TAKING THE STOCK OF YOUR LIFE ON GOD’S WORD BY LOVE

TAKING THE STOCK OF YOUR LIFE ON GOD’S WORD BY LOVE: AND LOVING TO DO GOD’S WORD BY LOVE AND NOT AS A BURDEN – THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN LIFE AND GRACE! 

“By this we know that we LOVE the children of God, when we LOVE God and keep His commandments. 3 For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP His COMMANDMENTS. And His commandments are not BURDENSOME (GRIEVOUS, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER, TROUBLESOME, HARD, DIFFICULT) 1 John 5:2-3/Emphasis Mine. 

Do you always take stock on your obedience to God’s WORD? Do you DO God’s WORD in LOVE? If Yes -that’s GREAT and COMMENDABLE. But here’s the essence of the questions: To LOVE doing and to keep DOING God’s WORD of command in LOVE is the hallmark of doing the WORD effectually, efficiently, effortlessly, selflessly, and without sweat or guilt. More so, when we remember this principle: God’s WORD is not GRIEVOUS, IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, A TASKMASTER, TROUBLESOME, HARD or DIFFICULT to practice – when we approach it with a spirited and heartfelt act of LOVE. I can boldly say to you today: DOING God’s WORD in LOVE makes all the difference in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. 

It must be noted that God is not a taskmaster. Hence, His COMMANDS are not an ADVICE – they are genuine, faithful, true, sure, real and empowering. He will always COMMEND what He COMMANDS when it is obediently taken and done in LOVE. And God’s intent is always for our good – to help us and to give us leverage in our godly living and in doing life in all circumstances. And when we are LOVING by God’s WORD, life becomes liveable, loveable, reachable, and enjoyable in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“For I know the PLANS and THOUGHTS that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘PLANS for PEACE and WELL-BEING and NOT FOR DISASTER, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE. 12 Then you will CALL on Me and you will come and PRAY to Me, and I will HEAR [your voice] and I will LISTEN to you” Jeremiah 29:11-12 Amplified. 

A WILLING and OBEDIENT heart of LOVE toward God’s WORD, is all it takes to eat the good of the Kingdom. This is very possible: 

  • When LOVE and LOVING is not done with a DUTY heart – as if God is a TASKMASTER. 
  • When you KNOW that God has not TASKED you or MASTERED you in LOVE to tempt you with an obligation, He knows is impossible for you and anyone to do. 
  • When you understand that God is not out to see you FAIL in LOVE, just so He punish you to satisfy Himself well and good. 

Therefore, taking STOCK on God’s WORD in LOVE, and LOVING to DO God’s WORD in LOVE – should not be seen as a BURDEN. It is God’s avenue of grace for your good. Because it is in the DOING, in LOVE, that MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE for an EFFECTUAL and EFFICIENT walk with God in doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

If God demands your FINANCE, TIME, TALENT/SKILL, and whatever He requires of you for His Kingdom cause – and to keep the enemy at bay – it is WORTH doing it in LOVE for God and His work on earth, rather than doing it as an obligation and duty in fear. Even in matters of NECESSITY, as Apostle Paul would say concerning the call of God upon His life – still do it in love and not in fear of bondage. For PERFECT LOVE casts out FEAR and PHOBIAS. Let God’s LOVE rule and reign supreme in your world, as it is in His world. 

“Beloved, let us [unselfishly] LOVE and seek the best for one another, for LOVE is from God; and everyone who LOVES [others] is BORN of God and KNOWS God [through personal experience]. 8 The one who DOES NOT LOVE has not become ACQUAINTED with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is LOVE. [He is the ORIGINATOR of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.] . . . 17 In this [union and fellowship with Him], LOVE is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have CONFIDENCE in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; because as He is, so ARE WE in this world. 18 There is NO FEAR IN LOVE [dread does not exist]. But PERFECT (complete, full-grown) LOVE DRIVES OUT FEAR, because FEAR involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]” 1 John 4:7-8, 17-18 Amplified. 

“For though I PREACH the gospel, I have NOTHING to glory of: for NECESSITY is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I PREACH not the gospel! 17 For if I DO this thing WILLINGLY, I have a REWARD: but if AGAINST my will, a DISPENSATION of the GOSPEL is committed unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:16-17. 

I PRAY that as you take STOCK in doing life and living godly, may you do it by God’s WORD, in LOVE; and may you maintain consistency in this realm and sphere by LOVE, and keep DOING God’s WORD by LOVE – and not as a BURDEN – while making ALL THE DIFFERENCE. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“By this we know that we LOVE the children of God, when we LOVE God and keep His commandments. 3 For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not BURDENSOME” 1 John 5:2-3. 

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land” Isaiah 1:19. 

“There hath no TEMPTATION taken you but such as is common to man: but God is FAITHFUL, who will not SUFFER (ALLOW) you to be TEMPTED above that ye are able; but will with the TEMPTATION also MAKE A WAY TO ESCAPE, that ye may be ABLE to bear it” 1 Corinthians 10:13 (Emphasis Mine). 

“Let no man SAY when he is TEMPTED, I am TEMPTED of God: for God CANNOT be TEMPTED with evil, neither TEMPTETH he any man: 14 but every man is TEMPTED, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed” James 1:13-14. 

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not SINCERELY, supposing to add AFFLICTION to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? NOTWITHSTANDING, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do REJOICE, yea, and will REJOICE” Philippians 1:15-18. 

“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 . . .” 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 NKJV. 

