Olivia and Oliver, I am proud to be your mother because since from a tiny baby you have an incredible love for our Lord Jesus Christ. 

The 1st word you learned next to mother was Jesus. 
Olivia, you always say since from baby that you were married to Jesus in heaven and you are the bride of Christ. 
There is no single day you have not expressed your love for Jesus Christ.
 In everything, you and Oliver are a witness for Christ. 
Every time throughout the day and night you show your passion for our Lord Jesus Christ. 
I love it when you wanted to dress up like a bride of Christ in your school fancy dress when all kids have dressed up worldly.

I'm blessed to know that you both love Jesus Christ with all your mind, heart, soul, and strength even from the day you started to talk as a baby. 

The Holy Spirit is working in you both since you are a baby.
 When other children of your age go to bed with dolls and stuffed animals, you go to bed with the bible and Jesus statue by listening to the godly songs and bible stories.
You both are a very special child with the grace of God in the world.
 You both are born in this world with Godly purpose.


Lord Jesus, I am very thankful for your love, affection, understanding, help, and support

I thank you, Lord God, for your gifts of love and Blessings
 Lord God keep my family in your care and helps us to stay close as a family in the midst of trials. 
Help us to face the difficulties together and to live a long life together as you be the guide of our path. Amen

Do we Love God Above all things?

People seek love in many places. When we love someone we have so many feelings and emotions for that person. When we fall in love we feel loved, happy, valued, accepted, honored, wanted and protected and we want this person to be in our life all the time and we will reach to the point that we can not live without them. We think of them all the time and we trust them to share our feelings. This person becomes our entire world and we long and desire to be with them. We love them with all our heart, soul and mind. The said love could be for our parents, spouses, family members, children, neighbors, friends, pets etc. but we have a hard time in loving God truly. God gives us everything we need, and gave us many things and abilities for us to love him.


Even though we say that we Love God our Lord Jesus Christ still we have hard time in loving him truly and we have diverted our mind and love on ourselves ,money, amusements, food and drink, clothes , TV, movies, sports and other types of entertainments. We are constantly distracted from God and busy in running  after worldly and material things. Is this a true love for our God?

If we truly love our God Jesus Christ we would love to spend unlimited time with Him in prayer, and Delighting in God's Word and receive new revelations about Him, Communicating with God in Prayer by making confession, intercession, supplication and thanks giving .We will Trust His Word and allowing him to guide us into righteousness. God has an unfailing love, he is compassionate, kind and forgiving with us .His everlasting love endures forever he created us and lay down his life for us. His love is manifested by His mercy, grace, pity, patience, loving kindness, goodness, truth, forgiveness, and justice. Jesus Christ demonstrated true love when as God- He humbled himself and became a man on earth to restore our relationship with the God who created us, God made us to be loved perfectly by him, to be respected and treasured by him, his love is infinite. The more we spend time in his presence, the more we understand his love for us .But we often seek this love in other people to get our needs met, this causes us to feel unsatisfied ,unfulfilled ,frustrated and inadequate to meet the needs and are disappointed or hurt at some point.

In Deuteronomy 6:5 and Matthew 22:37-38 God has commanded to love God above everything, above everyone and even above more than our own family members. “Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength”.

When we love our God Jesus Christ we constantly think of God in our mind and heart we have the opportunity to grow in him depending on him for everything and he becomes our source to meet all of our needs, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. He comforts us, cares for us, appreciates us, he gives us peace through the Holy Spirit. God has spoken to people many times throughout the Scriptures by various means. He also speaks to us through others, through direct revelation, dreams, written words, prophets, circumstances, angels, nature, through impressions, events, thoughts and through the Holy Spirit.

When we are walking in God’s love, following His commands, His joy is manifest in our heart and He responds to us .We need to desire Him with our whole heart, hunger and thirst for Him and His righteousness. The Bible promises that if we seek God, he will come to us. God wants to be in our lives but we must be willing to turn away from the things that are not from God. God gives eternal life for the person who believes in Jesus Christ to lead a holy life and it's a Gods gift. Eternal life is God's kind of life. It is life that comes from God. (John 3:16, John 5:39, Romans 2:7)

"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me'" (John 14:6).

He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End!

He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!

He is the creative agent and the image of God!

He is our Passover, our great High priest and the Head of the church!

He is the Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times.

He is same yesterday, today, and forever.

He was bruised and brought healing! He was pierced and eased pain!

He was persecuted and brought freedom! He was dead and brought life!

He is risen and brings power! He reigns and brings Peace!

He became poor - so that we might be rich.

The world can't understand him, the armies can't defeat Him,

The schools can't explain Him, the leaders can't ignore Him.

