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.

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.

'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...
