Mat 22:37-38 "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,and with all thy soul,and with all thy mind.

This is the first and great commandment."

Loving the Lord is the foundation of true walk with God, and genuine work for Him. Love God genuinely

GOD LOVES YOU

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
*John 3:16-17

Forgiveness is a blessing and gift to yourself not others really. The amount of forgiveness you give is the same you get.

Forgive, so that you can be forgiven.

In the actual sense of the word, no one has anything of their own. We are only stewards of those things we think we posses. Therefore, using the privileges you got from God by grace to oppress others is a definition of reckless abuse of grace.

Misplaced priority is prioritising the ephemeral above the eternal; placing what's actually yours in Christ above Christ Himself. When you seek Christ, what's in Christ will seek you. Let God go ahead of you; every other thing would be placed rightly.

Put God first in all things

If you constantly stay within the Vine, your life would constantly experience the touch of Divine. It's only the One who gave life that is able to give solution to the problems of life. Stay with God; that's the only way to stay safe.

Salvation is moving from the realm of death to the kingdom of life. Except a man be born again, he will die and die again, and not see the kingdom of God; neither here nor hereafter.

Don't make a mockery of the opportunity that you have to be saved.

God only gives us what we need and what He expects us to have according to His riches.

Whatever God did not give you but is in your life is a snare; and it's a sin. Cast it off.

Before yielding yourself over to the compromises that can cut you away from God's Presence, think about the costs; and its potential indelible scars.

It's safe to steadfastly remain in Zion (i.e. God's Presence) in order to avoid everlasting sorrow and regrets.

[Sceptre of the Living God @SLGMandate]

Riches without reaching out to the needy with blessings is an abuse. Similarly, he who gives should know that God uses men for men. You therefore, don't need to overrate your importance in the life of a fellow human for any reason. All the blessings of God are through men to men.

I witness to you today that Jesus Christ, the Beloved Son of the Living God died for our sins that we might be saved; and rose again the third day to give us hope of eternal life. If you would repent of your sins today and completely turn away from them, you will receive life

Pride puffs up a man beyond his normal size. Part of what humility connotes is acknowledging the fact that you're limited and realizing your limits. There are so many things you can't achieve by your own strength; you therefore need God.

[Sceptre of the Living God @SLGMandate]

You may have silver and gold but if you don't have God, you've got nothing but emptiness and vanity; just an empty life.
On the other hand, if you have Jesus, you have the Fountain that produces life and all good things. It's a life without Christ that is actually empty and void

The Lord chose Saul and anointed his head to be king over Israel; but Saul's head ended up in the temple of idols at last...

The anointing on the head of the anointed is nothing if his heart is not consistent with God. No one removes God from their life and ends well.

The life of Jabez presents a valid reference point of how God can turn the situation of a man around for good Suddenly. Interestingly, the God that answered the prayer of Jabez is still answering the prayers of His children today.

[Sceptre of the Living God @SLGMandate]

When the children of the man of God are not children of God, that would eventually become a crack on the ministry of the man of God. Successful life therefore is more of positive impacts on the people around you, starting from your immediate unit.

As humans, we're 'works under construction'. But how we know that it's God that's working on you is that, your life would undoubtedly be getting better and brighter until the perfect picture is formed for God's pleasure and His purpose. Otherwise check who might be working on you

There's ONE who can separate the waters from the waters; appointing the different waters to their different positions. He is the Lord Almighty. The depth of His Power is unsearchable. The heights of His acts are past finding out. That's why He's God.

[Sceptre of the Living God @SLGMandate]

The highest and best of man's abilities can only produce what's naturally possible; but God's realm supersedes all. We need God Himself to see the possibility in our impossible situations; and to receive the miracles that are beyond human comprehension.
