Perfect Love?

WHAT IS LOVE!
Hi friends,
Have you ever wondered what is love? Or is love important in my life?And if love is important, then why?

Friend in order to answer those questions correctly we must first understand what love realy is.
Personally I have developed a method that has helped me a lot in analyzing a subject.My method is based in finding out first what my subject is not.Therefore since our subject today is on love lets find out what love is not first.

Love is not a romance, even though millions of people erroneously think it is!Romance is a part of love, but romance in it self is not love.

Love is not a sexual attraction, yet millions of people by erroneously thinking that it is, have based their relationships and binded themselves into a covenant of marriage as a result of it.The covenant of marriage includes it, and it is a part of love, but in itself sexual attraction is not Love.

Love is not a feeling ,Love is not a thought, and Love is not an emotion, even though thoughts, feelings, and emotions, can be used as an expression to demonstrate our Love towards others, on their own they are not Love.

Love is not a weakness, the power of Love is unmeasurable.Only Love can stand trials and persecutions beyond measure, and return from the battle victorious every time.And for this reason, Love is not a taker,and therefore Love is not a manipulator because Love is not conditional.

A manipulator is a person that lacks self confidence, therefore he/she uses manipulating tactics to keep others in bondage and gain, power.We see that happening in relationships of all kinds and in every area, affecting peoples lives and sometimes totaly destroying them as a result.

So what is Love?

Friend, According to the Bible Love is a gift from God,and Love is the character of God!1John 4:7"Beloved let us love one another, for love is of God;and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.He who does not love does not know God, for God is love."

True love never ends! People give up what they thought was love!

"Love is patient and kind.

Love is not jealous or boastful, it is not arrogant or rude.

Love does not insist on its own way, it is not irritable or resentful.

Love is not happy with evil but is happy in the truth.

Love bears all things, believes all things, endures all things!

Love never gives up!And its faith hope and patience never fails!

1Corinthians 13

The easiest way to test your love for another is to ask yourself ,if you are willing to step aside for their happiness!

Jesus said this is how we know if we love another, if we are willing to give our life for them!

For love is not conditional.Love gives when it does not receive!

John15:13"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down ones's life for his friends"

My friends nothing worthwhile can sustain itself in the absence of true Love.
A marriage without Love is nothing more then a dead marriage.A job without Love is nothing but a bondage.A trip without Love is a boradom.A home without Love is a gaol..Money without Love are useless, and behind every problem, in every situation you will be faced in life, you will find that the root cause of it, is the absence of love.

Only love can bring joy in every situation, and add a smile into a persons face.

Love can bring healing and prosperity in every area of your life, because love can cause a ressurection to come forth out of the ashes!

Yes friend, Love is the greatest motivator that exists!

We do things for love that we never do for money!

And the absence of it leads to hopelessness every time for nothing can survive without Love.

Because Love is the life of God that sustain us and with it it brings, trust, joy, contentment and the peace that surpasses all understanding in our lives.

Love is a giver!Yes Love gives even when it does not receive, because only Love has the ability and the power to forgive!Jesus said "Father forgive them...." He was talking for those who were nailing Him on the cross
"This is why love never fails".

The greatest example of love and forgiveness that Jesus gave us we will find in the parable of the prodigal son in Luke15:20.....And when his father saw him from faraway he ran to him with open arms!

That tells us that love respects the persons wishes and lets the person free, but love waits expectantly for his return.....with open arms!
LOVE indeed HAS BIG ARMS,we call them cuddles and bearhugs.

Mother Teressa once said that millions of people die for lack of food-just a cup of rice but sadly she said millions more die for lack of love!

My dear friends, our problem in todays society is not financial, even though it may appear to be on the surface.

Our problem today is the absence of love that has allowed fear to take control.
Because fear is the opposite of love according to the bible.

1John4:18 "There is no fear in love;for perfect love casts out all fear, because fear involves torment.But he who fears has not been made perfect in love."

People all over the world at present are fearful of losing their job, their homes or other assets, but when truly investigated the root of the problem is lack of love from the corporation towards its people.

My friends each time I place my eyes at the cross I see a demonstration of perfect Love.

My Saviour who gave His life up for me, and became the propitiation for my sins, carried my sorrows, my sicknesses, my pains,and every curse and calamity upon His body because He loved me first.

I am reminded that for me He was bruised, and denied, His was bitten and niled at the cross crucified for my sins, so now I can walk in the light, made whole purified, because by the blood of my Lord I am redeemed!"

"For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.For God did not send His Son to condemn the world but to save him!"John3:16

Honesty and integrity the foundation of true success!

Hi there friends,

Is honesty and integrity a realy important attribute in order to sustain a long lasting success in life?In bussiness? in relationships?

