Growing In The Love & Spirit of God

 1 Corinthians 13:11

Love is for the mature.

True godly, divine, holy love is for the mature. It is for those who are mature in the sight of God.

Growth is of the kingdom of God.

God wants and expects us to grow in our love walk.

The kingdom of God is associated with growth from the scriptures.

It is likened to a stone which grew into a mountain.

Daniel 2:34-35

The kingdom of God is a constantly increasing kingdom.

Isaiah 9:7

Increase is of the kingdom, as a kingdom citizen you have a right to increase and grow.

2 Peter 3:18

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit and presence of God's kingdom.

It is a kingdom requirement that we grow in the Spirit and presence of God.

The Holy Spirit in turn helps us grow in love.

Romans 5:5

The Holy Spirit is a Spirit of love for God is love.

Jesus walked in the fullness of the Spirit of God.

Matthew 3:13-17

Due to the presence and fullness of the Spirit with Jesus, He demonstrated great love. Love to do God's will which made Him lay down His life.

It is our right as citizens of God's kingdom to grow and increase in the love and Spirit of God.

The Spirit of God is the Spirit found in the born again, the new creation of God.

John 3:3-6

The Spirit helps us to love and live in the ordinances of of the new covenant.

John 15:26-27

Jesus made this known to His disciples when they passed through Samaria and his disciples felt unfairly treated. They were on their way to Jerusalem and the Jews and the Samaritans did not have much to do with one another in those days, knowing Jesus and his disciples were on their way to Jerusalem they were not welcomed. This prompted James and John to ask Jesus if they should call fire down on all the inhabitants like Elijah (Elias) did.

Jesus frowned at this.

The disciples must have read the scrolls and were familiar with the exploit of the prophet Elijah who called fire down from heaven and killed the soldiers sent by the king to arrest him.

2 Kings 1:10

Jesus didn't come to destroy men's lives but to save them.

Luke 9:56

The Spirit of Jesus is a Spirit of love which saves and builds men.

Jesus is greater than Elijah.

Jesus is a better role model than Elijah was.

Jesus was not of the spirit of Elijah's dispensation.

Jesus came in the Spirit of the kingdom, He came in the Spirit of love and reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:19

The kingdom message is a message of reconciliation with God.

The Spirit of God and love are of the kingdom.

We are to grow in love and God's Spirit through continuous fellowship with God.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
