Fruit of the Spirit 23 (Love bears all things 2)

 In the preceding article, we delved into the dimension of love encapsulated by the phrase "Love bears all things." Continuing on this trajectory in today's article, we explore how this enduring love is a testament to the magnitude of God's love within our hearts.

We began by examining the process of enlarging our hearts to accommodate the infinite magnitude of God's love, enabling us to bear with all men and all things.

A question was posed to me: "Is it possible to bear with all things?" My response was a confident "YES." Emphasizing that if it were not possible, the Bible would not have documented it.

It's essential to recognize that whatever is true about Christ is true about us. This truth extends beyond what Jesus possesses; it also encompasses what Jesus can do. Jesus, indeed, bears with all things, including our failures, mistakes, and nonchalance.

When acknowledging that what is true about Christ is also true about us, it's not solely in the light of Jesus' possessions but also in the context of His actions. If Jesus loves infinitely, it holds true for us, and we should walk in that dimension.
Moreover, it's not just about possessing what Jesus has but also about emulating His actions. As Jesus bears with us, irrespective of our deeds, we too can walk in that dimension by the grace of God.

To achieve the ability to bear with all things, one must cultivate a heart large enough to accommodate God's love, as highlighted in Ephesians 3:17-19.

The four dimensions of the Saviour's love:
Breadth - Christ's Worldwide love, embracing all men.
Length - Christ’s Love extended to all ages
Height - Christ's love transcends beyond the reach of any foe that can deprive us of enjoying it
Depth - Christ's love is of profound wisdom which no Human creature can understand.

Each dimension accentuates the inclusivity of Christ's worldwide love, its extension across all ages, its transcendence beyond adversaries, and its profound wisdom.

Beloved, we are to seek a deeper understanding and create space in our heart to accommodate Christ's love in all its dimensions.

In conclusion, let us embrace the love of Christ in all its dimension rather than adhering to worldly customs and traditions.

THE VICTOR’S MENTALITY 17 (Knowing Jesus Is Knowing Truth)

Calvary greetings, my beloved readers! Today, we’ll continue exploring the armor of God, focusing on the belt of truth, which we began discussing last time. This armor equips us to stand against the wiles of the evil one. We’ve shared quite a bit about the belt of truth already, so to catch up, please check out our blog site for the full teaching . Here’s our key text:“Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,” (Ephesians 6:14 NKJV) One thing I don’t want us to forget is that truth is how God sees things. That’s the truth! For our belief system to be firmly rooted in Christ, we need to see things the way God sees them. So, today, we’ll dive into how to see things as God does. This is foundational to cultivating a victor’s mentality. Let me start by declaring that Jesus is the truth:“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” (John 14:6 NKJV). No one—living or dead...

THE VICTOR'S MENTALITY 9 (The devil is a Liar)

  In this article, I will begin sharing about the second phase of our series: understanding who our opposition is. We’ve already explored the first phase, which focused on the type of strength we have and its source. Let’s revisit our reference text:   "Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:11 NKJV)  It is crucial to know who our opposition is—the one who does everything possible to hinder you from walking in everyday victory. Many grace-based believers argue that it’s unnecessary to talk about the devil. Sure, we are not devil-conscious, but as ministers, there’s nothing wrong with presenting the devil the way Jesus and His Apostles did. My issue is with those who attribute to the devil what he does not possess. Nowhere in Scripture do Jesus or the Apostles describe the devil as having any power or authority. If we can see the devil as the Bible presents him, that alone is the victor’s mentality. Th...

THE VICTOR’S MENTALITY 20 (Knowing Jesus Is Knowing Truth 4)

By God’s grace, in today’s article, we’ll finish what we started about knowing Jesus intimately in the Scriptures. We’ve already discussed three ways to see Jesus intimately through the Scriptures: • Photographically in the Gospels • Doctrinally in the Epistles • Prophetically in the Old Testament By God’s grace, I’ll share two more in this article. You can check the previous article to get the full experience of what we’ve taught. Another way we must know Jesus, who is the truth, is: 4. Experientially in the Believer’s Life We need to understand that knowing and seeing Jesus goes beyond theological or intellectual knowledge; the aim must be to know Jesus personally and experientially. That’s what I intend to share with you in today’s write-up and this is the aim of the Scriptures. We’ve talked about knowing Jesus through the Gospels, Epistles, and Old Testament—all to these is to an end that it leads us to a living relationship with the person of Christ. To have an experiential relat...
