KEEP LOVIING

Text : 1 John 4:20 

Whoever says, “I love God,” but hates his brother is a liar. The one who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love the God whom he has not seen.

The only thing you are permitted to owe anyone and everyone is love. 

"Do not owe anyone anything—except to love one another. For the one who loves another has fulfilled the Law."Rom 13:8.

The only way to show you love God is by loving the people you see. You have been called, not just to love God only, but to love your neighbors too. This is the royal law all believers are commanded to fulfill. 

If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:James 2:8. 

Some people are so difficult to love. No matter what you do to them,  they are naturally wired to pay back with evil. But we are not told to love only those that are easy to love, rather, you are to love all men. 1 Thessalonians 3:12. As a matter of fact Jesus told us to love our enemies. 

'You have heard that it was said, ‘You must love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy.

But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you''. Matthew 5:43-44.

This is our Master's express instruction to us. It is not dependent on the actions and inactions of the recipient, your love must be unconditional. 

In reality,  no man can give an unconditional love except by the help of the Holy Ghost. 

'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'.Rom 5:5. That is,  this type of love (Agape) belongs exclusively to God, it can only be expressed, understood,  and communicated through His Spirit that He has given to us. 

So to *KEEP LOVING* you have to do it in the power of the Holy Ghost. Anything outside this, is not the-God-kind of love. 

 *Have you received this Holy Spirit?* It is the Holy Spirit of God that gives us power to do the extraordinary. Acts 1:8.

 *If you ask the Father today,  He will give His Holy Spirit to you, so you can *KEEP LOVING.* 

 *'If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?'Luke 11:13* .* 

Bible reading: 1 Cor. 13:1-13.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
