‎God demanded an offering from the Israelites and it wasn’t just an ordinary offering, instead, He demanded for the BEST from whoever was WILLING to give adding that a sanctuary be built for Him also to dwell in (Exodus 25 vs 1-8).
‎
‎God Almighty is associated with excellence and will not demand anything less than the Best from His Children. And of course, we know that in giving our best to God, it will no doubt cost us something of great value, which could either be our time, resources, effort, relationship with others just to mention a few. For no one can give his/her best without stretching and subduing the flesh. Meaning intentionality is key when giving your best to God and it is a significant price to pay.
‎
‎As new testament believers, our body is firstly God’s dwelling place, which should be offered willingly and at it’s very best, not sometimes but at all times. It is dedicating our daily life, choices, and physical body to serving God’s purposes(Rom 12 vs 1). It is also leaning on Him with the help of the Holy Spirit for directions on how to sustain and maintain His presence, through righteous living.
‎
‎In willing and giving our best to God as an offering, we present Him the best in
‎continuous praise and worship as a gift which honors Him (Heb 13 vs 15). Secondly, we give the best in material or monetary gifts to advance the kingdom of God and to help the poor (Philip 4 vs 18). Thirdly, we give our best in acts of kindness and good deeds to others, as this directly qualifies as a pleasing sacrifice to God (Heb 13 vs 16). Fourthly, we present God the best in giving up our life for the faith, as it is the ultimate earthly offering to God (2 Timothy 4 vs 6). And lastly, we give our best in willingly sharing the gospel so that others will dedicate their lives to God (Rom 15 vs 16).
‎
‎In conclusion, If we can wake up everyday to put up our best at work in order to pay the bills, how much more the things of God. Giving the best in whatever we are giving unto God despite the discomfort is what is acceptable as an offering and It doesn’t come cheap.

You can’t give God your best if you’ve never accepted Jesus into your life and the first step to doing that is to please say this prayer:
‎Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus, your word says whoever calls on the name of the Lord and confesses Jesus as his Lord and believes in his heart that He was raised from the dead will be saved. (Roms 10 vs 9-13). I call on your name Jesus and I confess you as my Lord  I believe that you were raised from the dead to pay for my sins and I thank you for doing that for me. Now I know I’m saved in Jesus name amen)

‎When God speaks, our first responsibility is to document it. Just as Moses recorded the Lord’s words (Exodus 24:4) and Habakkuk was told to write the vision plainly (Habakkuk 2:2), we must preserve what we receive.
‎
‎When we actively step out to execute God’s word, He imprints His laws directly onto our hearts (Exodus 24:12), transforming His commands into our daily habits.This process fulfills the New Testament prophecy. Hebrews 10:16 : “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them.“Therefore, taking intentional notes during church services, personal prayers, and bible study is vital.
‎This single discipline equips us to execute God’s plans, advancing His purpose in our individual lives and across the global community. God governs His people through His written word and covenants. Because His commands are perfectly just, the more we deeply meditate on them, the more clearly we see the wisdom in obeying them.
‎In conclusion, writing down God’s word is not merely a way to remember information; it is the starting point for spiritual transformation. The physical act of recording His voice sets the stage for a divine partnership. As we actively study, meditate on, and obey the written word, God mirrors that text internally, engraving His desires onto our minds and hearts.
‎Ultimately, a documented word leads to an obedient life, positioning us to be effective vessels for His global purpose.

‎If you’ve never accepted Jesus into your life, ‎the starting point to being Spiritually Transformed is to say👉 (THE SALVATION PRAYER):
‎Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus, your word says whoever calls on the name of the Lord and confesses Jesus as his Lord and believes in his heart that He was raised from the dead will be saved. (Roms 10 vs 9-13). I call on your name Jesus and I confess you as my Lord  I believe that you were raised from the dead to pay for my sins and I thank you for doing that for me. Now I know I’m saved in Jesus name amen)