One has to look at what has been happening lately in the world financial markets and in marriage relationships to answer for it self.

Will leaders learn how to control money and greed, instead of money and greed controling them?
Will couples enter a covenant of marriage for the right reasons?
Will the whats in it for me attitude, ever change?


Money has power but uncontrolled power will destroy a person!Money are not evil and it is nothing wrong with having money but been possessed by money its the root of all evil!Today our society has moved in the site of corruption,. Moral values have changed.People with power try building business with fraud, and integrity and honesty no longer considered as an important part in their lives, but the suddenly always arrives at some stage and how great is that fall!

Infidelity has become a plague. The marriage bed has been defiled by many, and with the help of the internet the door to sexual imorality has been opened wide.It has been a common pass time for married businessman/women, to find a lover on the internet.Unfortunatly that path always leads to distraction!

Proverbs 6:32 says "Whoever commits adultery with a women/man lacks understanding;He who does destroys his own soul.33 Wounds and dishoner he will get, and his reproach will not be wiped away.34for jealousy is a husbands/wives fury.Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.35 he will accept no recompence, nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts."

Infidelity brakes the marriage appart.A marriage that is broken by infidelity can never be whole again. Its likened to a cup that has been broken, and been glued back together"You will always see the cracks".

Hebrews 13:4"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled;but fornicators and adulterers God will judge"

Many couples have been trying to cover the damage that infidelity has cause in their relationship pretending all is well, or will be well with time, but it is like a broken cup that has been put together "you always can see the cracks"

The trouble had started way before the infidelity took place, that marriage was wrong from the start! Something was missing "God"!

Jesus said "THOSE WHO GOD PUT TOGETHER" Friends how many couples do you know who God put together?I only know of few.

Many of you who know me, have heard me say that my first marriage was arranged by my parents and the second by the devil.Yes my life was a mess because God was not in it.

Many couples had enter into marriage for the wrong reasons,they have never asked God for His advice and now they pay the price!

Some are getting divorce, some are battling ilnesses because they had just closed their eyes to the real problems, pretending in public all is well, and cried in secret for years.Now ill health has taken control and as a result -some are bitter, some are angry, some have turned into food for comfort, hating themselves even more each time they face the mirror, some are trying escape travel, but they all have one thing in common they are all unhappy because God had been excluded"

A fake smile is visible to all, it speaks one thousand words without a word spoken!

"My dear friends only "Love" breeds happiness and joy, there is no contentment without love, there is no joy without love, there is no peace without love, and many doctors believe that our emotions have a lot to do with our physical health.

Love is the greatest gift of all,because love is from God for love is God and without Him love is absent.

But love is happy with the truth and it never fails!

Yes Friends Honesty and integrity is the foundation for a successful marriage! Ephesians 5:22 says Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord

25"Husbands, love your wives just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.

28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies;he who loves his wife loves himself.

My advice to couples whos marriage has been shuttered because one of the partners was unfaithful is this.

You cant stay together because of the kids ,finances, or for any other reason but one.

"Wanting to spend the rest of your lives in the arms of each other with love like God intended for couples to be!"

You have two options therefore one is divorce, the other is total trust in God. That will require a lot of prayer and forgiveness from both parties .

Are you willing ?

Your marriage can be restored by the power of God ,but it will take a lots of time to build that bond of trust, it will require a lot of honest communication between you, lots of effort and understanding from both parties, and a lots of love and constant forgiveness.

It will be a new kind of relationship nothing like you had in the past, because as I said before like the broken cup that has been glued together you will always see the cracks.

Therefore each time you do, you must change your focus, turn your eyes on God and forgive all parties who contributed to the cause of the cracks.

Are you willing?

Jesus talked about the two house builders"So then anyone who hears these words of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on a rock. The rain poured down, the rivers flooded over and the wind blew hard against that house but it did not fall because it was build on rock.
but anyone who hears these words of mine and does not obey them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.The rain poured down the rivers flooded over the wind blew hard against that house and it fell and what a terrible fall that was.

Likewise a good business cannot be sustained without honesty and integrity.

IN1923 eight man controled more wealth then there was in the US treasury!
*Arthur Cutten -the great wheat speculator
*Charles Schwab- president of the largest steel company in America
*Albert Fall- the secretary of interior in president Harding's cabinet
*Leon Fraser-The president of the bank of international Settlements
*Howard Hopson- the president of the largest gas company
*Ivar Kreuger- Head of the world's greatest monopoly
*Jesse Livermore-the great "bear" on wall street
*Richard Whitney- president of the new york Stock Exchange

These men were "movers and shakers of their time"but something was terribly wrong with this men's lives.
They new how to make money but they build their fortunes on shaky foundations.
They allowed money to control them and forgot that honesty and integrity is the solid rock foundation were long lasting success is build on it!

