LOVE IS HOLINESS

REMAIN BLESSED FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN

DATE: February 13, 2022

TOPIC: LOVE IS HOLINESS   

TEXT: MATHEW 22:37-40

Key verse: John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

The believers who are sanctified, who have the light of Christ gloriously shining in them, who have finished the work of the cross and have the  mark of Jesus Christ upon them, are the people who also manifest love as evidence, their allegiance and fellowship with CHRIST. 

Love is their language by manifestation. All the law refers to all the writings of Moses, then adding the poetic and prophetic writings of proverbs and psalms, and also the writings from Joshua all the way up to Malachi are considered as the writings of love. 

So JESUS refers to all the law. All that Moses and the prophets wrote about is Love. So then, holiness is to live in love; which is love towards God and love towards one's neighbour.

Matthew 22:37-40

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

How should your love toward God be? The Bible tells us that it should be with all your heart. If your heart is worth one hundred thousand dollars, it means that you should give the whole of it to GOD. Anything short of that is not holiness because the Bible says with all your heart and with all your strength. 

Then with your entire mind; which deals with your thoughts, your pleasures, delight and joy. Your whole heart should praise the LORD. Angels give the whole of their beings to the praise of God.Again you must love with all your might and with all your ability. 

Anything you can do is for God. You are to offer your strength willingly and work without considering time or tiredness, because the name of the LORD is involved in what you are doing. Then the Bible says also that you should love your neighbour to the point you love yourself. 

The good you wish for yourself, wish the same for your neighbour and the evil you do not wish for yourself, do not wish it for your neighbour. That is how the life of a true believer should be in complete holiness. 

Thought for the day: Holiness is to live in love

Song for the day: I love Him…

Bible reading for the day: Leviticus 15-17; 
Matthew 27:1-31.  #Horemow

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
