MARRIAGE, LOVE & COMMITMENT..

LOVE PERSONIFIED

"💍 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and He slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.
👫 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
🐎 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
👁 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and Were Not Ashamed."

(Genesis 2 :21-25)

Life is all about Love which is the way God commanded man (Male and female) to live (2 John 6). Having said that, it simply implies "life Is All About Relationships." Life is not worth living unless you spent it for others.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15, "For The Love Of God Compels Us, Because We Are Convinced That One Died For All, And Therefore All Died.
👉 And That He Died For All, That Those Who Live SHOULD NO LONGER LIVE FOR THEMSELVES But For Him Who Died For Them, And Was Raised Again."

This is why the Scriptures tell us To Love Our Neighborhoods As We Love Ourselves. How can you give what you don't have? Why Are We So Obsessed And Frustrated About What We Don't Have? Do You Not Know That We Have To Use What Have To Get What We Don't Have? May God Saved Us From OurSelves.

Self Is Our Greatest Enemy! We don't live for ourselves! The flesh which many mistakenly think is their body, is a low way of thinking that manifests (fulfils) self (Selfish ambitions). You Did Not Start You Which Emphasizing The Vitality Of You Discovering Why AND What You Were Born For? Please never miss "the Why Of What". Since we all know, "Where We Are, How We Got There But Who Can Tell Why You Are Where You Are? Love Is The Way. Love Will Always Finds Its Place.

2 Corinthians 3 :4-6;

"And Such Trust (Confidence) Have We Through Christ Towards God.
🙏🏻 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; ... For The Letter (law) Kills, But The Spirit Gives Life."

Our competence is not of ourselves but of Jehovah God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth. Our God Is Our Strength And Ability. The self will always cease love and so will love do nothing less but the same. Self kills love and love kills self.
Self Is Selfish (Self-centered); While Love Is Selfless (Self-giving). Giving is living i.e. if life is all about love then love is proven by what one gives (Eccl 1:7).

"Therefore, I Tell You, Her Many Sins Have Been Forgiven - 'FOR SHE LOVES MUCH'. But He Who Has Been Forgiven Little Loves Little,"
Luke 7:47.

Love Therefore Is Learning To Cease To Be A Prisoner Of Self, But Being Free To Share And Free To Give. Love Who God Is, Is A Giving Spirit. Love Is A Person. Love Is Who He (God) Is, Love Is What He Gives.

The God of Love is full of love. He takes of Himself and that is what He gives. He is Love Personified! Love Gives The Best Of You And Also Brings The Best Of The Other party. Love Is The Best Of One (both of you), Not One Of You. Do You Know Your Value? I AM WORTH THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION GOD! I AIN'T CHEAP, I AIN'T ORDINARY, I AM SUPERNATURAL, I AM A RARE SPECIES! Love Is Who GOD Is, Love Is What He Gives! This is why John 1:16 tells us, "Of His Fullness Have We Received, And Grace for Grace."

Jesus the Word Of God become flesh, dwelt among us and we saw his glory, the glory as of then, of the only begotten of the father who was then and now is, full of Grace and truth (John 1:14). Saints, when you attend a burial, what you see as a corpse is a body. Not the person you knew before. A person therefore is a spirit being. A Spirit is Housed In A body. The Holy Spirit is housed by (lives in) the human spirit and the human spirit is housed in the body (1Cori 6:17, 19-20; 3:16).

Love is a Spirit (a Person). In the Hebrew culture, "Love is taught and therefore learnt." It is a Character (sum of your habits), a Nature and a Life (a way of living). It is the way God commanded us to live (2John 6). It is a Commandment (John 14:21,23-24). Commandments are given to be obeyed by and in doing, not just by being willing. Note, zeal without revelational knowledge is useless (Pro 19:2).

A Spirit is a Source of life. It is the fullness of life that overflows. It is the spirit that gives life (1Cori 15:45, John 6:63). You hear statements like, It is the spirit of somebody that ... Interpreting it, Someone's spirit that lives in a particular earth suit (body) ...

Here is the Secret:

🍓 It is a Spirit (person) that gives gifts. The person of the Holy Spirit imparts into us gifts (Hebrews 2:4, 1Cori 12:4). We too who are spirits housed in a body physically and spiritually give gifts to others; and also most importantly serve others with our giftings (talents) (Romans 1:11, 1Cori 12:7).

The key to life is finding you area of gifting that becomes your domain. Every one of us was born to dorminate a certain area of life with your Gift. Your area of gifting is your domain. The discovery of your Domain becomes the discovery of your purpose and leadership i.e. The discovery of your purpose is the source of your Personal leadership. Leadership has a lot to do with "Self-Discovery" before you can freely share yourself than it has to do with controlling people. When you find your Gift, you will start to attract people. True leaders don't seek followers, followers are attracted to the Gift of the Leader.

God through his Spirit has gived us with divers giftings (talents) not to rule over others but to use them to serve others and to help bring them closer to Him. People are not attracted you because you are a leader or a head. They attracted to your gift. Our similarities bring us comfort while our difference create our value. And Love Is My Response To Understanding The Value of Something!

👁 Meaning, love is something you can't walk away from. LOVE Is Given By The Hands But Its Virtue (Excellence) Is Of The Heart (The Spirit)!
Simply, Gifts are an overflow of a Person, Source or Spirit!

🍓 Love Is A Sacrificial Commitment (Genesis 22:2). It is anticipating (discerning) a need and taking care of it.
Love Is The Reason For Love.

PRAYER:

Precious Father, God Of Love, You Are THe Fullness And Therefore, the Source (Person) Of Love. Jesus Christ Is The Performance of Your Love In My Life, Which Love Has Been Shed abroad (Poured Out) Into My Spirit man (Heart) By Your Spirit. Holy Spirit You Are Welcome In My life As Love Embodied. Fill My Heart With All Of You, MAKE Every Moment Of My Days, Tell Of Who You Are, That World May Know, The God Of Love. For Love Is Who You Are And What You Give. You My Love Came Down To Earth, To Redeem Humanity Who Were Lost In Sin, And You Have Won Us Over To Yourself Including Myself. I Am Lost In Your Love. I Have Received The Full Rights To Be Son, full Of, and Led Of Your Spirit. I Have The Ability To Give And The Ability To Receive Love. To The Glory Of God The Father, Son And The Holy Spirit. Amen.