“LOVE has been PERFECTED among us in this: 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 CASTS OUT FEAR, because FEAR involves TORMENT. But he who FEARS has not been MADE PERFECT IN LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18. 

“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 . . .But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8. 

SUMMARY: 

The message is a prophetic, pastoral call to obedience driven by LOVE, not duty, fear, or burden.  

Here are the core pillars: 

  1. THE CENTRAL THESIS: LOVE MAKES OBEDIENCE LIGHT

Main Point: DOING God’s WORD in LOVE is what makes the Christian life effectual, efficient, effortless, and guilt-free. 
God’s commands are NOT a BURDEN. They are not GRIEVOUS, IRKSOME, or a TASKMASTER. 
1 John 5:2-3 — “His commandments are not BURDENSOME” 
When we obey from a spirited, heartfelt place of LOVE, it makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. 

  1. GOD’S NATURE & INTENT: NOT A TASKMASTER

Truth: God is NOT out to see you fail so He can punish you. 

  • His COMMANDS are not mere ADVICE. They are genuine, faithful, true, sure, real, and empowering. 
  • His intent is ALWAYS for our good — to help us and give us leverage in godly living. 
  • He does NOT tempt us with obligations He knows are impossible. 
  • He will always COMMEND obedience that is done in LOVE. 
    When we live by God’s WORD in LOVE, life becomes liveable, loveable, reachable, and enjoyable in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
  1. THE CONDITION FOR KINGDOM BLESSING: WILLING + OBEDIENT HEART

Key: Isaiah 1:19 — “If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land.” 
A WILLING and OBEDIENT heart of LOVE toward God’s WORD is all it takes to access Kingdom goodness. 
This is very possible. But LOVE must NOT be done with a DUTY heart, as if God is a taskmaster. 

  1. LOVE VS FEAR, DUTY VS BONDAGE

Warning: Don’t serve God out of fear, obligation, or bondage. 

  • PERFECT LOVE casts out FEAR and PHOBIAS. 1 John 4:18 
  • There is NO FEAR IN LOVE. Fear involves torment and expectation of punishment. 
  • Even in matters of NECESSITY, like Apostle Paul’s call 1 Cor 9:16-17, do it WILLINGLY in LOVE for the REWARD, not against your will. 
  • Whether giving FINANCE, TIME, TALENT/SKILL, or anything for Kingdom cause — do it in LOVE for God, not duty in fear. 
    Let God’s LOVE rule and reign in your world as it does in His. 
  1. THE EVIDENCE OF LOVE: OBEDIENCE + RELATIONSHIP

Proof: 1 John 5:2 — “By this we know that we LOVE the children of God, when we LOVE God and keep His commandments.” 
1 John 4:7-8 — “God is LOVE. He who does not love does not know God.” 
Love is not just emotion. Love is DOING God’s Word. 
1 Cor 13:1-3 — Without LOVE, gifts, sacrifice, and ministry profit NOTHING. 

  1. GOD’S FAITHFULNESS IN THE PROCESS

Encouragement: 

  • Jeremiah 29:11-12 — God’s plans for you are for PEACE, WELLBEING, FUTURE and HOPE. He hears when you pray. 
  • 1 Cor 10:13 — God is FAITHFUL. He will not allow temptation beyond what you can bear, and He will make a WAY OF ESCAPE. 
  • Romans 5:5,8 — God’s LOVE is SHED abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. He COMMENDED His love to us while we were yet sinners. 
    The Holy Spirit perfects love in us so we can have BOLDNESS and CONFIDENCE 1 John 4:17. 
  1. THE PRAYER & CALL TO ACTION

Prayer: That we take STOCK in doing life and living godly by God’s WORD IN LOVE. 
That we maintain consistency in the realm of LOVE, keep DOING God’s WORD by LOVE — not as a BURDEN — and it will MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS THAT HOLD IT TOGETHER: 

  1. Love = Obedience: 1 John 5:2-3 
  2. Willing Obedience = Kingdom Good: Isaiah 1:19 
  3. God is Faithful, Not a Tempter: 1 Cor 10:13, James 1:13-14 
  4. Motive Matters: Philippians 1:15-18 — Preach/do it in LOVE, not contention. 
  5. Love is Everything: 1 Cor 13:1-3 
  6. Love Casts Out Fear: 1 John 4:17-18 
  7. Love is Supernaturally Given: Romans 5:5,8  

IN ONE SENTENCE: 

God is not a taskmaster. When you take stock of your life, be WILLING and OBEDIENT to do God’s WORD IN LOVE — not duty, not fear — because His commands are not burdensome, His love empowers you, and this LOVE-driven obedience is what makes your walk with God effective and your life fruitful.

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE 

By Leave a Comment

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE: IS THE ANSWER OF GOD’S LOVED-WORLD TO THE SPHERE AND QUESTIONS OF AN EVIL-WICKED-AND-HATED-WORLD TODAY! 

“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another HELPER (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of Truth, whom the WORLD cannot receive [and take to its heart] because it does not SEE Him or KNOW Him, but you KNOW Him because He (the Holy Spirit) remains WITH you continually and will be IN you” John 14:16-17/AMP. 

Do you have QUESTIONS about the hate, evil, wickedness, murder, violence, and more in our world today? There is an ANSWER. The ANSWER is to ensure that, in the midst of the evil and wickedness in the world, God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus becomes our FUNDAMENTAL and PRINCIPLED guidance in every aspect of living godly and doing life. 

