The Father's Love


For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16.

God loves everyone, that is the reason He gave Jesus, as the ransom for all. But, only those who acknowledge (receipt) His love, will be saved and are entitle to the blessing.
It is amazing how people after accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour; embark on keeping the commandments with the energy of the flesh, then turnaround and think they are more righteous than God. Like the rich young ruler "I have kept all thy commandment from my youth".
1 John 4:19 says,
"We love him, because he first loved us."
We have to settle it right now, in our heart that God is faithful, righteous and He love us. This truth cannot be change.
I understand many doubt God's love when they are faced with outright test and trials.
The Bible told us that we will have them (persecution), in this world for choosing to live godly. 2 Timothy 3:12, 
"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."
Also in 2 Corinthians 1:8, the scripture says,
"For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:" simply because they choose to live godly. It is all about making the DECISION, that even death cannot stop 'me' from loving and following God.
When these things start happening, that is not the right time to start doubting God's love; we must recognize the devil at work.
Matthew 16:25 says,
"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it."

The enemy will try to make us doubt God's love and faithfulness, that is why in John 14:27, the scripture also says,
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
He is telling us before hand because the enemy will try to take away our peace, once we decide to live godly.
There are lots of things that want to trouble us or to make us be afraid. But he said, "don't be afraid or troubled".
We have His promises to validate His presence and love for us; for example in Isaiah 43:2, 
"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." you can read further to verse 4. But, "when" would indicate of a certainty, right?!
In Genesis 12:3,
"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee:... "
These are just some of His promises, that validates His presence, protection and love for us, and the Holy Bible is full of them, God is faithful and He love us, let's settle that in us once and for all.

The idea that God does not care, should be trashed. We have love, God does not have love; He is Love!
The bottom line is our commitment to doing, "... Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.", and we'll enjoy His best. John 2:5.

Jesus is Lord!

Choose To Forgive

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" Matt. 6:12;14. The Scripture admonish us to forgive not just debts, offenses, etc. In Isa. 43:25 God had to forgave us for His own sake, meaning each time we have unforgiveness in our heart, it limit the flow of the anointing which is the power of God at work in us. Many think they are perfect, but non is perfect and sinless before God, except by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is by grace. 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." it does not matter the personality, not even Peter, James and John could claim righteousness without Jesus Christ and the blood. So we don't have examples to pattern after except Jesus Christ, He is the RIGHTEOUS (1John 2:1). We must be mindful, man will always want to make himself the pattern for others to follow after, like ...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....