Herod couldn't kill Him, the Pharisees couldn't confuse Him,

The people couldn't hold Him and the Satan couldn't defeat him.

He has been misrepresented by those who don't know him.

Nero couldn't crush Him nor Hitler could silence Him neither the New Age can't replace Him

He is love, truth, holy, just, unchanging God.

He has all power, all knowledge; He rules all things and sustains all things.

He is the Lord of lords, Author of Life and salvation.

He is the advocate and the Judge of the living and the dead.

He rules my life because I am his child and He is my Father.

I serve Him because he knows everything about me, He knows me even before I was conceived.

I love him because He loves me with an everlasting love.

He is my provider, and He meets all my needs.

When I am broken heart, He is very close to me for he is my greatest encourager.

His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life.

I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise, the power of the powerful,

When I am sad he wipes away every tear from my eyes for he takes away all the pain I have suffered on this earth.

He will never leave me, Never forsake me, Never mislead me, Never forgets me, Never overlook me, and Ever cancel my appointment in His appointment book!

When I am in sorrow, He comforts me!

When I am in danger, He is my refuge and my fortress!

When I am hungry, He feeds me!

When I am sick, he heals me!

When people are unkind to me, He is kindfull towards me!

When people reject me, He accepts me!

When I face Death, He carries me Home!

He is everything for everybody, everywhere, every time, and in every way.

He is my God; My Father who is greater than the father of this world.

He wants me to be his child, a member of Christ's body and to be a citizen of heaven.

So, if you're wondering why I feel so secured, understand this...

I delight in him and he will fulfill the desires of my heart!

I am free from any condemnation brought against me and I cannot be separated from the love of God!

I have not been given a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind!

I have been established, anointed and sealed by God.

I am assured that God works for my good in all circumstances.

I am significant because I am a branch of Jesus Christ, the true vine, and a channel of His life.

I am God's temple and I have been chosen and appointed to bear fruit.

Everyday is a blessing for me for Jesus Christ is in my Life and I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me!"

Psalm 14:2  says that "Lord looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if any one is truly wise, if anyone seeks God.

What a MARVELOUS to experience the love of our Lord Jesus Christ and to fall in love with him!Nothing  in this life can substitute Gods Love!

Gods love is conditional!

Gods love can be conditional and unconditional ( He gave up his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins)or both. People who know God's will and who love righteousness will hate sin and evil. There is no scripture to say that God loves everyone, regardless of what they have said or done. If God’s love were unconditional, there would be no Hell and all the unrepentant sinners, no matter how evil, would go to Heaven. Having a right relationship with God begins with acknowledging your sin. God is love (1 John 4:8), but God also punishes the sinner and hates all who do iniquity. To sin is to break God's Law and offend His character. God hates sin. Sin is breaking God's Ten Commandment law. The Bible says that when we knowingly break any command of God, we are sinning as transgression of the law of God (1 John 3:4) and rebellion against God (James 4:17), But, He does not punish sin. He punishes the sinner. God punishes the sinner and hates all who do iniquity. All unrighteousness is sin and it is described in the Bible (Deuteronomy 9:7; Joshua 1:18). Every sin has its own consequences. God hates everyone who doesn't put Him first." God is not angry merely against the sin abstracted from the sinner, but against the sinner himself.Eg when you say God hates the theft, but loves the thief. He abhors adultery, but is pleased with the adulterer. This will not make any sense. The sin has no moral character apart from the sinner. Sin is the nature of a wicked and a characteristic of a Devil and who has gone spiritually away from God. We should continuously pray to God at all times to deliver us from all evil and guarding our selves not to have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. The sins are always to be confessed, repented, and mourned truly in order to be a righteous before God. The Bible lists many things that are sinful in God's eyes. Jesus hated sin and he hated worldliness. He put up with the sinfulness of men in order to call sinners to repentance. We can even cultivate relationships with the godless for the purpose of calling sinners to repentance and evangelizing them, but never to enjoy their sin or sinful life style. Paul said this to the Ephesians in Eph. 5:3-8, II Cor. 6:14-17


we are not to socialize at all with people who, having become part of God's Church, are practicing sin. Jesus was compassionate for sinners because Christ came into the world to save sinners. He didn't come to make sinners feel good about themselves.

