The Perfect Love (1John 4:18)

Love is the emblem of eternity, it confounds all notion of time, effaces all memory of a beginning, all fears of an end. 
- Germaine De Stael
The Devil brings worry, anger, fear, hatred, confusion to your heart and makes you feel you are worthless, useless, helpless, hopeless, and aimless. So where else do you turn to when your parents, friends, guidance have written you off in such conditions?
What are your fears? Is it sickness, insecurity, fears of lack, my past, secrets, my finances and future, eviction, what people thought about me, Death etc. For how long would these torments of the mind and body continue?

First John 4:18 says, There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fear is not made perfect in love. Remembers your friends and family members are not perfect, you aren't either and for we are only working towards it (Phil. 3:12) so stop looking for man or madam perfect. Rather turn to God, the perfect giver of all good things and life and be led by the Holy Spirit. (Rom. 8:13-17).
God is love and there is no fear in love, who is God. He will make your life to be of great value, meaningful, self-reliant, possible, and purposeful and the glory will be His (1Tim.1:15-17). Be the best, be ready for the glorious coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (Heb. 12:28; Luke 1:74-75, 1 Pet. 5:10), the perfect gift of love (John 3:16). So, allow Christ to rule in your heart always, then you can show forth your love to mankind (1John 4:11-12). God bless you!

THE PASSION OF CHRIST ON HUMANITY

Image
GOOD FRIDAY For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mark 10:45) SEVEN WORDS OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS The seven words of Jesus Christ on the Cross came as a result of the passion He had on humanity. Man fell in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3) and God so loved the world and thought it that the perfect sacrifice that would restore man back to Himself was a true sacrifice of His one and only begotten Son (John 3:16). Jesus gave himeslf to humanity to reconcile man back to His father. He left all the pleasure above, came in all humility, did not not consider equality with God but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, became obedient to death, even death on the cross (Philippians 2:5-11). Thus we are redeemed forever  if we believe in Him and assured eternal life. The following are the last words of the Lord as f He faces crucifixion: First Word: Luke 23:34 “Father, forgive them, for they ...

You Are Not Beyond God’s Mercy

You Are Not Beyond God’s Mercy Some people smile in public but quietly carry heavy regret inside. There are memories they wish they could erase, choices they wish they had never made, and moments they replay over and over in their minds. Guilt has a way of making a person feel stuck—like they must keep punishing themselves for what happened. But God did not create you to live under the weight of shame forever. No matter how far you feel you have fallen, God’s mercy can still reach you. He is not waiting to reject you or remind you of every failure. He is inviting you to come honestly before Him. God already knows the things you are struggling to forgive yourself for, and yet His love for you has not changed. One of the hardest things to do is to accept forgiveness and believe that a new beginning is still possible. But this is the beauty of God’s grace: He cleanses, restores, and gives people another chance. Your past may explain some things, but it does not have to control the rest...

NO MATTER YOUR POSITION

Image
N O  M ATTER  Y OUR  P OSITION     In 2 Samuel 7:2–3, King David, though a powerful and established leader, exemplifies true humility and spiritual maturity. Despite having the authority and resources to build a temple, David did not take matters into his own hands simply because he was king. Instead, he chose to do what was right by first consulting the prophet Nathan. This shows that David recognized God’s ultimate authority and sought His guidance before proceeding with his plans.  THE POWER OF SEEKING PERMISSION David's actions demonstrate that true leadership involves acknowledging God's authority and seeking His guidance. By doing so, David shows that even when we have the power to act, it's essential to prioritize God's will and permission. KEY TAKEAWAYS: 1.  Humility in leadership:  David's approach teaches us that true power lies in humility and recognizing God's sovereignty. 2.  Seeking God's face:  By seeking permission, David...