“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 COMMENDETH HIS LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8. 

And LIVING and WALKING by the Holy Spirit of love is the only EMPOWERING way to manifest and demonstrate the characteristics of God’s Love in Christ Jesus – that is how God’s LOVED WORLD answers the questions of an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD, and a HATE WORLD questions. 

God’s love in Christ Jesus is characterised and summed up in 1 Corinthians 13. It is all possible by the working of the indwelling Spirit of love given to us – The Holy Spirit is shed and poured into our hearts – into the inner, subconscious spirit- man- to ensure that we triumph in all that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Romans 5:5, 8; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 2 Peter 1:2-4. 

God’s kind of love is the only way to do life and to live through and above the knowledge of hate, selfishness, evil, wickedness and violence in the world that we see today. God’s love in Christ Jesus helps us to transcend and surpass the human-based kind love, which is of the SENSES – See, Smell, Feel, Taste and Hear. Ephesians 3:16-19. 

Living in God’s LOVED WORLD setting is the ANSWER to the REALITY and QUESTIONS of an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD, and a HATE-FILLED WORLD.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT- 

“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 COMMENDETH HIS LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8. 

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5. 

“For God so LOVED THE WORLD that he GAVE his one and only Son, that whoever BELIEVES in him shall not PERISH but have ETERNAL LIFE” John 3:16. 

“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]. 20 Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen” Ephesians 3:14-21 (Amplified).

Core Truth: THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE 
Key Verse: John 14:16-17 AMP 
Jesus promised the Holy Spirit — the Helper, Comforter, Advocate, Strengthener — to be WITH us and IN us forever. 
The world cannot receive Him because it does not see or know Him. But believers DO know Him. 

  1. THE PROBLEM: QUESTIONS FROM A BROKEN WORLD

The message asks: Do you have QUESTIONS about the hate, evil, wickedness, murder, violence, and more in our world today? 
It describes the world as: EVIL-WICKED-AND-HATE-FILLED. 
Galatians 1:3-5 calls it “this PRESENT EVIL WORLD” from which Christ came to DELIVER us.

  1. THE EMPOWERMENT: LIVING & WALKING BY THE SPIRIT

Living and Walking by the Holy Spirit of love is the only EMPOWERING way to manifest the characteristics of God’s Love. 
Where does it happen? The Holy Spirit is shed and poured into our hearts — into our inner, subconscious spirit-man — Romans 5:5. 
Result: We triumph in all that pertains to LIFE and GODLY LIVING. 2 Cor 2:14, 2 Peter 1:2-4 

  1. THE DESCRIPTION: WHAT GOD’S LOVE LOOKS LIKE

God’s love in Christ Jesus is characterised and summed up in 1 Corinthians 13. 
This love transcends and surpasses human-based love, which is limited to the 5 SENSES: See, Smell, Feel, Taste, and Hear. 
Ephesians 3:16-19 AMP explains: We are to be rooted and grounded IN LOVE, strengthened by the Spirit in our inner being, to know the LOVE OF CHRIST which surpasses knowledge, and be filled up to all the fullness of God. 

  1. THE OUTCOME: GOD’S LOVED-WORLD VS THE WORLD

Living in God’s LOVED WORLD setting is the ANSWER to the REALITY and QUESTIONS of an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD, and HATE-FILLED WORLD. 
God’s kind of love is the only way to live through and above hate, selfishness, evil, wickedness, and violence. 

  1. SELAH – SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS TO PONDER
    Romans 5:5, 8 – God’s love poured out; Christ died for sinners. 
    Galatians 1:3-5 – Christ gave Himself to deliver us from this present evil world. 
    John 3:16 – The motive of the Gospel: God’s love for the world. 
    Ephesians 3:14-21 AMP – The prayer: to be strengthened, rooted in love, to experience the width, length, height, depth of Christ’s love, and be filled with all the fullness of God.

MIRRORING YOUR WELLBEING BY GOD’S LOVE 

By Leave a Comment

MIRRORING YOUR WELLBEING BY GOD’S LOVE: LOVING THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IN THE EYES OF CHRIST JESUS! 

“And [that you may come] to KNOW [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS [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 3:19/AMP. 

Mirroring God’s LOVE in our lives should be every believer’s earnest desire and expectation as we live in grace – in our day-to-day endeavours and in our walk with God in Christ Jesus’ stead. The questions that come to mind are: 

  1.  How have you been applying it in your day to day living thus far?  
  2. How will you start to do it now?  
  3. How do you go about doing it in order to sustain it, with an onward and upward trajectory that does not stop?  

Will it be through the lens of your DENOMINATIONAL and DOCTRINAL Church, sectarian by-laws and creeds?  

Or through the World’s definition?  

Or will you choose to DO life through the EYES and FACE of Christ Jesus, in the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of God as revealed in the Holy Scriptures? 

“For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has SHONE in our hearts to give us the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the FACE of Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6 Amplified. 

LOVING through KNOWLEDGE, in the EYES and FACE of JESUS, by the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us, is the essence of FULFILING scripture and being FULFILED in God, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET sinners, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8. 

If you mirror your life through the eyes of DENOMINATIONAL and DOCTRINAL Church by-laws and creeds, or through the WORLD’S definition as seen today, I tell you this truthfully: You will be stigmatised, locked in dogmas and creeds, and become self-centred. More so, you will end up full of RELIGION-MADE, SECTARIANISM, SELF-MADE and MAN-MADE practices – with their bondages and captivity.  

