Walking with GOD: Seeking YWHW

Happy New Year All. Yes, it is the Tenth day, of the Second month, in the year Two thousand and Fourteen, and here I am wishing you a  Happy New Year. Rather Late than never.

I have decided this year to experience God in a deeper way. How I don't know yet, but my anchor Scripture comes from Mathew 6:33 "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need." (NLT)

I have realized that this is the principal thing. We all need to find God in all we do. We all need to put Him first in our decision making. This is my Journey. To try as much as possible to commit everything, however little to God.

Christ said about the greatest commandments. Mathew 22:36-40 ^"You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments."

How then do we Love God, by obeying his commandments. How do we obey his commandments by living like Jesus did. Living for Christ.

How do we love our neighbor. First by giving them the best of what we have. What is the best. The Gospel of the good news. What more can we have than eternal life with our King Jesus. Once we are all transformed into the nature of Christ, Loving and Living in unity will come easy.

Lets go out and show the Love of GOD and proclaim the good news.To Seek God first we need to Love him above and do His will.

Till next time Maranatha.

Christ-Like Attitude (4): Love

For God so Loved us and He gave us Christ who exemplified the kind of Love we should show towards all mankind.

The central truth of the Christian lifestyle is that of Love (John 3:16). Love for God, Love for Neighbors, and Love for ourselves (Matt 22: 37-39). 

If we Love God we will seek to please Him and do all that promotes His Glory on Earth and that which makes Him Happy. Christ Loved God that in All He did, He ensured that it was to His Fathers Glory and that the Almighty was pleased with Him (John 14:15-26).

If we love our Neighbor we promote peace and show the Love of God working through us. Christ shows us how to love our Neighbors by the numerous acts of kindness and compassion He showed towards individuals and His ultimate sacrifice for Mankind on the cross. He was willing to go the extra mile to make a Sacrifice whiles we were yet Sinners (Romans 5:6-7).

If we Love ourselves we are confident in our Identity in Christ and are willing to suffer shame for Him knowing that He lives in us and we are not trying to please men. For Christ to accomplish all he did,for Him to love God and love His neighbor (Sinners Like Us) He knew who He was, He knew His identity  he knew His purpose, He knew His calling. He did not waver but stood by His belief and principles (Philippians 2: 5-11). To be able to accomplish our destinies we need to Identify our purpose, stand by its conviction and be confident in who God has made us to be. Then we can Love God with all our Heart and Soul and also show love and compassion to our Neighbor.

My Prayer is that as Christians we will continue to grow in the fullness of love and avoid the trap of pride and give ourselves to be led and used by God Almighty. 

Maranatha. Remain Blessed.
