BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE: TO ENSURE THAT THE EARTH IS FILLED – WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND GLORY OF THE LORD!

“But as truly as I Live, all the earth shall be FILLED with the GLORY of the Lord” Numbers 14:21.

“For the EARTH shall be FILLED with the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of the Lord, as the waters COVER the sea” Habakkuk 2:14.

One of the key missions of any visionary ambassador is to fulfil the assigned context of the sending nation to the stationed nation where he/she is serving as a representative [Messenger]. Otherwise such ambassador misnomer and behaviour will be declared with A PERSONA NON GRATA, meaning a person whose service is not wanted or warranted or welcome; and is not worthy and qualified to represent the affairs of the sending nation [country] in the stationed nation [country] originally assigned to serve.

And the scripture called such messenger [representative, ambassador] with A PERSONA NON GRATA, a wicked one [bad representative], in not serving worthily to FULFILL the assigned concept and perception of the sending nation as commission [assigned]. And as always, when declared a PERSONA NON GRATA, there’s bound to be a trouble [mischief] for such bad representative [ambassador], while the good and faithful ambassador that BEAR WITNESS of trust will enjoy a healthy and rewarding relationship with the sending nation [country]. And, I now ask – which are you today?

“A WICKED MESSENGER [REPRESENTATIVE] falleth into MISCHIEF [TROUBLE]: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17.

And for us as to being CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR in love, our visionary mission upon which we are empowered of God to serve in Christ Jesus, is purely to BEAR WITNESS, thereby ensuring that the GOSPEL reaches unto the ends of the earth unhindered, and for the good and goodness of all mankind and not for a few; and we are to BEAR WITNESS from our home first, which is our Jerusalem] of being a representative, and then to the ends of the earth [Judah, Samaria,  etc] beyond walls and borders. It’s of no worth going about to BEAR WITNESS as CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR to the world while you can’t live out fully to be one at home with the KNOWLEDGE and GLORY of God in virtues in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20.

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

“For so hath the Lord COMMANDED us, saying, I have SET thee to be a LIGHT of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for SALVATION unto the ENDS OF THE EARTH” Acts 13:47.

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto ALL NATIONS; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14.

“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, to BEAR WITNESS of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was NOT that LIGHT, but was sent to BEAR WITNESS of that LIGHT” John 1:6-8.

Even our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ was on earth to BEAR WITNESS of the Father God to humanity. Hence He lived for a CAUSE [PURPOSE] – [John 18:37; 1 John 3:8]; and for such loyalty of service to please the Father God unreservedly, He was highly commended by the Father. He knew the implications of what it means to be an ambassador, a representative of the sending nation or country [Heaven] – [Matthew 25:14-30], without jeopardising the trust and faith been lavishly given to any to serve in such regards.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should BEAR WITNESS unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37 [1 John 3:8].

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL WITNESS, and the FIRST BEGOTTEN of the dead, and the PRINCE of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.

“Wherefore God also hath HIGHLY EXALTED Him, and GIVEN Him a NAME which is ABOVE EVERY NAME: 10 that at the NAME of Jesus every KNEE should BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every TONGUE should CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:9-11.

And the essence of being able to BEAR WITNESS is to be a true and genuine carrier of the mission which is to ensure that from your domain to the ends of the earth, that the KNOWLEDGE and GLORY of God FILLED up every heart and mind in order to secure them from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus stead.

“But as truly as I Live, all the earth shall be FILLED with the GLORY of the Lord” Numbers 14:21

“For the EARTH shall be FILLED with the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of the Lord, as the waters COVER the sea” Habakkuk 2:14.

“Who hath DELIVERED us from the POWER of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED us into the KINGDOM of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:13-14.

I therefore challenge you today, to fan into flame the spirit within to give you the synergy that you need to fulfil the kingdom mandate upon your life in fulfilling purpose meaningfully, and that is, to ensure that from the rising of the sun to the going down that all who comes through your way have opportunity to be filled with the knowledge and glory of God without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

Blessed regards.

WISDOM NUGGETS – TO MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD

WISDOM NUGGETS – TO MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD: IT’S A PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT SOMEONE’S ELSE’S!

“ENDEAVOURING to KEEP the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” Ephesians 4:3.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].

