Love Conquers All



Matthew 22:36-39


36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
When asked, Jesus said the greatest commandment is to the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. He also said the second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself?

In simplest terms love conquers all!
When you love there is no room for; hate, envy, jealousy, anger, covetousness,  bitterness, fear, lies, cheating, malice, murder, contentions, strife, etc. All these are the root of immorality.

In John chapter 14: 15 Jesus also stated “if you love me keep my commandments.”
Life is full of challenges and we sometimes find it difficult to love and trust God, much more to love others. You have probably asked yourself before "how do I love my neighbor as myself?"

Here are some simple suggestion for loving your neighbor as yourself.
1. Show respect to others and their personal possessions.
2. Don’t destroy someone’s property to feel good about yourself.
3. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
4. Don’t expect others to do for you what you won’t do for yourself.
5. Always see the best in others.
6. Never judge someone base on their social or economic background. (Remember they were created by God with a purpose.)
7. Value others and their opinion. (Just because someone’s opinion is different from yours doesn’t mean you can’t love that person.)
8. Show love even when you don’t feel like it. (Love others because they are God’s creation, not because of what they say or do.

Be Blessed and encouraged knowing with God all things are possible!

DON'T WAKE THE BEAST!

                My mom had a way of conveying here wisdom in such a way that would make you laugh and think at the same time.  When things weren't going well or she heard of a problem between two people she would often say; "When you find your head in a lion's mouth take your time and draw it out." What she meant was that a lion is a fierce beast, but when he is sleeping he is harmless as a dove. If you are having problem with someone don't get angry and stir anger in the person because you might not be able to escape the fierceness of his or her wrath. Next time you find yourself in a dispute with someone and feel the need to get angry, remember not to wake the beast. It is best to keep calm and walk away than to wake the lion within the person and get devoured.  Proverbs 15:1 - A soft answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger.

The Appointed Time

Do you know your appointed time? Everything has a set time, there is an appointed time for God's purpose and plan to be established and manifested in your life. Jesus spoke often in the temple and publicly; and although on many occasions the religious people wanted to kill Him they couldn't because it wasn't yet His appointed time. God has ordained your life before the foundations of the world and no matter what you are going through, know that there is a set time for your breakthrough. There is a set time for your miracle, there is a set time for your healing, there is a set time for your deliverance. BUT, if you want to see your set time one thing is required. The word of God declares in 2 Corinthians 6:2: For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. Now is the time to receive the gift of God's love towards us, salvation through Jes

RECLAIMING OUR COMMUNITY When we think about the condition of our communities we are not just fighting against guns and gang violence, but against spiritual wickedness in high places. In order to reclaim our community we must first recognize the source of the problem, confront the problem, and then conquer the problem.                                                            Recognize—Confront—Conquer The War Against Violence This war against violence is not just a physical one, it is also a spiritual war. In the physical realm we need to bond together and say no longer will we allow the violence to take over our community. It will take everyone corporation. On the spiritual aspect of the war we need to understand that our fight is not against the gang members but against the spirit of murder that is driving our young people to violence. The only way to fight against the spirit of murder is through prayer and education. We must pray for our community and educate our young p
