The number one desire of every human being on earth is to find love. And when it comes to unravelling the meaning of love, several people across the world seem to agree with the Ancient Greek segmentation of types of love into four main categories namely: 

- Storge which is an affectionate love such as for example parental love, 

- Philia which is to do with a platonic friendship centred kind of love,

- Eros which is an intimate romantic type of love and;

- Agape which is God's unconditional love and as God's unconditional love the highest kind of love. 

The segmentation of love in this Ancient Greek context seem much more concentrated on defining love as a distinctive type or form of feelings expressed by one to another depending on the nature and form of the relationship itself. Although, I quite agree that love has a lot to do with expressions, it is important we fully recognise God as love in itself and not just consider His love as a form of love amongst other forms of love. Loving requires the right capacity and God as love is the only means by which we can have the right capacity to fully love ourselves and also appropriatly love others. God as love is holiness itself. Therefore any act or form of relationship rooted in sinfulness cannot amount to love. God as Love liberates and He is the only one that can give us true joy, rest and peace in our now existence and in eternity. 

Our number one realistic soul desire is to find and experience God as true love for eternity. The love of God is the only thing that can make us feel inwardly and outwardly fufiled. Without God's love the soul will continue to yearn and seek for fulfiment. Human life in the natural is ridden with endless challenges. Every human achievement comes with unforeseen challenges price tag, which in turn makes the search for fulfilment an endless mission that can only become accomplished when we find God as true love. The search for fulfilment in complete spiritual blindness leads people to pursue all manner of visible things such as worldly riches, fame and the rest of it in the hope that having those things will afford them their much desired satisfaction, peace and inner rest. However, often times people find that the moment they achieve the targeted success they had hoped will afford them happiness, they continue to remain void of peace, rest and joy.  The joy of achieving targeted success by many is usually short lived because real fulfilment and joy is only possible when our soul is connected to God who is love itself. Unless the soul is connected to God as love, the human yearn to attain happiness through  climbing the unending ladder of worldly success will only continue to work to produce more void and emptiness.

Natural success without God is equivalent to having what seems like everything but in the real sense of life means nothing. Contentment is only possible if we are in oneness with God who is Love. In the fall of man into sin, man became separated from God who is love and ended up in the hateful camp of the fallen angels headed by Satan, aka Lucifer. To save mankind from evil domination of fallen angels, God─as ultimate love came to earth in the Person of Jesus Christ to fulfil His entire law of righteousness. Christ, as the fulfiller of the law is God’s body of righteousness and to be in Christ is to be inside of LOVE, which is God. 

God as love is the complete answer and solution for our entire human problems.  God as love itself is a God of relationships. No spirit being is an island and a relationship is not simply a physical matter, but highly spiritual. A relationship with God is a conscious act, not a subconscious after thought. God in His relationship with us wants us to bear testimony of His love for us.  A person can only be in relationship with God if in Christ and those who are without Christ are subconsciously in a relationship with deadly spirits. Since the relationship is in the subconscious, it is a veiled mystery to the human engaged in relationship with dead spirits. Unless disengaged from the dark-deadly spirits by the power of God’s love, such a person will be buried in a subconscious graveyard of sorrow filled with endless emptiness and hopelessness.   

To find God is to enter into a conscious, joyous spiritual relationship. Our joyous relationships with God counteract the emotional babbling of the flesh-mind regardless of our outward circumstances. Emotions are a flesh problem and as long as we remain in our mortal bodies, emotions will always try to darken our hearts to impair our spiritual mind’s good sense. In our conscious spiritual-mind connection with God, the emotions activated by natural occurrences intended to compress our spiritual being, loses its power under the active-power of God’s love. As a result, even when the outward picture seems dried out, the inward Living Water of God always manifests itself from the depths of our souls to the surface; keeping us spiritually functional so we are not stagnated by an emotional drought. God deactivates our emotional, mental and physical state with His overwhelming love and comfort. This love and comfort is something beyond human explanation and as such needs to be personally experienced for it to be fully understood. If you are outside of Christ, then you are outside of LOVE. Love is the truth. And outside of Christ, who is God's love manifested in the flesh, there is nothing but lies!

1 John 4:7-11

"Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another."

