YOUR PREPAREDNESS DEFINES YOUR CAPACITY TO LOVE: BE INTENTIONAL TO LOVE BY GOD’S LOVE!\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“But in your hearts REVERE Christ as Lord. Always be PREPARED to give an ANSWER to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with GENTLENESS and RESPECT”<\/i>\u00a01 Peter 3:15\/NIV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine getting married and getting into a relationship of any kind without\u00a0knowing of God’s Love in Christ Jesus stead for yourself. And if I may ask, how many scriptural faith-based books have you read for yourself in respect to knowledge and understanding of God’s LOVE to help you navigate any form of relationships you may want to embark upon or you are already involved with at this very moment.\u00a0It’s\u00a0high\u00a0time\u00a0we\u00a0looked\u00a0inward and took\u00a0Biblical mirror to examine such\u00a0relationships and see\u00a0if\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0being built on God’s love. GOD CAN ONLY COMMEND WHAT HE COMMISSION [COMMAND] IN HIS LOVE. Hence\u00a0there’s\u00a0the need to LOVE the WORD of GOD through God’s love in the grace\u00a0[1 John 5 :3]<\/b>. And you can’t drink your own medicine of assumed love and ask God to take responsibility and accountability for your making and happening, without taking any sense of repentance and assurance by you, to address your state of being, and for you to move in an onward and upward trajectory in making an intentional decision to pursue God’s love definition for good and goodness in the grace. JUST THINK ABOUT IT NOW.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But you must continue in the things which you have LEARNED and been ASSURED of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the HOLY SCRIPTURES , which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be COMPLETE, thoroughly EQUIPPED for every\u00a0GOOD work”<\/i>\u00a02 Timothy 3:14-17.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But be DOERS of the WORD, and not HEARERS only, DECEIVING yourselves. [23] For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man\u00a0observing\u00a0his natural face in a\u00a0MIRROR;\u00a024 for he\u00a0observes\u00a0himself, goes away, and\u00a0immediately\u00a0forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who\u00a0LOOKS into\u00a0the PERFECT law of LIBERTY and CONTINUES in\u00a0it, and\u00a0is not a FORGETFUL hearer but a DOER of the work, this one will be blessed6 in what he DOES”<\/i>\u00a0James 1:22-25\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Spiritual PREPAREDNESS to\u00a0a\u00a0divinely REVEALED cause is the\u00a0principal\u00a0path to enable you have an ANSWER to any QUEST you may want to embark upon in the journey of God’s love. And to help you\u00a0navigate\u00a0your relationship no matter what may, and the need to be intentional and armed gracious hearts as Jesus did as you don’t know what each day may bring and what each relationship may throw on you in respect: your spouse in marriage, family members, work colleagues, friends or strangers at work places of doing life and even in churches of worship and such like though not mentioned here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And in the morning, LONG BEFORE DAYLIGHT, He got up and went out to a DESERTED [SOLITARY] place, and there He PRAYED “<\/i>\u00a0Mark 1:35\/Amplified Classic Edition.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“So\u00a0all bore WITNESS to Him, and MARVELED at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of His MOUTH. And they said, \u201cIs this not Joseph\u2019s son?”<\/i>\u00a0Luke 4:22.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For being informed is to help you make your own informed decisions without sentiment,\u00a0prejudice\u00a0and dissimulation. Be PREPARED to be intentional to SEARCH and STUDY the SCRIPTURES as you do PRAYERS to\u00a0energise\u00a0and synergies your being in the grace. For God’s love is firstly godly, meaning\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0spiritual,\u00a0that’s\u00a0why it\u00a0can’t\u00a0be limited by any earthly factor. And God’s love is not limited by your geography and\u00a0colour\u00a0and religion.\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 from 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 [Revelation 5:9-10; Galatians 3:26-29]<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11. These\u00a0were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and SEARCHED the SCRIPTURES daily to find out whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed,\u00a0and also\u00a0not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men”<\/i>\u00a0Acts 17:10-12.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When God’s love is actively alive in you, know that you\u00a0can’t\u00a0just suddenly stop loving because of friction with whosoever, because God’s love makes all friction good, meaning makes all things to work together for good. If\u00a0you’ve\u00a0stopped\u00a0loving for any reason, it means you never had God’s love as a DEFAULT in the first place.