MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS: AND IT’S AT A COST – THE COST OF LOVE!
 
“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.
 
LOVE is an ESSENCE of life that everyone talks about daily, wants to both have, give and experience, but how many know and understood the magnanimity of the cost of LOVE to both receive from the giver and to offer same or more to another. It must be known and understood, that, every great relationship that has stood the pace of time, is because of the absolute commitment and dedication in self denials for the good of the other, in order to ensure that the bedrock of LOVE upon which they are and were founded, grounded, rooted and characterised are NEVER allowed to be shaken by any factors known and unknown that contradicts the LOVE in essence. [1 Peter 1:19; Acts 24:16; Ephesians 3:17-19; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13].
 
And as a child of God in Christ Jesus stead, I know how much you want to daily experience being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus as you appropriate the ESSENCE. I am here to tell you that it’s at a cost – LOVE cost. The MORE THAN CONQUERORS essence is born out of the COST of LOVE. And it’s in our going through the journey of knowing and understanding that LOVE is at a COST, that makes the essence meaningful and fulfilling as we appropriate.
 
“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 8:31-39.
 
I want to emphasise emphatically that being able to exercise the essence of being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead, is at a cost – and it wasn’t just an a mere GIVEN. It’s not cheap and it’s out there at no cost. It’s at the cost of LOVE. It COST God His Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and it COST His Son, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ His LIFE at the CROSS of crucifixion, through the pains and pangs of suffering even unto death.
 
“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.
 
And this matter of His life COST to us by Father God, was and is – LOVE. Meaning therefore, that God’s LOVE – the AGAPE love, is unconditional, principle, non sentimental, transcending, superseding, surpassing and it’s scriptural. And in the context of LOVE, God loves us; and this He expressed and authenticate by giving us His only Beloved Son – the first begotten from the dead – and by whom, it beholds Him to call us BRETHREN; and He expended it all in LOVE at a cost for our sake without a shadow of turning. [Romans 8:28; John 3:16; Revelation 1:5-6].
 
Therefore, it becomes apparent, that it takes a PURE CONSCIENCE of God’s genuine LOVE at a COST, which sometimes and most times, where possible, takes a toe on us, for one to actually and genuinely APPROPRIATE the MORE THAN CONQUERORS essence in Christ Jesus. Hence the characteristics of LOVE is a vitality to ensure a genuine LOVE cost. [1 Timothy 3:18; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Romans 12:9-21].
 
And I ask you today – do you want to experience the fulness, wholeness, perfection, completeness and maturity of the MORE THAN CONQUERORS stead in Christ Jesus? How much PREPARED are you to LOVE God in Christ Jesus stead, no matter what betides you for the cause of living, in following Him all the way? How PREPARED are you to say daily to take a stand in the Lord before the enormous challenges of life MATTERS when you are BUFFETED for your FAITH in God in Christ Jesus? Can you be emboldened to say I love the LORD and His cause and you will follow along irrespective of these but not limited elements of opposition to your FAITH and devotion to God in Christ Jesus: condemnation, or tribulation, or distress, persecution, or famine, nakedness, or peril, or sword, or death, or life, or angels, or principalities, or powers, or things present, or things to come, or height, or depth, or any other creature and such like. [Romans 8:31-39].
 
May I say that you need to be fully PERSUADED and CONTRAIN to LOVE God by His LOVE that He has GIVEN us by His Spirit for you to actualised in essence in your being – MORE THAN CONQUERORS dimensions of following God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. [Romans 8:35, 37, 39; 2 Corinthians 5:11-15; Romans 4:17-21).
 
To be MORE THAN CONQUERORS over your ENEMY and COHORTS for example, it takes taking an account to count the COST of LOVE to God’s WORD to do the SCRIPTURAL DEMAND to love your ENEMY and COHORTS, to feed them if in hunger and to quench their thirst with a drink as the scriptures enjoined. And it’s in pleasing God by taking the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH as it’s demand of you, that you can genuine appropriate the essence of being A MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. [1 John 5:1-5; Matthew 5:43-48; Romans 12:20-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Proverbs 16:7; Hebrews 11:6; Galatians 5:6].
 
Take time today and always to ask yourself on how much to go to LOVE God back in His LOVE definition stand, that’s GIVEN to you by the bestowed Holy Spirit to ensure, as He loves you, just as for His Son to SUFFER in LOVE to genuinely LOVE you too. That’s how to live through LOVE in FAITH toward God and His Christ in all matters of doing life and living godly and through the avenues of any relationship but not limited in – Marriage, Friendship, Colleagues, Business, Career, Leadership, Ministry, Community and such like.
 