They may seem good in human eyes, but they are full of sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) in every perception and life dealing.  

Worst of all, it is not healthy and gracious for godly living before the God of LOVE, in the knowledge of Christ Jesus’ stead as SCRIPTURALLY enjoined. Amen. 

“And [that you may come] to KNOW [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS [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 3:19/AMP. 

For when you mirror God’s love from and through the saving, gracious KNOWLEDGE of Christ Jesus – in His EYES and on His FACE – in order to do life and live godly, I can verily promise you this:  

You will be LIBERATED from all forms of bondage and captivity. You will eventually experience WHOLEHEARTED WHOLENESS in your triune being: spirit, soul and body. And God’s love in Christ Jesus will take hold of you in every way, to do life and live FULFILING scripture – BLESSEDLY, MEANINGFULLY, and PURPOSEFULLY. Amen. 

“Love is to be sincere and active [the real thing—without guile and hypocrisy]. 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 lagging behind in diligence; aglow in the Spirit, enthusiastically serving the Lord; 12 constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength], 13 contributing to the needs of God’s people, pursuing [the practice of] hospitality . . .” Romans 12:9-21 Amplified. 

Genuine freedom is seeing God’s love through the EYES of Christ Jesus – if you dare to desire to truly live free in GRACE and in God’s KNOWLEDGE: wholesomely, purposefully, and meaningfully. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Beloved, let us LOVE one another, for LOVE is of God; and everyone who LOVES is born of God and knows God. 8 He who DOES NOT LOVE does not know God, for GOD IS LOVE. 9 In this the LOVE of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON into the world, that we might LIVE THROUGH HIM. 10 In this 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 also ought to LOVE one another” 1 John 4:7-11. 

“And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23. 

“Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having LOVED his own which were in the world, he LOVED THEM UNTO THE END . . . 34 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 13:1, 34-35. 

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” Hebrews 12:1-2. 

“God, who at SUNDRY TIMES and in DIVERS MANNERS SPAKE IN TIME PAST unto the fathers by the PROPHETS, 2 hath in these LAST DAYS SPOKEN UNTO US BY HIS SON, whom he hath APPOINTED heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of his glory, and the EXPRESS image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” Hebrews 1:1-4. 

“. . . 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 and TRANSCENDS [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 3:14-19 Amplified. 

SUMMARY: 

This is a theological charge + devotional call centred on one truth: To live free, whole, and godly, believers must mirror God’s love through the EYES and FACE of Christ Jesus, not through religion, denominations, or the world. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. THE CENTRAL THEME & SCRIPTURE FOUNDATION

Theme: MIRRORING YOUR WELLBEING BY GOD’S LOVE 
Core Verse: Ephesians 3:19 AMP 
“…to KNOW practically, through personal experience, the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES knowledge, that you may be FILLED up…to all the FULLNESS of God.” 
The goal is experiential knowledge of God’s love that leads to being FILLED and FLOODED with God Himself. 

Supporting verse: 2 Corinthians 4:6 AMP – God has shone the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of His glory in the FACE of Christ. 

  1. THE QUESTION & THE 3 OPTIONS FOR LIVING

The message poses 3 reflective questions about daily application, consistency, and sustainability. 
Then it gives 3 paths to choose from: 

  • DENOMINATIONAL & DOCTRINAL Church – by-laws, creeds, sectarianism 
  • THE WORLD’S definition – human standards 
  • THE EYES AND FACE OF CHRIST JESUS – in the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of God from Holy Scriptures ← The only correct path 
  1. THE WARNING: LIFE OUTSIDE CHRIST’S EYES

If you choose Option 1 or 2: 

  • You will be stigmatised, locked in dogmas, and self-centred 
  • You will become RELIGION-MADE, SECTARIAN, SELF-MADE, MAN-MADE 
  • Result: Bondage, captivity, sentiment, prejudice, and hypocrisy 
  • It is not healthy or gracious for godly living before the God of LOVE. Romans 5:5-8 
  1. THE PROMISE: LIFE THROUGH CHRIST’S EYES

When you mirror God’s love through the saving, gracious KNOWLEDGE in Christ Jesus: 

  • You will be LIBERATED from all bondage and captivity 
  • You will experience WHOLEHEARTED WHOLENESS in your triune being: spirit, soul, and body 1 Thess 5:23 
  • God’s love will lead you to live FULFILLING Scripture — BLESSEDLY, MEANINGFULLY, and PURPOSEFULLY 
  • LOVING through KNOWLEDGE by the Holy Spirit is the essence of fulfilling Scripture and being fulfilled in God. 
  1. WHAT THIS LOVE LOOKS LIKE PRACTICALLY

From Romans 12:9-21 AMP: 
Sincere love, no hypocrisy. Hate evil, hold to good. Brotherly affection, honor, diligence, rejoicing in hope, steadfast in distress, devotion to prayer, generosity, hospitality. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS TO PONDER – SELAH
1 John 4:7-11 – God IS LOVE. We love because He first loved us and sent His Son. 

John 13:34-35 – The NEW COMMANDMENT: Love one another as Christ loved us. This is how the world knows we are His disciples. 

Hebrews 12:1-2 – LOOKING UNTO JESUS, the Author and Finisher of our faith. 

Hebrews 1:1-4 – In these last days God has SPOKEN TO US BY HIS SON, the EXPRESS image of His person. 

Ephesians 3:14-19 – Rooted and grounded in LOVE, to comprehend the width, length, height, depth of God’s love.