Twenty five years latter
*Arther Cutten was insolvent and died abroad!
*Charles Schwab, went bankrupt!
*Samuel Insull, died in foreign land penniless and a fugitive from justice!
*Howard Hopson was insane!
*Richard Whitney had just been released from Sing-Sing prison!
*Albert Fall had just been pardoned from prison and died at home, broke!
*Jesse Livermore committed suicide.
*Ivan Krueger committed suicide.
*Leon Fraser committed suicide.

In the book of proverbs we find the following
16:25 There is a way that seems right to a man but its end is the way of death"
20:7The righteous man walks in his integrity, his children are blessed after him"
22:1 A good name is to be chosen rather then great riches"
26:27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it"
28:29 A man with an evil eye hasten after riches, and does not consider that poverty will come upon him"
20:17 Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man,but afterwards his mouth will be filled with gravel"
21:6 Getting treasures by a lying tongue is the fleeting fantasy of those who seek death"
18:11"The rich mans wealth is his strong city,and like a high wall in his own esteem"
5:22 "His own iniquities entrap the wicket man,and he is caught in the cords of his sin"
6:15 "Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly,suddenly he shall be broken withought remedy"

My Personal Testimony

My Personal TestimonyFriend I don't know who you are, I don't know what your life is like,rich or poor healthy or sick.... all I know is that if you are reading this page its for a reason!

I want to share few personal things with you.You see I had been known to my friends and all those around me as a person full of life for most of my life,but friend nobody knew the pain that I was carrying inside or the struggle I was going through!

Four years ago that struggle turned into a mount Everest of stress that affected my whole body and the doctors had no cure!I had carried wounds from childhood they multiplied in my adult years, emotional abuse sexual abuse, arrange marriage before 15 years of age, divorce, rejection, unfulfilled desires,failed bussines,hurt ,sickness.....always searching always unable to find!
I have lived very poor and also very wealthy!I stood by the side of my daughter when she almost gave up...in short I know what pain is all about

But four years ago I discovered what true love is all about!

Because four years ago in the darkest hour of my life and with tears streaming down my face I said with all the strenght I had left at that time."JESUS if you are who they say you are, if you love as they say you love,if you heal as they say you do, help me please just help me heal me and save me because I cant go any more!

Friend that was my prayer of salvation, what followed and the transformation that has taken place in my life is a miracle!

Now I am helping others everywhere that are were I use to be, to come to where I am!

What JESUS did for me He will do for you if you let Him!

He was crucified and became the sacrificial lamb because He came for us to save us!

Friend He died young so we can die old.He gave His life so we may have life and to have it more abundantly to the full."For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich"2 Corinthians8:9

Yes friend and He was raised from the dead so we can overcome anything that tries to come against us!" Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven,and of those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the father"Philippians2:9/11

"Breaking the Habbit!" The most common new years resolution

"Breaking the Habbit!" The most common new years resolution!

By what I've heard, experienced, and known, breaking "that habbit" is the most common new years resolution.

Millions of people around the world begin the year with a list of things that they want to achive during the year ,

unfortunatly many of those dreams never see the light of accomplishment.

Habbits and addictions can ruin our peace steal our joy and destroy or shorten our life.Everything starts somewhere and it grows into an addiction.

Food to satisfy an unfulfilled emotional need or a yierning of love,alcohol to drawn the burdens and forget the problems,

an afair to bring a bit of joy a boost of self esteem when rejection is eating one on the inside or a fear of unsatisfy desires, Drugs to escape reality,overspending by the use of credit cards trying to convince ones self that has not fail in life and so on.......as long there is an unfulfilled emotional need there will also be an addiction to take its place.

Addiction a small word for such a vicious enemy that comes in unnoticed to kill steal and destroy our life.

Friends in order for a solution to be found one has to look at the root cause of the problem.

Questions need to be answered with honesty .

What lead the person to drugs,why drinking?

Why overeating?When did it start and why?

Why am I running away?

Whom am I try to escape from and why?

Who is that invisable enemy that I am trying to silence?

Most often the cause is unfulfilled desires and absence of love.

Love is what is lacking in the world today.Most children grow up in the hands of strangers and spend very little time with parents.Later on they may get rejected in a relationship, betrayed by friends or fail in business .

By now that love void in the heart has grown to huge proposions and has become a hunger,they try therefore to fill it by finding comfort in food, clothing,overspending, alcohol smoking or drugs.

