the Month TWELVE (12) of the Julian and Gregorian Calendar Months. It happen to be the last in the numerical Monthly count of the yearly numbering. Besides this, there are other indications of the number TWELVE. Herein are few for your perusal:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“EMMANUEL! THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US”

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

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

God in humanity is JESUS in name; while CHRIST depicts Him as – the EMMANUEL, the MESSIAH, the SAVIOUR, the REDEEMER and the HOLY ONE of Israel for His cause on earth for human redemption.

We’ve been called into this FELLOWSHIP of GOD’S LOVE in Christ Jesus, so that we might enjoy God and the heavens RELATIONSHIP on earth again; so we can say that as “HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD” and can joyfully ask of HIS WILL to be done in our domain on this side of heaven call the earth, as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 1 John 4:17 and Matthew 6:10.

“Herein is our LOVE made perfect, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: because as HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD” 1 John 4:17.

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

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

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

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

Therefore today, as in this Month DECEMBER that prelude the CHRISTMAS season, let’s take advantage of the indwelling LOVE of God in EMMANUEL – JESUS the Christ, in order to enjoy continuously, God’s presence in FELLOWSHIP and in our path of life to keep us thriving, blossoming and glowing with His pleasures in life and godliness.

Therefore Today, THIS DAY, I pray that EMMANUEL – THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US – in the personal of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, comes to be in your life, in this Month DECEMBER, this season that prelude the Christmas, in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

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

MONTH NOVEMBER 2024: ENTITLED – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST”

By Leave a Comment

MONTH NOVEMBER 2024: ENTITLED – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST” – TO ENSURE OUR MORE THAN CONQUERORS POSITION OF GRACE!

It’s Month November 2024, 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 actualised the more than conquerors position of grace in our redemption, in all of life battles in the kingdom; hence I sincerely in grace, WELCOMED you to MONTH NOVEMBER 2024, 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 then to 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 elements of these battle’s, 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 defenceless. That’s why you can’t compromise your faith no matter what may. And our faith is inoperative, inactive and dysfunctional without love. For love is the lubricant upon which faith essence are 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 sets 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 tranquillity 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 take 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 the 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 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 unveils 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 the way 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.

WELCOME TO MONTH NOVEMBER 2024: THE MONTH ENTITLED – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST” – IN DOING LIFE AND LIVING GODLY CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

You are specifically and specially WELCOME TO MONTH NOVEMBER, it’s your Month of conquering and ensuring you are “more than conquerors” through love as it’s entitled: LOVE: THE CONQUEST! For conquering by LOVE: THE CONQUEST, makes doing life and living godly to become possible when you have come to . . . know the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus . . .  as it’s written:

“. . . 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts [human spirit] 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 passess [supercedes, transcends] knowledge [human sense], that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21/Emphasis Mine.

It’s time to take on the challenges of life from all angles using the “LOVE: THE CONQUEST” medicine to make it possible. For its only by conquering through “LOVE: The CONQUEST”, you can actualised a “more than conquerors” in redemption in all life battles as written:

“. . . 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

However, before exploring the Month theme – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST”, as you follow along through the months writs and post that you will be seeing and reading, let’s consider the terms of Month November in essence.

The month of NOVEMBER as any other DAWN months in the Julian and Gregorian calendar year, is crucial and important in the cause of the numbering of our days under the Sun, in order to fulfil PURPOSE by God, in Christ Jesus stead – [Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11]. And it thus re-echoes and reminds me as in other DAWN months, of some important matters and thoughts in the year as described in the settings being laid down below; and also, with the knowing that it’s God who makes things to be, in each passing days, weeks and months, and He is the one who crowns the year with His GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE, in all that pertains to doing LIFE and living GODLY by God in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:

“This is THE DAY [WEEK, MONTH, YEAR] which the Lord hath MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24/Emphasis Mine.

“Thou CROWNEST THE YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy paths DROP FATNESS (ABUNDANCE). 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/Emphasis Mine.

Therefore, my acronyms to month November, can be summed in these context:

FIRSTLY, that the month NOVEMBER is the eleventh and penultimate month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, the fourth and last of four months to have a length of 30 days and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. And it is the last month of fall in the Northern Hemisphere of the world while in the southern half, it is the last month of spring in count.

SECONDLY, that the month of NOVEMBER is the third of the four months with the “BER” endings – SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER. This signifies the eleventh hour month to the closing month of the year to usher in another DAWN year; and for me as an example, it helps me as matter of principle in diligence, prudence and productivity toward ensuring a meaningful and purposeful fulfilment in the closure of the dawn year by the eleventh hour month; and to evaluate what the year has been and what I need to make up that’s lacking within and without, in order to end up strong, stronger and strongly in the current dawn year; and to take stock of the outstanding testimonies in God’s graciousness, gracefulness and blessedness toward me in family, ministry and all I care about which includes you that’s reading this writ right now, in the course of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And THIRDLY, the Month NOVEMBER been the ELEVEN month of the year, it engages my thoughts toward engaging with benefits of the TEAM spirit, when you consider the ELEVEN PERSONS in the making of a FOOTBALL TEAM. Thus, indicating the needs to work together in with others, in a common purpose with a team spirit in order to achieve a common results as a team. This is important, irrespective of the quality of the personality of the individual player’s terms that is involved. The aim is to see the need to achieve results together and collectively as a team rather than as an individual lone person with innumerable opportunity of engaging with others.

Therefore, get set to conquering all matters of life challenges to ensure and be assured through month November theme entitled – “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.
