-God must grant it to us..
-God permit it
-we got to have hunger and thirst
-in the kingdom of God, the more we eat, the more hungry.. the more we drink, the more thirsty
-in this covid19 pandemic season, God gave us the natural reason to stay at home.. more time to eat and drink of the spirit
-righteousness is the character of kingdom of God
1. be intentional in cultivating christlikeness
-be very purposeful.. grow more and more like Jesus
-real purpose in life is not riches and wealth... but to glorify God and enjoy Him forever
-images.. to point, display, glorify the original
-God made us in His image..
-during the covid19 pandemic lock down..
-our love for God and each other were tested.. has it grown cold
-our gentleness, kindness, self-control were tested.. being tgt in the same house for the longest period of time
-learn to be patient..
-it has to be intentional
-learn not to be anxious..
-learn to trust God for the outcome
-learn to be loyal..
2. be international in unconditional love
-learn to love unconditionally
a happy marriage requires 100% commitment
-we made a vow during marriage... we cant quit if we dont like it
-marriage is a life-time commitment
-we are to love our husband/wife just like Jesus loved us
-love and forgiveness goes hand-in-hand.. its unconditional
-theres no limit and condition
-dont set a limit on how long the wait will be
-as long as theres condition, its not true love
-even if we stay unfaithful to God, God remains faithful unless we renounce Him
-nv be the one to initiate a divorce
-dont cut anyone out unless the other party cuts
-if the love is gone, treat each other as friends.. do what friends do...
-friends talk, hang-out, civil, being kind
-romance, affection is only temporary
-its a different type of love in heaven
-its this kind of love that drove Jesus to the cross to die for us
-even in pain, depressed.. there will be a unspeakable joy when we hang-on and try to love unconditionally
-even the greatest romance on earth can nv be compared to the joy in heaven
-through pain and hardship, God is teaching us to love
-loving alone is enough even without any reward
-the act of love is satisfying.. any response is a bonus
3. be intentional in marketplace discipleship
-our mission is to be in the world and not of the world
-our values have to be different if we want to make a difference
-our goal is not for riches, promotions..
-our focus to be on righteousness, disciples of Jesus
-our focus have to be right and such will be added to us
-success can come from God or Satan..
-the devil can give wealth and fame too!
-the difference is God can give us wealth and fame without sorrows
-sorrows.. tiredness, having trouble
mortification - kill every rebellious habit as it surface in our life
-pride, greed, anger, envy, jealousy
vivification - develop, strengthen the virtues of Christ
-we need both!
-the kingdom of God is where Jesus can rule and reign..
-dont make wealth and fame our goal... it will lead us astray
its not easy.. it requires the love of Jesus
