Fiercely Loved

Love does no wrong to a neighbor [it never hurts anyone]. Therefore [unselfish] love is the fulfillment of the Law. Romans 13:10 AMP Love is the completion of what the law says. All the "thou shall nots" of the law, becomes easy to do when you love your neighbour. You would not be able to stomach planning such evil, not to talk of doing them.  Love other people as well as you love yourself; as loving others is the right way to live. Love is the fulfillment of the law.  Love is the ultimate! #FiercelyLoved❣️

Let this hope burst forth within you, releasing a continual joy. Don’t give up in a time of trouble, but commune with God at all times. Romans 12:12 TPT Never let your trust and confidence in God wane.  Keep hope alive in you, constantly rejoice in it.  Be steadfast and patient when facing challenges, rest in the assurance that God's got you.  Never stop praying, continue to seek God's direction for your life, and He will surely strengthen you. #FiercelyLoved❣️

God ’s name is a place of protection— good people can run there and be safe. Proverbs 18:10 MSG The Lord is a mighty tower, in Him you find ultimate protection and safety.  He already sacrificed His Son to ensure you are protected. Also, provision has been made already for ALL that you would need. Protection is forever sure in God, go to Him. #FiercelyLoved❣️

What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Romans 8:31 NLT God is The Ultimate ONE, and since you have got Him on your side, that's an automatic win for you.  The promise isn't that nothing will "try" to stand against you, but that the "stand" will be unsuccessful.  There is an automatic victory when you are in Christ, however, don't allow doubt make you lose that victory. God is for you, hence no one can successfully stand against you.  But, are you for God? #FiercelyLoved❣️

And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. Romans 8:28 AMP God chose you before you were born, He loved you even before you came to be, so you can be rest assured that He is deeply concerned about you. Be convinced that God is interested about every detail of your life, and He will continually set it to fit into His perfect plan of bringing goodness into your life. You were chosen to fulfill His designed purpose, and you can't do that without following His carefully laid out plans.  Let God lead you. #FiercelyLoved❣️

And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words. Romans 8:26 TPT Waiting on God is not an easy task, in fact, it is one of the most difficult things to do, especially when you don't see the result when you expect.  The Spirit of God keeps you hopeful and joyful.  Hence, the moment you get tired in the waiting, and you feel like you can't go on, Holy Spirit strengthens you.  Even when you can't pray or don't know what to pray for, He intercedes for you, making prayer out of your wordless sighs, and aching groans.  Holy Spirit knows the mind of The Father, who better to pray on your behalf.  #FiercelyLoved❣️

So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. Romans 8:6 NLT As a believer, the power of the life-giving Spirit of The Holy One dwells in you. However, activation of this power is not automatic, it requires intentionality, discipline and dedication. Do not let your sinful nature control you, discipline your flesh.  Live a Spirit-led life, and you will have Life and Peace in abundance. #FiercelyLoved❣️

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 NLT The reward of a sinful life is eternal death. But the overwhelming gift of God through Christ Jesus is eternal life. There is Life ONLY in Jesus Christ.  God's Love is plenteous, His Grace abounds, and His forgiveness is ever sure. Hence, you don't need to do it all alone, He's got you covered.  Choose Life over death. #FiercelyLoved❣️

What shall we say [to all this]? Should we continue in sin and practice sin as a habit so that [God’s gift of] grace may increase and overflow? Romans 6:1 AMP Grace is one of God's precious gifts to the believer. His Love and Grace covers us so much that His forgiveness is readily available. However, the presence of Grace does not mean persistence in sin.  Don't take God's kindness for granted. Intentionally do better.  #FiercelyLoved❣️

And not only this, but [with joy] let us exult in our sufferings and rejoice in our hardships, knowing that hardship (distress, pressure, trouble) produces patient endurance; and endurance, proven character (spiritual maturity); and proven character, hope and confident assurance [of eternal salvation]. Romans 5:3 - 4 AMP Challenges shouldn't make you give up on God. Rather, you should have a joyful confidence in  knowing that it will turn out for your good Trials will help you develop patient endurance and total trust in God (if you let it).  Endurance will refine you and make your hope in God stronger than ever, it magnifies the assurance of God's Love and faithfulness. Hope in God will never lead to disappointment.  Keep hope alive, keep the faith. #FiercelyLoved❣️ 

For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed in a way that awakens more faith]. As it is written and forever remains written, “The just and upright shall live by faith .” Romans 1:17 AMP You cannot live a righteous life by focusing on yourself. It is not achieved by what you do, or by putting pressure on yourself to do the right thing, it will just leave you frustrated, and you may eventually burn out. You live a righteous life by focusing on God, by letting God’s righteousness that was given to you when you first believed, make you continually perfect.  You received eternal life by faith, similarly, you also live a righteous life by faith.  The Bible says our righteousness are like filthy rags in God's sight. Hence, living right with God is not something you can do on your own, let the Only True Righteous ONE, make you righteous through life-giving faith. Live each day by faith! #FiercelyLoved❣️ 

