Love abundantly and live a pure and blameless life

And this I pray, that your love may abound more and more [displaying itself in greater depth] in real knowledge and in practical insight, so that you may learn to recognize and treasure what is excellent [identifying the best, and distinguishing moral differences], and that you may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ [actually living lives that lead others away from sin];
Philippians 1:9‭-‬10 AMP

Glory, honour and adoration be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Today’s scripture is a prayer by Apostle Paul for the church in Philippi. I believe that the church of today also need this kind of Prayer and action.

That we will abound in the love of God and be unified. That we will love because of our greater insight and understanding in the things of God. That our love will not be based on feelings but on real knowledge and practical insight into the things of God.

The scriptures also urge us to live a morally upright life so that our lives will be examples to draw others to Christ. A pure and blameless life to attract others to follow Jesus Christ.

May the Lord help us to love one another with understanding and the knowledge of Christ. May our lives be pure and blameless so that it will attract others to follow Jesus Christ. Grant us this grace O Lord. Amen.

Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.

“Blessed [anticipating God’s presence, spiritually mature] are the pure in heart [those with integrity, moral courage, and godly character], for they will see God.
Matthew 5:8 AMP

Glory and honour be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Jesus’ first public teaching in His ministry here on earth was the Sermon on the Mount also known as the beatitudes. Someone has described the beatitudes as beautiful attitudes! Once you follow the teachings you are putting on a beautiful attitude that prepares you for eternity. It is also said to be the “Be Attitudes”, calling us into action!

The scripture says that blessed are the pure in heart, that is we need a very clear conscience to serve the Lord. We need our integrity to be at work to qualify as pure in heart. To be pure in heart we must pass the morality and godly character test.

Lord Jesus we come before your throne today asking for grace to be able to live a godly and upright life that exhibits integrity and high standards of morality. May our hearts and minds be pure so we will be called the blessed of the Lord in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Meditate on the Honourable, Worthy, Pure and Excellent Things confirmed by God’s Word

Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].
PHILIPPIANS 4:8 AMP

Praise, Glory and honour be unto God for this beautiful day, the 1st day of October and the start of the last quarter of the year. May we celebrate His goodness today in a special way. Happy New Month!

Today, Apostle Paul is speaking to us directly like he did to the church at Philippi so many years ago. The words are so relevant today, May be even more than the time he gave this charge.

Let us strive to do these, the things that are of good reports and are praiseworthy should be associated with us. The Apostle Paul made himself as an example to the people. May we learn from him and be examples to our generation. May our minds be that green pastures that only nurture things!

May the Lord help us to live according to His Word, May our meditation and our minds stay on the the things that are praiseworthy, pure, excellent and confirmed by God’s Word in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.
