Agape Love
‘Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged’ 1 Cor.13:4-5.
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right’ 2 Tim.3:16. How is your love walk? Agape is God’s Love. Embodied in Jesus is the perfect example of God’s love. This is the strongest kind of love and is the pillar on which every other kind of love should lean on. In other words, every other kind of love finds it’s existence and essence in the agape love. Agape love is the love that lasts forever. ‘And I am Read the rest of this entry
Eros Love
‘For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh’ Eph. 5:31.
Eros love from which the word erotic derives it’s origin is love between a husband and his wife. It is sexual love designed by God for the institution of marriage. The world has tried to pollute and corrupt this kind of love by promoting it as cheap emotions responded to only on instinct. The truth is that God designed it as a fulfilling kind of intimacy reserved solely for married couples. If you are currently sleeping with someone who is not your husband or someone who is another person’s husband, what you are doing is not the eros kind Read the rest of this entry
Phileo love
‘A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another’ John 13:34-35
The word love has been broadly used and because of this many people don’t have a clear understanding of what love is truly about. There are many aberrations of love which people have come up with to suit their circumstances and for their convenience. The Bible recognizes three kinds of love – Agape, Eros, and Phileo. Phileo is the brotherly love we share and have for one another. This kind of love can fade with the challenges of life. Esau did not start out hating Jacob. He must have loved him as a brother would. But when Jacob stole his Read the rest of this entry
Who Are You?
‘For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus [born anew] that we might do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us…’ Eph.2:10 [AMP]
A major key to achieving internal peace is knowing who you are. You are not what you earn. You have billions yes but you are not a billionaire. That is not who you are. People who think of themselves in terms of what they earn, as soon as they experience a challenge in their finances it affects their core. You are not what you possess. You are not what happened to you. You may have been a victim of rape but do not remain a victim. You may have undergone divorce but don’t remain a victim. You are not what happened to you. Neither Read the rest of this entry
Peace Within
‘For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago’ Eph.2:10
The third kind of peace that God wants us to pursue is internal peace. The reason why wars continue in our homes and in our relationships is because if our vertical peace is unstable then we have issues with our relationships. Secondly, it is impossible to have peace without when there is war within. So if the person you are in a relationship with consistently hurts you, you may want to check if the person is at peace with himself/herself. If they hate themselves, they cannot love you because they cannot give what they do not Read the rest of this entry
Within Your Power
‘If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men’ Rom.12:18 [NKJV].
We need to understand that God has called us to be peacemakers and not necessarily peace achievers. There is a difference because peacemakers don’t always achieve peace. Peace achievers think they have failed if they do not achieve peace. A peacemaker longs for, works for, sacrifices for peace, and prays for peace. But the attainment of peace may or may not come. It is possible for you to seek for peace and peace would not come. ‘Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone’ Rom.12:18. Sometimes it does not lie with you Read the rest of this entry
Take A Stand
‘But Peter said, I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk! Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up…’ Acts 3:6-7
Never be afraid to draw the line with your God. God honors the word of his servants. He will honor you. In your office, say to them if God is alive this is what is going to happen and watch God honor His Name. While on a project in the northern part of Nigeria, two men approached me. The older was crippled and was being carried by the younger man and they were begging for alms. So I said to them that I know they are Muslims and I respect that but I know someone, His Name is Jesus, if Jesus does not heal him, referring to the Read the rest of this entry
King of kings
‘You are blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family’ Matt.5:9 [MSG]
Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God. There are a lot of wars and killings going on in our world today because of ‘religion’. People are snuffing other peoples’ lives in defense of their god. People are doing all sorts of strange things in the Name of God. Listen to me, if your god cannot fight for himself something is wrong with that god. The church learnt a long time ago that God is greater than any insult from any movie. Do you know how many people have abused Jesus? Does that stop Him from being Read the rest of this entry
Legitimate Child
‘Finally, Abraham said, Lord , please don’t be angry with me if I speak one more time. Suppose only ten are found there? And the Lord replied, then I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten’ Gen.18:32.
When Abraham was negotiating with God, he went from fifty, to forty, to thirty, to twenty, and finally to ten people. But in marriage, will you go for one person? So if you have a marriage or a relationship that is not going anywhere because there is constant strife both of them are not peacemakers. When God cannot find one person that is willing to pursue peace in that marriage, the marriage is in trouble. Are you the peacemaker? Now decree Read the rest of this entry
Be The Peacemaker!
‘Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us’ Rom.5:1.
To connect us with God, there is only one avenue and that is the person of Jesus. Once the vertical peace is sorted out, God expects us to pursue horizontal peace, which is peace between you and the people around you. ‘Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord’ Heb.12:14. Holiness means to follow peace with God. This scripture is saying sort out your vertical and then sort Read the rest of this entry
