Introduction of Loving God Series BlogSpot

Introduction:

In this Loving God Series, we will explore how to Love God by living a life that pleases Him.

In John 14:21(ESV) the Lord Jesus Himself tells us that “Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them†The commands the Lord referred to here are His words and teachings on many subjects based on which Christian principles are derived. He also emphasized that ‘Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me’†John 14:23–24(NIV)

The passages above teach us that we love God by obeying His words consistently but as a Christian, my greatest challenge is being able to apply the word of God and biblical teachings in my daily interaction with:

Our father in heaven and the Lord Jesus Christ, Myself, My family members, coworkers, strangers, believers in the church, unbelievers and business associates.

I realized that I read the word of God every day, take some notes, meditate on it and determine to apply it in my life. But unfortunately, once I encounter an adverse situation like sudden rejection of my business proposal, false accusation, difficult family situation etc, I become either confrontational, emotional or very defensive and remember to apply the word of God after the fact-when I have hit send on that email or text message or completed the argument.

But this is not God’s desire for me. His desire is that I should rule over my circumstances through the power of the Holy Spirit. And I know that on several occasions when I have encountered difficult situations and have asked the Holy Spirit to assist me, my reactions and responses have been remarkably different and glorious on both sides- Instead of acting immediately on my own strength, I stayed away from the response, prayed for the guidance of the Holy Spirit before wording and sending that email or text, or confronting that difficult situation, the outcome has been wonderful. But it has been inconsistent, and my prayer is to achieve consistency in application of the word of God in my everyday life.

The purpose of setting up this blog is to connect with Christians who have the same challenge and are sincerely seeking to better their Christian life.

Therefore, if you are a true believer in Christ Jesus who is thirsty and long to live a Christ centered life and your focus is to be ready for the Lord Jesus as the five wise virgins were, I encourage you to come on this journey with me. Here at Inspiration Inn Ministry, we can learn from the word of God by the help of the Holy Spirit and from each other; to inspire consistent application of the Word in our daily lives. This will help us to grow, mature and live a fruitful and effective Christian life which glorifies the name of our father in heaven and equally shows that we love Him.

We are already motivated by the word of God in Mathew 5:6 which states “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. So, come on board because The Lord Jesus is ready to answer our prayers.

Objective of this blog is to encourage daily and sincere application of the word of God in every situation, God is omnipresent, and He knows those who serve him in truth and spirit. 2nd Timothy 2:19 (KJV)  “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

And the goal is to rekindle the love of God in the heart of believers. We have become complacent, limp and powerless and the Lord warned us about this in revelations Rev 3: 4-5 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. Many of us including the writer can quote many scriptures but cannot apply them consistently in our lives and we also apply it selectively depending on how we feel. Let us therefore repent and commit to living a Christ filled life.

Activities: 

Sunday Evening: Scripture Post Evening

We will be having various posts on Scripture and Christian Living but our first is the Loving God Series which has many parts, that will be posted here every Sunday evening. The Bible passage of interest will be discussed, and relevant Christian principles drawn out of the passage and how to apply them in our daily lives will be discussed also. Members are encouraged to have a journal that will document their application of the word shared during each week and how they continue to apply it together with other ones as we trust the Holy Spirit to help us. As we conclude each week, we evaluate and encourage each other on how to overcome our deficient areas.

 When you respond to this post, please indicate interest in being a member that wants to embark on this Loving God Series. At the end of this month, names are compiled and we reach out on how we discuss our challenges and encouragement of each other on our Christian journey.

Wednesday:  Intercessory Wednesday

Once in a month we do Intercessory Wednesday: Intercessory prayer evening where we gather by 8pm EST to pray on prayer topics submitted during the week by members. We also share testimonies of answered prayers. Every listed program starts at the end of the month after we have compiled list of interested. participants.

Saturday: Evangelism Saturday

Once in a month when we encourage members to share the word of God and discuss salvation message with at least one person anywhere and anytime by any means like in person, email, text, Phone, zoom, video and or visit those in need, give to the poor, homeless, those at the hospital as we preach the salvation message to them as the spirit leads us. We should log having done one of the activities listed for Evangelism Saturday in our journal.

We trust in God our father, The Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to help us throughout this journey. Amen.
