LOVE (another reminder)

-
The greatest motivation should be love.

Many serve God for fear of hell fire. Many avoid sin for fear of the repercussion of the law.

But the first and summary of all commandments is LOVE.

Joshua 23:11
 "Therefore take diligent heed to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God.

Deuteronomy 6:5
"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

Deuteronomy 11:13
'And it shall be that if you diligently obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,

Matthew 22:37
Jesus said to him, " 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

Matthew 22:40
"On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

God reached out to us through Love and He expects us to reach out to Him and to others through love. When every other thing fails and passes away Love will be the remaining force.

John 3:16
 "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.

No matter what you do let Love be the driving force.

In another way, love what you do that it may produce good fruit to those you serve and to you.

1Corinthians 13:3
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Religion without love is a wasted effort because God looks out for love.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, ACHIEVE OR HOW FAR YOU GET IN THIS LIFE, PLEASE NEVER LET YOUR LOVE GO COLD.

God in you is evident in Love.

1John 4:7-9
 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God
 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
 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.

I see you rise above the evil and deceit of this world.
 I see you showing God's nature as Love motivates your great accomplishments and achievements this year.

PRAY!

God bless you.

Love
@ the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