God created Man to be a partaker of His holy dominion authority (Genesis 1:26-28). But, in the fall of sin, man died spiritually and became separated from God (Genesis 3). In spiritual death of his soul, man became void of dominion power of God. Void of God's power and dead in the spirit, man became a soft target for the devil whose main goal is to possess and dominate man in evil.  

God's utmost complete intervention for mankind came in the form of the Person of Christ. God gave us Christ to restore us back to His sonship dominion through adoption by Christ. Through accepting Christ as our personal LORD and Saviour, we are able to be restored back to Godly sonship and become once again a partaker of the holy dominion of God that the first man Adam lost due to his fall into sin (Genesis Chapter 3). In Christ, we are meant to operate in God's sonship dominion power and authority on earth. And by fire power and dominion authority of God, take back stolen territories from Satan to the utmost glory God. The redeemed sons of God as victors in Christ are meant to police the earth through daily exercising of Godly dominion power and authority.  And quite so often when it seems as if God is not doing anything, it is simply because the redeemed due to for instance overwhelming natural life situations, are failing to exercise Godly authority dominion on earth in line with God's heavenly Will and purpose for redeeming us through Christ who is God's dominion Word of power and authority manifested in the flesh (John 1:1-14). 

The redeemed in Christ are partakers of Christ's dominion power and authority. And Christ's dominion power and authority is a power and authority that no power and authority of any kind can stand against. The name of Jesus is in itself power and authority of life. And at the mentioning of His name every knee will bow and every tongue in heaven and earth will confess that Jesus Christ is LORD to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:5-11). Jesus as God's Word of authority manifested in the flesh overcame sin, the world and conquered death for us. Christ as God's Word of authority manifested in the flesh is our everlasting victorious King of kings and LORD of lords. His holy dominion of power and authority can never fail us in any circumstances or situation. And those who have repented from their sins and accepted Christ as LORD and Saviour shall by His LORDSHIP dominion, authority and power continually remain victors and not victims of the world no matter the natural outlook of things.

Jesus Christ is forever LORD in all realms and dominion. He is LORD over sickness. He is LORD over your financial situations and circumstances. He is LORD over all principalities and powers of darkness. He is LORD over each day and seasons as the Ancient of Days. He is LORD from beginning to the end as the Alpha and Omega. He is LORD over all realms and dominions as the All in all. He is the same Jesus Christ yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). And if He is in you, no devil or forces of darkness can lord over you in any situations or circumstances. In Christ you are completely victorious. And by His LORDSHIP power,  you remain in every situation and circumstances the winner over Satan and his entire demon-cratic repugnant gangs of darkness realms of evil. If you are in Christ dominion, you are in God's dominion presence. And in God's dominion presence, your spirit man is at liberty to depopulate Satan's counterfeit kingdom by God's dominion authority and harvest souls for the kingdom of God. Therefore arise today and rejoice in your dominion victory in Christ! Shine as the light you are made to be in Christ who is the eternal marvellous light of life (John 8:12). Trust always in His unfailing King-dominion power. And let His king-dominion power be manifested in you through your fervent prayers of intercessions, holy characters and righteous actions. Let Your king-dominion newness nature be evidenced  through your endless reverencing of God with your thanksgiving, praise worship, loving deeds, acts of kindness towards your fellow human beings and by your dedication to ministering the Word undiluted with boldness and without fear of man to the utmost glory of God. Give the LORD Jesus our dominion King of kings and everlasting Saviour a worthy praise daily. And with your daily resounding hallelujah praise of the King of kings, declare to the world daily that Jesus Christ is indeed LORD over your life to the glory of the Almighty, All-Powerful and All-in all everlasting glorious God. 

"Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 

In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:  Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."

~ Colossians 1:12-18

If a right minded earthly father passionately desires his child to be successful, how much more passionate will our heavenly Father be for us to be successful in life. God does not want His children to fail. He simply wants us to obey Him and follow His roadmap of eternal life success for our lives. God's roadmap of success for our lives is usually the opposite to ours.  And in order for us to find and follow His roadmap of eternal life success for our lives to the very end, we must learn to listen to His counsel, obey His Word and allow His Holy Spirit to lead and guide us in everything.

