Love Like God To Be With God 4

Finally, we need to be weary. In the end we will not stand together with our leaders and be judged according to what they have thought us.

The Bible is for us to read and understand on our own, we are in the end times and Christ said
in Matthew 24:10 – 12 (NLT), “And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. And many false prophets will appear and will lead many people astray. Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will
grow cold.”

The key line we are looking at today is “ And many false prophets will appear and will lead many people astray”. There are many false prophets springing up everywhere, awarding people for doing things for God and creating an atmosphere of competition in their church. This award and this competition only rubs the
congregation of their rewards in heaven, and if you are part of such a congregation, please leave
and seek God in a place where, they leave the reward of your good deeds to the one who can truly reward you with eternal life.

It is paramount that we share these messages with you, so that you can fully understand what is important and remove from your thinking any knowledge of false teachings and also because we are in the end times.

Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to see where all these false prophets are hiding so that I can get out of their midst. And, Lord if You see me moving in a crowd of false doctrine teachers; lead me away from them, in Jesus mighty name.

“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” – 1 John 4:8 (KJV)

If we have come to understand that love is what we need to make heaven, then what is it that we do that is not classified as love?

1. Self-glory : We have treated more than once that you should not seek glory for yourself, see all that you do as a gift to the soul that receives it. If you seek glory,
desiring to be patted on the back for the great job that you have done, then don’t expect that a
record or reward of what you have done is being recorded in heaven.

Matthew 6:1 “Take care!
Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired, because then you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.” (NLT)

It may be hard to understand what has been said here because we as humans want to receive glory, but let me tell you, if you go on a soul
winning trip so as to get a reward in church, then you will lose your crowns in heaven. If you give
financially so that you can get noticed in church, you will lose your reward in heaven.

Impatience and full of oneself: “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged.”
2 Corinthians 13:4 – 5 (NLT)

We need to love correctly, not the false adulterated love that the world gives for its glory, but the one that seeks the glory of the one and only creator.

Prayer: Lord, I ask again let me love like You,
work on me from now on to be more like Christ.

Love Like God To Be With God 2

We shall continue, on who God is and what He expects from us.

To love is more than mere talk, James 2: 14 –17 “What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.”

Acts of faith, no matter how it comes out, if it is without love, then it is as good as dead. Yesterday we saw that even Christ rejected people who did acts of faith in the area of doing miracles, all because something was missing, here is what Christ is looking out for:

Matthew 25:32 – 45
All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate them as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats… Then the
King will say to those on the right ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you… For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’…And the King will tell them, ‘I assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and
sisters, you were doing it to me!’

“Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his
demons! For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me anything to drink. I was a stranger, and you
didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me no clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’

“Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’ And he will answer, ‘I assure you, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters,
you were refusing to help me.’

Note, the criteria that Christ used to separate these people, is not the amount they have given, or the miracles that they have done, it is the love that they have shown. These people cared for the people of God, they won souls, not winning them so as to get a reward here on earth, but winning them because they don’t want them to perish. They also visited them, clothed them and fed them.
That is what Christ is looking out for. The miracles that you are able to perform are secondary to the love you are expected to show.

Prayer: Jesus, all I want is to be more like You.

“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is
love.” – 1 John 4:8 (KJV)

At the very end it is love that counts. I want to redirect your mind to who God is. God is love
and in the end what will be the final determining factor between a real Christian and a false one will be love.

Christ said in Matthew 24:10 – 12 (NLT), “And
many will turn away from me and betray and
hate each other. And many false prophets will
appear and will lead many people astray. Sin will
be rampant everywhere, and the love of many
will grow cold.”

It is not the amount that you have given, or the miracles you have done, or the people that you have raised from death or the sick that you have healed or the fact that you can speak in tongues “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass“ (1 Corinthians 13:1) . The factor
that will separate the sheep form the goats is love.

Christ said , “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy
name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
– Matthew 7: 21 – 23 (KJV)

Prayer: Lord, fill me with love, let me love like
You and fill my heart with the knowledge that
acts of faith (miracles) without love will not lead
me to heaven.

This is My Plea!

April 2, 2015April 2, 20152 Comments

Hi. My name is Yahweh and I come from a State called Forever. I bet you’ve heard my story before so I’ll just give a few lines here just to get straight to the point.

