WHAT ARE WE TO OBEY

The question that arises next is what are we to obey?
We are to obey the commandments of God from the very words of Jesus in the book of John14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (KJV) 
Then this same question comes up
What are His commandments? In the book of Mark 12:29-30 "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is,Hear, O Isreal; The Lord our God is one Lord. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,and with all thy soul and with all thy mind and with all thy strength: This is the first commandment" (KJV)
From verse 29 Jesus said the Lord thy God is one Lord what does this have to do with Loving the Lord?
This is because God is one with His word and His word never changes. What was the Word Jesus was emphasising on?
This was the Word spoken to the Israelites in the book of Deuteronomy 6:4-5
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." (KJV)
This was what Jesus was talking about looking at the next verse,verse 6 it gives us great light
"And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:" (Deut.6.6)
(K JV)
This command was going to be in their hearts making it a lifestyle for them but they had the responsibility of teaching their children and making it a life habit for them to inculcate the culture of Love for the Father. This was not just all,having this commandment in their hearts makes them to keep all the other words of God to them and this was the secret of David because Love has always and would always be the greatest 1Corinthians 13:13. His heart for God put him on the right track to keep the words of God Psalm 119:98 and this set him up for the massive blessings of God for him 2 Sam 7:13 his kingdom was established forever
Falling back to the very Words of Jesus the aftermath of keeping His commandment was the Spirit of truth that would be our comforter,advocate an ever present help He did not just stop at that,He said also that Himself and the Father would love the person and He would by himself (through the Holy Ghost) manifest Himself to the person.
So it all begins with Loving the Father,and He has given us this capacity to do so in accordance to Deuteronomy 6:6.

COVENANT UNIVERSITY @ 13 A birthplace of Kings and Queen A breeding ground for Eagles A birthplace of entrepreneurs A breeding place of leaders In the order of Father of Eagle Papa Covenant University was born out of intimacy Between Father Eagle and FATHER GOD Making the university to be a GOD-versity Little wonder does she make exploits and Break new grounds that cannot be made by universities Little wonder did her eagle make exploits Fellow men could not achieve in 50 years Little wonder her eagles and eaglets remain outstanding in all her endeavors.

The Blessedness Of Obedience

Understanding Obedience What is obedience? Obedience is the demonstration of the multifaceted wisdom of God. It is proving God true in whatever He says and is a sincere act of faith. I need you to understand the wisdom and the power of God in His Word. And not just the power but the wisdom therein as in the book of John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,(and we beheld his glory,the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth" From this scripture we understand that Jesus is the Word of God and from the book of Corinthians 1:24 "...Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God." So when the Word of God goes forth it is Jesus going forth and backed up with the power of God and wisdom of God for quick manifestation as in Hebrews 4:12. Then what is the essence of obeying when God's Word is that powerful? Going back to the beginning when the World was created look what God Himself said in Genesis 1:26 "And God said,l

IN FELLOWSHIP WITH JESUS PART 4

BUILDING YOUR VALUE SYSTEM AS A CHRISTIAN The first question that should come to your mind is  WHAT IS VALUE?  WHAT IS A SYSTEM?  According to late Dr. Myles Munroe value is anything you value A system is a set down rule(s) or guideline(s) geared towards attaining a goal Then a value system would be set down rule or guideline to whatever we value to attain a goal. As Christians the definition now becomes this  Value System is a set of biblical guideline(s) aimed at becoming like JESUS in every sphere of life Rom 8:29, 2 nd Cor 3:18. I would love to let us know that we CHRISTIANS are people of substance, people of virtue just as GOD in HIS imag e is Gen 1:26, but blindness has become the order of the day that a believer begins to look outside the household of faith to find solutions to her problems. It should please be noted that we CHRISTIANS are people of TIMBER AND CALIBER fearfully made in the image of GOD to look at issues in the eyeballs and
