Seven advantages of loving JESUS


It is said in Matthew 22:37-38 that loving JESUS with all our heart, soul, and mind is the first and greatest commandment. And, in 2014 after two years of attending church services in a Christian Pentecostal church in our village, I have come across with that Bible verse and I decided to live by it. Every morning when I woke up I would remind myself to love JESUS first above all by doing the things that would make Him happy like praying, reading the Bible, and singing songs of praise to Him. From that time until now I continue to do those things to glorify JESUS as my GOD since it is our main purpose here on earth (Isaiah 43:7). So now, let me enumerate the advantages that I experienced from loving JESUS. Here they are:

1. You are not alone.
Deciding to love and obey JESUS and doing the things that make Him happy make you feel that you are not alone. You have a good and loving GOD and best friend who accompanies you every day. Therefore, with JESUS life is never boring. Since August of 2012 the time when I received the LORD JESUS in my life, I never feel bored until now.

2. You have a wise adviser and teacher.
In almost everything I do, I seek for the LORD’S advice and He always helps me. Like what I did when my husband and I had a fight. I asked the LORD this, “LORD what shall I do? I am hurt?” And the LORD’S reply was this, “Forgive those who have hurt you 70 times 7. And after hearing that wise advice from JESUS. I felt enlightened and the comforted. 

3. You have a Provider.
After three months of offering my life to JESUS and attending church services in a Christian Pentecostal church in our village, the LORD healed me from depression and Schizophrenia and a friend from my alma mater called me and offered me a job. That’s how great the LORD JESUS is. He knows the desires of our hearts. He knows our needs and He provides.

4. You have a Mighty Healer.
This is very true. Every time I am sick I just call and pray to the LORD JESUS, our Mighty Healer to heal me and He always heal me. By the way not just me but He also heals the people I pray who are sick like my mom and aunt.

5. You have a Savior and a Protector.
In 2015, I almost met two vehicular accidents while riding in a motorcycle on the way to our town. The first one was a van with a drunk driver almost hit us but the LORD guided our driver and managed to veered our motorcycle away from the van. The other one was when I was on my way home from town another motorcycle did overtake our motorcycle and we almost hit it. But still, the LORD protected me from that dangerous situation and saved my life. I love You, LORD! Thank You for saving me all the time.

6. You have a Comforter.
Since I am away from my family, sometimes I feel sad because I miss them especially my deceased dad. I missed him so much. But every time I feel sad, I just call on the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and pray for comfort and He comforts me. 

7. You will feel loved.
Loving JESUS makes you feel loved. He will make you feel like a VIP. He will make you feel happy when you’re sad. He will wipe away all your tears and replace it with joy. Like what He did when He healed my broken heart and healed my depression. He made me feel special because He is always there ready to help me. Even now while I write this article, I feel He is with me helping me to write. What made me say that He will make you feel loved is that the LORD JESUS talks to me and in His presence there is joy. And, I feel being loved by the Most Precious Man in the World JESUS CHRIST. I love You, LORD.

Thank you so much, my dear reader for reading this piece I hope this will help you decide to follow JESUS and love Him too. Don't forget, you should first believe that JESUS is real and tell Him you want a closer relationship with Him so He will reveal Himself to you and experience the advantages of loving Him that I mentioned above. Thank you my dear reader. Please don’t forget to leave a comment below. And let’s have more JESUS-centered convo. I love you and GOD bless you.

What GOD likes and dislikes

While I was listening to the song "You are Holy (Prince of Peace)" by Michael W. Smith last month, I came across with the lyrics that says "You're the great I am". Upon hearing it, I forgot that the LORD is the Great "I AM" (Exodus 3:14) and I started doubting. But the LORD reminded me that it's Him and that I should not doubt Him because He dislikes a doubtful servant. So, to help you increase your knowledge of Him and know how to love Him, let me tell you the things that He likes and dislikes. Listed below are the things He likes and dislikes. 8 Things GOD likes 1. He likes us. It is said in John 3:16 that GOD loves the world. It means He loves or like us because we are His creations. He gave us His own breath for us to live. 2. He likes a cheerful giver. It is written in second 2 Corinthians 9:7 that GOD loves a cheerful giver. Therefore we should freely give and share whatever we have to our brothers and sisters that are ...

Best and the godly ways to move on from unrequited love that JESUS taught me

Oftentimes we fell in love with someone who does not love us back either because they are not interested in us or is already committed to someone else. This kind of situation is heartbreaking. And, it is hard for our minds and hearts to accept the truth that we are not loved back. We kept on expecting and hoping that someday the person we love will reciprocate the feeling we have for them. But, the more you hope and expect, the more you become hurt until one day you find the courage to tell yourself, ‘this is enough I have to move on’. So, what are the best and the godly ways to move on from unrequited love? Here they are: 1. Believe and accept JESUS as your LORD and Savior. This is the first step to moving on. By doing this, your focus is shifted from the person you love, to the LORD. If you are not a believer or a Christian yet, you should first believe and accept JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOR. You can pray this prayer: “LORD JESUS, I believe that you are the On...

Seven proofs that JESUS is GOD

I woke up this dawn feeling hungry, so I cooked some Ramen noodles and ate. After eating, I went back to bed to continue sleeping but I heard the Voice of the LORD telling me to write an article about the Seven proofs that JESUS is our One True GOD. So I prayed. I told Him that I am willing and His will be done and I asked Him to give me knowledge on what are those seven proofs that He is saying. These are the seven proofs that He gave me. 1. He created the world, us, and everything around us. Colossians 1:16 says this, " For by Him (JESUS) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: " See, it is stated clearly here that all things were created by Him and for Him. JESUS is our Creator. He is our Father and our GOD.  2. He is the Word. It is said in John 1:1 that , " In the beginning was the Wo...
