God's love unveiled in Christ part 2

FOR GOD SO LOVE THE WORLD AND HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, ...

So therefore, Gos gave himself in the incarnation

Which makes his intention stand so

God is not looking for someone to give, He didn't expect a sacrifice from man, He gave his Son because of us

In the old testament, the Fathers lived in ignorance but yet, the scripture makes us to understand that righteousness are accounted to those whose faith rests on the promise of God intention

And they waited for the redemption, Christ will bring

Psalm 25:5 KJV
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Psalm 25:5 KJV
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Psalm 88:1-4 KJV
O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: [2] Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; [3] For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. [4] I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

So we could see that, they are all waiting for the salvation of God

Which is the love of God to men

But they couldn't see it

So therefore, the scripture is being revealed in the resurrection of Christ

What the old testament folks awaited is what the believers had received today

The incarnation of God is not the work of man but it was God fulfilling his intention in him

Romans 5:8 KJV
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

God commended his love toward us

Died for us when we were yet sinners

He love so he gave himself for us

The mindset of man is foolishness unto God

Paul said, Timothy was wise through him knowing the SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST

It can't be anymore than this

The essence of the scripture is the love of God on christ

And for you to know more about God, you look at Jesus

Whoever claim to know God and not glorying Jesus is like an unbeliever who needs to be saved

Romans 6:22-23 KJV
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. [23] For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ

God's love doesn't look at what you do , it is center on what he has done for you

Matthew 5:44 KJV
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

The love of God doesn't pronounce curses, he blessed the cursed and blessed those who curses

So we see that, God doesn't have issue with Man but rather want man to be free

Galatians 3:13 KJV
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

He redeemed us from the curse of the law

Through his resurrection

So this same love is what we have

The love of God is not in the feelings, emotions of man, its the love of God and it can only be known in Christ

1 John 4:10-11 KJV
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. [11] Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

God didn't pronounce his love to things; money, cars, numbers of children, houses, etc his love is pronounced to the believers in Christ

1 Corinthians 2:1 KJV
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

Paul said, he didn't come to tell about excellency of speech or of wisdom

He did declared the testimony of God in this

1 Corinthians 2:4 KJV
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

He did so in spirit and power

Which is in Christ
John 10:28-30 KJV
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. [30] I and my Father are one.


So the love of God is not revealed in things, it is revealed in the person of Jesus

In his death burial and resurrection

Whoever is found in this love, forever abounds there

Not of his doing but of the doing of who has put him there

So brethren, understand the love of God today, that Christ is the love of God and you cant understand God outside Jesus

GOD'S LOVE UNVEILED IN CHRIST part 1

God's Love unveiled in Christ
(John 3:16)

You see the salvation of the believers is the work of God and not of men

Because from the beginning, God's intention on his reason for creating man stands sure

Genesis 1:26-27 KJV
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. [27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Notice the word, And God said, LET...

This make us understand that, God actually want to creat a man that will be in form of himself and not that of the
devil

In Genesis2, God formed man

And Genesis3, man couldn't meet the intention of God but rather become sinned

What you should understand is that, Man becoming sin does not stop God intention

In Gensis 3, We can see that God covered them with the coat of skin which typify the redemption God will later bring to man

God is not warring with man after man's sin but rather he want man to be saved

1 Timothy 2:3-4 KJV
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; [4] Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Who will have all men to be saved,...

So it is his deeds to save man

And this salvation is the essence of the scripture

2 Timothy 3:15 KJV
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Paul said, Timothy had known the scripture from a child

Which made him wise unto salvation through faith in Christ

The love of God is not found in things, it is found in a person

The love of God is not in how many cars, house ,children we have, it is in a person

John 3:16 KJV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God so love the world and he gave..

In the love of God, we don't give but rather we receive

Because, since the very moment man sinned, His intention remained the same

God is never looking forward to man to offer for his sin but rather he want man to receive the salvation he provided

Genesis 3:15 KJV
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

God said, I WILL

To show that, the work of redemption is not of man but of Himself

When man sinned,his sin made him spiritually dead unto God which is the reason why he couldn't meet the intention of God

But now, we don't look at Adam anymore, we have someone better than Adam

Romans 5:14-15 KJV
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. [15] But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

So we can see that, someone opened the world to sin

But verse 15, there is a change of story

Jesus nullify the sinful nature of man

John 3:16 KJV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Note something, God gave his Son to die

How did he do so?

