GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD: THE MOMENT-DRIVEN LOVE-BASED Vs THE PURPOSE-DRIVEN LOVE-BASED PERSONALITIES!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Now before the Passover Feast, Jesus knew that His hour had come [and it was time] for Him to leave this world and return to the Father. Having\u00a0[greatly] LOVED\u00a0His OWN who were in the world, He LOVED them [and CONTINUOUSLY LOVES them with His PERFECT LOVE] to the END (eternally) . . . 34 I am giving you a NEW COMMANDMENT, that you LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Just as I have LOVED you, so you too are to LOVE one another. 35. By\u00a0this everyone will know that you ARE My DISCIPLES, if you have LOVE and UNSELFISH concern for one another”<\/i>\u00a0John 13:1, 34-35\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We live today in a world where LOVE is tested\u00a0daily,\u00a0and people are becoming impatient with each other in many\u00a0aspects of life\u00a0and\u00a0respect. Every relationship is being tested daily by the circumstances of life, and many in some cases can’t even give a chance for the other to process or let even process refine, refresh, rejuvenate and rekindle that relationship; it’s so bad in some cases that what they once believed and trusted to becoming that was substantial for greatness and goodness and happiness,\u00a0is\u00a0now let into the dish without a sense of remorse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can x-ray and see pains and hurts in business partnership or marital relationship or even friendship, that lots of once a love integration are falling apart in such measures that the level of hatred, anger, wrath, bitterness and such like that’s been exhibited and following the fallout will make you wonder if there was\u00a0\u00a0anything worthwhile at all\u00a0in\u00a0the beginning. But when you dissect and spiritually x-ray by the word through the Holy Spirit, you notice gracious signals but because of the\u00a0lack of understanding\u00a0of\u00a0purpose and process by either or both\u00a0parties,\u00a0it\u00a0has given\u00a0rise to bringing\u00a0down the house,\u00a0irrespective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And while the enemy and cohorts celebrate over the happened and happenings, the individuals are at depressed state of being, questioning the other person genuine faith and love instead of looking within the mirror of God’s Word and God’s love in Christ Jesus stead that ought to have helped them, but it wasn’t given the chance to make the respective become in their supposed becoming in the grace as set for them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“LOVE is to be SINCERE and ACTIVE [the real thing\u2014without GUILE and HYPOCRISY (SENTIMENTS, DISSIMULATION)]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another with [authentic] BROTHERLY affection [as members of one family], give preference to one another in honor; 11 never\u00a0lagging behind\u00a0in DILIGENCE; aglow in the Spirit, enthusiastically serving the Lord”\u00a0<\/i>Romans 12:9-11\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The Moment-driven Love-based” personality\u00a0is the one who is timed-based Believer’s in Christ Jesus;\u00a0that’s\u00a0the one\u00a0that’s\u00a0consumed to always have\u00a0an immediate answer and nothing else. And when something\u00a0isn’t\u00a0working for their only desired immediate results, he\/she will\u00a0start\u00a0looking for an alternative solution or escape route from the bonds\u00a0that’s\u00a0been\u00a0established\u00a0and requires a process to be matured for stability. As such one\u00a0can’t\u00a0build anything with such a person. Such a person hates\u00a0process. Such\u00a0person\u00a0does\u00a0not\u00a0want to cultivate and wait for the results through preparation, tilling, cultivating, and harvesting.\u00a0It’s\u00a0all about immediate results and nothing else. Such a person is always in a haste and when\u00a0there’s\u00a0nothing for them at their desired moment, they will shut off the other and\u00a0shut down\u00a0whatever obligations they are committed to and break all rules to achieve their wants of trinity: I, ME, MYSELF only.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“He who CULTIVATES his land will have plenty of bread,\u00a0But\u00a0he who follows worthless people and frivolous pursuits will have plenty of poverty. 20 A faithful (right-minded) man will abound with blessings,\u00a0but\u00a0he who HURRIES to be rich WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED [THE RESULT OF BREAKING THE LAW]. 21 To have regard for one person over another and to show favoritism is not good,\u00a0because\u00a0for a PIECE OF BREAD A MAN WILL TRANSGRESS. 22 He who has an EVIL and ENVIOUS eye HURRIES to be rich\u00a0And\u00a0does not know that poverty will come upon him”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 28:19-22\/Amplified\/Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike the “The Moment-driven Love-based” personality, “The Purpose-driven Love-based” personality\u00a0is\u00a0all out for longevity, willingness to walk and work through patience and give the processes time with all the needed environmental cultures to nature and nurture\u00a0until\u00a0the desired essence begins to\u00a0materialise\u00a0“The Purpose-driven Love-based” person will not get into short cuts or scam or fraud to get to the end results, because it’s intentional, pragmatic, resolved, knowing that to achieve that desired greatness and heights, it’s at a cost which is worthwhile the processing to get there.