The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: To LOVE The LORD GOD Almighty!

“Be ye therefore FOLLOWERS of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath LOVED us, and hath GIVEN himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” Ephesians 5:1-2.

There’s nothing as gracious and graceful to loving God. It’s the hallmark and bedrock to WORSHIP Him WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation, in the grace in Christ Jesus stead.

Let me just give two hallmarks that will cause you to see the needs to LOVE God the more unreservedly and wholeheartedly, as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Firstly, when you love God, you make yourself available for gracious call and then triggered the enabling grace of God, that makes all things [good or bad], to work out for your good and goodness in the grace, in order to fulfill His plan and purpose that concerns you as His called-out one, as it’s written:

“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.

“In Him also we have received an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been predestined (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the PURPOSE of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:11-12/Amplified.

Secondly, when you love God, you give Him the permission to unveiled all things about you that no eyes have seen or ears heard neither have entered into any man’s hearts on the matters that concerns you personally – hence you don’t let anyone talk you out of your convictions of God who loves you dearly. And this act of yours to love God, triggers the blessed Holy Spirit to reveal to you, the true you, the full details of God’s intent for you in order to fulfil life meaningfully. So that anyone speaking to you about anything, it’s only being used to confirm what you’ve already known by the Holy Spirit revelation, and anything otherwise you will throw it into the dustbin to avoid pollution on your worth in the grace.

“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, you can see that loving God is gracious. He made us and saved us [Revelation 1:5-6], and wants the best for us. It’s important that we resolved within us to love God so that we can enjoy His presence and share in His promises as in the whole counsel of God. There are many hidden inexhaustible rewards involved involving God.

However, one need to grow to mature to the phase and stage and status in the grace wherein you come to a level of living and loving God as if conditioned and conditioning; such that our loving God is not necessarily of His BLESSEDNESS but because of who He’s as the Father God of Love, who is defined by love and desired us to live in love toward Him; more so, such that in our worship and service towards Him, is bounded by love, to enable Him express Himself through us in His love by the Holy Spirit of love, that He had given us to do life and live godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“He that LOVETH not knoweth not God; for God is LOVE . . . 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” 1 John 4:8, 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 . . . 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

God loves us, let’s walk in His love in Christ Jesus in order to fulfil His plan and purpose concerning us by the revelation of His will to us personally without any intermediary of all about us individually and collectively as His Church in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Blessed regards as you go living and loving God all the way.

TAKING THE STOCK OF YOUR LIFE ON GOD’S WORD BY LOVE

TAKING THE STOCK OF YOUR LIFE ON GOD’S WORD BY LOVE: AND LOVING TO DO GOD’S WORD BY LOVE AND NOT AS A BURDEN – THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN LIFE AND GRACE!

“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 (GRIEVOUS, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER, TROUBLESOME, HARD, DIFFICULT)” 1 John 5:2-3/Emphasis Mine.

Do you always take stock on your obedience to God’s WORD? and do you DO God’s WORD in LOVE? And if Yea – that’s GREAT and COMMENDABLE. However, the essence of the questions or questioning it’s summed up in this, that by LOVING to DO and be DOING God’s WORD of commands in LOVE is a hallmark of doing the WORD effectually, efficiently, effortlessly, selflessly and without sweat and guilt; more so, considering always in principle, that God’s WORD is not GRIEVOUS, IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, TROUBLESOME, HARD and DIFFICULT to practice when taken in a spirited and hearted act of LOVE approach. I can boldly say to you today, that, DOING God’s WORD by LOVE, makes all the difference in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It must be noted that God is not a taskmaster, hence His COMMANDS are not an ADVICE, they are genuine, faithful, true, sure, real and empowering. He will always COMMEND what He COMMAND when it’s obediently taken and done in LOVE. And God’s intent it’s always for our good and to help and to give leverage to us in our godly living and doing life in all circumstances. And when LOVING by God’s WORD, life is liveable, loveable, reachable and enjoyable in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For I know the PLANS and THOUGHTS that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘PLANS for PEACE and WELL-BEING and NOT FOR DISASTER, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE. 12 Then you will CALL on Me and you will come and PRAY to Me, and I will HEAR [your voice] and I will LISTEN to you” Jeremiah 29:11-12 Amplified.

A WILLING and OBEDIENT hearts of LOVE towards God’s WORD, it’s all it takes to eat the good out of the Kingdom. This is all possible:

** When LOVE and LOVING is not taken or done with a DUTY hearts as if God is a TASKMASTER.

** When you KNOW that God have not TASKED MASTERING you in LOVE to tempt you with an obligation He knows it’s impossible for you and any to do.

** When you understand that God is not out to see you FAIL in LOVE, in order that He might punish you to suit Himself well and good.

