Loving Christ ❤

 Marriage 🤵🏾👰🏽 is an extremely  sacred symbol , for marriage represents the union of Christ and us, Christ and the church. So how do I know I love Jesus ❤? Is it based on how I feel today ? Is it based on how I felt when I got baptized? No, friends, loving Jesus is not based on how I feel but on a principle. 

And what is the principle that will show I love Jesus 🤔? I'll let Jesus speak for Himself. In John 15:10, Jesus says if you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in His love ❤. Love for Jesus is revealed not based on how we feel but on keeping His commandments. It requires a commitment

So it goes like this, when you accept Christ,  when you decide to marry Him at the altar of baptism 🤵🏾👰🏽, Jesus vow to love you to the death, to die for you and you vow to obey Him to the death, to crucify self daily for Him. Jesus promises to love you forever and you promise to obey Him forever ❤.

I may not feel like obeying Jesus today, but when I remember my vow 🤵🏾👰🏽, I say Lord help me to obey you today. I may not feel like loving my spouse today 🤵🏾👰🏽, but when I remember my vow, I say Lord help me to love my spouse today. This is love ❤, this is commitment. This is what it means to love Jesus.

Love ❤ is a principle and not just a feeling. To love requires commitment, faithfulness, perseverance during tough times. Feelings change moment by moment but love endures difficult moments .

So friends, let us ask Jesus for the power to keep all His commandments and to abide in His love. Let our prayers be, Lord in good or bad times, for better or worse, help me to be faithful and to keep your commandments, I love you Lord, help me to abide in your love ❤🙏🏾

The sanctuary in Heaven

Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9 "According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9 God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven? Copy of the True Tabernacle The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also? They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5

Is the United States a Christian nation?

 Why calling the United states a Christian country is detrimental to Christianity.  The United states was clearly influenced by Christian principles; The pilgrims were escaping persecutions from Europe and while many of them practiced Christianity, they were still suffering persecution in Europe from state churches. The founding fathers, some being Christians, made sure to separate the church from the state. They well knew of the carnage that comes as a result of having a state religion. And so, the US became one of the rare countries without a state religion. Each person was left to follow the dictate of his own conscience.  When you call a country by a specific religion, people associate all of its behaviors with said religion. Note this example: Slavery was an institution in the United states; this would also mean that the brutality of slavery was accepted a Christian precept. Even the mistreatment of the Indians would have been considered a Christian precept. In fact,...

When God calls you. The fiery way to God

 "Why is my life so hard? Why are these things happening to me? I pray to God for healing, but there is no healing. I pray for better finances, but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles; I am on the verge of giving up. I might as well live life the way I want to and hope to die soon. Have these thoughts ever come to your mind? These are thoughts many will encounter as they ascend the mountain of God. For many of us, life began well. We had a great time in our youth; we believed in love, we believed the future was bright, and we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way, hardship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, or broken aspirations sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly, life became dark and hopeless. But then, we heard the voice of God. We heard someone preach, 'Come to Jesus and all will be well; come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart.' So we came to Jesus, hoping that we were back on ...