I herein reminds you to make your FAITH work out for your good and goodness, for it’s a personal responsibility and not someone’s else’s. You need to have a pragmatic resolved and to intentionally set out your personal scriptural effort, with the assurance to ensure that you make the necessary endeavours, to inflame and ablaze your faith, in order to make you glow in life and grace irrespective. For your faith will definitely define your today and tomorrow – knowingly and unknowingly.

FAITH without WORKS is DEAD been ALONE. Faith not ACTIONED is dead indeed.  Meaning FAITH WORKING without the action of LOVE – which is the DEFAULT can’t function healthily and lacks VITALITY and the TENDER valued power with God.

FAITH is acting correspondingly on what you believe on God’s word accordingly. So the act of faith directly or indirectly in life and charitable causes are as authentic to and by God in His word, only through LOVE.

It’s either your FAITH is WORKING as Scripturally enjoined by LOVE, or you are living by FATE and FAKE knowingly and or unknowingly.

Therefore, set your priority with God right; for your FAITH to WORK the WORKS of life and grace EFFECTUALLY, LOVE is INEVITABLE in everyway. Meaning, in order to inflame and ablaze your FAITH to GLOW in grace and life, the default of LOVE must be ensured to be actively engaged.

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, BUT FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE” Galatians 5:6 (NKJV)

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED BY WORKS, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 SEEST THOU HOW FAITH WROUGHT WITH HIS WORKS, AND BY WORKS WAS FAITH MADE PERFECT? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 YE SEE THEN HOW THAT BY WORKS A MAN IS JUSTIFIED, AND NOT BY FAITH ONLY. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, SO FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO” James 2:20-26.

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED A GOOD REPORT. 3 Through FAITH we UNDERSTAND that THE WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE Him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.

“For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But what saith it? The Word is nigh thee, even in THY MOUTH, and in THY HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION . . . 17  So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE

BEING CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR IN LOVE: FOR YOU ARE GOD’S EMBASSY!

“Now then we ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20.

Whoever you are that’s reading this now, by the virtue of you being reborn of God in Christ Jesus stead, you ARE, NOT WILL BE, Christ’s AMBASSADOR [AN AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST. And the mandate to showcase God’s love in Christ Jesus is in you as a default, knowingly or unknowingly. And you ARE not just God’s Diplomat only, but God’s EMBASSY, His EARTHLY residence, for you ARE the temple of the Holy Spirit, God’s dwelling place in Christ Jesus stead [1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18]; and you ARE God’s shining City at the Hill top that outshines all darkness and through whom all in darkness might locate God’s love, with assured hope, to receive the light and enlightenment that God loves gives to all in darkness, from the light of love that’s in you, in Christ Jesus stead [Matthew 5:14-16]. And being Christ’s Ambassador in love, indicates you are the living witness and epistles being seen and read of all men, to transmit the genuine LOVE of Christ Jesus, that SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS all reasoning for the good and goodness of all. And being an ambassador of the love of God guarantees you to be filled with the fulness of God, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which PASSETH [SURPASSES, TRANSCENDS] KNOWLEDGE, that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

You ARE God’s Diplomat, don’t be MISTAKEN or be ERRONEOUS as Adam-Eve. You ARE the reason why the earth was created and made; and you ARE blessed and to be a blessing in it [Isaiah 45:11-13; Psalms 8:4-8; Psalms 116:6; Genesis 12:1-3; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14]. You ARE representing the heavens on the earthly affairs, and it’s your highest calling, and must be maximise while you are having the opportunity [1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12]. It’s up to you if you want to be a genuine ambassador for Christ Jesus in promoting God’s genuinely and unadulterated love, or you want to be that wicked ambassador who is prone to be unfaithful, unscriptural, adulterated and counterfeits camouflage as God’s love in Christ Jesus.

“A WICKED MESSENGER falleth into mischief: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17.

God’s intent is that through you, His embassy and city of light, shall true love be lavishly shed abroad [beyond walls] and without sentiments, prejudice, dissimulation [John 13:34-35; John 15:12-14; Romans 5:5-8], just as true prosperity be spread abroad [Psalms 35:27; Zechariah 1:17; Joshua 1:8]. And when you take your glorious high throne place of grace unselfishly in Christ love, others will be blessed [Jeremiah 17:12]. Therefore, it’s time to ARISE, let it be for the good of others as being Christ’s ambassador of love to humanity. And the journey starts now from where you are into the ends of the earth as true witness of God’s love in Christ Jesus [Acts 1:8].

