Love, You



Love is among the greatest commandment in the bible entreats you to have for both humanity and divinity. 


"....Love Your Neighbour as yourself.." Jesus said, explaining this being the second of the great commandments. (Mark 12:31, Matthew 22:39)


The emphasis, as Yourself. Meaning before you can love anyone, you must love yourself first if not, you love in vain. Do not be blinded by the 'norms' of this world, love is reciprocal. Sure it is, to those who can’t define it.


How do you love yourself? How do you appreciate yourself? Is it by priding yourself in your possessions? Or flaunting your wealth? 


No!


Loving yourself, is, you being able to appreciate what you have, be content. It is you taking full responsibility for your actions and not blaming anyone for your mistakes. 


Loving yourself is you acknowledging your weaknesses and accepting them. Loving yourself is you accepting your dirty past, seeing the better person God had made you and living a fulfilling life in Christ Jesus. 


Remember, before you love anyone, first love yourself. What you'll do to make yourself happy, do the same to others. What will make you feel sad, don't inflict it on others?


'...For God so loved the world…' (John 3:16), the word of God says. God didn't wait for the world to love Him back, yet He loved the world. 


You can also love your neighbour with no expectation of them returning your love and God who sees things in secrets will surely Bless you.

You're Nothing without Me, says the LORD

Matthew:19.26  Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Exposition Beloved, God is God. His potency makes Him God. His independence in decisions makes Him God. His ability to known and seen everywhere is what makes Him different from  humanity. This being known, why are you still seeing impossibilities in what you do? Have you forgotten about God's existence so soon? Don't be doing the probability calculation for God. He's a mathematician on His own. Don't think for Him either, He has His own head to reason. Whatever thing you are doing, whatever you so dream about ; God is making it possible. The word said 'This' meaning there's that particular thing that seems impossible to man, but to God, It's ever possible. God is able to do, just what He says He will do. Just invite Him, He is ever ready to help. He's only waiting on your call. Prayer Father, have mer...

BE PATIENT! God is At work.

Many often, we lose patients when our needs delayed, especially after many sleepless nights of prayers and fasting.  Did you know that Job could have just cursed God and move on with life, as his wife advised? But why didn't he?  Job believed God was making something more valuable and special than what he's lost for him.  Be patient, wait on God's approval before you proceed in pursuing your life goals and dreams. Life is temporary and becomes shorter when you lived in your own understanding and dictation.  David always consulted God in everything he does, even with the petty things he knew he could do by himself, he still consulted God anyway. How much more for you?  Be patient, wait on God's directives before you begin your initiative, God is close to you, He's just busy working better things out for you. Believe! (References: the book of Job, 1 Samuel 16-31)

They Will Hate You! 😔

Mark 13:13   Everyone will hate you because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.  Exposition   Being a Christian, is you defending christ? He has fulfilled His mission of dying for humanity to attain grace in the presence of God.  Persecutions are inevitable once you’re a Christian. The hate doesn’t begin from other people but yourself.  Your flesh wrestles with the spirit of God. Even before the world hates you.  Buts stand firm, believe in God. He is with you and by grace, you’ll make it to His kingdom.  Prayer Dear Lord, grant me the strength to endure to the end in Jesus’s Name.
