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.

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.

OCCUPY TILL I COME IN GIVING: FOR GOD’S LOVED-WORLD IS A GIVING WORLD! 

“For God so LOVED the WORLD that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16. 

God’s LOVED-WORLD is an awesome world of LOVE – therefore, don’t be SELFISH about it. To many, the opposite of LOVE may be HATE or HATRED. On the contrary, in God’s scriptural kingdom, LOVE’S opposite is SELFISHNESS – being selfish, covetous, hoarding and greedy. 

“GIVE, and it shall be GIVEN unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men GIVE into your bosom. For with the SAME MEASURE that ye mete withal it shall be MEASURED to you again” Luke 6:38. 

The LOVED-WORLD of God is made to be liveable, likeable, loveable and enjoyable because of the act of GIVING that takes place every now and then. For example, the plants GIVE out oxygen to RECEIVE or TAKE IN carbon dioxide for their photosynthesis. In same scenario are humans and all living creation. We GIVE out carbon dioxide and TAKE IN oxygen to keep our human body alive and life in check. This cycle keeps life going every day. It is a GIVING world; hence it is LOVED-WORLD, and it is LIKEABLE, LIVEABLE, LOVEABLE, REACHABLE, INDESCRIBABLE and ENJOYABLE  

God so LOVED, He GAVE! Genuine LOVE GIVES. Where God’s LOVE is, GIVING goes along. Giving could be in the form of giving once TIME, FINANCE, PHYSIQUE (STRENGTH), TALENT/SKILL, PROTECTION [DEFEND], VISITATION, MATERIAL GIFT, SPIRITUAL CARE and such likes and MORE, to the needy and vulnerable ONE especially. To authenticate and ensure that God’s LOVE that saves us from sin keeps abounding in us by grace, our Father God abundantly and lavishly GAVE us the Holy Spirit of LOVE, to ensure that the DNA of love is embedded in us as default to live and do life in love. Thus, indicating that everyone born of God in Christ Jesus is carrying the default of love, irrespective of circumstances, except the individual chooses and decides to live otherwise against the true being in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

“Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s LOVE has been ABUNDANTLY POURED out within OUR HEARTS through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us . . . 8 But God clearly shows and proves His own LOVE for us, by the fact that while we were STILL SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8/Amplified. 

It is MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE, for givers NEVER go down no matter what. This I know so well. Hence you see that the hand of the giver is always above and over the recipient’s hands to receive. That is the kingdom principle which also works in the natural world. Make yourself a living giver today, propelled by love and not by pride and arrogance, nor by sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. 

Therefore, do a self-check and be a GIVER today: For God’s LOVED world is a GIVING world – and our passion to help people when they are falling should outweigh our intent to crucify them when they fall – THERE’S NO ROOM FOR SELFISHNESS, HOARDING AND WITHHOLDING to enjoy the unspeakable gift of joy of God that’s in Christ Jesus stead. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For God so LOVED the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16. 

“I have shown you in every way, by labouring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECIEVE” Acts 20:35. 

“There is that SCATTERETH, and yet INCREASETH; and there is that WITHHOLDETH more than is meet, but it tendeth to POVERTY. 25 The LIBERAL soul shall be MADE fat: and he that WATERETH shall be WATERED also himself. 26 He that WITHHOLDETH corn, the people shall CURSE him: but BLESSING shall be upon the HEAD of him that SELLETH it” Proverbs 11:24-26. 

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

SUMMARY: 

Central Thesis: God designed the world and His kingdom to operate by love expressed through giving. Selfishness, hoarding, and withholding are the true opposites of love and block both natural and kingdom blessing. Every believer carries a default of love by the Holy Spirit and is called to live as a giver — in time, strength, resources, and compassion — because “it is more blessed to give than to receive.” 

  1. Kingdom Mandate: Occupy by Giving

The exhortation opens with Luke 19:13 — “Occupy till I come” — but reframes it as “Occupy till I come in giving.” John 3:16 anchors the entire message: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.” God’s nature is love, and love proves itself by giving. Therefore, God’s world is a “loved world” and a “giving world” by design. 

  1. Doctrinal Correction: Love’s True Opposite

Culturally, people assume love’s opposite is hate or hatred. The message corrects this biblically: In God’s scriptural kingdom, love’s opposite is selfishness — manifested as being selfish, covetous, hoarding, and greedy. 1 Corinthians 13:5 underlies this: “love seeketh not her own.” Selfishness is the anti-kingdom posture; hate is the fruit, but selfishness is the root. 