It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK, that LOVE is at a COST to ensure one to be able to appropriate to the FULNESS, a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead.
May God found you faithful and in faith in His BLESSEDNESS, in experiencing the cost of LOVE, to be MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven . . .11 He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11 (Amplified).

“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.

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, THAN he that is in the world. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a WISE man’s heart DISCERNETH both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:5.

“The PREPARATIONS of the heart in man, and the ANSWER of the tongue, is from the Lord. 2 All the WAYS of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord WEIGHETH the spirits. 3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established . . . 7 When a man’s WAYS PLEASE the Lord,  he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him. 9 A man’s heart DEVISETH his way: but the Lord DIRECTETH his STEPS” Proverbs 16:1-3, 7, 9.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before kings (Honour, Dignity, Noble); he shall not STAND before mean(Obscure, Unproductive) men” Proverbs 22:29.

“He who TILLS (CULTIVATES) his LAND will be SATISFIED with BREAD, But he who follows FRIVOLITY is DEVOID of understanding” Proverbs 12:11 NKJV.

“He who TILLS (CULTIVATES) his land will have PLENTY of bread, But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough! 20 A FAITHFUL man will ABOUND with BLESSINGS, But he who HASTENS to be rich will not go unpunished. 21 To show partiality is not good, Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress. 22 A man with an EVIL eye HASTENS after RICHES, And does not consider that poverty will come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22 NKJV.

“The horse is PREPARED against the DAY OF BATTLE: but SAFETY is of the Lord” Proverbs 21:31.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy MOUTH; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 8:31-39.

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein” Psalms 24:1.

“. . . 4 What is man, that thou art MINDFUL of him? and the son of man, that thou VISITEST him? 5 For thou hast MADE him a little lower than the angels, and hast CROWNED him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION over the WORKS of thy hands; thou hast put ALL things under his feet: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas . . .” Psalms 8:1-9.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the WORK of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Isaiah 45:11-12.

“The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the EARTH hath he GIVEN to the children of men” Psalms 115:16.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven . . .11 He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11 (Amplified).

“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.

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, THAN he that is in the world. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a WISE man’s heart DISCERNETH both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:5.

“The PREPARATIONS of the heart in man, and the ANSWER of the tongue, is from the Lord. 2 All the WAYS of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord WEIGHETH the spirits. 3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established . . . 7 When a man’s WAYS PLEASE the Lord,  he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him. 9 A man’s heart DEVISETH his way: but the Lord DIRECTETH his STEPS” Proverbs 16:1-3, 7, 9.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before kings (Honour, Dignity, Noble); he shall not STAND before mean(Obscure, Unproductive) men” Proverbs 22:29.

“He who TILLS (CULTIVATES) his LAND will be SATISFIED with BREAD, But he who follows FRIVOLITY is DEVOID of understanding” Proverbs 12:11 NKJV.

“He who TILLS (CULTIVATES) his land will have PLENTY of bread, But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough! 20 A FAITHFUL man will ABOUND with BLESSINGS, But he who HASTENS to be rich will not go unpunished. 21 To show partiality is not good, Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress. 22 A man with an EVIL eye HASTENS after RICHES, And does not consider that poverty will come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22 NKJV.

“The horse is PREPARED against the DAY OF BATTLE: but SAFETY is of the Lord” Proverbs 21:31.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy MOUTH; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS: IS AT A COST

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS: IS AT A COST – THE COST OF LOVE!

LOVE is an ESSENCE of life that everyone talks about daily, wants to both give and experience, but how many know and understood the magnanimity of the cost of LOVE to both receive from the giver and to offer same or more to another. It must be known and understood, that, every great relationship that has stood the pace of time, is because of the absolute commitment and dedication in self-denial for the good of the other, in order to ensure that the bedrock of LOVE upon which they are and were founded, grounded, rooted and characterized are NEVER allowed to be shaken by any factors known and unknown that contradicts the LOVE in essence. (Ephesians 3:17-19; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13). And as a child of God in Christ Jesus stead, I know how much you want to daily experience being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus as you appropriate the ESSENCE. I am here to tell you that it’s at a cost – LOVE cost. The MORE THAN CONQUERORS essence is born out of the COST of LOVE. And it’s in our going through the journey of knowing and understanding that LOVE is at a COST, that makes the essence meaningful and fulfilling as we appropriate.

