THE GIVING OF THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBERANCE: KNOWING THAT YOUR WORK, LABOUR AND PATIENCE ARE NOT IN VAIN!

There is sufficient cause to remain steadfast, unmoveable and abounding in God’s Kingdom cause in your life in the Lord, as you keep on keeping, on the gracious and graceful kingdom rewarding purpose for you as written:

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye STEDFAST, UNMOVEABLE, always ABOUNDING in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your LABOUR is not in VAIN in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58.

There is the cause to always give THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBERANCE for the essence of three gracious and graceful acts in your life in the LORD and His Kingdom advancement. These are:

* The (Your) Work of Faith

* The (Your) Labor of Love

* The (Your) Patience of Hope

You need to give thanks to God always for you and others about you, as you take each passing day step, to advance the CAUSE of God’s Kingdom Business; and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay. It’s a gracious and graceful synergy to keep one focus as God’s ambassador and representative on this side of the heavenly in the midst of the challenging and difficult times.

Except otherwise, you then need to ponder about them and measure yourself in the light of the scripture if you are indeed standing sure on the gracious and graceful Kingdom acts of the Lord God. And wherein otherwise, awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its day when you need to work and walk in the grace that WORTH REMEMBERANCE. And knowing that every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord.

I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SOME SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“And now abideth FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is Love” 1 Corinthians 13:13 (Emphasis Mine).

“For God is not UNJUST (UNRIGHTEOUS, UNFAITHFUL) so as to forget your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in ministering to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to show the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] SLUGGISH (SLOTHFUL), but [will instead be] IMITATORS (FOLLOWERS) of those who through FAITH [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by PATIENT endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12 Amplified (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of UNBELIEF, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be HARDENED through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made PARTAKERS of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence STEDFAST unto the end; 15 while it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, HARDEN not your hearts, as in the provocation” Hebrews 3:7-15.

WHAT A DAY – WHAT A NIGHT OUT!

THE SAINT VALENTINE’S LOVE DAY: IT’S WORTH HAVING A LEISURE DATE – A TIME OUT FROM THE USUAL ALONE! 

I beg you, please COME DOWN from your SPIRITUAL MOUNT and be as Jesus for a moment. Jesus took it up to have LEISURE Date time out with His Disciples/Apostles in humanity. It serves great PURPOSE in Kingdom Causes. Mark 6:30-32.

I know the graciousness of having a LEISURE Date with my BELOVED once in a while just as of today. It’s an important factor to enhance and  bond one’s personal and relationship matters.

Give it a go at least once a Month as couples, it can change your perception and horizon, for onward and upward trajectory of life, in all aspects of relationship, in every way.

I PRAY you keep reigniting, refreshing, blossoming and rejuvenating your relationship in order to keep it alive and relevant in your given PURPOSE with God as a couple and in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

He feeds his flock among the lilies. 4 O MY LOVE, you are as BEAUTIFUL as Tirzah, LOVELY as Jerusalem, AWESOME (MAJESTIC) as an army with banners!” Songs of Solomon 6:2-4 NKJV (Emphasis Mine).

“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 (SECLUDED) PLACE by ship PRIVATELY” Mark 6:30-32.

“HUSBANDS, LOVE YOUR WIVES, EVEN AS CHRIST ALSO LOVED THE CHURCH, and gave himself for it . . . 28 SO OUGHT MEN TO LOVE THEIR WIVES as their own bodies. HE THAT LOVETH HIS WIFE LOVETH HIMSELF . . . 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular SO LOVE HIS WIFE EVEN AS HIMSELF; and the wife see that she reverence her husband” Ephesians 5:21-33.

“Like an APPLE tree among the trees of the woods, So is MY BELOVED among the sons.

I sat down in his SHADE with great delight, And his FRUIT was sweet to my taste. 4 HE BROUGHT ME TO THE BANQUETING HOUSE, AND HIS BANNER OVER ME WAS LOVE. 5 SUSTAIN me with cakes of raisins, REFRESH me with apples, FOR I AM LOVESICK” Songs of Solomon 2 3:-5.

The Genuine LOVE Is PURE And REFRESHING

The Genuine LOVE Is PURE And REFRESHING: It’s Called – AGAPE LOVE!

LOVE is a mystery but not mystical. For God is Love. God is a mystery and not mystical. His LOVE is practicable, liveable and loveable, for its EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to us.