‎Man’s love towards God is the third part of the triangular model previously explained. And it comes in various ways of Man displaying his love towards God.
‎
‎The following are such ways –
‎1) To believe in God.(Heb 11 vs 6, John 14 vs 1)
‎2)To be Obedient to God’s instructions and guidance.(John 14 vs 15, 1 Sam 15 vs 22)
‎3) To offer service to God.(Rom 12 vs 1, Josh 24 vs 15)
‎4) To fellowship and be intimate with God through prayer and worship.(James 4 vs 8, John 4 vs 23)
‎5)To walk in faith.(Gal 2 vs 20)
‎6) To trust God.(Isa 26 vs 3, Prov 3 vs 5 -6)
‎7) To study and meditate God’s Word.(Ps 119 vs 11, 2 Timothy 2 vs 15)
‎8) To submit and give reverence to God’s ordinances.(Eccl 12 vs 13, Rom 13 vs 1-2.).

When man responds to God through these eight pillars, love ceases to be a mere feeling and becomes a tangible reality. Jesus summarized this profound truth in John 14:21: “Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.” Therefore, showing love to God is not defined by human emotion, but by active alignment with His divine nature and will.
‎
‎To understand the full scope of this spiritual relationship, we must look at how man’s love completes the entire triangular framework:
‎The First Side (God’s Love for Man): This is the foundation. God initiates the relationship through unconditional love, grace, and the sacrifice of His Son (1 John 4:19).
‎The Second Side (Man’s Love for Neighbor): This is the horizontal expression. Loving God requires loving others, as we cannot love a hidden God while neglecting a visible brother (1 John 4:20).
‎The Third Side (Man’s Love for God): This is the vertical response. It connects the loop back to the Creator. Man uses the eight expressions listed above to reciprocate God’s initial love.
‎When all three sides of the triangular model are active, a believer experiences total spiritual alignment. Trusting, Obeying, and Fellowshipping with God directly impacts how we treat our neighbors.
‎
‎Ultimately, fulfilling the third part of this model satisfies the greatest commandment ever given: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37). Through belief, service, prayer, and reverence, for then will man move from being a distant creation to having an intimate companion with the Living God.

‎Love can be described as a triangular model, consisting of three parts. love from God the initiator to Man, love from Man to a fellow Man and Love from Man back to God. It’s a recurring event that continues from generation to generation.It is also good to say this relationship is the oldest expression of love in existence, flowing endlessly from the Creator into the hearts of humanity.
‎
‎In modern culture, love is often reduced to a feeling, emotion or an affection. However, the love being referred to here challenges us to be intentional and practical in our actions towards one another.
‎
‎The following highlights God’s expectations of how we are to act and walk in love towards others.
‎1) True love doesn’t participate in the destruction of another human beings character. That is, refusing to spread gossips, slander or malicious rumors about someone instead, stay silent and defend them when the crowd is tearing them down.
‎2) Love towards your fellow Man is not reserved only for those who love you but it extends also to those who oppose you. When an adversary is in crisis, love suppresses the ego, ignores the grudge, and steps in to relieve their burden. It prioritizes human dignity over personal conflict.
‎3) Love is treating foreigners well. It is treating the vulnerable, poor or isolated with fairness and not exploiting their disadvantage for personal gain.
‎4) Finally, loving your fellow man means intentionally creating margins in your life, your business, or your resources so that the less fortunate can find relief, food, and rest alongside with you. It ensures that your success or your work doesn’t come at the expense of someone else’s burnout.
‎
‎In a nutshell, treating a fellow man should not be based on how they treat you, but instead on the divine standard of love you have received from the top of the triangle.

