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

True Riches

 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? (Luke 16:11) KJV New International Version So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? Would you want to be rich ? You may so know ,but truth is the majority of humankind would prefer to be rich then poor. And yet only a few people are rich while the rest are in the middle class or poor. Question? Which one would you rather be? 1. A farmer  2. A beggar I know the answer already. All of you would choose to be a farmer. Who in their right mind would want to be a beggar? A farmer provides to society and is a person who has resources; while a beggar, well, just begs and consumes. A farmer works hard to produce and provide, while a beggar waits for resources to be provided to him. One of the reasons rich people are few, is because it requires a lot of efforts to become rich. Supply chains While the beggar is waiti...

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's no healing. I pray to God for better finances but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles. I am on the verge of given up. I might as 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 good. We had a great time in our youth, we believed in love, we believed that the future was bright, we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way harship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, broken aspiration sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly life becomes dark and hopeless. But somewhere along the way, we heard the voice of God. We hear someone preached, " come to Jesus and all will be well, come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart." And so we come to Jesus hoping tha...