He did it by his incarnation

John 1:14 KJV
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The word became flesh and dwelled among us

John1:1-5, already made us clear that, the word is God himself

So God's incarnation is Jesus Christ

And the reason for this incarnation is to bring men unto salvation

Change your thinking and change your life

A whole lot of persons want change in life both physical and spiritual, in our lives some it's financial change some it's marital changes while others just want to be better all round. A lot of such persons are frustrated because they do not see the changes they so desperately need, why? because they are looking at the wrong side. For any lasting change to occur it must come from within not without first, it's the inner changes that transform the outer man.so I say

THINK AND SUCCEED.!!
There was  a story of a man who was picked from the slums  and was properly cleaned, shaved and well dressed, he was used as an usher in an event to show people the change that has happened to him,  pictures of his before and after where taken and shown,  to the guest present, it was a successful event someone offered the guy a job, waited for him to resume by Monday but never resumed, what happened? he went back to the slum. You can change a man's cloths and a man's hair but if you don't change his thinking he is still the same person with same mentality good or bad. A man cannot rise above the level of his thinking as a man thinks so is the man. As a man thinks, so is he. As he continues to thinks, so he remains. If he thinks he is poor and sick he remains poor and sick. If he thinks things are difficult for him,things remain difficult. If he thinks anything is impossible, it remain impossible for him.

Proverbs  23:7
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.



As long as a man thinks he is a victim of circumstances, he will be  harassed by those circumstances. The time he chooses to take control of his thinking of his mind and exercise his power to create new circumstances he breaks free.

A man is literally what he thinks. The measure of progress that a man experienced started from the mind every modern invention we see and make use of today are all the inventions of the mind. If you cannot think it you can not make it. Until you are first able to conceive it in your mind you cannot to make it into reality. The mind is the womb from which all great things are born. Think big and live big. Think positively and change your life

Romans  12:2 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.

We alter our lives only to the degree to which we alter our thoughts. Thoughts are powerful. Whether a man succeds or fail, rise or fall, depends basically on the use of his mind, a man's life will always move toward the direction of his dominant thought.
So break free from any thoughts pattern that will not move your life forward, refuse to allow the circumstances of your nation or job to change your confession and thoughts. When we pray for God to change our situation we must first learn to change our thoughts, prayers are answered when our thoughts and prayers are in agreement.

My dear blessed, people let us begin to change the way we see things, our nations, our finances, our health our marriages and begin to develop new dreams for our lives. We,  our family our nations cannot change until we change our thoughts and attitudes. God bless you keep winning.

COMMONIZING THE WORD

This is the major reason that a whole lots of Christians are spiritual failures. Because they depreciate the importance of the word, so they break down daily in life, the adversary can easily manipulate and overcome them in the troubles of life. Some believers have lost value for the word and so therefore they don't have a solid ground on which they stand, some are treating the word as though it were a common book this has lead them to the the  Christian who always depends on others prayers,on someone else interpretation of the word and they stand in church to claim prayers and prophetic words from a preacher but don't have a place for the word of God. This set of believers has no life of his own he is totally dependent on another just like a child depends on the mother all through the infant stage. 

When you treat the word as a common book you will not grow as a believer because the very food that Feeds your spirit man is not well taken. Such believer remains a baby and as a baby he can not get hold of the reality of sons. 

Hebrews  5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

When there is no growth no development and the word  doesn't mean much to you, it's because of the value that you have placed on the word, what you see in the word are hurt and condemnation your imperfections and this makes you feel miserable and in all there is no life coming to you from the word. All because the focus has been shifted. We have to take the word the way the father takes it as his love letter to us to help us walk in freedom of life,  as the very breath of the almighty. 

When you look at your life its totally opposite of what the word says about you, it's no time to get enclosed but to go to the word with all sincerity and allow the word work wonders. 

