THE DIVINE LOVE OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE DIVINE LOVE OF GOD – VERSUS – THE LOVE OF THE FIVE SENSES!

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

There’s THE DIVINE LOVE OF GOD, which is of God and God PERSONIFIED; and there’s THE LOVE OF THE FIVE SENSES which results from and it’s about what we SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL and TOUCH/FEEL to know and understand it, in it’s context. And such sensual or senses love can’t fathom THE DIVINE GOD, and His divinity as THE GOD OF LOVE and LOVE PERSONIFIED. Neither can it be compared by any measured to THE GOD KIND OF DIVINE LOVE irrespective.

Hence, there’s the need to KNOW The LOVE of Christ, which SURPASSES, SUPERCEDES and TRANSCENDS SENSE KNOWLEDGE; and that’s if you must make sense of God’s default and personified divine LOVE. The divine love of God gives and serves – it’s a GIVING love and serving love, meaning, it does not DEMAND to be love because the embodiment is love and love personified, and it lavishly gives and serves LOVE unconditionally. And divine love in virtue, is a COMMENDED love because of what Christ Jesus is done for us by His love in our REDEMPTION in Him.

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

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

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

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

** It’s limited and

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

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

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

** It’s based on conditionality in expression

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

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

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“. . . 17 So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the WIDTH and LENGTH and HEIGHT and DEPTH of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES [mere] (SENSE) knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself] . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21. Amplified. Emphasis Mine.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

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

YOU’VE BEING MADE A MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS

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.

There’s the need today to go back to the basic foundation and fundamental principles 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 but not limited are:

* 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.

WE ARE BEING MADE A MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS IT’S ONLY HAVE BEEN MADE POSSIBLE BY GOD’S LOVE THAT’S EMBEDDED IN US.

“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).

LOVING IS LIVING: DIVINE LOVE

By Leave a Comment

LOVING IS LIVING: DIVINE LOVE – GIVES A MORE EXCELLENT WAY!

“But covet EARNESTLY the BEST gifts: and yet shew I unto you A MORE EXCELLENT WAY . . .” 1 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.

Stop struggling to love. You are not born of God to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL in love. You are born of God to THRIVE, BLOSSOM and COLOUR your worlds of doing life and living godly in love. We are born of God in Christ Jesus by the WORD, to radiate His LOVE that He lavishly shared and poured into our hearts – the human spirit, by the Holy Spirit that dwells in us. For GOD IS LOVE and as such, LOVE is of God. And LOVING is LIVING.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY GHOST WHICH IS GIVEN UNTO US” Romans 5:5.

“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.] . . . 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” 1 John 4:8, 16/Amplified.

The most excellent way to enjoy and express God’s love, is the resolve to be the love GIVER  than to DEMAND for love. Genuine LOVE GIVES, it doesn’t DEMANDS, and what makes a unique or the unique difference between  anyone is this knowing and understanding – IT’S MORE BLESSED TO GIVE [LOVE] THAN TO RECEIVE [LOVE] – that’s why our God it’s an outstanding in all His ways – ever loving even when He’s unloved and unaccepted. CAN’T YOU LIVE IN SAME LIKE SPHERE AS HIS OWN IN CHRIST JESUS? [Romans 5:5, 8; Acts 20:35; Ephesians 3:17-19; John 13:34-35; John 15:9-16; 1 John 3:11-24; 1 Corinthians 14:1; 1 Peter 4:8]. For God so LOVE, He GAVE love without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation in Christ Jesus – [John 3:16; Romans 12:9].

And until you resolve to be the love GIVER, rather than the one that DEMANDS for love, you will struggle to express love in an EXCELLENT way. And the EXCELLENT way of genuine living is emboldened in DIVINE LOVE. And it’s WORTH, SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS way beyond all human reasoning – SENSES – by what you do smell, see, taste, hear and feel/touch. [Ephesians 3:17-19].

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you A MORE EXCELLENT WAY . . .” 1 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.

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

“I have SHEWED you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE” Acts 20:35.

“Beloved, let us LOVE one another: FOR LOVE IS OF GOD; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; FOR GOD IS LOVE. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might LIVE through him . . . 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 HEREIN IS OUR LOVE MADE PERFECT, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR IN LOVE; BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: BECAUSE FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that feareth is not made perfect in love . . .” 1 John 4:7-21.

“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 hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY GHOST WHICH IS GIVEN UNTO US” Romans 5:5.

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may ABIDE WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it SEETH him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17.

“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.

“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.

“LET LOVE BE WITHOUT DISSIMULATION. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with BROTHERLY LOVE; in honour preferring one another . . . 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:9-21 [Proverbs 25:21-22; Matthew 5:38-48].

“Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath LOVED me, so have I LOVED you: CONTINUE YE IN MY LOVE. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE IN MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 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. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not CHOSEN me, but I have CHOSEN you, and ORDAINED you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” John 15:8-16.

The FAITH That WORKS: OPERATES In LOVE!

The FAITH That WORKS: OPERATES In LOVE!

“For [if we ARE] in Christ Jesus NEITHER circumcision NOR uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and WORKING THROUGH LOVE . . . 13 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 5:6, 13/Amplified.

The FAITH that WORKS it’s found in them that LOVES God. Do you LOVE God? The reason being this: ALL THINGS will always WORK for those who LOVES God as they walk in the Kingdom Cause of God’s PURPOSE for them. Meaning,  they are addicted to walk in OBEDIENCE to God’s WORD to win life battles through FAITH (1John 5:3-5). FOR GOD WILL ALWAYS COMMEND WHAT HE COMMAND.

For FAITH works by LOVE. Until LOVE is enthroned in our hearts, in our day to day dealings with God and others, in RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – there will always be a struggle in attaining to the FREEDOM we seek.

For LOVE is the summation of the LAW, and it’s unparalleled to the bondages of bye laws, traditions, oblations, creeds and dogmas of man-made enclaves to reach or please God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore – SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

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.

“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” Romans 8:28.

“Owe no man any thing, but to LOVE one another: FOR HE THAT LOVETH ANOTHER HATH FULFILLED THE LAW. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 LOVE worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore LOVE is the FULFILLING OF THE LAW” Romans 13:8-10.

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

“Now the end of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE heart, and of a GOOD conscience, and of FAITH unfeigned” 1 Timothy 1:5.

“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:12-14.

“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.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep his COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS (BURDENSOME TASKMASTER IRKSOME)” 1 John 5:3.

“And he answering said, Thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with all thy HEART, and with all thy SOUL, and with all thy STRENGTH, and with all thy MIND; and thy NEIGHBOUR as thyself” Luke 10:27.

WISDOM NUGGETS – TO MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD

By Leave a Comment

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 remind 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 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.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“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 unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“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.

MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD: BY ABOUNDING IN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE!

“But let us, who are of the day, be sober, PUTTING ON THE BREASTPLATE of FAITH and LOVE; and for AN HELMET, the HOPE of salvation” 1 Thessalonians 5:8.

May your ENDEAVOURS to abound in FAITH, HOPE and LOVE, glow, be inflame and ablaze by the WORKING of your FAITH and may in all of your LABOUR of LOVE and PATIENCE in HOPE account for your good and goodness, in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

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.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

AFD FEBRUARY 2024 EDITION

WELCOME TO MONTH FEBRUARY 2024: THE MONTH OF – “TRIUMPHING BY LOVE” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Be on guard; stand firm in your faith [in God, respecting His precepts and keeping your doctrine sound]. Act like [mature] men and be courageous; be strong. 14 LET EVERYTHING YOU DO BE DONE IN LOVE [motivated and inspired by God’s LOVE for us]” 1 Corinthians 16:13-14/Amplified

It’s time to TRIUMPH by the LOVE that GIVES and SERVES, rather than by the LOVE that DEMANDS and RECEIVES and equally lives on ENTITLEMENT as a rights on others. You need to know that it’s written in the Holy writ, that it’s more BLESSED for you and I to GIVE than to RECEIVE. Knowing full well that our Father God so LOVES us, that He GAVE, as a living demonstration that indicates the awesomeness, graciousnesss and gracefulness of genuine love. For a genuine LOVE is a GIVING love and a SERVING love unlike the selfish and self-centred love that’s of a demanding, receiving and entitling love – the love that limits one’s potential to do life and live godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. [Acts 20:35; John 3:16; Galatians 5:13].

My task this month is to challenge us in our intent by asking this question:

** How will you demonstrate and manifest the God kind of LOVE this Month FEBRUARY 2024 and onwards?

** Are you going to manifest, demonstrate and ensured the LOVE that’s makes you a GIVER and SERVER of love in menus of doing life and living godly or the one whose love in menus, is that which is a DEMANDER and RECEIVER and ENTITLEMENT in perspective?

The choices of the onward and upward trajectory to thrive in TRIUMPH and in daily TRIUMPHANT living, is yours to make and determine if you will operate by the love of God that goes beyond PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead.

I strongly beckoned on you to awake to KNOW THE LOVE of God that’s beyond human sensual reasoning – meaning, that SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS the flesh and senses of what you – see, smell, taste, feel or touch, and hear as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead [Ephesians 3:17-19]. It’s a high and higher time to WALK IN THE LOVE that GIVES and SERVES rather than the love that belittles you knowingly and unknowingly by the act of demanding and receiving kinds of love mentality.

