Learn the secrets of the world’s richest Father


The bible states: All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. 4 Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. 5 God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. (Ephesians 1:3-5 NLT).

Before man was placed in the garden of Eden, the richest estate in the world had every single blessing for man to discover, use and enjoy. There was only one condition for living in magnificent paradise: “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden — 17 except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.” (Genesis 2:16-17 NLT).

Adam and Eve blew the greatest deal of the century by disobeying the word of God. Man was cut off from God and separated from the provider of all these blessings. But we serve a God of love and he sent Jesus to die and pay for our sins. Jesus has defeated the devil and we are joint heirs with Christ.

It is up to us to access these blessings given to us before the creation of the universe. The bible states: I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name. (Isaiah 45:3 NIV). How do we access these blessings, hidden treasures?

First step: Come close to God, and God will come close to you. (James 4:8 NLT).

Jesus said: I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. (John 15:15 NIV). But Jesus also said: You are my friends if you do what I command. (John 15:14). And what does Jesus command of his friends?: love.
This is my command: Love each other. (John 15:17).
There are nine fruits of the Spirit. And the very first fruit mentioned, the mother of all fruits is LOVE! (read Galatians 5:22).
The bible is clear: But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. (1 John 4:8 NLT). If there is hatred in your heart for anyone- could be a friend, former partner, a family member, neighbour, even your leaders. It needs to stop now!

16 God is love! Those who are living in love are living in God, and God lives through them. 19 Our love for others is our grateful response to the love God first demonstrated to us. 20 Anyone can say, “I love God,” yet have hatred toward another believer. This makes him a phony, because if you don’t love a brother or sister, whom you can see, how can you truly love God, whom you can’t see? 21 For he has given us this command: whoever loves God must also demonstrate love to others. (1 John 4:16,19-21 The Passion Translation). The bible is clear: There’s a private place reserved for the lovers of God, where they sit near him and receive the revelation-secrets of his promises. (Psalms 25:14 TPT).
 
You access the blessings, the hidden secrets of God, the world’s richest and wisest Father when you allow the Holy Spirit to change you from the inside out and begin to exhibit the fruit of the Spirit: love.

Do what the LORD wants, and he will give you your heart's desire. (Psalms 37.4 Contemporary English Version).