  1. Natural Law Confirms Kingdom Law: The Cycle of Giving

Creation itself illustrates the principle. Plants give oxygen and take in carbon dioxide; humans do the reverse. This cycle keeps life going daily. The world is “liveable, likeable, loveable, reachable, indescribable and enjoyable” because giving and receiving are built into it. Luke 6:38 is cited: “Give, and it shall be given unto you… with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” What works in nature is also kingdom principle. 

  1. The Default of Love in Every Believer

Romans 5:5, 8 explains how: God saved us by love, then abundantly poured His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. This embeds the “DNA of love” as default in everyone born of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore every believer carries the capacity for love irrespective of circumstance, unless they choose to live contrary to their true being in Christ. Genuine love gives — it is not theoretical. 

  1. Forms of Giving + Attitude of Giving

Giving is broad: time, finance, physique/strength, talent/skill, protection/defense, visitation, material gift, spiritual care, and more — especially to the needy and vulnerable. The attitude matters: be propelled by love, not by pride, arrogance, sentiments, prejudice, or dissimulation. Acts 20:35 is quoted: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” The giver’s hand is always above the recipient’s hand. Proverbs 11:24-26 confirms: the liberal soul shall be made fat; he that watereth shall be watered himself, while withholding leads to poverty and curse. 

  1. Compassion Over Condemnation: No Room for Selfishness

The writer confronts a critical heart issue: our passion to help people when they are falling should outweigh our intent to crucify them when they fall. There is no room for selfishness, hoarding, and withholding if we want to enjoy the “unspeakable gift of joy of God that is in Christ Jesus’ stead” 2 Corinthians 9:15. Hebrews 6:10-12 reinforces: God does not forget work and love shown in ministering to His people. We are called to diligence and to imitate those who inherit promises through faith and patience. 

Key Scriptures Anchoring the Message 

  • John 3:16: God’s love is proven by giving His Son 
  • Luke 6:38: Giving/receiving law of measure 
  • Romans 5:5, 8: Love of God poured into hearts by Holy Spirit; Christ died for us while sinners 
  • Acts 20:35: It is more blessed to give than to receive 
  • Proverbs 11:24-26: Liberal soul made fat; withholding leads to poverty 
  • Hebrews 6:10-12: God remembers ministering in love; imitate faith and patience 

Tone & Call to Action 

Tone: Urgent, weighty, doctrinal, and corrective. It is both teaching and exhortation. 
Call: Do a self-check. Reject selfishness, covetousness, hoarding, greed. Choose to be a “living giver” today because God’s loved-world operates on giving. 

In one sentence: The message declares that because God is love and He gave His Son, His world and kingdom function by giving; therefore, believers must reject selfishness as love’s true opposite, embrace the Holy Spirit’s embedded default of love, and occupy their lives as givers in every form, knowing giving is the blessed kingdom principle that keeps one above.

LIVING IN A WORLD WITHOUT GOD

By Leave a Comment

LIVING IN A WORLD WITHOUT GOD: GOD’S LOVED-WORLD – THE ONLY POSSIBLE ANTIDOTE TO THE HATE AND INJUSTICE WE SEE EVERYDAY!

“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.

There’s evil, oppression and wickedness in the world. And the perpetrators oof these wickedness makes gains daily toward their craft and the undermining of others to their crafted advantage. Except Gods intervention is sorted, these evil and the perpetrators will know no bounds until probably the inevitable death that’s common to all men, catches up with them early enough before their acts becomes unbearable. And God in the light of the scriptures of Galatians 1:3-5, is determined to DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD by His own scriptural context. And the answer is in His love to the world. For God’s LOVED-WORLD, is the ANTIDOTE to the hate, wickedness, prejudice, sentiments, dissimulation and injustice in the unjust world about us all. And it’s the possible ANSWER to all the evil and wickedness around us; for it’s in God’s loved world that we can actualise the reality of living purposefully and meaningfully for the good of OTHERS beyond us in Christ Jesus stead.

“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.

In a world full of the UNDOING of others for selfishness, greed, wickedness, evil and such like by some across the board [Colleagues, Friends, Family, Community, Society and Nation against Nation in the world], there’s another side to it, there’s the earnest desires in thirst and hunger for LOVE in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; for an environment where injustice, hatred, evil, selfishness, wickedness and perversions of all sorts exist, what human hearts need is a loving friend and friendship to avert such perversion of WICKEDNESS and EVIL as we see daily within our vicinity and abode.