THE FINAL DECLARATION

Genuine freedom is seeing God’s love through the EYES of Christ Jesus — if you dare to desire to truly live free in GRACE and in God’s KNOWLEDGE: wholesomely, purposefully, and meaningfully. 

In One Sentence: 

The message calls every believer to reject religion and worldliness, and to instead mirror God’s love by seeing life through Christ Jesus — because only that path brings liberation, wholeness, fulfillment, and the fullness of God’s presence.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING: THE NEED TO DEAL WITH THE WARNING SIGNS ON LUSTS AND AFFECTIONS – THE CRAVINGS OF THE FLESH! 

God LOVES and CARES for your total wellbeing – spirit, soul, and body. You also need to take a stand to ENSURE it is whole for your good and goodness, and to be ASSURED now and always, as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

In the current atmosphere of the internet and the multiverse multimedia world, the depraved state of human perception is undeniable by every measure. As such, there is an urgent need to ADDRESS THE WARNING SIGNS ON LUSTS AND AFFECTIONS, ANDTHE EARNEST CRAVINGS OF THE FLESH, which are affecting the total wellbeing of man: SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY. 

Hence, the SCRIPTURES mentioned and given below are worthy of all earnest reading and pondering for your emancipation by the grace of Christ Jesus stead. 

BE BLESSED 

“Do not love the world [of sin that opposes God and His precepts], nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one’s resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father, but are from the world. 17 The world is passing away, and with it its lusts [the shameful pursuits and ungodly longings]; but the one who does the will of God and carries out His purposes lives forever” 1 John 2:15-17/Amplified. 

“1-2 Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from? Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way, and fight for it deep inside yourselves. You LUST for what you don’t have and are willing to kill to get it. You want what isn’t yours and will risk violence to get your hands on it. 2-3 You wouldn’t think of just asking God for it, would you? And why not? Because you know you’d be asking for what you have no right to. You’re spoiled children, each wanting your own way. 4-6 You’re cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn’t CARE? The proverb has it that “he’s a fiercely jealous LOVER.” And what he gives in LOVE is far better than anything else you’ll find. It’s common knowledge that “God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble” James 4:1-6/The Message Bible. 

“What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Isn’t it because there is a whole army of evil desires within you? 2 You want what you don’t have, so you kill to get it. You long for what others have, and can’t afford it, so you start a fight to take it away from them. And yet the reason you don’t have what you want is that you don’t ask God for it. 3 And even when you do ask you don’t get it because your whole aim is wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure. 4 You are like an unfaithful wife who loves her husband’s enemies. Don’t you realize that making friends with God’s enemies—the evil pleasures of this world—makes you an enemy of God? I say it again, that if your aim is to enjoy the evil pleasure of the unsaved world, you cannot also be a friend of God. 5 Or what do you think the Scripture means when it says that the Holy Spirit, whom God has placed within us, watches over us with tender jealousy? 6 But he gives us more and more strength to stand against all such evil longings. As the Scripture says, God gives strength to the humble but sets himself against the proud and haughty. 7 So give yourselves humbly to God. RESIST the devil and he will FLEE from you” James 4:1-7/The Living Bible. 

“And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:24-25. 

SUMMARY:
CORE MESSAGE / THESIS

The message is a call to spiritual vigilance in a depraved, multimedia age. It asserts that God is committed to the total wellbeing of man — spirit, soul, and body — but believers also have a responsibility to take a stand against lust, wrong affections, and fleshly cravings that destroy that wholeness. The only path to emancipation and assurance is through earnest engagement with Scripture and by the grace of Christ Jesus. 
KEY POINTS
The Present Crisis: A Depraved Perception

  • The internet and “multiverse multimedia world” have created an atmosphere where the depraved state of human perception is undeniable.
  • This environment fuels lusts, wrong affections, and earnest cravings of the flesh, which are actively affecting the total well-being of man.

God’s Position and Man’s Responsibility

  • God’s Part: God loves and cares for your total well-being — spirit, soul, and body. 
  • Man’s Part: You must take a stand to ensure your life is whole for your good, live with assurance, and walk godly in Christ Jesus. It is a partnership of grace and responsibility.

The Biblical Diagnosis of “Flesh” Love

  1. The Scriptures provided define the problem and the cure:
    1 John 2:15-17 — Separation from Worldliness 
    Point: Do not love the world system that opposes God. The world offers 3 things: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. None are from the Father. The world and its lusts are passing away, but obedience to God’s will endures forever. 
    Application: Lust is not from God. It is a temporary, worldly pursuit that leads away from eternal life. 
    James 4:1-6 [The Message Bible] — The Root of Conflict is Fleshly Desire 
    Point: Wars, quarrels, and violence come from selfish, inward lusts. You covet, fight, and refuse to ask God because you want your own way. This is spiritual adultery — “flirting with the world” makes you an enemy of God. 
    Application: God is a “jealous Lover” who gives greater grace to the humble. Pride resists God; humility receives grace. 
    James 4:1-7 [The Living Bible] — The Cure: Humility and Resistance 
    Point: Quarrels come from an “army of evil desires” within. You don’t have because you don’t ask God, or you ask with wrong motives — for pleasure only. Friendship with the world = enmity with God. 
    Application: God gives strength to the humble. Therefore, submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee. 
    Galatians 5:24-25 — The Identity and Walk of the Believer 
    Point: Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts. If we live by the Spirit, we must also walk by the Spirit. 
    Application: Emancipation is not struggle-based, but identity-based. Your new position in Christ demands a Spirit-led lifestyle. [Amplified] 

