 'And to know the love of Christ, which passeth all knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God'
(Ephesians 3:19).

God's love is immeasurable and deeper than our finite minds can ever imagine. It is important to have a knowledge of Christ, but more so, to know Him intimately and experience His love. Paul's desire is for us to truly understand that God's love is more than having a knowledge; it is mighty and powerful and far beyond our comprehension. It is so deep and wide that we will never fathom it. We need to understand that God's love has a specific purpose - the fulness of God. You see, God's greatness exist in Jesus, His Son, and knowing Jesus surpasses all  knowledge. We must be filled with Jesus through our deeds and actions;  'for in Him all the fulness of God was pleased to dwell.' (Colossians 1:19)
When we are filled with the incomprehensible love of Christ, we will be transformed and lives only for Christ. Then are we now able to be filled up to all the fulness of God. Our limited minds cannot understand the thoughts and ways of God, but one day in the earth made new, we will be able to see much clearer and understand better the greatness of God and the incomprehensible love of Christ. Being united in Christ, we are made complete in Him and therefore accepted by God the Father; because Christ dwells in the fulness of God. Let us therefore seek to abide in Christ. The more we abide in Him, the more He will abide in us and dwell in our hearts, in spirit and in truth. We ought to allow the Holy Spirit to fill us daily with the fulness of God, that is, filling us with the level of completeness we can attain as finite beings. Let us be in awesome wonder as we contemplate and reflect on the wonders of it all, and knowing that God loves us unconditionally.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
