Brothers and sisters, we are required to seek the wisdom that is from heaven, the wisdom that is pure, no deceit, no lies, no hypocrisy (a person who puts on a false appearance) no anger, but truth and love, very peaceable and gentle. James the Apostle of our Lord Jesus Christ tells us in the book of James 3:17, “the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” (NIV).
The wisdom is peace-loving, it yields, does not have any pride, just love-that is the bond of perfection, well pleasing to the Father.
Are you deceitful? Are you hateful? Disrespectful? Verbally abusive? Do you still lie? Such behaviors are of those in the world. Please brothers and sisters, kill it. If you still lie-kill it, anger-kill it, gossiping-kill it. Hatred-kill it.
James 3:15 declares, “This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, and demonic.” God said, Amba stop yelling at your children, it is demonic, and if you keep yelling, no one will obey your words when you council or preach. Gentleness, calmness, caring attitude, peacefulness and love, packed with the “Fruits of the Spirit” “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23)
You are a new creation, please “let the old man go and put on the new man, be renewed in the spirit.” (Ephesians 4:22-24). Apostle Paul tells us, “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Please allow the new to take over your body, mind, and heart.
(Romans 12:9) tells us “Let love be genuine. hate what is evil; hold fast to what is good.” (NIV) Please brothers and sisters strive for peace with everyone, and holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” (Hebrews 12:14) You must have the “Spirit of Christ in You.” Love and peace. (Romans 8:9).
Let love rain in your hearts please, brothers and sisters.
(1 Corinthians 13:4-7) declares, “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
Please love with a tender loving heart. Help the poor, the needy, the homeless, the widows, and the orphans. Share your bread with those that does not have. Jesus will surely repay you for your kindness. Apostle Peter confirms,“Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart.” (1 Peter 1:22).
“Little children, let us not love in word or talk, but in deeds, and in truth.” (John 3:18). With a Sincere heart.
-Testimony about the pregnant woman in surrey who sat on the floor by the pharmacy. Hungry and pregnant, I had to buy food for her.
-Testimony about the hungry man I met in Port Hardy, Canada. while evangelizing-after I bought some food for him, he was able to listen to the word, and the love of Christ.
-Testimony of the widows and orphans in India. I always bought food and rice for the widows and orphans in the ministries I visited.
(1 Peter 2:1) “So put away all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all slander.”
Please love with a pure heart, forgive one another, be nice towards one another and wash each other feet. Amen!!!!
