Love Like Jesus
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25
Love your wife as Jesus loved us, how many marriages would have been saved following this principle? How many broken families could have been restored? To love like Jesus, what does it really mean?
Although it would be impossible to love as much as Jesus , we should strive to follow him and love the way Jesus showed us
(John 15:13) “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Jesus laid down his life for us all, payed the ultimate sacrifice. He even did it knowing that many people would reject and mock him. Is there any greater love than what was demonstrated on the cross?
Can’t you atleast love your spouse and family like this? Are you to full of hatred and pride that you can’t give everything you got to ones that love you the most? If you can’t love the partner God has created for you, can you truly expect to love others?
(John 13:34) “”A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
Love one another as Jesus loved us, we are commanded to love. Should it be this hard? Do we really have to force ourselves to love each other? If it’s that difficult for you, then you have a troubled soul.
Love should come easy for us, your soul should be filled with love and slow to anger. Remember Love is Patient, Love is Kind, Love does not envy or boastful. These are not just words, this is a lifestyle. This is the life of a true Christian. If your heart is constantly in conflict, then you need to ask Jesus to heal you.
(Proverbs 10:12) “Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.”
Hate is the root for all conflict, when you have hate in your heart it’s just a time bomb waiting to go off. Hatred is always looking for its next victim or problem. You need to cleanse your heart of hate. The only way to do this is thru Jesus Christ. He gives us the inner peace and strength that Satan couldn’t defeat.
Let’s strive to love each other, especially our spouses and children, just as Jesus loved us. Sometimes your going to get hurt, but love always conquers evil in Jesus name Amen
Who is Jesus
Got Faith?
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:9?
Your faith determines everything. For it’s easy for people to say they believe but to really demonstrate that faith is a true test. For we walk by faith and not by sight. Therefore if you have no faith, you don’t walk with The Lord.
The salvation of your soul is based on your faith. God is a just God, therefore would it be fair for everyone receive the same reward. No your reward in heaven is based on your faith level and relationship you have with Jesus.
(Matthew 14:31) “And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?”
Peter believed, and when he put his faith in Jesus he walked on the water. But the Peter started to doubt and immediately began to sink. Isn’t this similar to our own lives. We believe and have faith, take a bold step, only to begin to doubt ourselves and begin to sink.
But as he did in this story, Jesus is always there to save us. But you can tell the disappointment in Jesus statement, why do you doubt? Why do we doubt? What more does Jesus have to do for us till we put full faith into him?
(Matthew 17:20) “And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”
It only takes faith the size of the mustard seed to move a mountain, yet we still don’t have enough. Why? What do you have faith in? If you can’t believe in our Lord who saved our life, what do you believe in?
You have the power of the almighty God behind you, the God who created the Heavens and the Earth, who knows every star by name, who knows the number of hairs on your head. Why do you doubt him?
(James 2:17) “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Eventually one day God is going to call you to take a leap of faith. To do something bold to show his glory. This will show your true faith, will you answer his call or ignore him?
Your task from God might seem illogical or maybe even insane to the world, but trust in The Lord and your faith will reward you. So ask yourself do you really have faith? Faith to walk on water or move a mountain or is your faith dead?
No Sign No Excuse
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation. Mark 8:12
If only God showed me a sign I would believe. If only , If only, If only Sound familiar? Generations continue to question God and demand a sign. What sign do you really want to see? Perhaps God showed you signs but you were too busy and distracted to pay attention.
(Romans 1:20)” For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:”
You want a sign but the creation of the almighty God is clearly present, the planets, the stars, and most importantly yourself. You are without excuse, you can deny the living God all you want but you can’t deny the awesomeness of his creation.
(Colossians 1:15) “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:”
Jesus is the image of the invisible God, Word became Flesh and dwelt among us. Who will deny the existence of Jesus Christ? Only fools would say that God doesn’t exist, the signs were giving to us throughout history.
