   “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit .” John 3 : 5 , 8 KJV Just as it is important to note that Nicodemus’ amazement about the import of God’s abiding presence with Jesus Christ inspired the spirit stimulus recommendation, no one can escape manipulation by the elements of this world without the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, “ Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God ” remains the unshakable foundation for the practice of righteousness, the provision of peace, and the preservation of joy in the Holy Ghost in the believer's everyday life. Otherwise, the wind of conflicts at home, conspiracies at workplaces, and corruption in the society is bound t...

  “ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3 : 16 NKJV The love of God does not only teach that the greatest gift is love, it admonishes that there is no love without sacrifice. The so much love of God translates to the so much sacrifice of His only begotten Son. It implies that the greatest gift is the sacrifice of the best ever possession without reservation. It is a risk of the greatest proposition for anyone to dream of presenting the greatest gift to salvage an undesirable relationship. Unfortunately, skilful men in their self-centredness and abuse of love would prefer to sacrifice other people’s possessions to demonstrate some kinds of gifts. Since these Greek’s gifts are rooted in wickedness and unrighteousness, they are not the same as the demonstration of the love of God. Whereas, these Greek gifts only lead their recipients into slavery and shame rather than freedom a...

  “ And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God .”” ‭‭John‬ ‭3:19-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Those who submit themselves for public service must be commended because of their courage to get scrutinized by the school of public opinion. People with skeletons in their cardboard or without sufficient cover networks for their dreadful deeds are naturally secluded from public service because, in the words of Jesus, their deeds were evil. Notwithstanding, Jesus says those who engage in dreadful deeds are condemned, not for their love of evil, but for their hatred for the light. Whereas, those who engage in delightful deeds are children of the light because they love the light ; they a...

  “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭ 3:19-21 ‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://www.bible.com/114/jhn.3.19-21.nkjv Those who religiously follow their hearts have absolute confidence in their own love lamps. Even those who claimed to know God would readily trust their hearts, rather than embrace an absolute submission to the Will of God. Unfortunately, love lamps without the necessary fuels from the living Light lead no one to safety and satisfaction. For example, Nicodemus’ lifestyle of living by His love lamp has grown bored by the time he chose to come to Jesus by night. And it does not really matter when we choose to come to the living Light. What truly m...
