Created to love



And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity (1 Corinthians 13:13).
  Faith, hope, and love are three creative principles revealed to us in the Word; they are positive forces of the recreated human spirit, and according to the scriptures, the greatest of these three is love. The reason hope doesn’t disappoint is because the love of god is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit: “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” Romans 5:5. In addition, your walk of love secures faith in your heart, for faith works by love Galatians 5:6. Can you now see why love is so important?
  We function with God through love; without love your faith wouldn’t work. Love is the bond of perfection Colossians 3:14. The Contemporary English Version of Colossians 3:14 says “Love is more important than anything else. It is what ties everything completely together.” Walking in love, for the Christian, isn’t optional at all; it’s our life. You were created to love. God is love, and the Bible says our spirits have been recreated after the image of the One that created us; therefore, we’re the expression and epitome of His love.
  Jesus said in John 13:34, “Anew commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” However, being born again, and having received the Holy Spirit, love is no longer a commandment for you to obey; rather, it has become your natural way of life In line with 1John 3:14, love is the sign that you’ve passed from death to life! That’s the inner conviction as the spirit bears witness with your spirit that you’re a child of God Romans 8:16.
Not only has God given you His love, H’ also given you the ability to love like Him. Let His love be seen in you and heard in your  word; let others experience God’s love through you everyday.

You are alive by the Spirit

    But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you Romans 8:11. God gave birth to us by the Word, through the spirit. You’re not ordinary person if you are in Christ or if you have the new life in Christ Jesus. The human life you received from your parents has been replaced, supplanted, by the divine life of Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of corruptible, by the word of god, which liveth and abideth forever.”    Often, I tell people that Christianity is more than a legal document; it’s a vital experience; there’s a true life from Christ beating in your heart which is the new life in Christ Jesus. The natural man (anyone without the New Life in Christ Jesus or anyone who is not born again) lives by blood, but a Christian lives by the Spirit. No wonder Jesus, referring to the ne...

The Reign of Death is over

  Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Romans 5:14)  Satan became the god of this earth because he got it from Adam who lost out through disobedience, resulting significantly in the reign of death. Remember, God had told Adam, “… in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). He was talking about spiritual death; spiritual death is the cause of physical death. So, our theme verse says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses (the Law of Moses)…”  But who had the power of death? The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan was actually behind this reign of death. Now, here’s something exciting that I want ...

The Divinity of Jesus

   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father; but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, have seen him” John 14:6-7.   “Is Jesus really God?”   This is one question many still ask today. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God ” John 1:1. That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh-Jesus- and dwelt among us: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.     Now, the prophecy that came forth before the birth of Jesus also foretold His divinity: “Behold, a virgin shall be with a child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanue...
