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!

Jeremiah 29:10-13 10 For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.  11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.  13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Most people in life can trace their family line as far back as four generations. Yet some of us don’t know our biological parents much more to know our grand-parents. Ever since I was a child I always heard my mom and her sisters talked about their parents as if it was some kind of mysterious fairy-tale.  Though my mother and her three siblings are of the same mother and father, it is a mystery to me how two of them ended up with different last n...

Recognizing a Need for Change

So, you woke up this morning as you have every other morning (by the grace of God) and as you head to the bathroom you glimpse yourself in the dresser mirror, but had to take a step back for another look because you didn’t recognize the person in the mirror. With a daunting look on your face and tears in your eyes, it dawns on you; something has to change. You say to yourself “I can’t keep living my life this way.”  If you are ready for change or a brand-new start on life but don’t know how?

Carried Away

Many of us are being carried away with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting and being tossed to and fro because of spiritual malnutrition. It is evident in our society as we see the rise of prosperity gospel and the infiltration of new age practices in our churches. Believers are being led astray because those who are called to lead are not executing the plan of God for the church or ministry in which they are called to serve. Leaders are more concerned about their agendas and programs rather than the purpose of God. The word of God has set forth the ministry of the church and the purpose of its leaders. In Ephesians chapter 4:7-16,  the Apostle Paul gives us a clear picture of the governing body (earthly) of the body Christ and its function; yet there are churches today who are operating without the order of government as established in Scriptures. This governing body: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers ...
