It All Begins With Love

 Hello everyone,

Yesterday, we talked about the importance of how we use our words because of its creative abilities and how our words have been the cause of what we experience in our daily lives. However, I also explained that once you receive Christ as Lord of your life, you gain access to the grace which God has given to us. We need to know what God has given to us through meditation which would then reshape our mind-set and utilise the powers and authority of God through Christ. The words of Christ is the most powerful words that heaven and earth bow to, but in tapping into all these which is through faith, there is something which is very important that we need to have, or else we would just be wasting our time.

If you can remember the when Jesus spoke to the fig tree that later withered, you will remember when Jesus said whatever things you ask when you pray, believe and do not doubt and you will have what you prayed for. My point here is what He said after that which is in Mark 11:25-26 which says, “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.” What did Jesus mean there because back then that was the language they understood because Jesus had not been glorified, so their trespasses in form of sin were still very much on them; but now that Jesus has been glorified, what does verse 25 and 26 of Mark 11 really mean? In very simple terms, it means if you don’t have the love of Christ in your heart, nothing would work for you.

When the disciples were astonished at how the tree withered completely in less than a day, Jesus said they should have faith in God, this was the first thing He said. In other words, Jesus was telling them to have the faith of God, which is what every true person who has receive Christ as Lord of their life receives, as I explained that, the faith we now use is the faith of Christ, because only the faith of Christ can truly gain access to the grace of God, but to have the faith of God/Christ in you implies you have the love in you, because God is love [ref. 1 John 4:8]. So you cannot have the love of God and still have something against someone because that is not the trait of God.

…to be continued.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