\u00a0Do yourself a\u00a0favour\u00a0before you hurt\u00a0someone else: take a hard look within and conduct a spiritual\u00a0self-evaluation\u00a0and examination\u00a0–\u00a0it’s\u00a0worth it. You can make a\u00a0fresh\u00a0start\u00a0today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And we KNOW that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD to those who LOVE God, to those who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 8:28\/NKJV.\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u00a0can’t\u00a0offer what you\u00a0don’t\u00a0have, meaning what you have no knowledge and understand\u00a0about;\u00a0you will struggle to fully\u00a0comprehend\u00a0it to meet the quest of yours and other human hearts. If you lack the knowledge of God’s love in Christ Jesus stead, you will offer\u00a0nothing,\u00a0but derivatives love\u00a0that’s\u00a0built on the noise about you and you will be shallowed in your walk in God’s love in the grace. You need to crave earnestly to study to know the God kind of love that transcends and surpasses the five senses [see, hear, feel, smell and taste] definition of love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“That Christ may dwell in your HEARTS [SPIRIT-BEING] through faith; that you, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE\u00a0ve, 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 [TRANSCENDS, SURPASSES] KNOWLEDGE [HUMAN SENSES]; that you may be FILLED with all the FULLNESS of God”<\/i>\u00a0Ephesians 3 :17-19 NKJV.\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You need to study to know the love of God in Christ Jesus stead; and then in understanding the depth, the width, the height and breath, you can be grounded and rooted to do life and live godly in the grace by the Holy Spirit of love that’s given to us to explore and express God’s love intentionally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED [LAVISHED] out in our HEARTS [SPIRIT-BEING] by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 5:5.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is how much you are genuinely informed of God’s love that you can carry to fellowship and relate to others of your\u00a0God’s love in Christ Jesus stead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore I say TO you, get to KNOW, take time to own a study, then study to KNOW and UNDERSTAND on the materials available to YOU of love, through the Holy writ, otherwise the Holy Bible, in order to authenticate the truth of God’s love in Christ Jesus stead. You will be amazed how much you can\u00a0literally know\u00a0that will influence your perspective, context, concept and more, of God’s love embedded you in the grace when you approach the WORD in love as TRUTH.\u00a0[1 John 5:3].\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For it’s the TRUTH that you know and understand of God’s love that sets you free and gives you the enabling to express the genuine LOVE thereabouts in life and grace\u00a0[John 8:30-32; John 14:6]<\/b>; know today that it’s not the religion you’ve\u00a0imbibed\u00a0or the culture and traditions you are exposed with or the environment or tongue or religiosity you’ve fallen to, that gives you the definition and true meaning of love. For God is LOVE, and\u00a0there’s\u00a0no controversy before or now or will ever be. Your opinion is irrelevant to who God is in the matter of love.\u00a0[1 John 4:8, 16; 1 Timothy 3:16].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BE BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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

“STUDY and do your best to PRESENT yourself to God APPROVED, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ASHAMED, ACCURATELY handling and SKILLFULLY teaching the WORD of TRUTH”<\/i>\u00a02 Timothy 2:15\/Amplified Classic Edition.\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The horse is PREPARED for the day of battle, But DELIVERANCE and VICTORY belong to the Lord”\u00a0<\/i>Proverbs 21:31\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The PREPARATIONS of the heart belong to man, But the ANSWER of the tongue is from the Lord. 2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the spirits. 3. COMMIT\u00a0your works to the Lord,\u00a0And\u00a0your THOUGHTS will be ESTABLISHED\u00a0….\u00a09 A man\u2019s heart PLANS his way, But the Lord DIRECTS [ESTABLISHES] his STEPS”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 16:1-2, 9\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And they sang a NEW SONG, saying: \u201cYou are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have REDEEMED us to God by Your blood Out of every TRIBE and TONGUE and PEOPLE and NATION, 10 And have MADE US kings and priests to our God; And we shall REIGN on the earth”<\/i>\u00a0Revelation 5:9-10.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER slave nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female; for you are all ONE in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ\u2019s, then you are Abraham\u2019s seed, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE”<\/i>\u00a0Galatians 3:26-29.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFESTED in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit,\u00a0Seen\u00a0by angels, PREACHED among the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up in glory”\u00a0<\/i>1 Timothy 3:16.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
