“Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.” Proverbs 16:24 (KJV)   Another love language is Words of Affirmation. Many times, people confuse this with flattering. You are not called to flatter your spouse but find something good to appreciate and celebrate in him or her. No one is totally good (except God) and no one is totally bad (except...

“For this is how much God loved the world—he gave his one and only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life.” John 3:16 (TPT)   Today, the world is getting aware of love languages and the fact that we are very different in the way we understand and express love. As I shared with you...

“Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 11:1 (KJV)   Today, I am challenging you to be God’s Ambassador –let the world see Christ in you everywhere you go.   We live in a world full of tension. The hearts of many are failing them. Trust has long gone out through the window, a brother is willing and ready to betray another...

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18 (KJV)   I recall one of the images of God that most Christians identify with: A big guy up there with a mighty cane, ready to hit you at the slightest provocation”. So it was easier to be afraid...

“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.” 1 John 4:16  (KJV)   Love has been defined in various ways. Some have defined love as a feeling. So, when the person you love comes around you, you feel different, there is excitement in the air, and...

“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Hebrews 13:4 (KJV)   Today, we live in a world where perversion has become the order of the day. People have various interpretations of marriage, and many are asking: why should I even marry? Beloved, I have come to tell you that marriage is good and honourable.   Just like you will not...

“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh” Genesis 2:24 (KJV)   The love of God for man is so much that God wanted man to be as comfortable as possible. His idea for man was to live a happy and fulfilled life. This explains why at creation, when God brought all animals...

“By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.” 1 John 5:2 (KJV)   We live in interesting times when men love convenience above all else. I recall when the message of grace started, the first complaint of people is that grace was a license to sin, and one thing I told everyone that cared to listen...

“If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?” 1 John 4:20 (KJV)   Yesterday, we learned that love is not just a feeling; love is a person, and that person is God Almighty. He loves Himself. The easiest thing...

“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” 1 John 4:8 (KJV)   Welcome to the start of a new month. February is the month that many take out time to express love to one another. The question is: do you understand true love? Love is a very common word. Everyone talks about love, but how many truly understand love?   God does not have love...