‎God’s Word is love as God himself is love and no human logic can fully grasp this love, for it requires supernatural help.Hence, asking the Holy Spirit to open our spiritual eyes daily, so we can genuinely feel and understand how much we are loved will help.
‎Letting go of bitterness, unforgiveness, anxiety, and self-reliance to make room for the fullness of God in our hearts, is also another way to experience the love of God. As we spend quiet moments in prayer by simply receiving His presence and allowing His peace to crowd out our worries, we will also be filling ourselves up with overflowing kindness towards others.
‎
‎God’s love draws a veil over every insult and finds a way to make sin disappear. Love’s jealousy over you as a child of God is stronger than the chains of death and the grave, for this jealous love is all consuming as the very flashes of fire from the burning heart of God.
‎
‎God’s love also embraces anyone who keeps and walks in His Word. As mentioned earlier, God’s love is sacrificial, it is  poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit through joy, peace, patience, kindness, faith, strength, gentleness and a life full of virtues. While others may fail in loving you, God’s love never fails, His love is the beautiful prize for which we run in life, for it is Christ’s love that fuels our passion, holds us tightly and sustains us through storms and pain.
‎
‎Love is praying for those who have hurt you, it forgives.  Despite Jesus’ innocence, he still asked God for forgiveness on behalf of the people who persecuted him. God’s love has been speaking from inception of the world and it’s still speaking over thousands of generation. His love beckons on us to draw near to Him and He’ll not only give rest but he’ll draw near to us also.
‎Make a decision to answer the call to God’s love today, embrace it and enjoy the greatest gift of all.

‎God speaks to us in diverse ways every single time. Ironically, the Israelites were so terrified that they weren’t ready to experience God speak directly to them. (Exo 20)
‎
‎How often do we experience God speak to us? Do you know that His love speaks to us every day, either as believers or non-believers, everyone is a partaker of His love. We see and experience His love in the sun that shines, the rain that falls, the trees that forms the ecosystem which enhances our life’s just to mention a few, but ultimately, His greatest love of all is the giving of His only begotten son as a ransom for our sins.
‎
‎Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection and ascension is God’s ultimate way of showing His unconditional love to mankind that death has been defeated, sins penalty has been fully paid for and that humanity is permanently reconciled unto Him (God )
‎
‎In order to experience a few dimension of Christ’s love from scriptures (Eph 3 vs 17-19), we must constantly use our faith by actively choosing to believe God loves us, even when we feel lonely, guilty, or overwhelmed. Additionally, our identity must not be rooted in our status, career, relationships, or achievements but on the fact that we are loved by God. Furthermore, His love breaks through every mental limitations, no matter how far we’ve fallen or where we are in life, His love is wide enough to reach us. Fourthly, God’s love is long enough to reach and last through our past, present and future experiences.
‎Finally, His love is deep enough to reach our hidden hurts, failures and shame. And of course, it is high enough to lift us into heavenly purposes.
‎
‎Why not allow God speak through His love to you today? With the help of the Holy Spirit and a determined heart, you’ll experience His love in a greater dimension.

N.B: We would love to hear your thoughts on this, kindly drop your comments and let’s chat.
‎

‎Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people for all the earth is mine. Exodus 19 vs 5.
‎
‎”To be a special treasure to God above all people”  is to be adorned with towers/houses of rubies, gates of sparkling jewels, and walls of precious, delightful stones ( Isa 54 vs 12) (paraphrased). That is living a life that is packed with beauty, value and divine favour. Glory to God!!!!……. Alleluia!. Who on earth won’t want a blessed life like that?
‎
‎But unlocking this status requires commitment. It means setting oneself apart for a higher purpose. A lot of people ghost God when they feel a pull toward faith because they think a spiritual life is boring or kills all the fun. But they are missing out. The pure joy you get from the Holy Spirit completely outclasses any temporary high this world can offer. Just like every kid secretly wants to be the favorite or stay on their parents’ good side, we all have a built-in desire to be chosen and valued by God.
‎
‎I recall some years back when my parents got an invitation through my dad’s best friend to have dinner with him and the President of the country. Planning commenced immediately the invitation got to our knowledge. And we all stuck to the TV to watch the glimpse of the event. I remember my mum made new clothes with matching shoes and bag. I stayed up late to ask what type of food they had and how the whole event went; the conversation lasted for weeks and some months within the family.  What amused me the most was the energy and preparation that went into meeting an earthly leader.
‎
‎Yet, the God of all nations is constantly inviting us to be a special treasure unto Him. While some of us miss out His various signals, some ignore His nudge to come closer. To show up for God, we need that same level of intentional preparation so we don’t miss the moment.
‎
Here is how you prepare
‎
‎1) Cleanliness. And the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and have them wash their clothes (paraphrased). Are you clean in and out? Coming clean before God as a believer/unbeliever is tp drop the baggage, confess any hidden wrongs or grudges, and let Christ renew your heart.
‎2) Set Boundaries: Take time to fast from distractions, including pausing “for a while” intimacy for married couples or practicing total abstinence for singles, to focus fully on God.
‎3) Stay Coachable: Obedience to every instruction given and follow through on them.
‎4) Intercession for others: as believers, we are meant to intercede for others, share God’s love and live a life of service.
‎
‎Make the choice to be a special treasure today! 
‎