It started with a positive thought, a bit of happiness ,an escape from stress, a bit of comfort, a hug so desperately needed, a kind word, an escape from reality,an ending to depression.......Perhaps this will do it....maybe........another mans arms...perhaps another women can understand my needs, wine...a pil....hunger for food another dessert.... chocolate.....the enemy has thrown the bait but hidden inside there is a hook and the result is Addiction.

In my experience in order for a habbit or addiction to be broken it needs a want, a burning desire and a willingness to change.The want has to be more powerful then the addiction.
But still no matter how strong the desire, the person needs power to overcome it.

The only source that supply that kind of power that I am aware of is God's word.When God's word is accepted firmly believed and acted upon, it has the power to change any test into a testimony,any trial into triumph by breaking the chains that kept the addict into bondage and setting him free.

In my personal life I have overcome great fears, childhood traumas, and emotional pain beyond measure. When I discovered how much God loves me and what the word of God said I am, what the word of God said I have, and what the word of God said I can do, my life was transformed.I no longer viewed myself as a victim because The word said that I am a victor more then a conqueror, chosen, appointed and blessed,empowered to prosper in every area of life, a masterpiece,endowed with power, given the ability to overcome all trials and temptations highly favoured and deeply loved by God.

Yes friend the moment I experienced Jesus true love I was set free!Today I help others to overcome .What is very interesting to me however is that I found that condemnation guilt and rejection been the most common hidden enemy that people try to escape from.

Yes behind most addictions that people get hooked on and also many ilnesses the cause is lack of self love.I witnessed people getting healed miraculously from terminal cancer or other ilnesses, once they were able to forgive themselves and others, and begin to love.

Today I pray that this year, the love of God will empowered you to prosper and overcome any destractive habbit or addiction that have kept you a prisoner,I pray that the Lord will fill every need in your life, that your eyes of understanding will be enlightened, I pray that you will be able to be strenghened by His power, and that you will be rooted and grounded in love, and to understand how special God has made you and how much Jesus loves you, because friend you are so special ,you are one of a kind, you are a masterpiece, and I pray now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, I ask Him to set you free for it is writen"whom the Son (Jesus) sets free is free indeed John 8:in Jesus name Amen!

Are you focussing on success today?

Are you focussing on success today?

As there are two sides in a coin so it is in everything in life.

There is winter and spring,an ending and a new beginning, failure and success, tears and smiles, darkness and sunlight,a death and a birth and so on....

It is in crisis times that we see the real man separated from the boys, the winners from the losers like the wheat is separated from the chaff.

Are you focussing on success today? If not then what are you focussing on?

We will never solve a problem when our focus is on the problem.It's all a metter of focus. If we place our focus on our problems bad economic times, undesirable news,endings,and failure,we will end up with worry,tears darkness and death every time.

Worry never solves a problem it only creates more Fear,sickness and even death can be the result.

"If you faint in the day of adversity your strenght is small"says the Bible in proverbs 24:10 There is an opportunity everywhere at anytime for those looking for one.

Looking back at history we see wars, famines, financial crisis that have come and gone, but the clock kept moving!

There has been more progress now then ever before. Knowledge is at its uttermost, never before such knowledge existed.We can communicate from one side of the world to another with a click of a button.We can travel at record speed across the world and even the universe and yet a lot of people sometimes can't get past their nose, because they drown themselves in deep negative distractive thoughts.

Diamonds are crystals composed of pure carbon. When the carbon is brought under tremendous pressure,it forms the diamond. The more pressure the more precious they become!

The're inventions that haven't come forth yet. Great businesses that have not open their doors yet. Minds of great man and women that yet to explore new ventures we know nothing about. Just like the diamonds they are currently formed under pressure!

What kind of a diamond are you?

Endurance

Endurance
The invisible quality of a champion is endurance!
He refuses to run from a fight!
He knows that overcoming involves more then one battle!

Rejoice not against me,
O mine enemy:
When I fall,
I shall arise!
Micah7:8

He never conciders quiting as an option!
He rests, then he gets up again!
Hell fears a fighter!
Your endurance makes the enemy tired!
With God as your partner you cannot fail!

A mushroom can spring up in a day,
an oak takes fifty years or more to mature.
Mushrooms dont last,oaks do!

"Blessed is the man that endures temptation,
for when he is tried he shall receive the crown of life
which the Lord has promised to them that love him"

Hidden Treasures

The riches places in the world are not the diamond mines of Africa,
neither the rich oil fields of the world.
The riches places in the world are the graveyards!
That's where all the dreams are burried
all the great inventions that never been accomplished!

Friend hold on to your dreams
Rise boldly !
Let them manifest!
Do not allow fear or rejection pull you down.

When people reject you it's not because you are inferior
but because you are superior!

If Jesus is your LORD
You are destined to WIN!
