LOVE an excellent way!!!!!!

LOVE doesn't mean to follow the wrong ways

Paul says in I CORINTHIANS 13 – ⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part.

JOHN 14:²³ Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. ²⁴ He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.

I don’t claim to know everything and neither accuse or get upset with others for differing with me in anything. Bible gives us a message that Our GOD is a GOOD GOD and Good all the time. Scriptures also tells us that GOD is LOVE. 
YESHUA commands us in John chap 13:34 To Love one another and then in I John it is written that He who doesn’t love his brother whom he sees how can he love GOD whom he can’t see. YESHUA encapsulates the whole LAW in two commands LOVE your GOD and LOVE PEOPLE who are created in the image of GOD.

Now we need to understand that when we talk about loving people , we Christians are far behind compared to non christians. Actually, there are so many non believers who love people more than us even they love animals. But how are we Christians supposed to be different.

Yeshua summarized the Law in two commandments in Matthew 22:37-40

1.       Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

2.     And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

So as a believer I am suppose to LOVE GOD which would lead me to HIS WORD, which in turn would take me to the commandment to LOVE people and now I choose to OBEY and LOVE my neighbor (everyone).

So far so good. John 3:16 shows us that GOD loves everyone but not everyone receives eternal life. Believing in the son of GOD is a choice. Now if I say I love everyone so I would follow their ways also even if there is no eternal life in them, even if they are not in line with GOD’s WORD, this would be a stupidity for us.

I am suppose to LOVE people, but not follow their ways or follow their doctrines which are not in line with GOD’s WORD. You see I can love a pagan worshipper but I am not suppose to follow his practices. Exodus 23:24 says “Don’t follow their practices”.

Now some simple questions for me.

Do I love Non Christians?

Of course, yes. I love them with the best of my ability(with the LOVE of GOD in my heart poured by the HOLY SPIRIT) and ask GOD every day to release more and more love in my heart for them; however I would never choose to follow their religious practices.

Do I love Catholics? Do I love Christians from different denominations CSI/CNI/Pentecostal/Brethren?

Of course, yes. I love catholic people; in fact one of my best friends is catholic. My forefathers were a part of CNI denomination, my aunties and Uncles are a part of CNI denomination. My parents and I come from Pentecostal back ground. I Love everyone but I would rather choose to follow GOD than any made religion or dogma.

What are you trying to say Bro. Rahul?

Simple, Let us Stop following men and their unscriptural dogmas, start following GOD alone, HIS WORD and the SPIRIT of GOD.

Let us Desire GOD more than anything else in the world. Let not our Jobs, ambitions or even our family become our priority. Let GOD alone and HIS WORD be our desire and priority.

Remember Gifts are free but rewards come with hard work.

Christlikeness OR a Massive Ministry Mentality? Question posed by the most Gentle person - THE HOLY SPIRIT

Apostle Pauls says

Romans 8:26-30 says

²⁶ Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the SPIRIT itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. ²⁷ And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because HE maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. ²⁹ For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. ³⁰ Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
HOLY SPIRIT has given us a CLEAR MANDATE through the scriptures that primarily we need to conform ourselves in the image of YESHUA the son of GOD- first born of all brethren. You see at the time of our NEW BIRTH we received the Righteousness and Holiness of GOD in our SPIRITS  Ephesian 4 ²³ be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. NOW our (HUMAN) SPIRIT is saved. Colossians 2:10 You are complete in him.
YESHUA has not only forgiven our sins past, present and future, HE completely destroyed our SIN NATURE. INEXCHANGE HE gave us his righteous and Holy Nature in our spirits. Because the SIN NATURE has been destroyed, we are not left with any excuse as to why we still live in sin.
We need to understand that we are a Spirit, we have a soul and live in a body. GOD gave NEW BIRTH in our spirit, but our SOUL is still the same. So we have been asked to renew our SOUL every day, in other word- Paul says (Philippians2:12) Work out your salvation and that we can do in our souls not in our spirit. Again he says in Romans 12:2 be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. AND again in Ephesians he says – PUT on the NEW MAN (your SPIRIT NATURE) in your soul.
I do believe that a primary calling for all of us is to make disciples according to Matthew28 however only a disciple can make disciples. Jesus said you are the light of the world. I also believe that GOD has given MINISTRY OFFICES for the edification of the church, not to gratify ones desires or fulfill personal agendas. In the last few decades, Enemy has been successful in creeping into the minds of the people that MINISTRY is the top most priority, that’s a lie. You see there is a difference in making disciples and owning a MINISTRY.
MINISTRY should be an outcome of our relationship with GOD; our relationship should never be calibrated on the basis of our ministry. Common Man always looks at the MAN OF GOD instead of looking at the GOD OF MAN, that is a deception. Immature character and fleshy desires would dream for a BIG MINISTRY but the one who love GOD sincerely and are led by the spirit would primarily focus on conforming in to the image of YESHUA. It is possible that we might be involved in ministry and still end up here when the RAPTURE takes place according to Matthew 7:21,22, 23( Healing, Casting out demons and miracle ministry etc)  Jesus says because you have not done the WILL OF THE FATHER. Today there is so much chaos in the Ministry world (I mean BIG guys around the world). Merchandisers have been raised by the enemy, Families are being destroyed and separated, church needs to rise up in the SPIRIT and confront it.
It is very logical and easy you see, If we have been or being conformed in the image of YESHUA and doing the WILL of GOD on a continual basis , SPIRIT of GOD would surely train us and then release us into MINISTRY, having said this we must remember we are the sons of GOD and disciples of YESHUA, first. Let’s focus on the Unconditional LOVE OF GOD and make disciples, not only by preaching and teaching but also by our character i.e (victory over hidden sins) and LOVE.
Lastly check out this Maturity Model. GOD has called each one of us with a purpose and with different callings which also includes our ministry. Wait in the presence of the LORD- Pray in the spirit and Meditate upon his word and continue to worship and use the tools God has provided us to be conform in the image of YESHUA.