You are to take your place in the word by living it, acting it, and there by grow don't remain a babe an undeveloped spirit. 

Galatians  4:1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

Despite all things are yours all grace has been poured on you,  all of God's provisions are yours in Christ and your health has been perfected on the cross. You will not get to enjoy or manifest all these things because you are still a child a babe, this is the reason we have so many grown men in church but spiritually dull, because they have made the word of no effect. 

Matthew  7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Until you start practicing the word your mind will not be renewed,  until we make a deliberate effort to start doing the word putting it to practice  you will not grow James said be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own self. So my dear stand up decide to grow decide to get better decide to allow the word  rule and have its place in your life. You must study to show yourself approved unto God. The lord's arm are open to reveal the hidden treasure of the word to you and help you grow into maturity and flourish above the circumstances that rules the men of the sense realm
. God bless you as you take hold of the word keep winning.

The reality of the word

Until the church comes to the realization of the reality of the word we will keep producing average believers. The word of God spoken and written in the scripture are the very essence of God. They are as real today as at when they were first spoken. Jesus is the very life of the word, Jesus is the word, all creation are a function of the word and this same word is what believers use to shape their own world their lives their health,  there is nothing that can escape the reality of the word. So what do you want to shape  and put in order in your life?  take hold of the word and the creative abilities that the wod has.

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.

God always uses the word to do things, just as a man cannot be separated from his word so also you cannot separate the father from the word

John
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

The word is Christ revealed, present in our everyday life speaking the heart of God to us. The word comes alive in your heart as you lovingly act on it, spoken with a heart of love the word becomes a living force. those whose lives are out of fellowship with the father and living in the sense realms don't see the power in the word.
The word is always NOW. It's the word that makes our ministry and lives limitless in all areas, the Word is the mind of the Father,  the will of the father and its the father speaking. His word is what He is in totality.

Matthew  4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

When we feed on the word it becomes a reality and dominate every of our lives making us win, the food that produces energy and life within a believer's life is the word. So eat the word and let it rule your emotions and change your character.

Jeremiah  15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

God is not only in the word, but he breathes His very life through it as it unfolds in the lives of believers

In conclusion, always remember every word that God speaks has life in it and its His very will and mind it has prevailing ability to make all things work it has healing and restoration power. The word has the authority of God in it, has the righteousness of God in it.  so take it personally as a direct word to you and you will win always. Let word dwell in you richly it saves the lost heals the sick delivers the oppressed. Get soaked in the word that it becomes your very language and becomes part of you. Forming a Godly character in you.

Winning with the word part 1

The word of God is the foundation of our work and walk with God. So it's important we know and understand the importance and efficiency of the word.
Your attitude toward the word determines the place God holds in your life on a daily basis. Never take the message like messages from an ordinary book. You should take the word personally as though  the lord is standing with you in your privacy. You have to understand the word is originally  God and the word became flesh and now the word is designed to take the place of Jesus here on earth.


John  1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The word takes the personality of christ and works within us to bring us to the place of God's love and provision we become established not shaken by any waves.
When weakness comes remember the word I am the strength of your life.
When you need financial help remember the Lord will supply all your needs.
When your health is threatened by Satan use the word for by his stripes we were healed.
At the this point you keep winning because the word of God never fails, its written that my word shall not return void, empty. When ever God's word is spoken in faith it goes to perform that for which it was sent. You can send the word into your life, your finances, health, marriage, job, ministry, and all sphere of life and it will produce abundantly. The words of man fails over and over but the word is impregnated with the very life of God, remember Jesus said the words I speak unto you they are spirit and they are life.

Hebrews  4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
 4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

From here we see the word takes on a personality, becomes christ himself. Our contact with God is through the word. As we search through the word we are in contact with the father. From the above scripture we see that nothing is hidden from the word, this shows that the word can see has eyes. It's a living thing, the Word has the very life of God in it. The word feeds our inner man imparts faith into our spirit.,builds love into our spirit. The word becomes a vital thing in our everyday life. If we must win in life it must be by the word. Keep winning.
