Imitate God!


Ephesians:5.1-2
 1. Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children
2. 
 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.


Exposition

Beloved in Christ, our God is a loving God. Why can’t we also love such unconditionally? Should we always discriminate? For how long? Love is what Christ demonstrated for humanity on the cross. Can’t we show the same to our fellow humans?

Imitate God!
You were made in His likeness, imitate Him. Let your body be put under control. Let your mind be filled with His Word. Imitate God!
Behave like God, be quick to love and slow to anger.

Live a love life! 
 Living a love life is you seeing everyone as needed and equal before God, serving everyone in total humility and service.

Let the spirit of God guide you every day throughout your life in order to live according to this standard.

Prayer

My Lord My God, take my life and let it be consecrated unto you. Let your spirit keep me going in imitating you on earth and living a love life in Jesus’s Name.

3 Secrets to Happiness ☺️

Happiness is sought by many in this world. Yet how many people enjoy this gift? Once you're born into a family, your joy begins from there. That's where you are thought the basics. Life without happiness is like a tree without leaves. Let's look at how we can be happy without restrictions. Be with those who rebuke you . I know this may sound weird but think about it. Joseph, though, was with his family. They always rebuked his dream. He became the breadwinner.  Those who rebuke you, dare you to bring your best and be your best? They know what's inside you, but you know where you're going with it. The rebuke will only remember you you have somewhere going. Don't be sad when they do. Please Nobody  Your dream is in your mind. You don't owe anybody an explanation of its fulfilment. Yours is to believe and work towards achieving it. Don't consider what people say or think about your aims and visions for life. Work it out with those who believe in it. Be sinc...

'Cry out, I will answer' says the LORD

Exodus:22.23   If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry. Exposition Beloved in Christ, what causes you to cry? What reason do you have before crying? Ever heard or seen a widow or an orphan cry? That's the type of cry God needs to answer your plea. If you are able to cry out to the LORD, He will hear your cry. Crying to God doesn't necessarily mean wailing and yelling for all to see you cry in prayers. You can solemnly, and in deep thoughts converts your request into tears poured in your heart to God. That is the cry the Bible is talking about.  A cry of pain, a cry of complete surrender to Him, a cry that renders Him the only solution to the problem, a cry that gives Him no option than to answer. That is the cry the word of God is referring to. Our predecessors cried; David, Hannah, Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Jesus Christ and many others, and God heard their cry. What is it you want to tell God? How long have you longed for it? Co...

The 3 Enemies of Christ

Living your life as a Christian doesn't mean you are on your own. Being under grace doesn't guarantee you access to continue living in sin.  1st Enemy : Anyone whose destiny is destruction.  This may sound ironic, but what it really means is that anyone who ends up living their life just to cause harm. Is an enemy of Christ. This is because it is the devil who came to steal, kill, and destroy. Your purpose for being alive shouldn't limit you to causing harm to people.  2nd Enemy:   Anyone whose god is their stomach.  How can your stomach be your god? Simple, anytime you put your stomach first above all priorities. Even when you're expected to fast, that's where you try remembering a befitting ailment. The little money you get all ends up in your stomach.  3rd Enemy: mindset on only earthly things.  We are living in a generation where your wealth defines your worth. We've forgotten about the existence of God, the Supreme being, and the maker of the un...