(Genesis 1:27) “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
We are created in the image of God, if you want to believe in God look in the mirror. To deny the existence of your heavenly Father is to deny yourself. How insulting is it that we deny our maker when he breathed life into our bodies. You rather believe we were formed from nothiness
(Hebrews 11:3)” Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
When you understand the Word of God and understand our almighty God, then you will understand your existence. Your demands for a sign are unjustified. You should be grateful you have been giving the gift of life. If you don’t believe, stop waiting for a sign. For you are all without excuse, for God lives in us all in Jesus Name Amen
Drop Your Stones
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7
The prostitute caught in the act was going to be executed for her sins. To all the men this was justified by the commandments of God. So here comes Jesus, God in the flesh, surely he will lay down his wrath upon this sinner.
But instead Jesus asked us to judge ourselves, who among us is without sin? Who among us is worthy to be the judge of righteousness? None of us, for we all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.
(John 5:22) “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:”
Jesus, the Son of God, is the only one who can judge us. So why do we waste our time judging others? Do you believe you have the authority to judge anyone?
Instead of judging people of there sins and shortfalls we need to show them the love and mercy of Jesus. Judgment is not ours, judgment is for Jesus. If it was up to man they would have stoned the women to death and felt it was justified. But it wouldn’t have been justified becase it was the will of God.
(Matthew 7:1) “”Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”
When Jesus asked who was without sin, everyone dropped there stone. Why? Because were all guilty, were all not worthy of the book of life. But Jesus thru his blood on the cross made it possible for us to be redeemed of those sins.
With that said judgment is not ours, you want to continue judging people you will bring more judgment upon yourself. We need to show people the love and mercy of Christ and leave the judgment to him.
(John 8:11) “She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”
After Jesus showed his mercy, he instructed her to sin no more. Mercy isn’t giving someone a free pass on a life of sin. It’s about changing your life from sin. When you feel and experience the love of Jesus you will change your life
If you continue to judege others, which is not your authority, they may never feel the love and mercy of Christ. Drop your stones, let judgment up to Jesus, and show people the love of Christ in Jesus name Amen
Contentment is Great Gain
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Philippians 4:11
Are you content in any situation? Or do you waver under stressful situations? When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior he always becomes our Peace and Strength. We should not worry about whether we are rich or poor, healthy or weak, for we are already blessed already from the Gift of life God has giving us
We need to learn in all situations to stay in Peace and Let God fight for us.
(Exodus 14:14) “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”
When we are under attack by our Enemies it’s our human nature to strike back. But we need to learn to stay in Peace and Let God fight our battles.
The world might view this as weakness but we know our strength comes from The Lord and not ourselves. He has the power to spin planets and galaxies into existence; he can overcome any obstacle that you may be facing.
(Matthew 5:39) “But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.”
Jesus taught us to “turn the other cheek” why? Because the battle is not ours, that battle is for God. We need to learn to trust in God thru all situations. Stay in Peace and Stay Content.
Satan likes to tempt us with greed, envy, lust, ect. But we must learn we are already blessed. It’s his trap to get you off course. Don’t repay evil with evil, resist the devil and he will flee from you.
(1 Timothy 6:6) “But godliness with contentment is great gain.”
When we learn to be content with what we have we gain Peace and Strength that can’t be bought. People who always need more possessions and wealth will never gain true Peace, because it will never be enough.
Many battles and struggles are due to people not being content with what God has already giving them. Whatever the world is going to throw at you, you will be able to overcome it with the Peace and Strength of Jesus Christ Amen
Are you Conforming or Transforming?
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2
Are you conforming or transforming? These are the only 2 options in life, you are either following the ways of God or your following the ways of the world.
• The world says Children can be aborted but God says Children are the Heritage of the Lord
• The world says your spouse is a ball and chain but God says A Virtuous Women is the crown of her husband
• The world says you’re weak God says I can do all things thru Christ that gives me strength
• The world says watch your back God says As Iron sharpens Iron so we sharpen one another
When you renew your mind thru Christ you begin to see the world in a whole new light.