And in God’s loved world, we respond by the Word to the indifference about us, we don’t react to it by our senses [feel, taste, smell, feel, see], especially to the injustice, evil, wickedness and such like about us; otherwise, we may end up being hurt, hate, bitter, unforgiving,  depressed, fear phobia and such like as those that are pleasuring in perpetuating the whole scenario for selfishness and senselessness.

God has promised to see you through in LOVE, in His LOVED WORLD from the present EVIL DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD as in the Holy Writ – ‘HOLY ‘BIBLE’, which I term as the – “BLESSED INFORMATION BRINGING LIFE ETERNAL”. And God has ENSURED and COMMENDED us to the Holy Spirit of love, to make it possible in 24/7, to love too in the face of adverse uncertainty as it’s written:

“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.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.

Jesus had made the act to love a COMMAND and not an ADVICE. God will only commend what He commands, therefore let God’s love rule your day as you take on with people. It is in this act of living and walking in God’s love shall you be known as a Follower of Christ, not by religious gimmicks and oblations.

“A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE TO YOU, that you LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that you also LOVE one another.  35 By this all will know that you are MY DISCIPLES, if you have LOVE for one another” John 13:34-35.

LET GOD’S LOVE RULE AND REIGN IN AND THROUGH YOU TO – OUR HATE AND EVIL WORLD OF DARKNESS IN GOD’S GRACIOUSNESSS, GRACEFULNESS AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

Living without God’s love in the world, is living a lifeless, hopeless and faithless and fruitless living. Get into God’s love world and make a difference for the wholesome and wholeness that we all deserve in doing life and living godly in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Every grace and blessings in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

GOD’S LOVED WORLD – THE ANTIDOTE – POSSIBLE BY THE WORD FOR THE EVIL, HATE AND WICKED WORLD

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“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.

“Let LOVE be without DISSIMULATION (HYPOCRISY). 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 . . .17 RECOMPENSE TO NO MAN EVIL FOR EVIL. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 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 Emphasis Mine.

“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, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH: 39 but I say unto you, THAT YE RESIST NOT EVIL: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43 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 5:38-48.

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS . . . THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE IS AT WORK

By Leave a Comment

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS . . . THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE IS AT WORK: EMPOWER YOUR CHRISTMAS LOVE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AS GOD DID IN CHRIST JESUS!

“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.

The celebration and commemoration of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus birth and His redemption cause on earth for all humanity, is what Christmas, and this Christmas in this December, is all about. And the Holy Spirit led and empowered LOVE of God in Christ Jesus, doesn’t DEMAND for LOVE, it rather GIVES and LAVISHES the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus to all and sundry – unreservedly, uncompromisingly and without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.

And when in THIS CHRISTMAS . . . THIS DECEMBER, the love of God is expressed and empowered by the Holy Spirit that’s given to us to live in the fulness of God’s grace in Christ Jesus [Romans 5:5, 8], you can be sure and certain of that peace of God that flood, guard and garrison one’s hearts without fears and equally transcends, surpasses and passes human love senses knowledge that’s limited in all context of doing life and living godly toward God and toward mankind. [Philippians 4:6-7; 1 John 4:17-18; 2 Timothy 1:6-7; Acts 24:16].

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 to an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD and HATE WORLD questions. And that’s the reason for you to KNOW and EMBRACE the love of God in Christ Jesus, that SURPASSES, TRANSCENDS and PASSES all human senses love knowledge as written.

“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 (TRANSCENDS, SURPASSED)  knowledge (FIVE SENSE), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19 (Emphasis Mine).

More of God’s love in Christ Jesus is characterised and summed up in the Holy writ of 1 Corinthians 13. It’s all possible by the working of the indwelling Spirit of love that’s given to us – for the Holy Spirit is shed and poured in our hearts – the subconscious spirit man, to ensure that we triumph always through LOVE, in all that pertains to doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [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 live through and above the knowledge of the hate, selfishness, evil, wickedness, war and violence that we see today and everywhere between and among – friends, families, relationship, colleagues, community’s, nation’s and the world society at large. God’s love empowered by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus, is the only de facto to help us to transcend and surpass the human knowledge-based kind of love, which is of the SENSES – which is, of what we See, Smell, Feel, Taste and Hear respectively. Ephesians 3:16-19.

Living by God’s LOVED WORLD setting, is the ANSWER to the SPHERE and QUESTIONS of an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD and HATE WORLD TODAY. The genuine LOVE of God that’s empowered by the Holy Spirit is PURE and REFRESHING, hence it’s called – AGAPE LOVE.

