ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Greetings to you, my friends!I am very glad about having this opportunity to share the word, God put into my heart for today. I believe it will strengthen and enrich you, arm you for the victory at the battle of the last days. We are talking about arms God gave to us in order to enable us to get over all those events the last days are gonna be filled with. As a matter of fact people will desperately need love at the last days. That´s why Jesus describing the hardships of the last days also set love commandments to His disciples. As we mentioned earlier, by obeying these commandments and developing our walk in love we arm ourselves for the victory.Let´s have a look at what the Scripture tells us about love commandments set up by Jesus. We will see how important walking in love and obedience to these commandments are. 
«You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour, and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, … » (Matthew 5:43-44).
«But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you..» (Luke 6:27-28)
«…‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’» (Matthew 22:39).
«A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another..» (John 13:34)
 In all these verses Jesus instructs His disciples of what their attitude to enemies should be. He says we are to love our enemies, pray for them and bless them. We find the same principle of love in many verses of the New Testament. Love is a tool or a weapon to gain a victory at the last days. 
«Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honourable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.” Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.” Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.» (Romans 12:17-21).
 When we walk in love and obey its commandments, we celebrate the victory over any kind of evil. Only love can beat hatred. Therefore, God calls us to live a new life – life in love. Let´s continue this topic tomorrow. I believe God speaks to you through this word today. Walk in love, obey its commandments! Love is a powerful weapon you can gain victory in the battle of the last days. See you tomorrow!Be blessed!Rufus Adjiboye, pastor.

    Jesus dwells in me, therefore I must manifest His life to others.

When God glorifies or uplift you, nobody can break, humiliate or pull you down.«Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing» (2 Corinthians, 2:14-15).

  • The true knowledge of God only come through the One Who is ‘ in the bosom of the Father’ – from Jesus

    The word “Father’s bosom” means very close to the Father’s heart, to be by the Father’s side or on the Father’s breast. That word was used in John to describe John leaning on Jesus: «Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved» (John, 13:23).So Jesus was close to Father’s heart, and that is why He was able to manifest God to us. The true knowledge of God only come through the One Who is ‘ in the bosom of the Father’ – from Jesus.