(1 John 5:19) “We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.”
Why are the ways of the world so evil? Because the world is under control by Satan. But isn’t the Earth Gods creation, how can Satan control it? Because we allow him to. You see God is our Creator but not a dictator he gives everyone the gift of free will.
So Satan has taken advantage of that free will and convinced people to follow him thru sin. Enticing them that the pleasure of sin are greater than the gift of eternal life.
Satans influence has become so great he has control of the world thru nations, governments, technology, ect. But his control is only enabled by people choosing to follow him.
(1 John 4:4) “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
The Power of Christ within you will give you the strength to overcome this world. Jesus conquered the world when he was raised from the dead, that same power is living inside of you thru the Holy Spirit.
Follow the ways of the world will only lead to your death. Follow Jesus he you will be giving eternal life
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; Ephesians 4:23
But we must renew our minds and not conform to the ways of this world. For we are what we think, when we think evil thoughts as the world you become evil. Keep your mind on the things above in Jesus name Amen
Be Strong and Courageous
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6
Are you living in fear or do you live with courage? Do you dread facing the day or go in peace? God did not design us to live in fear or be anxious about anything. However Satan has created these chains that bond so many of us. It’s time to break the chains, trust in God and walk with Courage.
(2 Timothy 1:7) “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
The spirit of fear is not from God but from Satan. For with God you have nothing to fear. He won’t leave or forsake you. You can tell when someone is a true Christian by their inner Peace and Strength they possess that can only come from God.
(John 14:27) “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”
Jesus is the “Prince of Peace” and his Peace he gives unto us. When we give our life to Christ we get filled with inner peace and strength that cannot be obtained anywhere else. As Jesus told us “Don’t be afraid” Don’t give in to your spirit of Fear, the Lord is with you!
(Psalm 23:4) “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
God is with you even in your darkest hour. Take comfort in knowing he won’t leave you or forsake you. You can walk thru you valley of death with strength and courage because you have the power of the almighty God right beside you.
(Romans 8:15) “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”
With God there is nothing to fear, you have received the “Spirit of Adoption” and not the “Spirit of Fear”
Meaning you are a Child of the Most High God, he will keep you under his wing; he carved your name in his hand. Whatever valley of death your walking thru Be Strong and Courageous and do not fear Evil. In Jesus Name Amen
Law of Life
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2
Theres two different laws can you be following, Law of Death or Law of Life. There is no escape from this choice; question is which Law will you follow?
Once you understand these laws, then you understand the importance of our Lord Jesus Christ. For without Jesus Christ you will for short of the Glory of God.
(Romans 3:23) “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
There will be fools who will say I don’t need Jesus. But those fools will perish for we can only be worthy of the Kingdom of God thru the salvation of the blood of Jesus Christ. We are all sinners, born to sin. This is the curse put on us by the choice made by Adam and Eve. If you choose on Judgment day to stand before God without Jesus as your Lord and Savior you will fail. Because your sins have not been forgiven and your heart and mind have not been renewed.
(Revelations 5:4) “And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.”
On Judgment day no one was found worthy to open the Book of Life, except our Savior Jesus Christ. See we need to understand we can’t live without Jesus. We are not worthy to stand before God due to our sins, because sins are not holy and don’t come from God.
But there’s great news, Jesus paid the price for us all. He was the Lamb that was slain to be your sacrifice for your sins. You are redeemed thru Jesus Christ.
(2 Corinthians 5:21) “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
Jesus the only one to walk this Earth and never sin, took our sins, and redeemed us by his sacrifice on the Cross. We are not righteous thru Jesus Christ. He is the hope to the hopeless.
How can you not love our Lord Jesus Christ? He gave up his life for you, so you can have life forever. Follow him and you are now victorious over the Law of Sin and Death. In Jesus Name Amen
Unashamed of Jesus