\u00a0Such a Believer\u00a0believed strongly that the PROCESS defines the outcome and not the outcome that defines\u00a0its\u00a0wholeness as\u00a0the “The Moment-driven Love-based”.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Purpose-driven Love-based” personality\u00a0it’s\u00a0the act of faith standing in the grace, on the God’s love in Christ Jesus stead, as themed for Month February to be our onward and upward trajectory in the grace. For its written in the Holy writ, that at the fulness of God’s process timeline for human redemption, Christ Jesus came into reality to fulfill purpose accordingly. It\u00a0wasn’t\u00a0an automatic quick fix microwave making for our redemption to become a reality as written. For through faith and patience, built on diligence,\u00a0that’s\u00a0how a\u00a0godly result\u00a0for a lasting effect\u00a0is\u00a0made possible in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. And\u00a0it’s\u00a0now time to restructure your faith in God’s love in Christ Jesus to be “The Purpose-driven Love-based”.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . 4 but when the FULNESS OF THE TIME was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 to REDEEM them that were under the law, that we might Receive the adoption of sons”<\/i>\u00a0Galatians 4:1-55.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But, beloved, we are PERSUADED better things of you, and things that ACCOMPANY SALVATION, though we thus speak. 10 For God is\u00a0not UNRIGHTEOUS\u00a0[UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] to forget your WORK and LABOUR OF LOVE, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we\u00a0desire\u00a0that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but followers of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 6:9-12.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you take time to read the book of\u00a0Isaiah 9:6-7 and Isaiah 7:14<\/b>, you will see and understand how God’s purpose and intent were planned for human redemption. His plan was for a Child to be BORN and to process that Child to become a Son, then to be GIVEN otherwise MADE ready,\u00a0therein\u00a0to die the sacrificial worthy death,\u00a0that’s\u00a0worthwhile for\u00a0mankind\u00a0redemption, in respects of the sin and sin effects. It took years of prophetic process for the Father’s LOVE for us to come to fruition, and yet it did, and today we celebrate daily His love that was at a cost.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For unto us a CHILD IS BORN, unto us A SON IS GIVEN: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7. Of\u00a0the increase of his government and\u00a0peace,\u00a0there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to\u00a0establish\u00a0it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even\u00a0forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform\u00a0this”<\/i>\u00a0Isaiah 9:6-7.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Therefore,\u00a0the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a SON, and shall call his name Immanuel”\u00a0<\/i>Isaiah 7:14.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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”<\/i>\u00a0John 3:16-18.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And God’s driven purposeful love\u00a0is\u00a0empowered by the Holy Spirit of love\u00a0that’s\u00a0given to us to do life and live godly in Him in Christ Jesus stead. This is to indicate that a believer in God in Christ Jesus is inexcusable for living and being a personality that’s Moment-driven Love-based in terms, instead of being a personality that’s Purpose-driven Love-based in terms as God did in Christ Jesus to extend His loving fellowship to us to enhance our relationship with Him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“If ye LOVE me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you\u00a0forever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the WORLD CANNOT receive, because it\u00a0seeth\u00a0Him not, neither\u00a0knoweth\u00a0Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you”<\/i>\u00a0John 14:15-17.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 5:5, 8.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 8:28.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“In Him also we have RECEIVED an INHERITANCE [a destiny\u2014we were claimed by God as His own], having been predestined (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the PURPOSE of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will”<\/i>\u00a0Ephesians 1:11\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,\u00a0Neither\u00a0have entered into the heart of man, The things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things,\u00a0yea, the DEEP THINGS of God”<\/i>\u00a01 Corinthians 2:9-10.