I want to emphasize emphatically that being able to exercise the essence of being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead, is at a cost. IT WASN’T JUST A MERE GIVEN. It’s not cheap and out there at no cost. It’s at the cost of LOVE. It COST God His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and it COST His Son, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ His life at the cross of crucifixion, through the pains and pangs of suffering even unto death. And this His life COST to us by Father God, was and is – LOVE. Meaning therefore, that God’s LOVE, AGAPE, the unconditional, principle, non-sentimental, transcending, surpassing and scriptural context LOVE, wherein He loves us to give His only Beloved Son, the first begotten from the dead, and by whom, it beholds Him to call us BRETHREN, expended it all in LOVE at a cost for our sake without a shadow of turning. (Romans 8:28; John 3:16; Revelation 1:5-6)

Therefore, it becomes apparent, that it takes a PURE CONSCIENCE of God’s genuine LOVE at a COST, which sometimes and most times, where possible, takes a toe on us, for one to actually and genuinely APPROPRIATE the MORE THAN CONQUERORS essence in Christ Jesus. Hence the characteristics of LOVE is a vitality to ensure a genuine LOVE cost. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Romans 12:9-21.

And I ask you today – do you want to experience the fullness, wholeness, perfection, completeness and maturity of the MORE THAN CONQUERORS stead in Christ Jesus? How much PREPARED are you to LOVE God in Christ Jesus stead, no matter what betides you for the cause of living, in following Him all the way? How PREPARED are you to say daily to take a stand in the Lord before the enormous challenges of life MATTERS when you are BUFFETED for your FAITH in God in Christ Jesus? Can you be emboldened to say I love the LORD and His cause and you will follow along irrespective of these but not limited elements of opposition to your FAITH and devotion to God in Christ Jesus: condemnation, or tribulation, or distress, persecution, or famine, nakedness, or peril, or sword, or death, or life, or angels, or principalities, or powers, or things present, or things to come, or height, or depth, or any other creature and such like. (Romans 8:31-39).

May I say that you need to be fully PERSUADED and CONTRAIN to LOVE God by His LOVE that He has GIVEN us by His Spirit for you to actualized in essence in your being – MORE THAN CONQUERORS dimensions of following God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:35, 37, 39; 2 Corinthians 5:11-15; Romans 4:17-21).

To be MORE THAN CONQUERORS over your ENEMY and COHORTS for example, it takes taking an account to count the COST of LOVE to God’s WORD to do the SCRIPTURAL DEMAND to love your ENEMY and COHORTS, to feed them if in hunger and to quench their thirst with a drink as the scriptures enjoined. And it’s in pleasing God by taking the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH as its demand of you, that you can genuine appropriate the essence of being A MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. (1 John 5:1-5; Matthew 5:43-48; Romans 12:20-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Proverbs 16:7; Hebrews 11:6; Galatians 5:6)

Take time today and always to ask yourself on how much to go to LOVE God back in His LOVE definition stand, that’s GIVEN to you by the bestowed Holy Spirit to ensure, as He loves you, just as for His Son to SUFFER in LOVE to genuinely LOVE you too. That’s how to live through LOVE in FAITH toward God and His Christ in all matters of doing life and living godly and through the avenues of any relationship but not limited in – Marriage, Friendship, Colleagues, Business, Career, Leadership, Ministry, Community and such like.

It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK, that LOVE is at a COST to ensure one to be able to appropriate to the FULNESS, a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead.

May God found you faithful and in faith in His BLESSEDNESS, in experiencing the cost of LOVE, to be MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For this is THANKWORTHY, if a man for CONSCIENCE toward God ENDURE grief, SUFFERING wrongfully. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be BUFFETED for your faults, ye shall take it PATIENTLY? but if, when ye do well, and SUFFER for it, ye take it PATIENTLY, this is ACCEPTABLE with God. 21 For even hereunto were ye CALLED: because Christ also SUFFERED for us, leaving us an EXAMPLE, that ye should follow his steps: 22 who did NO sin, neither was GUILE FOUND in his mouth: 23 who, when he was REVILED, REVILED not again; when he SUFFERED, he THREATENED not; but COMMITTED himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24 who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls” 1 Peter 2:19-25.

“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. 2 And supper being ended, the DEVIL having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to BETRAY him . . . 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 (LOVE) shall ALL men know that ye are MY DISCIPLES, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:1-2, 34-35 (Emphasis Mine).

“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 (WHOLE, MATURED COMPLETE FULNESS), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT” Matthew 5:43-48 (Emphasis Mine).

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 8:31-39.

“I will GIVE you the keys (authority) of the kingdom of heaven; and WHATEVER you bind [forbid, declare to be IMPROPER and UNLAWFUL] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven, and WHATEVER you loose [PERMIT, DECLARE LAWFUL] on earth will have [already] been loosed in heaven” Matthew 16:19 Amplified.