Know full well that LOVE is a mystery and not mystical. For God is Love. God is a mystery and not mystical. His LOVE is practicable, liveable, reachable and loveable, for it’s EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to us as said severally. [Romans 5:5, 8]. And the Holy Spirit person is a mystery to only them and those who don’t know Him in His Love. For He is the one outworking God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus us, and His LOVE is PURE, TRUE, REFRESHING, REJUVENATING and BLOSSOMING as any other fruit of the Spirit – [Galatians 5:22-23].

And God’s LOVE is beautiful, unquestionable, unspeakable, incomprehensible, impeccable, immeasurable and indescribable; and it is a gracious and graceful GIFT that is shared in our hearts by the Holy Spirit; and it’s GIVEN to us to SHARE alike in Christ Jesus stead. God’s LOVE is genuine and involves laying down ones life for the other to keep it alive and refreshing. [John 13:34-35; John 15:9-14; 1 John 2-4].

LOVE – is the BEAUTIFUL GIFT, given to us to SHARE in grace by faith [Galatians 5:6]. It’s about LOVING GOD FIRST, and LOVING OTHERS in His LOVE, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. More so, because Love in context is powered by the Holy Spirit, you can’t help but for you to keep on keeping on, loving again and again and again . . . without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation with this genuine and truly LOVE to make your love of God in Christ Jesus to be refreshing, liveable, loveable, reachable and practicable – for LOVE is the most EXCELLENT WAY, the gracious and graceful act in DOING LIFE TOGETHER in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 12:31].

The greater love of God, is the only genuine LOVE that’s PURE and REFRESHING and called is AGAPE LOVE – the unconditional love. And it transcends and surpasses human SENSE knowledge love by every measure and context as it’s beyond all comprehension.

Therefore I say to you by God’s kind of LOVE – the AGAPE LOVE, which is EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit of Love, through God’s WORD, in our human spirit, that you should let your Christmas, this Christmas in this December, to be led and empowered by the Holy Spirit of love.

BLESSED AND MERRY CHRISTMAS IN GOD’S LOVE, IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD BY THE Holy SPIRIT. AMEN.

“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 4:17-18.

OCCUPY TILL I COME – IN GIVING: FOR GOD’S LOVED WORLD – IS A GIVING WORLD!

“For God so LOVED the WORLD that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

God’s LOVED WORLD is an awesome world of LOVE – therefore, don’t be SELFISH about it. To many the opposite of LOVE may be HATE or HATRED. On the contrary, in God’s scriptural kingdom, LOVE’s opposite is SELFISHNESS – being selfish, covetous, hoarding and greedy.

“GIVE, and it shall be GIVEN unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men GIVE into your bosom. For with the SAME MEASURE that ye mete withal it shall be MEASURED to you again” Luke 6:38.

The LOVED-WORLD of God is made to be liveable, likeable, loveable and enjoyable because of the act of GIVING that takes place every now and then. For example, plants GIVES out oxygen to RECEIVE or TAKE IN carbon dioxide for their photosynthesis. In the same scenario are humans and all living creations. We GIVE out carbon dioxide and TAKE IN oxygen to keep our human body alive and to keep life in check. This cycle keeps life going everyday. It’s a GIVING world, hence it’s LOVED-WORLD and it’s LIKEABLE, LIVEABLE, LOVEABLE, REACHABLE, INDESCRIBABLE and ENJOYABLE

God so LOVE, He GAVE. Genuine LOVE GIVES. Where God’s LOVE is, GIVING goes along. Giving could be in the form of once TIME, FINANCE, PHYSIQUE (strength), TALENT, VISITATIONS, MATERIAL GIFT, SPIRITUAL CARE and such like and more to the needy one.

For it’s MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE, for givers NEVER go down no matter what, this I know so well, and that’s the kingdom principles which also work in the natural world. I saw it in my parents as a child and now live experiencing it daily.

“I have shown you in every way, by labouring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECIEVE” Acts 20:35.

Therefore, Do a self-check and be a GIVER today: For God’s LOVED world is a GIVING world – and our passion to help people when they are falling should outweigh our intent to crucify them when they fall – THERE’S NO ROOM FOR SELFISHNESS, HOARDING AND WITHHOLDING in order to enjoy the unspeakable gift of God’s given joy that’s in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

“There is that SCATTERETH, and yet INCREASETH; and there is that WITHHOLDETH more than is meet, but it tendeth to POVERTY. 25 The LIBERAL soul shall be MADE fat: and he that WATERETH shall be WATERED also himself. 26 He that WITHHOLDETH corn, the people shall CURSE him: but BLESSING shall be upon the HEAD of him that SELLETH it” Proverbs 11:24-26.

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