Some people attempt to justify their wrongdoing by saying, for example, that Jesus refused to condemn the woman caught in adultery and that He spent much of His time eating and drinking with sinners. Jesus' words to the adulterous woman, "Neither do I condemn you" (Jn. 8:11), are filled with forgiveness, not tolerance. She knew her own sin, and He knew that she did, whereas the would-be stone-throwers weren't

reflecting upon theirs. So Jesus had to deal with them first. But after He forgave the woman, notice that Jesus did not say, "Go, follow your feelings, celebrate diversity, and try not to hurt anyone." He said, "Go, and sin no more." To the paralytic, He added a further warning: "Sin no more, lest something worse befall you" (Jn. 5:14). That God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.2 Corinthians 5:19

Do not be a lukewarm Christian rebuke the sin, judge righteously. One does not need to have lived all his life without sin in order to rebuke others. Jesus knew His disciples had committed sins, yet he still ordered them to rebuke sin (Matthew 18:15, Ephesians 5:11, John 7:24, James 5:19,20,).If we fail to rebuke others when they sin, then we ourselves have committed the sin of disobeying the above verses. We learn that the Bible forbids certain kinds of judgment, but it also requires us to rebuke sin in order to help people please God and be saved.

The Bible commands men to depart from all sin, to keep God's commandments, to be holy because God is holy, and to be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect. The Bible teaches that all men ought to live without sin and that they can live without sin by God's grace and the power of his indwelling Holy Spirit. The Bible also teaches that Christians do live without sin and overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil. One can live without sin. Here are some scriptures ref.Awake to righteousness, and sin not 1 Cor. 15:34

God has given us Ten Commandments to keep and be obedient to his commandment which is a part of his conditional love for us in order to protect us. God also cursed Adam and Eve when they sin against him. If sin alone was the object of His hatred, why didn't He destroy only the sin of our first parents? There are many people who ignore scriptures on God's wrath against sin. Even though God is a loving God who forgives sin, the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. When we truly repent, God shows his grace and love, but if we do not repent, it shows that we are continuing in our rebellious ways which results in Gods wrath.

Bible verses on Conditional love:

In John 14:21He who HAS MY COMMANDMENTS AND KEEPS THEM, it is he who loves me. And HE WHO LOVES ME will be loved by my father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.

I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments. (Ex 20:5-6)

The Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God (John 16:27).

If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. (1 John 4:15-16)

Romans 5:12 shows us the consequences of what Adam and Eve started, that, "just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin," death has "spread to all men, because all sinned.

God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day." (Psa 7:11)

Proverbs 15:9 the way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

Proverbs 30:12 there is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.

Isaiah 13:11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

Amos 3:2 you only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

"But this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, vengeance on his foes! — The sword devours, is sated, drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts holds a slaughter feast" [Jer. 46:10]

God hates sinners so much that "for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8)

Because of these the wrath of God is coming (upon the disobedient)." [Col. 3:6]

Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

Hebrews 1:9 - You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness.

Jeremiah 12:17 But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 51:13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.

Jeremiah 51:52 Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan..

Romans 2:2-9 "But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. God 'will give to each person according to what he has done.' To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile"

A man who remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy. Proverbs 29:1

Proverbs 14:9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

Psalms 10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

2 Peter 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

Proverbs 10:16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men. Proverbs 4:14

And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith. 2 Thessalonians 3:2

Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 2 Timothy 2:22

May God bless all those who take a stand for the truth!

Do you Love your wife as Christ loved the Church?

Christ's love for the church is without limits. He gave His life for the church - before you loved Him. His love does not depend on your love for Him. Under God's authority - love your wife as service--as giving your life to God. Be thankful for your wife and realize the favor you have received from God."(Proverbs 18:22)


A husband must seek to be like Christ if his wife is to be like the Church. Christ honors wives by using them to describe the glories of heaven and the church, “the

holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride

adorned for her husband.” Our marriages should reflect the image of these glories on

this earth. To honor your wife is to communicate the same value God has for her, a value

that finds its expression in the glories of heaven. A family starts with marriage and it is very much seen with the bonding of Adam and Eve in Gen. 2:18, 21-24. Here we can also see that God's idea about a married couple is companionship and intimacy. There is a great bond between a parent and child, but the relationship between a husband and wife ought to be a greater bond than a parent and child.
Jesus expressed loved for the church both by words and by deeds. If a husband properly loves his wife, he will tell her so, but he will also show it by his actions.

As the head of the family a man should provide, not just for himself, but for his whole household.( Genesis 3:17-19, 2 Thess. 3:10). Providing family income is a God-given responsibility for the husband. It is not the wife's responsibility. There may be emergency exceptions. Paul presents another responsibility of husbands in I Timothy 5:8 - "But if any provide not for his own, especially for those of his own household, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel". the husband has a responsibility to finance or support or provide for his family.