‎Complaining against a system be it a corrupt government, a strict boss or a toxic family dynamics is ultimately complaining against God. Think about the Israelites, who constantly targeted Moses with their grievances essentially saying go tell your boss we need water or that you should have left us where you met us. How ironical, to kick against the one who’s trying to save you, many are times, we fall into this mindset more often than we admit.
‎
‎God’s absolute supremacy  means He’s actively involved in the leadership of every country, as no President or King is appointed by error. Every leader is appointed to either build up God’s people or to test them. The minute the Israelites allowed their doubts to turn into constant complaints, God drew the line and declared they won’t enter the promise land – and that generation missed out.
‎
‎As believers, complaining is a bad thing or act. It sends a message to God that He made a mistake appointing those specific people in authority/power. Instead of adding to the noise online and offline, we need to pause and ask what God is actually doing in the event of play.
‎
‎Here are some rhetorical questions we need to ponder on. Are we deserving of these leaders? Is God using them to make or mar us? Are we walking in Faith or Doubt like the Israelites? Is God still with us or has He moved to the next generation to fulfill His promises?
‎When you allow the Holy Spirit answer these questions, your perspective shifts from earthly frustration to divine strategy.
‎
‎Action Point:
‎1) Heavenly Father, I repent of all complaints and chose to view things from your perspective in Jesus name.
‎2) Instead of complaining, I will honor God’s perfect plan with gratitude, serve as light and salt in other to inspire and uplift those around me.

‎What instructions have you stopped yielding to from the LORD?
‎Exodus 15:26 and 16:4 MSG both portrayed God testing the children of Israel……… “I am going to test them to see if they’ll live according to my teaching or not”.
‎
‎Our journey with God will come with sincerity, when our faith is tested, revealing the true nature of our devotion and total obedience to His instructions, which flows from genuine love rather than mere duty.That is, our relationship with God gets real when our faith is tested.
‎
‎A simple instruction was handed out to the Israelites not to live any part of the manna until the following day and not to gather anything on the seventh day, but still, some of them didn’t yield to these instructions. A partial obedience is no obedience, as total obedience strengthens intimacy with God. However, God values an obedient heart over outward, empty religious rituals.
‎
‎True sincerity means passing the test of motives and moving from performing for people to living for God. As we grow and mature, various tests will be thrown at us and we are expected to overcome them all through Christ our Saviour.
‎
‎Victory is embedded in our obedience to God, which serves as the ultimate proof of our love for Him. We obey God in order to please Him and not to earn any human applause, for obedience is not a mindless compliance, instead it’s aligning our desires with God’s will. Our obedience is also through Christ and not in our strength and lastly, true obedience shines brightest when no one is watching except God.
‎
‎In conclusion, every obedience evaluates our sincerity whether we will follow God’s commands or our own. When we choose His path, our faith deepens and our character matures. This daily surrender transforms obedience from a heavy duty into a joyful relationship.
‎
‎Action Point:
‎PRAYER:
‎1) Heavenly Father, help me to lean on Christ in order to fulfill every instruction you give me, in Jesus name.
‎2) Father, I pray that you enable me walk in absolute obedience and not in partial obedience in Jesus name.

if you’ve never accepted Jesus into your life, please say this salvation prayer: Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus, your word says whoever calls on the name of the Lord and confesses Jesus as his Lord and believes in his heart that He was raised from the dead will be saved. (Roms 10 vs 9-13). I call on your name Jesus and I confess you as my Lord  I believe that you were raised from the dead to pay for my sins and I thank you for doing that for me. Now I know I’m saved in Jesus name amen)
