Your independence and the will of God is very vital for fulfilled Christian life. You need to be ‘separated’ from people in order to walk in the will of God. This separation does not mean that you don’t love your dear ones. It does not mean that you have to neglect your responsibility of loving your dear ones and caring for them!
Please watch the video above for the full details.

If ye love me, keep my commandments John 14:15.
The issue of sin always comes up in Christendom. The way it is presented by some Christians sometimes repels some unbelievers and they never would want to become Christians. Let us be patient towards newly born again Christians when they err or commit sin. Jesus said that “….Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God (Matthew 22:29). As we all learn and do the word (John 14:15), our lives are improved and the amount of errors we commit reduces greatly if not completely.
This is the mindset we have to have- that because we love God (although He first loved us), we are not going to commit sin as we do His word; rather than having the mindset that God will seriously punish us when we sin. Although God chastises us sometimes, we should not see God as someone who is always judging and punishing His children for every errors or sins they commit. God is bigger than that and He loves us so much. Even when we were unbelievers (sinners), God loved us. He loves us even more now that we are His children. Don’t forget that ‘babies’ sin all the time but when one is matured in Christ, sin is put behind.

Can you imagine a world where everything is perfect? Can we have a world where there are no robberies, no murders, no diseases, no poverty and deprivation, no pollution and what have you? What a utopian proposition! The statistics of the elements above are always not pleasant for most countries on this planet. All of us have the ability and responsibility to make this world a better place but not all of us have the mind-set of making the world a better place- that is why some people work to generate wealth and some others refuse to work but will rather rob the wealth of others. Why is this the case? We are going to explore this using the scripture below.
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things (Matthew 12:35). You will always give what you possess and you cannot give what you don’t possess. If you give what you don’t possess, then it is likely that you have either stolen from somewhere to give out or you have borrowed from somewhere to give out.
A good man always has good treasure and therefore brings forth good things. Good men will not rob from people; good men will not murder; good men will not blame the systems of the world as being responsible for every bad thing that happens but will rather contribute to ensuring that the world is a safe haven for everybody on earth. A good man will always discover something glorious and share to improve the lives of people in the world. A good man will invest in appropriate sectors after hearing from God. A good man will hunger for increase in order to bless the world. A good man is full of love, hope and faith. If you love people, hurting them will never be an option.
The negative things happening in the world now are as a result of the fall of man resulting in a heart that always brings forth evil things. To change an evil heart requires the word of God. Therefore if you want to enjoy the treasures of prosperity and meaning in life, change your heart by receiving the gospel of Jesus Christ. You may have heard the phrase “born again” several times and may not have been moved by it. But this is the truth, to be born again is to discover who you truly are and the abilities God has deposited in you to bless yourself and the world around you. “Born again” goes beyond mere religious rhetoric.

John 3:16 says that “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” The bible states that among the elements of Faith, Hope and Love, Love is the greatest. Why is love the greatest? Love is perfect knowledge or perfect understanding. Love is the greatest because it is that which enables us to give out and make impact. Giving always precedes love! Love is manifested in everyday life. Parents portray their love to their kids by providing the necessities of life. In cases where parents are unable to provide life’s necessities for their kids, they sacrifice whatever is available just to make the kids comfortable. A couple in love will always share and care for each other.
The value of your love is measured by the level of sacrifice you make. In medicine, some people are able to donate their organs to save other lives and this is great demonstration of love. I have read of a father donating one of his kidneys to save the life of his child. The greatest demonstration of love as recorded in the good book is God the father giving us His son to be crucified on the cross for the whole world to be saved. His death has brought salvation to the whole world. His death has given us the confidence to go to God’s presence and fellowship with Him.
God has finished His part of the ‘contract’ because of the provision He has made. A contract is usually signed between two or more entities. Our responsibility as people on earth is to accept God’s provision and become born again. To become born again is to accept Jesus Christ in your heart as Lord and Saviour of your life.
The video below titled ‘Love letter from God’ from Crown Video and Father Heart Communications will so much bless you when you watch it. God the father always wants to have fellowship with His children. The father is a merciful and powerful God who so love anybody who is willing to be born again.
Pray the simple prayer below if you want to accept Jesus Christ as your personal saviour:
“Father, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I recognise the provision You have made for all my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal saviour and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. I am a doer of your word from this day. In Jesus name, Amen”
