WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS
REV. CHUKIE MORSI
About Becoming Whom & What You Believe
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.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK together for GOOD to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to HIS PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED not his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY any thing to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is RISEN again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us. 35 Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:28-39.
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.
“So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:17-19 (Amplified).
“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-29

LOVING GOD IN HIS LOVE TERMS: FOR GOD’S LOVE – IS THE ‘LOVE’ OF THE SIXTH SENSE – CALLED AGAPE!
“. . . 8 The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], FOR GOD IS LOVE. [He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.] . . . 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 [7-21]/Amplified.
There’s the LOVE of God which operates and lubricates by FAITH in God’s Word – it’s called AGAPE LOVE [Galatians 5:6; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13]. This love of God is pure, excellent, spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and this love of God is inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit [Romans 5:5, 8; John 14:16-17]. And this love is sustained and maintained by the Holy Spirit, hence it knows no stress, weakness, tiredness and weariness; and it doesn’t fade and weathered out with times with changes, and it’s not limited or conditioned by any ‘nesses; and there’s NO ROOM for selfishness, wickedness, manipulation, controlling, maliciousness and greediness. It’s the love that transcends, surpasses and supercedes all human reasoning – meaning, there’s no room for prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.
“That Christ may DWELL in your HEARTS [SPIRIT-BEING] 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, SUPERCEDES, SURPASSES) KNOWLEDGE (Human Senses), that ye might be FILLED with ALL the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/Emphasis Mine.
HEREIN ARE FEW THINGS TO NOTE OF – GOD’S LOVE:
** It’s the LOVE that the embodiment for functionality are HOPE and FAITH.
** It’s LOVE that’s built on principles, and it’s intentional, unconditional and boundless.
** It’s the LOVE that transcends, supercedes and surpasses the natural or material worlds love of the Five Senses that’s of – smell, see, taste, hear feel/touch.
** It’s the LOVE that’s of a more excellent way to communicate to God and man in God’s terms in Christ Jesus stead.
** It’s the LOVE that enriches all things and transcends – culture, religion, colour, tradition, generation, gender and dispensation. This is simply because this LOVE is of God, is God and God personified.
** It’s the LOVE that answers to every quest of man and it’s yet not fathom by the five senses or limited by it in every measure of doing life and living godly by God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
** It’s the LOVE that treats others with respect and dignity; and it takes no advantage on people nor of people; it tends to give and serve than to demand and to receive the attention of love and or to be love.
** It’s the LOVE that transcends any form of sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation, and it’s irrespective to all.
I therefore, sincerely and honestly recommends this LOVE of God to for your good, goodness and wellbeing. For this LOVE is pure, spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and it’s the LOVE that’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. It’s the more excellent way to do life and live godly with God in Christ Jesus stead [1 Corinthians 12:31].

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].

THIS DECEMBER – IS ALL ABOUT THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS: LETS COMMEMORATE AND CELEBRATE HIM IN EVERYWAY!
“Now THE BIRTH of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost . . . 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins . . . 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, God WITH us.” Matthew 1:18-25.
CHRIST JESUS – He’s the reason for the season. He’s the reason for the celebration. Outside Him there’s no authentic and genuine reason that can be efficacious. And He’s THE WORD, the GOD MANIFEST in humanity. The WORD that’s able to do wholesome division and separation, of the human spirit, soul and body respectively; and all creatures are laid bare before Him in doing life and living godly. He’s THE WORD that the Holy Angel’s harkened unto in life and grace. He’s the sent one of the trinity God, who came for humanity good and goodness and there’s NO CONTROVERSY of any sorts about Him..
For me, when you take Christ from ‘CHRISTMAS’ you have ‘MAS’ which means ‘MAN AT SELF’ while with Christ it means ‘MAN AT SUFFICIENCY’.
CHRISTMAS means – A yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s love to mankind in the birth of our Lord & Saviour Christ Jesus and His cause on earth.
CHRIST means – The anointed one, Messiah, Saviour, The Redeemer and more; while MASS means – to Celebrate, to observe and commemorate.
Therefore, in this Month DECEMBER, let’s commemorate and celebrate Him for He is indeed born in our hearts and in our being. His birth is the rebirth of:
*Peace and goodwill toward men
*Hope, Faith & Love for men
*Fellowship and Relationship
*Salvation for all mankind and more.
However, as wonderful as Christmas commemoration and celebration is, be it known that Christ is enthroned. He’s no longer:
* The babe in the manger
* The servant to death
* The limited one and
* The Christ on the Cross.
He’s now the:
* God on the throne
* Omnipotent- (unlimited, all powerful)
* Omnipresent – (ever present, everywhere the same time) and
* Omniscience (all knowing, all understanding and all wise).
May Christ be all above to you, this Day, this Christmas and this month December. I pray you have a blessed celebration and commemoration.

“Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the PRINCES OF THIS WORLD, that come to nought: 7 but we speak THE WISDOM of God in a MYSTERY, even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which NONE OF THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.

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.
“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.
“For God so LOVED THE WORLD that he GAVE his one and only Son, that whoever BELIEVES in him shall not PERISH but have ETERNAL LIFE. 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 3:16-17.
“For this reason [grasping the greatness of this plan by which Jews and Gentiles are joined together in Christ] I bow my knees [in reverence] before the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ], 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth [a]derives its name [God—the first and ultimate Father]. 16 May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of HIS LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] THE LOVE OF CHRIST which far SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be FILLED up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]. 20 Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen” Ephesians 3:14-21 (Amplified).
