AGENT OF GOD'S LOVE

Colossians 2:1-2 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

Did you had some sizzling debate lately? Or someone challenged your faith? What did you got? How did you handled it?

Paul set an example. He always calls for unity with encouragement helping knit the church together in love.

Can anyone of us be willing to adjust our positions and shake off those unnecessary attitudes? Can anyone be willing to adjust our lives inspite of sufferings just to be an encouragement to all believers?

The mystery of God can be simply understood this way. For God loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son. And Christ, the only begotten Son, loves us so much that He offered His life for us.

Christ handled all the blasphemies, accusations, insults, and all kinds of attacks. And He was not been harshed and argumentative. He used parables and teachings in all aspects of living that showed the perfection of love the Mighty Creator have for us.

Can we be an agent of God?

Oh, Lord, forgive me if I made stumbling blocks unto the faiths of my fellows. Forgive me if I became a discouragement. I don't know exactly the proper way. Through Your unconditional love, lead my words and action. Let your image be seen in me. Amen

1 Peter 5:2 FEED THE FLOCK OF GOD, which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;



A true "Christian" saved by the power of the saving blood of Jesus Christ must continue to path the road Jesus walked.


It means, to follow Jesus is a journey. And this journey is in "spirit." Along this journey is a battle. A battle against death that keeps haunting us.


Temptation and trials came tough for times, so failures and falls came inevitable. Come rise up once more for God condemns not, to a heart that truly love Christ, and He will let you stand straight and continue to abide and follow God with repentance and humbleness.



And as we continue to follow Jesus faithfully, the death can't harm us. But we are elevated to spiritual levels of maturity.


We must reach the level in which we can give spiritual foods. Growth in Christian is a necessity. And it is in great need.


The flocks are ready to receive the foods, but where we are? The Bible stated that the harvest is plenty but there's no enough workers. And this is very true nowadays.


Many parts of the globe are ready but there is a great need of anointed workers of God. Numbers of new generation not being fed properly arise in number as well.


How long do we need to be fed and never grow mature? Please continue to walk and follow Jesus. Don't stop there. Let the infilling of Holy Spirit make you full, and overflowing. And let the river flows all over the world. "YOU" as one of the vessels of that river.


Are You a Stagnant Christians? Beware you might had been fallen along the way, without realizing it. Arise and mature spiritually.

Oh dear God in Heaven through the Mighty Name of Jesus, I give thanks and glory for all the blessings you pour out upon my plate. Please continue to heal my eyes, my ears, and my heart so that I can fully grow in You alone, not by mine, nor by this world, but upon You're Holy will. Me and my household, my friends, relatives and all the members of timog forum. May we continue to walk to the narrow road that leads to you're Kingdom, as we grow stronger holding our title as children of God unto a full blown Mighty Warriors of God. So let you're will be done unto our lives. Through You're Saving Blood oH my Lord Christ Jesus I pray. Amen.