  2. The Required Response: Emancipation Through Scripture
    Hence, the Scriptures above are worthy of earnest reading and pondering. They are prescribed for your emancipation by the grace of Christ Jesus — freedom from the bondage of lust and flesh.
  3. CALL TO ACTION
    Examine: Recognise the warning signs of lust, sensual craving, and fleshly affections in your life. 
    Repent/Separate: Stop “flirting with the world” and choose friendship with God over friendship with worldly pleasures. 
    Submit & Resist: Humble yourself under God and actively resist the devil and the cravings of the flesh. 
    Walk in Identity: Live from the reality that, in Christ, the flesh has been crucified. Choose to “live in the Spirit” and “walk in the Spirit” daily. 
    Meditate: Engage the Scriptures given earnestly until they produce freedom and godly assurance. 
  1. TONE & PURPOSE

Tone: Urgent, pastoral, and prophetic. It is a warning, but also an assurance of God’s care and grace. 
Purpose: To awaken believers to the danger of lust in the digital age, to anchor them in God’s love for their whole being, and to direct them to Scripture as the means of emancipation and godly living. 

Conclusion in One Sentence: 
In a depraved multimedia culture, God’s love protects your total being, therefore you must reject fleshly lusts, submit to God, and live free by the Spirit through the Word.

There’s GREAT POWER To FUNCTION In LOVE 

By Leave a Comment

There’s GREAT POWER To FUNCTION In LOVE: And There’s GREAT GRACE To BECOME In What LOVE Entails! 

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33. 

God’s LOVE it’s of the HUMAN HEARTS and it’s express effortlessly by the precious and blessed Holy Spirit of promise; outside the Holy Spirit of Love context, it’s PERVERTS, for no man can genuinely LOVE in the fulness beside what it’s Scripturally justified in the grace. 

“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” Romans 5:5 NKJV 

There’s the need to MANIFEST and DEMONSTRATE God’s kind of Love to this generation and dispensation unreservedly and uncompromisingly; that’s how to make a difference and healthy living and relationships, in a world full of various kinds of LOVE PERVERTS that’s full of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation, and that’s indescribably filled up with lusts and affections, hatred, evil and wickedness of indescribable measures. That’s the essence of the compelling SCRIPTURE for the born of LOVE in God to make their presence known as people of PURPOSE, CALLED, JUSTIFIED, PREDESTINED, FOREKNOW, and GLORIFIED in Christ Jesus stead: 

“For the EARNEST EXPECTATION of the CREATURE (CREATION) waiteth for the MANIFESTATION of the sons of God . . . 28 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. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:19, 28/Emphasis Mine. 

Manifesting and demonstrating God’s love is of the Holy Spirit embedded in human hearts, that is – the human spirit (Romans 5:5; Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified). Outside it are an act of perversions. Hence there are many evils and in fighting today in the name of love (James 4:1-5/Galatians 5:24-25). 

Loving God and experiencing His eternal purpose for you is of the human spirit, because God’s love is poured or shared only in our hearts by the Holy Spirit; and from those human hearts (spirit being) we can manifest and demonstrate God’s love in us. It thus indicates, when you can’t receive and comprehends God’s love in your spirit being to manifest and demonstrate it by the Holy Spirit, it turns to PERVERTS. Hence many today have in the name of love which is of the head (senses) and not of the hearts (spirit) done many silly, evil and dangerous acts that’s too marvelling to comprehend (Proverbs 20:27/Galatians 5:24). 

For example, when you keep BEATING UP your spouse and yet say to her or him – I LOVE YOU. That’s pervert and demonic, because it’s only in the head. When it’s of the hearts by the Holy Spirit, you won’t think or imagine doing that at all. 

For God gives the POWER to FUNCTION in LOVE and the GRACE to BECOME what Love entails! 

The Scriptural writ of the Acts of the Apostles indicates that the Holy Spirit is of – POWER to FUNCTION – Acts 1:8/Acts 4:33; and of GRACE to BECOME – Hebrews 10:29/Zechariah 12:10/Acts 4:33.  

It thus means in the context of LOVE with God, one can’t genuinely acclaim to love God and still struggle to be in His presence, pray, read the Bible, fellowship with likeminded believers and more – 1 John 5:1-3. God’s love when it’s of the heart – human spirit – by the Holy Spirit, life is at ease, there’s no room for excuses because God don’t excuse Himself, for He is love and in you. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK – about it. I know that very much. Do you? 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33. 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS (Human spirit) by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5 (Emphasis Mine). 

“LOVE is to be SINCERE and ACTIVE [the real thing—without GUILE and HYPOCRISY]. 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 lagging behind in diligence; aglow in the Spirit, enthusiastically serving the Lord; 12 constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength], 13 contributing to the needs of God’s people, pursuing [the practice of] hospitality” Romans 12:8-13 Amplified. 

“For the EARNEST EXPECTATION of the creature waiteth for the MANIFESTATION of the sons of God . . . 28 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. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:19, 28-30. 