I live just across the street so you can find me anywhere, anytime. However its not been that easy catching up with you. I know you been busy; a lot of times you’ve had to show up and say hi. A lot more times however, you didn’t. I know you’ve had to go through so much stress so often. You’ve got kids, work to do, stuff to attend to, business to manage. The technology that makes life easy ironically makes the world faster and your world harder. Yeah, I know; at least, I guess so. I guess that’s why you’ve not been picking my calls lately either. And then I wait all day long just to hear from you, waiting by my phone, hoping you’d care to call. Dashing my hopes every minute I thought I heard my cell phone ring only to find that there’s not as much as a missed call from you.

Point is, I’m guessing you’ve had old friends to meet, addresses to locate, invitations to honor, assignments to submit, cases to close, colleagues to deal with. That’s not to say I haven’t got any of those but I always have time carved out just for you. Yet I don’t fall in any part of your schedule? I mean, is that it? Cos you haven’t as much time to even at least write and say why you won’t be coming; and I thought we had a relationship.

So I want to ask. I want to lay it down right here, right now, straight as an arrow. What do you say? You know I couldn’t just break up with you even if I wanted to. Why? Cos I love you so much already, I cant! I just cant! So what do you say? One advice: decide for yourself. It wont do you any good to just let the ‘nays’ have it, cos you are your own man. And c’mon, I just want you to be happy.

You know, I’m done guessing cos all this guessing just wont make any sense in our relationship, just as it wouldn’t in any. I’m just saying, talk to me. Just talk. Tell me ’bout your fears, your day, your feelings. Let us talk about faith, about love, about anything you can ever think of! I am saying, learn to talk to me. Just talk. Just come to me anyhow and we’ll talk some more. Beat time and come. I mean, what have you got to lose?
So this is it. My name is Yahweh. I am just, and this, this is my plea.

Signed

Yahweh

WWF – UPGRADING YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF GOD

March 4, 2015March 4, 2015Leave a comment

My heart has seriously been inditing a good matter. The word relationship with God has been coming to my heart. I saw the story of Enoch again in Genesis, and I remembered how as a teenager I’ve clamored to walk with God like Enoch did. There’s a song in my language that is composed in that line: Let me walk with You (referring to God) as worthy and acceptable… I used to sing this song from a very sincere heart then, though I didn’t understand the Word of God then as I do now.

God’s Spirit has been making me see that many in our generation don’t know so much of having a relationship with God. It’s been religion all the way with them. We yell at God always in prayer. We do unbecoming things with God, ‘cos we don’t understand being in a relationship with God.

Let’s try to understand the concept of relationship on human to human level, then we will enjoy God better. In a true relationship, no one is trying to please another per se, all because we felt pleased with each other that’s why we come together in the said relationship. Amos 3:3 says, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” This means, except they are pleased with each other they will not even think of walking together to begin with. As a guy, a lady is pleasing to me then I approach her to ask her out. If I am also pleasing to her, she accepts my proposal and then the journey of a life of bliss begins, by each just being themselves and absolutely plain. There will be ups and downs for sure, but because of the mutual understanding between us we will surely walk through it together in victory always.

This is exactly the story with us and God. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believed in Him should not perish, but have eternal life, John 3:16. God fell in love with us. He was pleased with us, even with our dirty living and our sinful nature. He walked up to us to tell us of His love for us. Of how He would like to spend His whole life with us. We were like, “Hmm, how on earth would You consider me with all my messes?” But He did anyways and said “It’s no trouble. I’m okay with you. I’m okay with that”. After so much persuasion from Him, we finally gave in, ‘cos we were pleased with His poetic words, and the firmness and sincerity of the tone of His voice.

Now why are we beginning to think we need to be doing lots of things to get His attention? Wait a minute, who is getting whose attention here? Perhaps, we have lost the sense of our relationship with Him. We yell at Him to get things from Him. We are never simple with Him. We shout and scream in prayer until we lose our voice many a time. Sometimes we talk to Him as if talking to an enemy. Can you imagine a wife screaming at her husband to get His attention at home every time? People around will surely know that something must be wrong with their relationship. Actually, we may need yelling once in a while, because we feel Him far from us, and maybe because we are in a deep trouble but what we do after that counts. Jesus Christ also yelled at Him on the cross, ‘cos He felt like God had rejected Him but He finally said, Into Your hands I commend My Spirit. That’s a word borne out of a sincere and deep sense of relationship. Such words always reflects an absolute trust.

My brethren, if we have sincerely and from our heart accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, then we should know that our Father God is pleased with us. We smell good unto God. 2Cor. 2:16 says, “For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ…’ I pray God help us with a kind of relationship with Him according to His heart for us. Amen.

God bless