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately today, in many acts of Marriages [marital relationships] or Business partnerships, Ministerial relationships and Other relationships of all sorts today, people are in real life confrontation and are cut ups with mixed partnerships, wherein one person comes into the marital\/relationship by a “Moment-driven Love-based” terms while the other comes with a “Purpose-driven Love-based” concept. And in a twinkling of time, there’s already a dissolution, a very big rift and drift by one while the other is willing to patiently work things through the process in order to blend and together gets to the expected results; and while one is not prepared to give that relationship a chance to stand, the other is doing all possible means for them to weather through the challenges times in order to become the becoming in terms. And except\u00a0there’s\u00a0a mutual understanding, it becomes impossible to get a headway to achieve the God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus stead as\u00a0it’s\u00a0written:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Can TWO\u00a0WALK\u00a0TOGETHER,\u00a0except\u00a0they\u00a0be\u00a0AGREED? 4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he\u00a0have\u00a0taken nothing?”<\/i>\u00a0Amos 3:3-4.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beloved in Christ Jesus that’s desiring to live by God’s Love in Christ Jesus, it’s important today that you think through with your partner in any forms of relationships you are into or about to\u00a0embark\u00a0into, if the he\/she\u00a0is\u00a0of a “Purpose-driven Love-based” personality or the he\/she is of a “Moment-driven Love-based” personality in terms. The earlier you resolve, then you can begin to run in your set purpose in the grace, otherwise, not reading the handwriting on the wall with utmost knowledge and understanding before running, will give the room to failure on the long run and it’s side effects may be very difficult to bear along with in time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the LORD answered me, and said, WRITE THE VISION, and MAKE IT PLAIN UPON TABLES, that HE MAY RUN THAT READETH IT. 3 For the VISION IS YET FOR AN APPOINTED TIME, but AT THE END IT SHALL SPEAK, and NOT LIE: THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT FOR IT; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is\u00a0lifted up\u00a0is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH”<\/i>\u00a0Habakkuk 2:1-4.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let God’s purpose driven love\u00a0rule\u00a0your being today by the Holy Spirit, so that you can become,\u00a0and in becoming you can be fulfilled in doing life and living godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Be a Purpose-driven, Love-based Believer, in Christ Jesus, no matter the process to becoming, for\u00a0therein\u00a0you can receive the blessedness of God in\u00a0grace and\u00a0be fulfilled in life and godly living.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Be blessed in\u00a0the grace. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved”<\/i>\u00a0John 3:16-17\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us . . . 8 But God demonstrates His own LOVE toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 5:5, 8\/NKJV.\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the FIRSTBORN\u00a0on\u00a0from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who LOVED us and WASHED us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has MADE us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen”<\/i>\u00a0Revelation 1:4-6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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 \u2014 19 to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST which passes knowledge; that you may be FILLED with all the FULLNESS of God”<\/i>\u00a0Ephesians 3:17-19\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“A new commandment I give to you, that you LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that you also LOVE one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My\u00a0disciples, if\u00a0you have LOVE for one another”<\/i>\u00a0John 13:34-35.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“As the Father LOVED Me, I also have loved you; abide in My\u00a0LOVE.\u00a010 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My\u00a0LOVE,\u00a0just as I have kept My Father\u2019s commandments and abide in His\u00a0LOVE.\u00a0[11] \u201cThese things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. 12 This is My commandment, that you LOVE one another as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater\u00a0LOVES\u00a0has no one than this, than to lay down one\u2019s life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you LOVE one another”<\/i>\u00a0John 15:9-17.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Let LOVE be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10. Be\u00a0kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly\u00a0LOVE;\u00a0in\u00a0honour\u00a0preferring one another”\u00a0<\/i>Romans 12:9-10.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not LOVE, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not LOVE, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not LOVE, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; LOVE does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8. LOVE\u00a0never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9. For\u00a0we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.13 And now abide faith, hope, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is love”<\/i>\u00a01 Corinthians 13:1-13\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