Therefore, by taking STOCK on God’s WORD in LOVE, and LOVING to DO God’s WORD by LOVE – should not be seen as a BURDEN – but as God’s avenue in grace for your good, knowing that it’s in the doing in love that – MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE – for an EFFECTUAL and EFFICIENT walk with God in doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

If God demands of your finance, time, talent/skill, and whatever to be given of you for His Kingdom cause and to keep the enemy at bay – it’s WORTH doing it in the LOVE for God and His work on earth rather than doing it as an obligation and duty in fear. Even in matters of NECESSITY as Apostle Paul would say in regards to the call of God upon His life – still do it in love and not in fear of bondage. For perfect love cast out fear PHOBIAS. Let God’s love rules and reigns supreme in your world as is in His world.

“Beloved, let us [unselfishly] LOVE and seek the best for one another, for LOVE is from God; and everyone who LOVES [others] is BORN of God and KNOWS God [through personal experience]. 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.] . . . 17 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 4:7-8, 17-18 Amplified.

“For though I PREACH the gospel, I have NOTHING to glory of: for NECESSITY is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I PREACH not the gospel! 17 For if I DO this thing WILLINGLY, I have a REWARD: but if AGAINST my will, a DISPENSATION of the GOSPEL is committed unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:16-17.

I PRAY that as you take STOCK in doing life and living godly, may you do it by God’s WORD by LOVE; and may you maintain consistency in the realm and sphere by LOVE, and be doing God’s WORD by LOVE – and not as a BURDEN – while making all the difference.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“LOVE has been PERFECTED among us in this: 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 4:17-18.

THE LOVING OF GOD

THE LOVING OF GOD: WILL CAUSE ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER FOR YOUR GOOD!

“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.

“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

Love is the working essence of all things for your good with God. If you want all things – positive or negative – to work for your good, then start loving God in spirit (hearts) and in truth (His Word).

Loving God is a deliberate conscious act from your hearts (human spirit) and not in your heads; knowing and understanding that God’s love is only poured or shared in human spirit (heart) by the Holy Spirit for a genuine expression of God’s love – Romans 5:5. This will cause all things to work for your good, as you can only make meaningful worship of God from your hearts of love towards Him.

Material instruments as Stethoscope, Scan, X-ray and more may be useful in human endeavours, yet can’t detect the human spirit, because the human spirit is eternal and not earthly. Simply put, the spirit of a man is the candle or lamp of the Lord, searching and watching all the inner depths of his heart, hence only can by all means worship God.

For Faith pleases God and Faith only functions by Love, and when Faith towards God is essence by Love, you’ve gotten hold of God for the release of His blessings upon you.

If you are desiring God’s BLESSEDNESS – just LOVE God; for ALL THINGS will work together for your GOODNESS, GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

Today, start Loving God.

“For in Jesus Christ NEITHER circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

“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.  11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.

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, selflessly and without sweat and guilt; more so, considering always that God’s WORD, is not IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, TROUBLESOME, HARD and DIFFICULT to practice when in a loving approach. For DOING God’s WORD in LOVE makes all the difference in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It must be noted that God is not a taskmaster, hence His commands are not an advice, they are genuine, faithful, true, sure, 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 when not taken with DUTY hearts as if God is a TASKMASTER; and knowing that God have not TASKED you to tempt you with an obligation He knows it’s impossible for you and any to do; and He’s not out to see you fail, in order 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 – should not be as a BURDEN – for that MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

Loving God

Loving God – Will Cause All Things To Work Together For Your GOOD!

Love is the working essence of all things for your good with God. If you want all things – positive or negative – to work for your good, then start loving God in spirit (hearts) and in truth (His Word).

Loving God is a deliberate conscious act from your hearts (human spirit) and not in your heads; knowing and understanding that God’s love is only poured or shared in human spirit (heart) by the Holy Spirit for a genuine expression of God’s love – Romans 5:5. This will cause all things to work for your good, as you can only make meaningful worship of God from your hearts of love towards Him.

Material instruments as Stethoscope, Scan, X-ray and more may be useful in human endeavours, yet can’t detect the human spirit, because the human spirit is eternal and not earthly. Simply put, the spirit of a man is the candle or lamp of the Lord, searching and watching all the inner depths of his heart, hence only can by all means worship God.

For Faith pleases God and Faith only functions by Love, and when Faith towards God is essence by Love, you’ve gotten hold of God for the release of His blessings upon you.

If you are desiring God’s BLESSEDNESS – just LOVE God; for ALL THINGS will work together for your GOODNESS, GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

Today, start Loving God.

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 .” Romans 8:28-30.

“For in Jesus Christ NEITHER circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

“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.  11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.
