OUR TYPE OF LOVE

-

1 Thessalonians 4:1-5

Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more.

For you remember what we taught you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin.

Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor—

not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways.


HELP US GOOD LORD!


For our type of love is the Agape, the love of God. 


A lot of things do cross our mind, remember that there are many darts of the enemy, spittle of the serpent and manipulations from the prince of the power of the air, but we should:


Proverbs 4:23

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.


Not all thoughts should be given room, NO. For the enemy suggests, but you resist, then he flees.


James 4:7

So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.


For the children of God humble themselves before God, submitting to His will and way, thus they resist whatever it is the enemy brings and thus chase him away.


For God's type of love is neither selfish or destructive, no it is sacrificial. You cannot say you love God and you hate your brethren no, the love of God causes you to love His children.


Our love for God is evident in our obedience:


1 John 5:3-5

Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome.

For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.

And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.


That is why you cannot see a believer who is guilty of breaking the law, for He operates in a higher dimension. None born of God is under the bondage of sin for Christ has set us free. Halleluyah.


1Thessalonians 4:7-8 

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.


So we despise God if we walk in sin, for He has given us His Holy Spirit. We will not err. Help us Good Lord.


So as believers we walk in love for that is our nature gotten from our Father - who is Love.


Thus we are not pests or a burden to anyone but:


1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.

Then people who are not believers will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.


For no child of God is a beggar.


We work, we mind our business and the unbelievers learn from us. For we show good example.


Let us live and teach these truths. We are of love.


Glory to God.


He calls us blessed.


Love

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