We mustn’t forget that Jesus Christ, our saviour and Lord in humanity, left us lots of living examples to follow in His stead, to enable us live TRIUMPHANTLY as He did. Firstly, He loves to the end His worker’s – the Disciples (witness /witnesses) that turned Apostles (messenger/representatives) in the cause of time [John 13:1-2; 30-31]; He instructed us to love our enemies and pray for them in love irrespective – [Matthew 5:38-48]; He instructed us to live and walk in Love, for thereby others may see us as His followers and living epistles of the word and then seek after our God in Him – [John 13:1-2, 34-35; John 15:8-14]. What a profound legacy for us in humanity. That makes us inexcusable in every measures.

It’s a high time that you begin a new journey  of an onward and upward trajectory, to enable you to experience and walk in the  LOVE of God, which is the hallmark and the more excellent way to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead triumphantly – and that’s by the – GIVING LOVE and SERVING LOVE – in Christ Jesus. Amen [Ephesians 5:1-2; 1 Corinthians 12:31].

Genuine love is about GIVING and SERVING others irrespective. And it’s time to think and act differently in matters of God’s kind of love, which always it’s about the terms of – SERVICE or SERVING and GIVING. Thus indicates that whenever the word – LOVE – runs through your inner subconscious being, think and act – GIVING and SERVING and not DEMANDING and TAKING (RECEIVING) and ENTITLEMENT.

The genuine TRIUMPHANT LOVE of God – DOESN’T DEMAND for LOVE; it instead, GIVES LOVE, SERVES LOVE – and by LOVE and in LOVE, it LOVES others irrespective. TRIUMPHANT LOVE, is a LOVE GIVING and LOVE SERVING love by the act of LOVE in everything about all it’s operations in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 16:13-14; John 3:16; Ephesians 5:1-2]. And TRIUMPHING BY LOVE, is the MOST and MORE EXCELLENT WAY to live and do life with God together and with others in humanity, and under God’s kingdom causes, to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. [1 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13:1-13].

I pray that you come to know of a fact that it’s also possible you can GIVING, SERVING and RENDERING services to others – [meaning it’s possible to give, serve and render services] WITHOUT LOVE, but you CAN’T be a carrier, representative and vessel of God’s genuine kingdom minded person that’s TRIUMPHING BY LOVE without being captivated with the GIVING, SERVING and RENDERING of the services of in grace – [meaning you can’t love without being a giver and server and renderer of services]. For the Love of God is more than just to give (giving) and to take (taking) as some may think in their concept of give and take world; but it’s purely in the GIVING as in [John 3:16; Acts 20:35]; and also in the SERVING as in  [Galatians 5:13], as it’s written, it’s more BLESSED to GIVE in love than to RECEIVE; and to SERVE one another by love, in the grace, irrespective. [Acts 20:35; Galatians 5:6, 13].

Know also that, the scenario and idea of rendering CHARITY on CHARITABLE CAUSES can’t be attributed genuinely as God’s love or people’s loving others, simply because SERVICES attributed to love are rendered. People will do anything to fill up the statuesque of love, for their own selfish reasons – and sometimes it could be to probably avoid paying their shared taxes to the state in the name of doing charitable cause, thereby evade their responsibility and accountability, or for some is to gain applaud and hypes opportunities for popularity from the vulnerable for political or position purposes, or for some to win and blindfolds someone else’s hearts for selfish gratifications in exchange, or for some to give them the enabling to control, manipulate, oppress and gain upper hands popularity over others, or for some and many such like – it’s the reason which is best known to the cause of such act to express their hypothetical, prejudice and sentimental and hypocritical act of giving and serving to indicates a dislike to others in their faces.

However, when services [serving and giving] it’s genuine, and TRIUMPHING BY LOVE engineered, you see flawless and the gracious characteristics and concept wherein prejudice, sentiment and dissimulation are kept at bay intentionally and pragmatically for the good of all [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:8-15].

Make it your signature today that the hallmark and the more excellent way of ensuring in you TRIUMPHING BY LOVE is known through – GIVING and SERVING – the rendering SERVICE to others, in the love of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And to know  that – God is love. And He wants us to live out His nature in full as Jesus Christ did in humanity. And that it’s possible when we allow the Holy Spirit of promised that He had given us to make it possible and to help us take charge and control of realisation and to bring triumphing by love to fruition in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Romans 5:5; John 14:16-17; 1 John 4:4, 6, 8, 16, 18].

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you will manifest and genuinely live TRIUMPHANTLY, thereby TRIUMPHING BY LOVE in everything, and everywhere, and everyway, by God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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.