For you ARE God’s Diplomat, maximise it as being Christ’s ambassador in love, as you do life and live godly.

Be blessed in the grace to love in Christ Jesus.

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IS FOUNDED, ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST!

THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IS FOUNDED, ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST!

“For [if we ARE] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and WORKING through LOVE” Galatians 5:6/Amplified.

There’s no geographical location and situations that can stop, prevent your position and altitude in life when your FAITH WORKS BY LOVE.

I do know Faith as the mystery, the vital and legal currency and medium of exchange to access the heavens from the earth, and to give the heavenly the permission in one’s earthly affairs. Yet, you can only genuinely blossom, rejuvenate, thrive and colour your worlds anywhere and anyday with God when your ‘FAITH WORKS BY LOVE’. Love is the only beautiful gift given to us by God that’s pure, to serve others without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. Simply because Love is the lubricant that makes and ensures FAITH for effective communication, and enables us to be assured of being justified by faith and to have access by faith to our God in the grace.

“For you, my brothers, were CALLED TO FREEDOM; only DO NOT LET YOUR FREEDOM become an OPPORTUNITY for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through LOVE SERVE and SEEK the BEST for one another” Galatians 5:13/Amplified.

“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” Romans 12:9-10/Amplified.

“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.

Be it in person and general relationship, family, ministry, charitable causes, career, business, marital relationship and governance, the FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE is inevitable, indescribable and inescapable for any that desire to THRIVE and not be a SURVIVAL. For love is the ultimate, hallmark, hub, fulcrum, the most and more excellent way to express spiritual grace and endowment in Life and GODLINESS with God in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, expressing ‘THE FAITH THAT WORKS BY LOVE’, you can thrive and blossom in any weather of life: WINTER, AUTUMN, SPRING OR SUMMER.

“The earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and day and night shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

This I saw in God through Christ, that’s why I am assured and now recommend it to you and for you. I have come to know and understand today more than ever before of the graciousness and gracefulness and speed in motion when one exercise and express life through ‘The Faith That Works By Love’ in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

MONTH FEBRUARY – TRIUMPHING BY LOVE

By Leave a Comment

MONTH FEBRUARY – TRIUMPHING BY LOVE: THE LOVE THAT GIVES AND SERVES!

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

Our God is LOVE. He’s LOVE in definition, which indicates, you can’t talk of LOVE outside the person who is LOVE personified and had lavishly showed His love to us by the Holy Spirit that He had given to us by virtue of our redemption in Christ Jesus. Amen. [1 John 4:8,16; Romans 5:5, 8; John 14:16-17; John 3:16].

When I heard decades ago, the Gospel of Christ that brought about my salvation in God, in Christ Jesus, in redemption, the first thing that crosses my mind then and now, by the Gospel I heard was this – that God LOVES me. That sticks and have never gone off me for any reason or matters irrespective of the ups and downs in the onward and upward trajectory of the Christian Walk of faith in Christ Jesus.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, BUT BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER” Galatians 5:6, 13.

And more so, to know that God in His terms to ensure and authenticate the love, He GAVE up Christ Jesus for my salvation in redemption, that I might be able to be JUSTIFIED and QUALIFIED, to receive the needed FREEDOM – LIBERTY, from the grips and bandages of SIN and it’s effects which are: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH; the freedom – liberty, from which I was denied because of the subjugates rule of the devil and cohorts, that makes me then, to be without God in this world. [Ephesians 2:1-22].

Reflecting now and then that the simple Gospel I heard to get saved by God in Christ Jesus, thus indicates that God LOVES me and GAVE up Jesus Christ for my salvation in redemption; and this knowing and understanding, have left a lasting effect on my life for over 50yrs plus by God’s enabling grace. Then and now and always, I know that genuinely pure love of God means a GIVING love, and not a love that goes demanding for the love in order to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. And it thus means that one can’t live the genuinely pure love life in grace and godliness, beyond the knowledge and understanding you know and have received of God in Christ Jesus on His personified nature of LOVE as He is LOVE.

“And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles EXERCISE LORDSHIP OVER THEM, and those who EXERCISE AUTHORITY OVER THEM are called ‘BENEFACTORS.’ 26 But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is GREATEST among you, let him be as the YOUNGER, and he who GOVERNS as he who SERVES. 27 For who is GREATER, he who sits at the TABLE, or he who SERVES? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am AMONG YOU as the One who SERVES” Luke 22:25-27/NKJV [Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45].