“Beloved, let us [unselfishly] love and seek the best for one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves [others] is born of God and knows God [through personal experience]. 8 The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. [He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.] 9 By this the love of God was displayed in us, in that God has sent His [One and] only begotten Son [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind] into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and the satisfying offering] for our sins [fulfilling God’s requirement for justice against sin and placating His wrath]. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us [in this incredible way], we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has seen God at any time. But if we love one another [with unselfish concern], God abides in us, and His love [the love that is His essence abides in us and] is completed and perfected in us. 13 By this we know [with confident assurance] that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given to us His [Holy] Spirit. 14 We [who were with Him in person] have seen and testify [as eye-witnesses] that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses and acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides continually in him. 17 In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love [dread does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]. 19 We love, because He first loved us. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates (works against) his [Christian] brother he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should also [unselfishly] love his brother and seek the best for him” 1 John 4:7-21 Amplified. 

“. . . 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 3:15-21 Amplified.

NEW DAY – THE NEW CREATION MINDSET: TRULY INDEED – DO YOU PERCEIVE THE SAME IN YOUR BEING! 

“It is for FREEDOM that Christ has SET US FREE. STAND FIRM, then, and DO NOT let yourselves be BURDENED again by a YOKE OF SLAVERY (BONDAGE) Galatians 5:1 NIV. 

What is it that sets you up and enlightens your day, every morning? Is it based on – the house you live in; the cars you drive; the size of your bank account; the business empire you’ve established; the career you are in; the size of the Church or Ministries you attend or Pastor; the trophies, ornaments, treasures or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life? WHAT SETS YOU UP AND BRIGHTENS UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND? 

For me, it’s the KNOWING and being ASSURED that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That God loves me and HIS presence lives in me, with me, and for me – That’s PRICELESS! That’s what gives me hope, faith, and the needed love and synergy to win my day for me and all about me for others. 

More so, the KNOWING that the NEW CREATION has NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore; and my PAST, no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, it CAN’T hold back my today and future anymore because of what Jesus has done to wash them away and cleanse me from EVERY unrighteousness by His precious and redeeming blood. 

What a true freedom, to live ASSURED by the eternal God, every morning and every day. Amen. Much more, the KNOWING that His steadfast love is new every morning and everyday towards you and me – That’s GRACIOUS indeed. 

SELAH – PAUSE & THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, ALL THINGS have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17 

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by [b]whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a NEW CREATION” Galatians 6:14-15. 

“God’s loyal LOVE couldn’t have run out, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re CREATED NEW every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left.” Lamentations 3:22-24 (The Message Bible). 

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises living in the freedom and assurance of being a new creation in Christ Jesus. It’s about embracing the transformative power of God’s love and redemption, leaving the past behind, and walking in the newness of life. 

Key Points: 

  1. Freedom in Christ: Christ has set us free; stand firm and don’t be burdened by slavery (Galatians 5:1). 
  2. New Creation: You’re a new creation in Christ; old things have passed away (2 Corinthians 5:17). 
  3. God’s Love: His steadfast love is new every morning, precious, and priceless. 
  4. No Past: The new creation has no past in Christ; your past can’t hold back your today and future. 
  5. Assured Identity: Knowing God’s love and presence gives hope, faith, and synergy to win your day. 

Takeaways: 

  • Your identity is in Christ, not external things. 
  • God’s love and presence bring true freedom and joy. 
  • Embrace your new creation status; leave the past behind. 
  • Stand firm in Christ’s freedom; don’t be burdened by slavery. 

Scriptural Foundation: 

  • Galatians 5:1, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Lamentations 3:22-24, Psalms 16:11. 

The message encourages you to pause and reflect on your new creation identity in Christ, embracing the freedom, love, and assurance that comes with it.

THE NEW CREATION MINDSET

THE NEW CREATION MINDSET: THE DAILY ASSURED CONSCIOUSNESS OF BEING TRULY FREE INDEED IN CHRIST JESUS! 

“It is for FREEDOM that Christ has SET US FREE. STAND FIRM, then, and DO NOT let yourselves be BURDENED again by a YOKE OF SLAVERY (BONDAGE)” Galatians 5:1 NIV. 

DO YOU DAILY PERCEIVE THE SAME ASSURED CONSCIOUSNESS IN YOUR BEING THAT YOU ARE FREE INDEED IN CHRIST JESUS, OR YOU STILL QUESTION WHO YOU ARE AND WHEREIN YOU DO STAND IN GRACE THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS? 

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in HOPE of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2. 

What is it that sets you up and enlightens your day, every morning? Is it based on – the house you live in; the car you drive; the size of your bank account; the business empire you’ve established; the career you are in; the size of the Church or Ministries you attend or Pastor; the trophies, ornaments, treasures, or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life? WHAT SETS YOU UP AND BRIGHTENS UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND, EACH MORNING?  

What does the quality of your life depend on, how is it measured? How do you define the graciousness and gracefulness of your God-given opportunity to live life and live godly on earth in humanity? Does the scripture of Luke 12:15, ever trigger your daily stand and wellbeing in Christ Jesus, especially in the daily PURSUIT of all that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS as it’s written? 

“And he said unto them, TAKE HEED, and BEWARE of covetousness: for a MAN’S LIFE CONSISTETH not in the ABUNDANCE of the things which he POSSESSETH” Luke 12:15. 

For me, WHAT SETS ME UP AND MY DAY is the ASSURED assurance that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That I am KNOWN, QUALIFIED, PREDESTINATED, GLORIFIED, CALLED, and JUSTIFIED by God; and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God, enhancing my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelmingly, inspiring, revealing, empowering and incomprehensible. The knowing that God LOVES me and His presence LIVES in me, with me, and for me makes it more PRICELESS. That, and many such truths too numerous to note, within gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day for me and all about me for others, in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“God’s loyal LOVE couldn’t have RUN OUT, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re CREATED NEW every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left.” Lamentations 3:22-24 (The Message Bible). 

