Do you always take stock on God’s WORD? and do it in LOVE? Yea. GREAT. However it’s summed up in this – LOVING to DO God’s WORD of commands in LOVE is a hallmark of doing the WORD effortlessly and without sweat and guilt; and considering always that God’s WORD, is not IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKED, TROUBLESOME, HARD and DIFFICULT to practice in a loving approach.

It must be noted that God is not a taskmaster, hence His commands are not an advice, they are genuine, real and empowering to help and give leverage in living and doing life in all circumstances.

A WILLING and OBEDIENT hearts of LOVE towards God’s WORD, it’s all it takes and not as DUTY hearts as if God is a TASKMASTER that have TASKED you with an obligation He knows it’s impossible for you and any to do so that, He might punish you to suit Himself well and good.

Therefore, taking STOCK on God’s WORD in LOVE, and LOVING to DO God’s WORD in LOVE – not as a BURDEN – MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

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

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

MIRRORING GOD’S LOVE

MIRRORING GOD’S LOVE: IN THE EYES OF CHRIST!

Mirroring God’s Love: How do you and how are you doing it? Is it through the eyes of your denominational Church by-laws, in the world definition or through the eyes of Christ in the light of the Scriptures?

If you do mirror your essence of God’s love in order to do life through the eyes of the church by-laws or the world definition as seen in today’s view, I promised you this verily, that you will be stigmatised, lock in dogmas, creed, self-centred and eventually – bondage and captivity of all sorts, which may seems good in human eyes of perception but not before God of Love.

But if you mirror God’s love from and through the saving gracious eyes of Christ in order to do life, I can verily promise you, that you will be liberated from all forms of bondage, captivity and eventually- a Wholeheartedly Wholeness – spirit, soul and body- will take hold of you.

Genuine freedom is seeing God’s love from Christ’s if you dare desire to genuinely live free and in grace and in God’s WORD.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

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

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

DISCIPLINE THROUGH GOD’S MIRROR OF LOVE

By Leave a Comment

DISCIPLINE THROUGH GOD’S MIRROR OF LOVE: It’s God’s LOVE PACT For His REDEEMED Children!

Living and walking in God’s love also connotes, endorses, embraces and embodies the act of being DISCIPLINE. Meaning God will discipline any of His REDEEMED children whom He loves, in order to bring out His very best in them and to give them the living worth they crave. This is part of the LOVE PACT of God.

The reason being that the redemptive LIBERTY, that is, the FREEDOM in Christ Jesus is not an OCCASION for one to live and walk in the flesh or sin, instead, it’s to LIVE and WALK in GOD’S LOVE. Simply put, there’s nothing like or as ‘it doesn’t matter what I do, as long as God loves me’. NO, it does matter, because those that God LOVES, He DISCIPLINE them, except they are bastards or illegitimate children, which you are not.

“For consider Him who ENDURED such HOSTILITY from sinners against Himself, lest you become WEARY and DISCOURAGED in your souls. 4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not DESPISE the CHASTENING of the Lord, Nor be DISCOURAGED when you are REBUKED by Him; 6 For whom the Lord LOVES He CHASTENS, And SCOURGES every son whom He RECEIVES. 7 If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN? 8 But if you are without CHASTENING, of which all have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have had HUMAN fathers who CORRECTED us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more READILY be in SUBJECTION to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed for a few days CHASTENED us as seemed best to them, but He for our PROFIT, that we may be PARTAKERS of His holiness. 11 Now no CHASTENING seems to be JOYFUL for the present, but PAINFUL; nevertheless, afterward it yields the PEACEABLE fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” Hebrews 12:3-11.

“STAND FAST therefore in the LIBERTY wherewith Christ hath MADE US FREE, and be not ENTANGLED again with the YOKE OF BONDAGE . . . For, brethren, ye have been called unto LIBERTY; only use not liberty for an OCCASION to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye BITE and DEVOUR one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law” Galatians 5:1, 13-18.

There’s POWER To FUNCTION In LOVE

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

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

God’s Love it’s of the Human Hearts by the precious and blessed Holy Spirit; outside it, is PERVERTS, hence no man can genuinely love as Scripturally demands.

There’s the need to MANIFEST and DEMONSTRATE God’s kind of Love to this generation and dispensation. A world full of LOVE PERVERTS that’s indescribable in lusts and affections, hatred, evil and wickedness.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Think about it. I know that very much. Do you?

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

Further Scriptural Reading: Romans 8:19, 28; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; 1 John 5:3; Hebrews 10:25; 1 Timothy 3:14-17.

Loved World

Loved World – Is A Giving World!

God’s Loved World! To many the opposite of love may be hate or hatred. In the kingdom, love opposite is selfishness or being selfish.

The Loved World of God, is made liveable, likeable and enjoyable because of the act of giving that takes place every now and then. For example, the plants gives out oxygen to receive carbon dioxide for their photosynthesis. Same are the humans and all living creation. We give out carbon dioxide and take in oxygen to keep life in check. This cycle keeps life going everyday. It’s a giving world, hence it’s LovedWorld – Likeable, Liveable and Enjoyable!

God so love, He gave! Love gives. Where God’s love is, giving goes along. Giving could be in the form of once time, finance, physique (strength), talent, visitation, material gift and more to the needy one.

It’s more blessed to give than to receive, for givers never goes down no matter what; That’s the kingdom principles which also work in the natural world.

Do a self-check and be a giver today!

“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.”

“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 receive.”

He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also” 1 John 4:17-21.

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“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 casts out fear, because FEAR involves TORMENT. But he who FEARS has not been MADE PERFECT IN LOVE” 1 John 4:18.

“In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love [dread does not exist]. But PERFECT (complete, full-grown) love drives out FEAR, because Fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is AFRAID [of God’s judgment] is not PERFECTED in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]” 1 John 4:17-18 (Amplified).

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:7.

“For God did not GIVE us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7 (Amplified).

Living & Walking In Love!

By Leave a Comment

JUNE 2015 – Living & Walking In Love!

Talking about LOVE! Here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we have love, but we do live and walk in love, knowing that love is of God; and it’s the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind.

Love is an attitude, a deliberate choice, an exercise of the will, a choice of life and is not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature of God. It is spiritual, divinely inspired and imbedded in the very hearts of all God’s human creation, and more importantly in the very nature of the redeemed child of God. Hence it’s not a doctrine, creed and dogmas. It outlived generation because it’s timeless and of God’s. God is love – 1 John 4:7–10.

Love is a fruit and not a gift. Fruits are grown while gifts are imparted. Genuine Bible love – Agape – is born and is a product of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9).

Let’s consider love in diversity for a clearer understanding of the kind of love being implied in this context.

Three main kinds of love:

1. Phileo: Grk (of the soul) – Love relationship in family – between parent and child. The Family kind of love. It means to be fond of; it is based on feelings and not on principle. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is human or natural kind of love. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21). This kind of love is however essential and crucial for a family wellbeing.

2. Eros: Grk (of the Physical body) – Sexual love; purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of perversion in our societies today. (Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20).

3. Agape: Grk (of the spirit) – God kind of love; unconditional, limitless, divine, spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. 1 Corinthians 13. Agape love even helps to ensure, strengthen and maintain the Phileo and Eros kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is based on principle – be it towards things or people.

The Phileo or Eros kinds of Love need to be controlled by Agape kind of love or else it will hinder our fellowship with God and leads to sin. (E.g. Eros – 1 Corinthians 7:5; Phileo – 1 Samuel 2:22-36.)

Let’s not just say we have love, lets live and walk in love, for love is of the Spirit.

“If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit”

Galatians 5:25.