But Some husbands tend to neglect their God given responsibilities neglect the spiritual training of the wife and the children, instead of they discipline the children they will put the responsibility of a wife to discipline the children, even though he is available to administer it himself, and sometimes they even place the burden of providing for the family upon the wife’s shoulders while these men grunting behind the upheld newspaper while the home decays around them. He flips the channels with the television remote while his wife hears the children’s prayers and tucks them in bed. His weekends are filled with golf, football, baseball and other extra curricular activities outside the family etc while his wife struggle alone taking care the needs of her kids. A husband needs to assume a certain responsibility for the spiritual growth of his wife. In order to do that, though, husbands must "give themselves" for their wives by laying aside many of their own personal desires and conveniences in order to fulfill a higher and prior call. The role of the husband is to love his wife to such a degree that she feels secure in that love. Jesus loved us with a sacrificial love. Jesus loved absolutely. His love was without limitation, without condition, and without reserve. The husband is to be committed to total unselfishness in the relationship. Husbands are not to be caustic, bitter, resentful or sarcastic toward their wives as you give yourself to her, allowing your hopes, your desires - your life - to merge with your wife then you are truly united as you are with Christ. Your true love calls for understanding, sensitivity, and meeting your wife's needs. It involves a sincere effort to understand her feelings, fears, anxieties, concerns, God given goals, dreams, and desires. Marriages work when two people sacrifice for each other. They fail when two people keep expecting the other to sacrifice for them. Sacrifice always involves giving something up.
Christ is always at work transforming sinners into saints. He demonstrates His love for the church by ever working to improve her. The church reflects the glory of this transformation as it positively influences the world. Similarly, husbands should be about the work of transforming their wives through love. Radiant wives reflect the glories of a husband .And the sad wives reflect the remorse and detachment. Your love for your wife should be the model how Christ loves the Church. Jesus is your role model you are the only church that most people see in your marriage.

Every 45 seconds in the United States a family is torn apart by divorce. Some husbands Display their Wife for Men to look at in a lustful way but we need to Display our Wife, Like Jesus Displays His Wife- the Church. You see God has given you your wife as a blessing here on earth. To love and cherish for your whole life. Man has been given the spiritual leadership in the family and he and his family needs to reflect Godly ways not worldly ways. Some women dress immodestly and some men allow their wife and children’s to dress immodestly. The motivation that keeps her dressing with modesty comes first from desiring to please God, and second by desiring to please her husband. The Grace of God is what motivates Jesus Christ’s bride to say know to ungodliness and worldly passions. A greed for money can keep the husband away from the family for long hours, or it can cause him to place unreasonable restraints on the family spending. Either way, this can lead to marital problems. Godliness begins with a proper relationship to God.

A Godly husband is kind and compassionate, honest, hard-working, truthful, exercises self-control, has a gentle tongue, generous, willing to be corrected (even by his wife) and listens to counsel, man of integrity, is faithful and reliable, is forgiving, willing to admit he is wrong, humble, not contentious, but a peacemaker, has control of his temper, is a man who avoids excesses, has a concern for others, especially the poor and the oppressed, can keep a confidence, fears God and is obedient to His Word, is not a jealous man, has a positive outlook on life

Eph 5:25-28 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her  to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

God makes time for us and Jesus Christ spent his time and attention with his bride the Church. If you really want to be like Him, give your proper care as God commanded to your wife. God presented Adam with a wife who was created especially for him. Therefore it would be safe to say that his wedding was for the man. Adam had looked for a helper among the animals and could not find one. The entire setting and ceremony of God's provision of Adam's bride was arranged before the woman was created.

First, we must overcome our self-centered natures, if we are to regularly make sacrifices for our wives. Jesus Christ is the Lord of the Church, and demonstrated his lordship by sacrificing himself for his Church. Therefore sacrifice is your responsibility as a Christian man. Putting your wife first requires humility. Sometimes wives are good at humbling their husbands, but this is not her responsibility. The husband is responsible for humbling himself. God's model for the married man begins with humility. The Lord says that you are the husband, the head of your household. But, having said that, the subsequent humility also manifests itself in self denial. Don't push your own desires, wants, needs, or your own way; seek your wife's way first. Seek that which will build her up, not tear her down.

Be devoted, think of her first, and assume your responsibility as the spiritual leader in your home.

To fulfill your leadership requirement, grow in grace and knowledge so you may be a partner to your wife's spiritual ambition; never quench her spiritual aspirations. Follow the Lord's model by cultivating tenderness, strength, and the initiative of a listening ear to accept your responsibility in the family.

Treat women nicely, for a woman is created from a rib, and the most curved portion of the rib is its upper portion; so, if you should try to straighten it, it will break, but if you leave it as it is, it will remain crooked. So treat women nicely. So it was for this purpose that Christ gave himself for the church. What purpose? That we could be without spot or wrinkle, without blemish, that we could be pure and holy, and should be presented to Christ pure and hole, a beautiful bride for Jesus Christ in all holiness and purity.

Thank you and May God Bless you and your Marriage!
