God Created You

Matthew: 5:46. “For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans (tax collectors) the same?”

Sometimes as Christian we can forget who our Father in heaven is. What character he has and what type of righteousness he expects from us. Jesus, the Word of God came to inform us about who our Father in heaven is. Through his sermon on the mount he says many things about our character, His Father’s character and the world’s character.

The above scripture talks about two common types of characters, the just and unjust. If you are a follower of Christ you live by faith, and if you are a follower of the world you live by sight. So as Christians why do we say we have love yet only show it to other Christians, or other worldly people who love us back. The Word is saying here, your love should not have any respect of persons because “there is no respect of persons with God” (Romans 2.11). Don’t get me wrong, I am not accusing you, but I am highlighting the Word to your Spirit, that when you say you love like Jesus, your love should cover the just and unjust. When God raises up the sun, it covers the evil and the good, when he pours rain on this earth, it falls on the wicked and righteous.

Therefore, walking in his righteous love is like seeing two people walking on the street. One man is in tattered clothing and is drunk with wine, another is nicely clothed and well mannered. The love in you should command your actions to greet both with open arms.

Walking by faith allows you to see the unseen, to believe in the unbelievable. Meaning if your neighbour has persecuted or praised you, your ability to show love as a response should not waver.

James 3: 8-10 says “But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless God, even the Father; and with it we curse men, which are made after the similitude (likeness) of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be”.

So as Jesus says in our opening verse, so “if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?” The world loves by sight because that is as far as the eye can see, we walk by faith, therefore let our love see and walk for eternity, just as our Father who is in heaven. Show mercy always, forgive always, and love like Jesus.

Some people wake up feeling shy, some wake up asking why?

I wake up giving thanks

Thanks for loving me so much

Setting your plans for me with your spiritual touch

What is it about me that makes you raise the sun in the morning?

Or when in danger my spirit becomes a warning

As a child I stumble, as a man you make me humble

Even in times of trouble you’ve become my protective bubble

The tongue is strong so when I speak with belief I shall receive…In your timing of course

For this Lord, I give you thanks

You once said to me:

“I am the burning man spreading through the field

I am the unseen air trying to be still

I am the everlasting light whether day or night

I am the slippery rain waiting to ignite

I am the thunderous sounds chanting down with might

I am the lightening rod who strikes to fight”

 

Hearing this makes me give thanks

Thanks for raising me up from the dead

Illuminating my soul with the sweet taste of your bread

For I know I am not being mislead

So Father Lord I give you thanks

 

 Hallelujah, Hallelujah, all praises to the king

His love is fresher than spring so today I will truly sing

 

Listen and Listen patiently, he said cleave to this with certainty

“You are dust moulded into perfection

Bold and strong you overcome any oppression

You are the protectors of this righteous realm

Wield your double edged swords, my word will overwhelm

Go forth and have dominion for you and I are one

Side by side like Father and Son”

 

All I want to say is thanks, thanks, I give you thanks

For all you have done, for I am so blessed and my soul is at rest

Oh Lord I give you thanks.

 

Lord, lead me to your altar as I say “yes” to your offer

You’ve filled my heart with laughter

For I know you are more than a conqueror

I bow, as I give myself away for you have known me since day

Your word says:

“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child

I thought as a child but now I am a man, I put away childish things”

I am a youth but I’ve set my foot on a road called truth

What can I do?  I just give him thanks

 

The sun cannot escape its light

The sword shedding blood cannot resist its fight

The fighting woman screaming for help is hopeless

The hopeless man raping the woman is helpless

The darkness cannot comprehend beauty

The beauty in light cannot stop shining, it’s a duty

The wall separating neighbours is needy

The needy neighbour up and down all day long is greedy

The speared shepherd causes the sheep to scatter

The scattering of morality drives humanity sour

The knowledge of His Kingdom is power

The power in one man’s word can change a whole hour

The tongue is a powerful tool for the soul

The soul is always seeking its maker

The maker is known to mankind as God

The God of this universe has spoken his word

The word is my saviour, and his name is Jesus Christ

 

Hebrews 3:3-4

To every house that is built there is an architect behind it. To every room in the house there is an interior designer. To every song that is sung, there is a composer and to every book that is written there is an author. So why is it so hard to accept that the house we all share and the interior designs that come within it has been fashioned by the Almighty God. Man loves to worship and honour the house but we all know the builder of the house has greater honour than the house itself. The heavens don’t have a voice, they don’t have mouths to speak words, yet their voices goes out into all of the earth, their words to the ends of the world. Remove the veil you have ignorantly placed on your heart because the “Glory” of man is like a flower, it blossoms only to see it fade away like mist in the air. How do I know Jesus is the builder of my house? Well the builder always has a key to the house and when He comes in, I sit with him and break bread. We laugh, we converse, he gives me insight about how he built all the other houses and everything in them for we know every house is built by someone, but he that built all things is God. Life is given thus it cannot be taken because the giver of life already overcame death. Stop being afraid of the certainty of death and accept the reality of life everlasting.