LOVE each other but stop justifying wrong actions and decisions

LOVE People but never compromise the WORD OF GOD

In the name of LOVE we cannot afford to compromise and dilute the WORD of GOD.

We Love people but we would never agree with the sinful life style against the word of GOD. Let’s say I have some short comings or secret sins in my life instead of acknowledging it, I justify my actions; I lie and try to alter the WORD of GOD. Just because I lie at times, I would never say lying is fine (chalta hai bhai!) No it doesn’t work out that way. We need to choose God’s Word above all.

You and I need to acknowledge our issues or wrong actions before GOD and try to work on it, instead of justifying it. If we stop giving excuses and seek HOLY SPIRIT’s help we would surely come out of it.

Just because we attend a church that teaches (all unscriptural doctrines) infant baptism is fine and there is no water immersion baptism, there is no tongues and Baptism of the Holy spirit, God’s will to make you sick to teach you something etc,. doesn’t mean that this church is fine. 
Truth is  we attend wrong church and we need to quit justifying it. Love everyone but don’t mess with the WORD. If you want to continue with the church keep going there but please don’t say that their practices are good and fine in accordance with the WORD.

Remember TRUTH is TRUTH it is not relative!!!!!!!!

Dowry is a dowry ...doesn't matter who takes it....

Let us learn to stop justifying our sins and wrong decisions. Seek God’s help to come out of it even as we grow in the LORD. GOD Loves us and wants us to change everyday.

Beware of Radical Grace Messages

Beware of so called Radical (or Promiscuous ) or a False Grace Messages which are 97% same as that of what you would find in this blog or from the believers and preachers who believe in the Finished work of the Cross along with the whole counsel of GOD in terms of Doctrine. Though the difference is (3%) very less but good enough for us to end up in HELL.

We love grace Preachers but we are against the unscriptural messages they preach.
Grace preachers are wonderful and anointed with revelation knowledge of GOD's WORD, can show you Jesus in any old testament scriptures. Teach and preach on the Finished work of the Cross even teach on Tongues, Holy living and above all LOVE. However, they Focus so much on the False Grace which covers  all SINS even if we do it willingly and don't acknowledge it. Also add, that we don't need to ask for forgiveness and repent for our sins as we have been saved once and for all.

NOTE - I agree that we don't need to be sin conscious all the time, however repentance and asking for the forgiveness of sins are very scriptural and should be done to receive forgiveness according to I John 1,2.

Desire GOD's WORD above all and LOVE one another

I John 4: 16 GOD is LOVE. 20 If anyone says, `I love God', and he hates his brother, he is telling a lie. If he does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

BUT why such a Loving GOD is so strict in regards to Obedience. It is true Mercy reigns over sacrifice Matthew 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. However Obedience is something which GOD expects from us. I Samuel 15:22 Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

Most challenging scripture for all of us, no matter what denomination we associate ourselves with. According to Matthew 7:21, 22,23 ²¹ Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. ²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? ²³ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

It’s high time we need to revisit our belief systems. Why do we believe what we believe?

At the beginning of human history, in the Garden of Eden, God made it clear: Eat from this tree and you live; eat from that tree and you will die (see Gen. 2:15-17). His words to Adam and Eve were not suggestions or ideas; they were the difference between life and death. When God called Abram to leave his father’s house, his response determined whether or not he would experience eternal separation from God. His life was dependent on his response to the call of God (see Gen. 12:1-3). In the wilderness, God made it clear to the children of Israel that the only way to inherit the promises given to their forefather Abraham was through learning to live by every word that came from the mouth of God (see Deut. 8:3). The Word of God isn’t casual and it isn’t an option. It is everything.

To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Indeed their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot give heed. Behold, the word of the Lord is a reproach to them; they have no delight in it (Jeremiah 6:10).

God has always been looking for those to whom He can speak, those who will hear Him and live. When Jeremiah wrote these words, Jerusalem was on the brink of destruction. The Babylonian invasion was around the corner, yet the people of the day were blind to their peril. A century earlier the northern tribes of Israel were defeated and dispersed in a season of judgment, but Judah was miraculously spared. Because of this previous divine intervention, the people were convinced that God would spare them again. They were confident in their nationalistic pride while the religious leaders of the day bolstered their confidence further by declaring that God would defend His Temple.

Let us Desire God’s WORD more than anything. We have not seen Jesus in physical form. His word and JESUS are same. If we say we have desire for GOD and do not desire his WORD ,respect and honor GOD’s WORD above all and everything  then we are in trouble. Let the LOVE of GOD help us to rise up and create an hunger and thirst for HIS everlasting WORD.