And when I began to embarks on the journey to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God through Christ Jesus (2 Peter 3:18), and for me to personally personified the knowing of Him as my Saviour and Lord – Jesus Christ, and to make Him known by same mutual knowledge and understanding, I then discovered that His entire coming to take the humanity nature [Hebrews 2:14-15; 1 Timothy 3:16; John 1:14], to work out my salvation in my redemption and yours and for all mankind, was simply through this – to SERVE – through the passionate acts of LOVE which He lives and demonstrated for us all to follow after Him. [John 13:1-17, 34-35; Luke 22:25-27 (Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45); John 15:9-16]. And to do this act of our redemption, the scripture says, He LOVED us. Meaning, He didn’t serve outside love to REDEEMED us, He LOVED us as written:

“John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL witness, and THE FIRST BEGOTTEN of the dead, and THE PRINCE OF THE KINGS of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:4-6.

And for our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ to ensure and authenticate that the GOSPEL being PREACHED remains same as He live in it and through it, He charged that the Believer’s in Him, should continue first and foremostly, to walk in His love with same Gospel love that loves through GIVING and SERVING others in His name – for by such many will turn toward the Father God in His name. [Ephesians 5:1-2; John 13:34-35; John 15:8-16; John 8:30-32].

Apostle Paul, with the gracious insights and foresights into the  revelation of the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus, do charged the Ephesians Church in the Holy writ of [Acts 20:35], of the need to know that – it’s more of BLESSEDNESS to GIVE (be a GIVER) than to RECEIVE (be a RECEIVER); and Apostle Paul’s also wrote to the Galatians Church in the Holy writ in the context of – [Galatians 5:1, 6, 13], of the necessity to see that they don’t take their freedom – liberty in God in Christ Jesus for granted, but to ensure it and be assured that their faith in God in Christ Jesus is lubricated through LOVE and not by legalities of the religious dogmas and tradition and denominational indoctrination as per circumcision or no circumcision – and more importantly, to SERVE one another BY LOVE as in the Gospel that they have received of him in Christ Jesus stead.

In redemption, we’ve obtained a glorious triumph on the cross by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For our Redemption is a done did as expressed in the Holy writs of [2 Corinthians 2:14 and Colossians 2:8-15]; this thus indicates an act of TRIUMPHING BY LOVE as expressed in GIVING His life for our justification, and in SERVING to ensure and assure that we can live TRIUMPHANTLY as we do live in humanity and live godly for the cause of advancing God’s kingdom and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

I therefore challenge you and I today to be genuine follower of God in Christ Jesus, and WALK IN LOVE as He did for our example, through the act of GIVING and SERVING, and not of demanding and receiving or as an entitlement, if we must meaningfully fulfil purpose as enjoined in the Holy writ. [Ephesians 5:1-2; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12].

I do pray that you might be awaken in this writ for a gracious and graceful you in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, I sincerely welcome you to Month February, the month of TRIUMPHING BY LOVE that GIVES and SERVES without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. [Romans 12:9-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Matthew 5:38-48; Proverbs 16:7/Hebrews 11:6].

FEBRUARY2017: THE FAITH THAT WORKS

By Leave a Comment

FEBRUARY2017: THE FAITH THAT WORKS: EXPRESSES THROUGH LOVE!

There’s no geographical location and situations that can stop your position and altitude in life when your Faith Works by Love.

I do know Faith as the mystery, the vital & legal currency and medium of exchange to access the heavens and to give the heavenly the permission in one’s earthly affairs. Yet, you can only genuinely blossom and colour your worlds anywhere and anyday with God when your ‘Faith Works By Love’.

Be it in relationship, family, ministry, charitable causes, career, business, marital and governance, the Faith That Works By Love is inevitable and inescapable. For love is the ultimate, a most and more excellent way to express spiritual grace and endowment. Hence expressing ‘The Faith That Works By Love’, you can thrive and blossom in any weather of life: Winter, Autumn, Spring or Summer.

This I saw in God through Christ, that’s why I am assured and now recommend it to you and for you. I have come to know and understand today more than ever before of the graciousness and gracefulness and speed in motion when one exercise and express life through ‘The Faith That Works By Love’.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH which WORKETH by LOVE” (Galatians 5:6).

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and Winter, and DAY and NIGHT shall not CEASE” Genesis 8:22.

