Reblogged from Lizzieebunoluwa's blog.
Holla blogfam!I do hope you having a blessings blast(like fruit blast) as i’ve been.Eerm,i’m not lazy o! Work has been going on in t̶h̶e̶ ̶l̶i̶f̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶s̶i̶d̶e̶-̶c̶h̶i̶c̶k̶ ̶ my other blog(www.elisabethezekiel.blogspot.com). I uh,don’t have any explanations for this infidelity and since t̶h̶e̶r̶e̶’̶s̶ ̶n̶o̶ ̶f̶e̶a̶r̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶L̶o̶v̶e̶ its all for the greater good.I’ll continue the relationship.
Interestingly,I wanna talk about Love in this post.Who Love really is and the true definition of Love.
Simply put,GOD(is)LOVE.#̶T̶h̶a̶t̶s̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶!
If I ended the post here.Its complete.Its all you need to know.His whole essence is characterized by manifold expressions of Love,unconditional and unfailing.
Infact the Love of God,immense and immeasurable is the reality of God to us.Its in those marked expressions of Love-backed mercy,intervention,blessings and deliverance that the reality of God is reaffirmed.Something spectacular happens to you..it just comes home to you that there is indeed a God.I recall an amazing blogger’s post “God is in my Orange”.Check her out http://www.inthemidstofher.com
In the words of Chuck Swindoll,”God’s unqualified love and acceptance are behind His every command”.His not-grevious commands are as a result of His love for you.That in them,You might enjoy life in its fullest forms…
”Josh 1:8- This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success”.
. Every word and deed is motivated by His covenant,unrelenting,passionate love for us in spite of our ourselves.It is not a CONDITIONAL REWARD;Its a GIFT!Love is the only acceptable Law in this new covenant initiated,witnessed,responded to and guaranteed by God.It was strictly God!A covenant between God and witnessed by God.The old covenant had too much of man who, more often than not couldn’t keep his part of the bargain.Our real source is the Covenant.Everything else (Gifts and Fruits of the Holy spirit,who by the way is our covenant companion)are seals,expressions of His FULL provisions for us.All we need to activate this covenant is Faith in Jesus…”Gal 5:6-For in Christ,nothing counts but FAITH that works by Love”.
This Love is sooo beautiful!Its Love in its purest,realest forms.God defined Love as it should be.God is such a love-being that like someone said,”Jesus ‘s only crime was love”.It was love that led to the sufferings,crucifixion,death&burial.
Here are my thoughts..Did you know that?
-Jesus is the (ultimate expression of the) Love of God to man..”John 3:16-For God so loved….That He gave ..”
-(The gospel/good news of)Jesus is the Power of God(that saves) to man….”Romans 1:16″
-Jesus is the express image(Bestest,Beauty-Full Mirror Reflection) of God’s Person there is….”Hebrews 1:3-Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;”
-Jesus Christ is the Righteousness of God to man…..”Romans 3:21,22-But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference”
“Romans 10:3,4-For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”
“Phil 1:11-11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.”
“2 Cor 5:21-For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
-Jesus is the cardinal framework of our Faith.Everything revolves around Him….”Hebrews 12:2- The author and finisher of our Faith”
-Jesus is the completion of our belief in God.Total belief in Jesus(and his finished works) is the key to salvation….”John 14:1-Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” same as Acts 16:30,31.
-Jesus is the WAY!He is God made manifest in the flesh…
“John 14:6,7-6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. “
“John 14:10,11-Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. “
-Jesus is our Peace.He was the FINAL SACRIFICE to procure our peace.His blood bought it.No more need for animal sacrifices and what not.Isaiah 9:6
-Jesus is the all-encompassing PROVISION of the Covenant to man,expressing all that pertains to Life and (Living the life of God) Godliness.
I have known (and still do) the Supernatural,Mind-blowing,Unconditional,Inexplicably-Overwhelming Love of God in multi-dimensional ways…You should if you haven’t.Its so eaaaassssyyyyyy!He has accepted us in the (category of those to) be-loved.
And uh,Lastly,F̶o̶o̶d̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶L̶o̶v̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶G̶o̶d̶ ̶m̶a̶d̶e̶ ̶e̶d̶i̶b̶l̶e̶.̶..Lol.
Seriously though,The expression of God’s Love isn’t atypical or conventional.So,I vehemently maintain that Food is an expression of God’s Love.Some meals just leave you in awe of God’s creative ability.*straight faced*.
Get your approval from this LOVEGOD(Lack of punctuation is intentional) and as always, Shine Resplendently!
P.s,God loves you incase you were wondering…more than you or anyone else’ll ever know or love you.
You thought you did yeah?Trust me,He just pushed and will continually push those bounds of your knowledge of Love!…He is GODLOVE afterall.*Shrugs*…No small measures ever.
That’s it people!…
*̶o̶f̶f̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶s̶i̶d̶e̶-̶c̶h̶i̶c̶k̶’̶s̶ ̶a̶p̶a̶r̶t̶m̶e̶n̶t̶*̶.I solemnly promise to spend more time with you.
So help me LOVEGOD!