Romans 5:5. And He’s a mystery to only them and those who don’t know Him in His Love. For He is LOVE and His LOVE is PURE, TRUE and REFRESHING.

And God’s LOVE is Beautiful, Unquestionable, Unspeakable, Incomprehensible and Indescribable; and it is a gracious and graceful GIFT, that is shared in our hearts by the Holy Spirit; and it’s GIVEN to us to SHARE alike in Christ Jesus stead. God’s LOVE is genuine and involves laying down one’s life for the other to keep it alive and refreshing.

When it comes to God’s LOVE in relationship and maritally, especially for the man, it’s gracious and graceful to know that MARRYING THE WOMAN YOU LOVE IS GOOD. BUT LOVING THE WOMAN YOU MARRIED, NOW, THAT IS SPECIAL AND AWESOME.

“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, FOUR WHICH I KNOW NOT: 19 the way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and THE WAY OF A MAN WITH A WOMAN” Proverbs 30:18-19.

“Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for LOVE IS STRONG AS DEATH; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. 7 MANY WATERS CANNOT QUENCH LOVE, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned” Songs of Solomon 8:6-7.

AND SOMEONE SAID:

“A HAPPY MAN MARRIES THE WOMAN HE LOVES. BUT A HAPPIER MAN LOVES THE WOMAN HE MARRIES” – Isaac Kubvoruno

And I Say this to you unreservedly:

LOVE – Is the BEAUTIFUL GIFT, giving to us to SHARE in grace. It’s about LOVING GOD FIRST, AND LOVING OTHERS IN HIS LOVE. More so, you need to keep on keeping on, dating again and again and again . . . the one you genuinely and truly LOVE to make your love refreshing,  liveable and practicable – for LOVE is the most EXCELLENT WAY, the gracious and graceful act in DOING LIFE TOGETHER in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The greater love of God  is the only genuine LOVE. It Is PURE and REFRESHING. It is AGAPE LOVE. It transcends and surpasses human SENSE and all comprehension.

Welcome I say to God’s kind of LOVE – the AGAPE LOVE, which is EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit of Love, through God’s WORD, in our human spirit.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“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. 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.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Behold, what MANNER (INCREDIBLE QUALITY) of LOVE the Father hath BESTOWED (LAVISHED) 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 (Emphasis Mine).

“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” Romans 5:5.

LET GOD’S LOVE – RULE AND REIGN IN YOU: THE LOVE OF GOD THAT TRANSCENDS, SURPASSES AND SUPERCEDES HUMAN SENSES – REASONING!

God’s love – The LOVE that GIVES lavishly and unconditionally from the heart and not the LOVE that DEMANDS by senses passion. (John 3:16; Romans 5:5-8)

“For this reason [grasping the greatness of this plan by which Jews and Gentiles are joined together in Christ] I bow my knees [in reverence] before the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ], 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth [a]derives its name [God—the first and ultimate Father]. 16 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 3:14-19.

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

By Leave a Comment

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Because of God’s love for us – He brought us to life with Christ – even when we were spiritually dead because of our sins.

What does it mean to love the Lord?

It is to keep His Word. (1 John 5:3)

Jesus Christ said that the evidence that you love Him will be seen in the way you obey what He commands you to do. (John 14:15)

This obedience can only come because of the presence of the Holy Spirit. You cannot do it apart from Him. As a child of God, He is with you and in you.

The Holy Spirit is the reason why you are able to love your neighbor or to feed your enemy – because He has poured His love into your hearts. (Romans 5:5)

Love one another. Faith works through love. True disciples live in and by love. Love transcends the senses. God is love.

THE DIVINE GOD OF LOVE: LOVE OF THE FIVE SENSES

By Leave a Comment

THE DIVINE GOD OF LOVE: LOVE OF THE FIVE SENSES – CAN’T FATHOM THE DIVINE GOD OF LOVE – NOR GOD’S KIND OF DIVINE LOVE!

There’s the need to KNOW The LOVE Of Christ Which SURPASSES, SUPERCEDES and TRANSCENDS SENSE Knowledge, if you must make sense of God’s default and personified divine LOVE. The divine love of God gives – it’s a GIVING love, meaning, it does not DEMAND to be love because the embodiment is love, and lavishly gives love unconditionally. And divine love is a COMMENDED love because of what Christ Jesus is done for our REDEMPTION in Him.

“For God so loved the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

“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”.