God executed His entire eternal life success plan for our lives through the Person of Christ. The blood of Jesus as our life insurance policy can never fail to pay us the dividends and rewards of eternal life as long as we remain in perfect unity with Christ. God's perfect instructions for our lives are all for the benefit of our souls. We do ourselves no good by failing to yield to God's perfect instructions. 

There are today several people in the world who are obsessively chasing after what they consider as success thinking that having humanly determined success will make them joyfully happy. But the fact of the matter is there are no other means for us to be soulfully joyful, restful and realistically be a success in life besides trusting and obeying God. Obeying and trusting God will not only make you happy. It will make God to be happy and exceedingly please with you. And if God is happy and please with you, then be rest assured that you can never fail or be put to shame.  

Success is an outcome of life and not of death. Success is only possible in righteousness, which is Christ revealed and not in sinfulness. A soul living in consequences of sin, which is death is in all realm a failure regardless of his or her natural world humanly determined status, class or so called riches and worth. And the only means of avoiding an outcome of permanent death, which equals complete failure is by hearing, listening and obeying the authority Word of God, which is Christ revealed in the flesh. We need to hear, listen, obey and fully surrender all to Christ from beginning to the end in order for us to permanently receive the  eternal life policy reward that He purchased for us with His atonement blood on the cross of Calvary. 

Success is not for man to determine but for God who knows all and sees all to determine. And God's determined success standard is all established in His righteousness and this standard is all to do with obedience and surrender to His manifested Word of authority and dominion, which is Christ. Christ is life itself and in Christ, we have overcome death, which is an outcome of failure. Therefore if you are truly in Christ, always remember that irrespective of your natural world circumstances, your total and final outcome in Christ can only be of good success to the glory of God. Therefore, persevere in all things, listen obey, trust and continue to believe in Jesus no matter the natural outlook of things. His perfect plan for your life is the only right plan that is guaranteed to work together for the good of your soul.  As the Alpha and Omega, Christ has fully completed the work of your salvation on the cross to ensure you are delivered from death and secured in His divine Will of eternal life success. In Christ, your soul is already established in success. Therefore, anything that resembles failure in your life can only be nothing but deceitful lies from the pits of hell mainly for the purpose of confusing you into believing that you are a failure when you are in fact a success full being in Christ Jesus.  

Remain encouraged by God and enjoy the rest of your day full of hope and optimism for a better tomorrow. 

Better days are ahead for a saint of God reading this today. Amen. 

Proverbs 3:1-8

"My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: 

For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. 

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:  So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones."

Proverbs 3:1-8

"My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: 

For length of days, and long life,

and peace, shall they add to thee. 

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee:

bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: 

So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;

and lean not unto thine own understanding. 

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones."

We are not called and chosen to please man. We are called to please God. If we try to please man we will displease God. Man is pro sin and God is righteousness itself. And the only way to continually preach God's true Word of righteousness  and remain in righteousness alignment with His divine Will, is by seeking and desiring always to please God and not man.

God's righteousness revealed is Christ (Jeremiah 23:5-6). The world of course is anti-Christ who is righteousness of God revealed in the flesh. The world hates God's righteousness because the world is pro sin. Therefore, we shouldn't expect to be popular with the world or for the world to love us if we are genuine preachers of righteousness.    The wages of sin of course is death and the reward of righteousness is eternal life of peace, rest and joy with God (Roman 6:23). It is therefore important that we do not jeopardise losing the reward of righteousness by preaching worldly centred messages for wordily popularity or just for the sake of worldly approval. 

In order not to jeopardise losing the reward of righteousness, which is eternal life of our souls, it is better we hated and be unpopular with man for preaching righteousness than to jeopardise becoming unpopular with God through preaching worldly acclaimed flesh centre messages. Indeed, if we are popular and loved by world, then we are not of God but of the world. The world loves its own and not those who are born of the Spirit of God (John 15:15-21). Those are born of the Spirit of God are no longer of the world but seeds of His only begotten Son who as the Word of truth manifested in the flesh has already overcome the world for us (John 16:33). Therefore, let us in all seasons preach Jesus as the Word to please God and not the world for the sake of pleasing man. So, help us all God. Amen. 

"Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 

But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him."
