Jesus said that we should ask, seek and knock, then we'll be granted our heart's desires. But that was not a blanket statement so we could ask for any and everything to satisfy our lustful and sinful desires. No! It was for asking, seeking and knocking for things in God's will! And that's why many believers don't get what they ask for, we ask for the wrong things. But how do we know what to ask for? By reading God's Word! When we read His Word, then we'll know His promises and can therefore ask for the right things, things that are within His approved will. Otherwise, all our asking, seeking and knocking will just be in vain. Much LOVE!

The promises of our mighty God are numerous, and it's important that we learn to believe and appreciate each and every one of them, for He is ever-faithful, and never reneges on any promise. But we have to come to Him with sincere hearts and ask for His mercy and grace, and then believe that He will grant it. Yes friends, BELIEF is a big part of the whole christian scenario. You must have faith and trust in God if you want to experience His wonders in your life. That's why it's ever so important to read and study His Word and talk to Him through prayer, so you can know what to expect of Him. That's the only way to truly live the abundant life Christ died for us to enjoy! Much LOVE!

This world is full of evil and ungodliness, which we term DARKNESS. And the opposite of that is LIGHT, which refers to truthfulness and godliness. And the Darkness hides from the Light because the Light exposes it's wrongdoings. Now that is the purpose of believers; to shine our light on the world of darkness and get those living in sin and ungodliness to change their evil ways, to forego the darkness and instead welcome the light of Jesus, which is ever so much more beneficial than the darkness of Satan. Please note too, that as Jesus' ambassadors in this evil world, He is depending on us to accomplish that task. So please, lets' get to it nuh! Much LOVE!

Life is like a roller coaster; running all over the place. Sometimes we're up, and sometimes we're down, and that doesn't lead to a well balanced life. However, if we put our trust in Jesus and His awesome faithfulness, we can live the balanced and abundant life He died for us to have. His Holy Spirit which indwells us when we accept Him as Lord and Saviour, enables us to counter the many ups and downs and live a fairly even life. So, if we want to live our lives on an even keel, Jesus is the One we must turn to and embrace with all of our hearts, souls, minds and bodies. For he is the answer to EVERYTHING! Much LOVE!

Oh friends, LOVE is God's greatest attribute and is what makes our world go round; LOVE from God to us, and from us to our fellow man. But obviously that doesn't hold true in these evil and violent times, for where there is LOVE, there cannot be the attributes of the enemy, and since the enemy is riding high these days, it means that LOVE is not in great demand or present in any useful amount. And if hate, anger, violence and all the attributes of the enemy get any stronger then crapaud smoke we pipe! That's why we so badly need to get the LOVE Revolution in full swing, so we can stop the enemy's control of our world, our children and our children's children. So please, if you truly LOVE Christ, please join with us this year to do our best to restore LOVE, the LOVE of God to its rightful place in our universe! Much LOVE!

Christ's greatest attribute is LOVE, and that's what He also expects of His followers. That we LOVE each other the way that He LOVED us. And if we don't show that LOVE for each other, then we're not His true disciples. The Christian church is currently too divided mainly because of petty jealousies and selfishness, and that's why we cannot make any real headway in this evil world. And the truth of the matter is that we'll never be the salt and light we're supposed to be until we get together and begin sincerely showing LOVE to each other! Much LOVE!

In this evil world mankind is not to be trusted for too many of us are still locked in the evil clutches of Satan, who,as the master of lies and deceit, is totally untrustworthy. The ONLY Being worthy of trust is Jehovah God, Our Creator and Controller. He made us and still controls our lives, although many of us don't seem to think so. Our God is faithful and keeps all His promises, therefore we can put our sincere trust in Him. And if we cannot do that, then in whom are we to trust eh? Certainly not mankind, or Satan and his evil cronies. Friends, it's been proven down throughout the ages, that the ONLY Being worthy of our trust is indeed the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who created the universe and all therein! Please believe that and put your trust in Him, or you'll never enjoy the pleasures of eternal life in heaven! Much LOVE!

The Christian life is filled with many ups and downs, a lot of disappointments and discouragement, but through the indwelling Holy Spirit of Christ, we believers are able to handle those tests and temptations. Jesus suffered much for us without complaining, and likewise, we are expected to bear some suffering on His behalf without a whole lot of complaints, unlike the way so many of us tend to behave. We cannot expect every day to be wine, roses and song, and thus we must wake up and face the reality of true Christianity. As Jesus said, if we want to be His disciples then we must get up EVERYDAY, take up our cross and follow Him...without complaining when it gets somewhat rough and tough! Much LOVE!

In this crazy world, there are only two ways of operating, negatively and positively. The first exalts behaviour like war and violence, while the second calls for peace and LOVE! Now which one should Christians follow? Obviously the one held sacred by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, that's LOVE and peace. Unfortunately though, many supposed believers are still very enamoured of their old ways of war and all it's negative attributes. No wonder our world is so plagued by it. But this year of 2024 must be a turning point in the warlike activities of mankind if we truly desire to see our planet prosper and not go up in nuclear fumes. That's because the warmongers are having a heyday and are getting even more warlike, if that's possible! and it's ONLY we Christians who have the power to make a significant difference. So please, let's get up and get the LOVE Revolution going nuh! If we wait much longer, it just might be too late! Much LOVE!

Jesus said to ask and seek and knock, and He was very serious about it. The problem lies in what we ask for. We need to ask for what's in God's will for our lives, then wait patiently for it, for he never said when it will happen, just that it will happen. However, in our lustful desires, we ask for all sorts of stuff that's not in God's will, and when we don't get them, we get angry with God. Do you think He'll give us the ungodly pleasures of the world? No way! Therefore we need to know His will, and that comes from reading His Word, hearing it, and listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Then we can ask for worthwhile godly things. That's the only way to get what we ask, seek and knock for! Much LOVE!