The FIVE SENSES love speaks of the NATURAL – SENSUAL man who operates by material sensory of FEELING/TOUCHING, TASTING, SMELLING, HEARING and SEEING, to make a concise conclusions in order to ensure its definition in love. It tends demand and fight to be love otherwise goes into a mood or mode of irreparable returns at some point.

This FIVE SENSES LOVE requires laboratory test of men for approval, and as such:

** It’s limited and

** It’s subject to change depending on the public poll of acceptance.

** It’s always awaiting all the time for the acknowledging and approval in – friendship, family, work and in places of governance, doing life and such like.

** It’s built of and on human selfishness even though it’s not easily acknowledge or spoken of as if it is or not.

** It’s based on conditionality in expression

** It’s based on sentiments in nearly all its intent.

And because the five senses love is natural and sensual, it can’t fathom the divine God of love nor God personified in His divine kind of love, hence – LAWS and RULES are made to regulate it with CHANGES in times to suit the human demand and supply.

And unfortunately, the SENSE love kind, could be deadly when not fully actualized, as many have been disappointed, derailed, depressed, suicidal and some even passed on untimely, when the expected expectations didn’t materialized and or come to fruition.

Divine Love is Good and is of God. And is lavishly given to all who comes to God in Christ Jesus by the Blessed Holy Spirit that dwells within a born again child of God. Romans 5:5-8.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Now we have RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. . . 14 But the NATURAL MAN receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED” 1 Corinthians 2:12, 14.

“. . . 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] (SENSE) 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 3:14-21. Amplified. Emphasis Mine.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have 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, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER [as a plan] for good for those who LOVE God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose” Romans 8:28. Amplified.

“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.

DEFINING LOVE IN GOD’S TERMS: GOD IS LOVE!

By Leave a Comment

DEFINING LOVE IN GOD’S TERMS: GOD IS LOVE!

Defining Love? Which Love? What kind of Love? How do you define genuine love? In your terms or God’s terms? The LOVE that’s WORTH pondering by you – is it the LOVE made and built of SENSE KNOWLEDGE or The Love born of REVELATION KNOWLEDGE?

HEREIN IS MY TAKE ON DEFINING LOVE:

** SENSE KNOWLEDGE LOVE:

This LOVE response to our senses – which is made of these FIVE senses: FEEL (Touch), SMELL, TASTE, SEE and HEAR. This is the realm where the VALENTINE love operates especially. This is where the natural instincts of carnality and humanity operates. It’s of the world, hence defines in terms, and it’s limited in every sense to meet the human quest. I wonder why many if not multitudes should wait for FEBRUARY 14 to genuinely express love to someone they care about. Is like waiting until Christmas to express goodness to those you care about. There’s nothing wrong in the common sense LOVE in essence in humanity if guided and guarded by God’s kind of love; only that, this sensual LOVE is body-ruled, full of  bundles of selfishness, more importantly, man-made – hence limited in all ramifications.

** REVELATION KNOWLEDGE LOVE:

This LOVE is of God. It is spiritual, meaning; it’s inspiring, revealing and empowering. It sensitizes the sense knowledge towards your natural and spiritual causes, and as such it expresses genuinely to all and more importantly to those you care about in day to day act of doing life and living godly. It does not wait for special occasions like VALENTINE or CHRISTMAS or BIRTHDAY and such like to express great heart-felt goodness. It’s boundless, intentional and reachable and available and applicable in circumstances toward God and mankind.

Therefore think before you go in debt for a one day or part-time kind of LOVE act that may end up in CARNALITY and at CROSS-FIRE afterwards.

Know full well today that – GOD IS LOVE. In other words, the DEFINITION of LOVE is – God. You can only DEFINE LOVE in God. And God’s Love which is in Christ Jesus, transcends, surpassed and supercedes human sense knowledge in every dimension. Until one knows and understands it, the struggles for genuine love will keep showing up; and the unnecessary asking of all sorts of questioning about LOVE and matters of LOVE.

As Believer in Christ, are you in love built on SENSE  knowledge or in REVELATION knowledge. For the revelation knowledge LOVE of God is spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and it’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which PASSETH (Transcends, Supercedes) KNOWLEDGE (Human Senses), that ye might be FILLED with ALL the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:19 (Emphasis Mine).

“Beloved, let us love one another: FOR LOVE IS OF GOD; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for GOD IS LOVE. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 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.