“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 15:13-15.

“A NEW commandment I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:34-35.

“Let LOVE be without HYPOCRISY. ABHOR what is EVIL. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly LOVE, in honour giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. 17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:9-21. NKJV.

“If thine ENEMY be hungry, GIVE him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, GIVE him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” Matthew 5:43-48.

THIS CHRISTMAS: It’s About God’s GREATER LOVE To You

THIS CHRISTMAS: It’s About God’s GREATER LOVE To You – And You WORTH It!

“GREATER LOVE hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his life for his friends.” (John 15:13).

There is no better way to express this most excellent way of God’s love other than this season of Christmas. This Christmas expressed genuinely the LOVE of God, which COST Him His Son Christ Jesus, and eventually COST Christ Jesus His life, on the redemptive CROSS.

“GREATER LOVE hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his life for his friends.” (John 15:13).

It was LOVE at BIRTH and LOVE at DEATH and LOVE on the THRONE for now, today and ever. It’s called, the GREATER LOVE. The love that laid down His life for those He love and will always care about.

The GREATER LOVE is a GIVING LOVE, even when someone else don’t deserve it. It’s love unspeakable, unfathomable, unimaginable and indescribable – it’s an unconditional love. It’s love without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation – hypocrisy. It’s love that surpasses and transcends human sense knowledge. The love that serves, breakthrough barriers by bridging gaps and lubricates our FAITH stands in Christ Jesus to victory and triumph. The God’s kind of love that’s expressed daily in our inner being by the Holy Spirit that dwells in us – Romans 5:5, 8; Romans 12:9-10; Galatians 5:6, 13; Ephesians 3:17-19.

And because you’re worth it, God show forth this GREATER LOVE in Christ Birth, hence you need to max every good thing this love is all about in the course of life. Let none belittle you or take you for granted. You Are Worth – This Greater Love – This Christmas, This December and afterwards.

THIS CHRISTMAS – ENJOY GOD’S GREATER LOVE

I pray for you, that God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in the GREATER LOVE in Christ Jesus stead may abound with you now and always. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“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.

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS AND THE CHURCH SERVICES

By Leave a Comment

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS AND THE CHURCH SERVICES: ENDEAVOUR TO FIND ONE NEAR YOU AND ATTEND!

What is CHRISTMAS?

This is the yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our – Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus – and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth for all mankind.

What is the CHURCH?

This is the voluntary gathering of people to FELLOWSHIP to enhance their common RELATIONSHIP in Christ Jesus with each other – and to WORSHIP and SERVE God WORTHILY and ACCEPTABLY – under a designated Shepherd – Pastor.

The service in the Church gathering highlights the CHRISTMAS:

In the MORNING service or at START of service – it is called the GATHERING or COMING TOGETHER – otherwise THE MASS Service – the Celebration and Commemoration.

“And let us CONSIDER one another to PROVOKE unto LOVE and to GOOD WORKS: 25 not FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25.

And in the EVENING gathering or at CLOSING of service it is called BENEDICTION – a time of PROFESSING, DECLARATION, PROCLAMATION and ANNOUNCING to the FAITH in Christ Jesus stead – which is the act of PRAYER in endorsing and invoking the divine Trinity. And that is ascribed in this scriptural context and injunctions in terms:

“THE GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ, and THE LOVE of God, and THE COMMUNION of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14.

It’s good to know in the scriptural context and injunctions in terms are of the 2 Corinthians 13:14, what it thus signifies:

* The GRACE – which is, the ACTS of Christ.

* The LOVE – which is The ACTS of the Father God; and

* The COMMUNION (Fellowship) – which is The ACTS of the Holy Spirit.

These BENEDICTION ACTS are often said after this manner occasionally at most Churches gatherings as a declaration, affirmation, and announcement:

“May the GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ, the LOVE of Father God and the COMMUNION of the Holy Spirit be with you” and I add this phrase to it – and those you care about – even as in this Christmas. An Amen.

I therefore employ you to endeavour to attend to the CHURCH GATHERING services near you if there’s an opening of their door of services on Christmas day. Absenteeism is not an option when you know full well that:

“SELFISHNESS makes CHRISTMAS a burden while LOVE makes CHRISTMAS an INDESCRIBABLE celebration and commemoration of PEACE, HOPE, FAITH, JOY and GOODWILL to all mankind” Amen.

Blessed regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