And for me, the more is the quality of daily wellbeing in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus – that is, KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of being ASSURED that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That God LOVES me and HIS presence lives IN me, He’s WITH me, and He’s FOR me – and that knowing and understanding is PRECIOUS and PRICELESS! That’s what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE and synergy to win my day for me and all about me for others. WHAT ABOUT YOU? 

The KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that the NEW CREATION has NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore makes me assured of my onward and upward trajectory; and, in that my PAST – no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was –  it CAN’T hold back my TODAY and TOMORROW anymore. Because of what Jesus has DONE in redemption for me, He has washed (erased) away my sin and cleansed me from EVERY UNRIGHTEOUSNESS by His precious and REDEEMING BLOOD. 

“”Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19. 

What a true freedom, for me and you to live ASSURED by the synergy of the eternal God, every morning and everyday – unashamed, unafraid and unperturbed in Christ Jesus. Amen. And much more, the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that His STEDFAST LOVE never ceases and are new every morning and everyday towards you and I – That’s GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL indeed to me. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!!

And this is THE WORD which by the gospel is preached unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25.

WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS

By Leave a Comment

WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS: MADE POSSIBLE BY GOD’S LOVE THAT’S EMBEDDED IN US! 

“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. 

There’s the need today to go back to the faith-based basic principle of the kingdom of God for the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. This is important, in order to advance in God’s cause on earth and to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS. And this is good, especially in our path of doing life and living godly; otherwise, life MATTERS will be an ILLUSION, UNSTEADY and very much FRUSTRATING, even when we have concluded we ARE born of God in Christ Jesus stead. 

And one aspect of the great basic principle of strength to being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD, is we knowing we ARE what we ARE by God’s LOVE; and it’s in our LOVE for Him in His principled LOVE definition and not our made up definition – I mean His love and not in our self-made love that’s built on sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. For in God’s Love, His PURPOSE in us is fulfilled, complete, whole, matured and such like. Hence, there’s the need to stir up our innermost spirit being, as Apostle Paul instructed Timothy, in order to appropriate this basic principle, upon which WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in Christ Jesus stead, in Father God. Amen. 2 Timothy 1:6. 

And herein ARE but not limited, of the basic principle to uphold of God’s LOVE for us, to have us MADE a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Him, in Christ Jesus stead: 

  • That all things will work together for the good of those who LOVE God in His LOVE for His PURPOSE. Romans 8:28. 
  • And because of God’s LOVE that’s embedded in us to LOVE in His LOVE, we ARE enshrined as the CALLED, FOREKNOWN, JUSTIFIED, PREDESTINED, CONFORMED and GLORIFIED people of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Romans 5:5, 8; Romans 8:28-30 
  • And God REVEALS all things to them that LOVES Him in His LOVE by the Holy Spirit, which is given to us and embedded in us. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Romans 5:5, 8; John 14:16-17. 
  • And God only CHASTISES those He LOVES and cares about, in order to make them BECOME who they OUGHT to be in Him; otherwise, one is a BASTARD and ILLEGITIMATE child in Him, if no chastisement in LOVE. Hebrews 12:5-11. 
  • The LOVE of God in Christ Jesus, TRANSCENDS and SURPASSED the sense knowledge of limitations. Ephesians 3:17-20. 
  • We are INSEPARABLE by God’s LOVE, and we are persuaded by God’s LOVE. Romans 8:35-39. 
  • We are FREE from CONDEMNATION by God’s LOVE. Romans 8:31-34; Romans 8:1-5, 6-17. 
  • We ARE indeed a MORE THAN CONQUERORS through Him that LOVED us. Romans 8:37. 
  • We ARE MADE to be a people that are CHARACTERISED by God’s LOVE in every way of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Romans 12:9-21; Matthew 5:43-48. 
  • The LOVE of God in Christ Jesus MADE us MORE THAN CONQUERORS over earthly elements of limitations that challenges our FAITH, that tends to SEPARATE us, CONDEMN us, in doing life and living godly in the world. Romans 8:35-39.

    Such elements include, but are not limited to:
  • Condemnation 
  • Tribulation 
  • Distress 
  • Persecution 
  • Famine 
  • Nakedness 
  • Peril 
  • Sword 
  • Death 
  • Life 
  • Angels 
  • Principalities 
  • Powers 
  • Things present 
  • Things to come 
  • Height 
  • Depth 
  • Any other creature 

I PRAY that you give yourself to LOVE God by walking in His LOVE in Christ Jesus stead, as He has loved us, so that you can comprehend in fullness and totality His love, that TRANSCENDS and SURPASSED the SENSE Knowledge LOVE, that is only within the bonds of how and what you – feel, taste, hear, see and smell. Ephesians 3:17-19. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Romans 8:28. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED not his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY any thing to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is RISEN again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us. 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 8:28-39. 

“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. 

“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). 

“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

“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. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-29.

YOU’VE BEING MADE A MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS: THAT’S ONLY MADE POSSIBLE – BY GOD’S LOVE THAT’S EMBEDDED IN US! 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is SHED [SPREAD, POURED] ABROAD [LAVISHLY, ABUNDANTLY] in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH [CLEARLY SHOWS, CLEARLY PROVES] HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we WERE yet sinners, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8.
