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 ❤🙏🏾

Constantine won the battle and started on the path that led him to become the sole ruler of the Roman empire. But something interesting happened before the battle, Constantine who was a pagan at the time claimed to have received a vision from God. On October 27 with the armies preparing for battle, Constantine claimed to had a vision which led him to fight under the protection of  the Christian God. According to the message of Eusebius of Ceasarea, around noon, Constantine saw a luminous cross in the sky and under it the inscription in Greek," in this sign thou shalt conquer. " Constantine also claimed to had a dream in which Christ commanded him to use the sign of the cross against his enemies. Constantine became the first emperor to convert to Christianity.  He ended the policy of persecuting Christians and in 313...

Second Beast of Revelation Revealed part 1

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Revelation 13:11 This prophecy speaks about a nation rising at the end of time that will seem to represent Christ but will actually be against Him. In this small study, we will reveal that nation. Below are some symbolic terms in prophecy needed in order to follow this study. Beast : a political entity, a state or empire Earth : symbolizes a place that is not heavily populated, unlike the sea. The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."  Revelation 17:15 Horns : Horns represent kings and kingdoms, or governments.

The spiritual nature and the degradation of marriage

Man was made in the image of God.  What does it mean to be made in the image of God? What is God like ? The Bible says "God is a Spirit." What comes to mind when you think of a Spirit? You think of something not limited by physical restraints, something unseen, something greater than the physical.  God made man in His image, He made a spiritual being covered by an earthly body. We all have the breath of God within us, we all have a spirit within us. The spirit within is the real person, the character.  With the spiritual nature we relate to God and with the earthly nature we relate to the earth.  So let's break it down a little bit so we can understand . What are the things we find in the spiritual nature ?  In the spiritual nature we find love, patience, longsuffering, mercy etc.. The spiritual nature is all about relationships, that's the most important to the spiritual nature, its highest goal. Why do I say this ? Remember what we said in the beginning, "God ...
