Worry does not come from God, but is the devil's instigation of fear in our lives. When we have faith, we don't worry, and when we worry, as Jesus says, our faith is small. Remember that God hasn't given us a spirit of fear or worry, but one of power, LOVE and of a strong or disciplined mind. (2 Tim. 1:7) Therefore with that grace of God, we don't have to allow Satan to confuse us with the fear that comes from worrying. But that can only happen if we keep our faith strong, and that can only happen if we keep seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness on a constant basis. So let's do that so we can stop worrying. Much LOVE!

This earthly life has but two options, to live in sin, or seek the righteousness of God. And sin, though it may seem pleasureable in the beginning, always leads to undesirable consequences. And that's why our world is currently in so much turmoil; too many of us have chosen the sinful and rebellious path instead of the righteous one, and until we change our sinful ways, we will continue down the path to destruction until the earth and all therein is destroyed. God's Word contains so many good promises it's unwise to keep choosing the foolishness advocated by Satan. Remember where Satan is the boss, in hell, but God is the king of heaven, and He's given us the free choice to choose where we want to spend eternity...in hell with Satan, or in heaven with Christ. Please make the wise choice. Much LOVE!

Friends, without our great God we'd be sitting ducks for Satan, but through Him we have forgiveness of sins and eternal life, things that necessitate lots of praise and thankfulness. Yes, just consider what our options would be if we didn't have a great and LOVING God nuh. Hellfire and damnation would be our destiny. But now with Jesus' sacrifice we have a great option, so why aren't we wise and thankful eh? Look at all the Lord does for us everyday. All the good things we don't deserve, but yet He bestows them on us. Just think that we got up this morning. Whom do you think is responsible for that eh? Almighty God! There's a roof over our heads, food on our table...that's the Lord's doing. Therefore thanks and praise should be a continual thing in the true believer's life! Please, let's make it so! Much LOVE!

Yes Friends, if we don't want to be taken in by the devil and all his evil schemes, we must make it our imperative to seek God and His kingdom before all else. Otherwise we can be overcome and overtaken by any of the many serious ills that now exist in our world. And remember that though God gave us free will to choose as we please, His great desire is for us to choose Him and all the things that He stands for. And when we wisely do that, then He showers us with all the things we need to live a decent life in this ungodly and evil world. So please, wake up and smell the roses nuh...unless you want to spend eternity with Satan. Much LOVE!

Ah friends, knowing Jesus is indeed important, but accepting Him as Lord and Saviour is even more important, because it's only through Him can one gain salvation and eternal life. That's the only way you will ever see the Father's face in heaven. All other options only lead to hell fire and damnation! Thus it's wise to accept Christ while you're alive, preferably RIGHT NOW, since the Grim Reaper can come for you at any time, and it won't be possible after you die. Refusing to accept Jesus while alive on this earth means the worst possible future for a human soul; eternal separation from God. And believe me, you don't want to experience that. So please be wise and accept Christ as Lord and Saviour so that your soul will rest eternally in heaven with Him! Much LOVE!

Friends, here on earth we are the hands and feet, the body of Christ. He's using us to do His earthly work, and we're certainly not doing a good job otherwise our world would not be as evil and strife-filled as it is. And that puts the blame solely on our shoulders for the Lord has given us all we need to do the work assigned to us, but because of fear, laziness or simple complacency, we're not doing it, we're not putting our best foot forward, and consequently people are laughing at Jesus, blaspheming His holy name, and we just sit back and allow it to happen. Believers in every other false faith rise up and fight sincerely for their faith fate, except Christians. That's a sad commentary on our faithfulness friends. So please let's get serious and do the job we were assigned to do nuh, or stop calling ourselves Christians! Much LOVE!

Now, we all talk about going to heaven, when the roll is called up yonder...and some of us will go, but many will not because they have not received Christ as Lord and Saviour, and He said it quite clearly, that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and no man comes to the Father but through Him. So, if we truly desire to be in that heavenly roll call, then we must absolutely give our lives in true surrender to Christ while we're here on earth. There's NO other way to make that roll call in the last days. So please be wise and do it today; RIGHT NOW! Much LOVE!

The Lord says, 'seek me and ye shall live.' What don't we understand about that eh? If the Creator and Controller of the universe says something like that, shouldn't we in all wisdom believe it? Yes, if we are wise, and not the playthings of Satan, who keeps us enslaved in darkness and the bondages of sin. But please remember that Jesus died so we could be freed from the evil hold of Satan and come into His light and salvation. So why are we still not seeking God in the throngs and droves like we should, but instead are turning away from Him in throngs and droves, to the sinful pleasures that Satan is holding out before our greedy, envious and lustful eyes? But please remember that those who don't listen will pay a hefty price for their disobedience! Much LOVE!

Yesterday we saw how important LOVE was to the relationship between God and man, and between man and man. Today we're intensifying that relationship with some more scriptures on how LOVE contributes to the wellbeing of mankind and our world. Also the fact that anger and sin and all the evil attributes of Satan just makes our world a place sadly lacking in godly LOVE, but filled with strife and warmongering. Now that's not the kind of world we want our children and their children to grow up in, which means we believers have to get our act together and behave as one body in Christ and fight the evildoers mano-a-mano and make the LOVE Revolution our world so badly needs a reality. Much LOVE!

What makes the world go round eh? LOVE! That's because God LOVED us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die so our sins could be forgiven. It was only LOVE that made Him do it. Therefore, if we are to show proper respect for God's goodness and mercy, we should also be reciprocating that LOVE back to Him as well as showing it to others, so that they can know what God's LOVE, is all about. Unfortunately thought, LOVE is not as big and widespread as it ought to be in our world, for believers have not stepped up to the plate to help it increase, while the evildoers have put in the efforts necessary to make sin and ungodliness more popular in our world. And until Christians make that sincere effort to best sin and ungodliness with LOVE, the sad status quo will remain! Much LOVE!