A single rebuke does more for a person of understanding than a hundred lashes on the back of a fool. Proverbs 17:10 NLT Be open to correction always. Cultivate a teachable spirit.  Don't be quick to reject correction, listen to it, evaluate it, and learn what you can to help you grow, and be better. When people notice you are teachable, they would gladly watch out for you, and work towards your growth, else, they will leave you to self-destruct. The Word is the ultimate guideline to divine correction, let God teach and correct you. #FiercelyLoved❣️

For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. Romans 1:16 NLT Never be ashamed to share the wonderful message of God’s liberating power through Christ.  Be proud to proclaim the extraordinary message of salvation.  Be thrilled to tell the world that everyone everywhere who believes in Christ is saved. Let them know of His Love so great, He chose to die for them. The Message of Christ is not to shame the sinner, so don't focus on how great a sinner they are.  The Message of Christ is the message of God's Love, Mercy and Grace.  Tell the world about that! #FiercelyLoved❣️

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord bestows grace and favor and honor; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. Psalms 84:11 AMP Choosing to walk with God is the best decision you could ever make, there are so many benefits that comes with it.  The Lord becomes your shield, He wraps Himself around you, and He illuminates your life and cause you to shine bright.  He is so generous that His Grace will forever abound, so also, His Glory will never depart from you. When you choose to walk diligently with God, you will never lack anything, because He will be your ultimate provider. His presence and peace will see you through though times. His Love and faithfulness will never run dry.  Choose God Everyday! #FiercelyLoved❣️.

What joy for those whose strength comes from the Lord , who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings. Psalms 84:5 - 6 NLT When you make God your ultimate focus, He will strengthen you, He will help you ensure your heart is stayed on Him. He will enrich your life with blessings, even in your dark times, He will refresh your soul.  You will find rivers in your deserts, and He will make ways for you in your wilderness. Keep your heart on God, and He will constantly renew you. #FiercelyLoved❣️

In the same way that gold and silver are refined by fire, the Lord purifies your heart by the tests and trials of life. Proverbs 17:3 TPT As silver refined in the refining pot, and as gold purified in a burning furnace, so also God wants to refine and purify you. The process won't be easy, but if you allow God work in you, you will be a better version of yourself, and be closer to who God wants you to be. Let The Refiner's fire purify you, and make you whole. #FiercelyLoved❣️.

But I would feed you with the finest wheat. I would satisfy you with wild honey from the rock.” Psalms 81:16 NLT Take the things of God seriously. Listen attentively to God. Don't go through life on your own, follow God's map for your life, then you will not go astray. God will give you all you need till you are satisfied and want no more. Feeding on His Word will help you conform to His Will, and He will set you on high and make you live a fulfilled life. Focus on God! #FiercelyLoved❣️

He who pays attention to the word [of God] will find good, And blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) is he who trusts [confidently] in the Lord . Proverbs 16:20 AMP Be diligent in all that you do, then God will make your way prosperous.  Trust confidently in The Lord, and He will bless you beyond belief. Put all you do in His care, and watch them grow exponentially.  #FiercelyLoved❣️

“I took the world off your shoulders, freed you from a life of hard labor. You called to me in your pain; I got you out of a bad place. I answered you from where the thunder hides, I proved you at Meribah Fountain. Psalm 81:6 - 7 MSG May God remove your heavy burdens and free your hands from hard toil. When you call out to Him in your time of trouble, may He rescue you.  When you search for Him  in the secret place, may you find Him. May He send down help to save you.  May you be found worthy of His blessings. May His Glory never depart from you. May you continue to enjoy His Grace forever more. Amen!! #FiercelyLoved❣️

Come back, come back, O God, and restore us! You are the Commander of Angel Armies. Let your beaming face shine upon us with the sunrise rays of glory, and then nothing will be able to stop us! Psalms 80:7 TPT May God turn His face towards you. May He fight your every battle. May He restore all that you have lost. May He cause His face to shine on you. May His Glory radiate all over you. You will not stumble nor fall. May He set you up on high to stay. You are UNSTOPPABLE!! Amen!!! #FiercelyLoved❣️

Get wisdom—it’s worth more than money; choose insight over income every time. Proverbs 16:16 MSG Wisdom is worth much more than ruby or gold. Wisdom opens door for a man. Wisdom gives you an edge over others. Wisdom will take you to a place of honour. The foundation of God's wisdom is the reverent fear of God. As you go through life, ensure you get knowledge, understanding, good judgment, and wisdom.  #FiercelyLoved❣️

We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it. Proverbs 16:9 MSG As you start your journey in this new month, may The Lord direct your step. As you trust Him with your plans, may He establish them and do that which is good. May God's purpose for you come to fruition. May His promises manifest in your life. May His Glory be evident in all that you do. May He help you to live a fruitful life. May His strength carry you through all situation.  May His Grace continue to abound. Have A Grace Filled Month. #FiercelyLoved❣️
