1 COR 6:19 ‘Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.’

God is the author of relationships. And for that case it is very true to conclude that godly romantic relationships are a blessing! Through these relationships we get to experience the extent of His love.

But then it is always wise to remember that to every godly blessing is tied to it a condition. And today,

Ezra 7:10 For Ezra had devoted himself to study and observance of the law of the Lord and to teaching it’s decree and laws in Israel (NIV)

In every kingdom there is an order that is usually followed and the violation if that order and patterns in which things are done leads to different results rather than the required ones. In most African communities they had an order in which they conducted their activities and events such as dowry payment, weddings, burials among others. Among the Kikuyu community for instance if you receive dowry and you hadn’t paid yours, you are not supposed to use it until you first pay your dowry. Failure to observance of this order can lead to mysterious diseases that machines and doctors aren’t able to detect and treat.

1^st Thessalonians 4:3-7

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we all forewarned you and testified. For God did not call us to uncleanliness but to holiness. Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man but God who has also given us his holy spirit.

Our commitment to the love of God is usually measured through various ways.

Total surrender in regards to following Christ means the complete submission of ourselves to Him. It is submitting ourselves, our hearts, our bodies our lives and our will to Him, without withholding anything. It also means living under the Lordship of Christ and making Him (and our love for Him) supersede everything else in our lives. The most important thing that God desires from all of us is our hearts’ full willingness to obey and trust in Him, that is faith.

Nimeshindwa kuzuia, leo kukuandikia
Yale umenitendea, nikiwaza ninalia
Amani umenipea, siwezi kuelezea
Mungu ninapokuwaza, ninakutabasamia

Isaiah 43:1-2 But now, this is what the LORD says — he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

1 Peter 4:12-13Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.

Hosea 6:1-2 “Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.

When sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD,Satan also came among them.God asked him what he was doing and said that he was going to and fro on the earth.God asked him whether he have seen his servant Job,a man none like him on earth, blameless and upright.
