1 Peter 3:1-9
Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, [2] when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. [3] Do not let your adornment be merely outward-arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel- [4] rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. [5] For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, [6] as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror. [7] Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. [8] Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; [9] not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

LOVE LIKE JESUS

Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 "And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 48 "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

TEXT: 1 Pet 4:17-18 — For time has come for judgment to begin at house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be end of those who do not obey gospel of God? Now if righteous one is scarcely saved, where will ungodly and sinner appear?

Matt 24:6-8 — And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars... For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom... All these are beginning of sorrows.

Joel 2:28-30 — I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions... And I will show wonders in heavens and in earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.

1. WHAT SON SHOWED THROUGH VISIONS — RED 7 — WHY NATIONS NOW FIGHTING

Son showed me servant Reagan — visions in this last age —

Red 7 — Judgement of correction first to house 1 Pet 4:17 — Purified with love Heb 12:6 — Not hatred — Zech 13:9 — I will bring one-third through fire, will refine them as silver refined, and test them as gold tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them.

I saw massive sorrow of chastening — house of God — to end massive glory Rom 8:18 — sufferings of this present time not worthy to be compared with glory which shall be revealed.

Then same Red 7 turned to nations — to evil doers — Heavier strokes — Luke 12:47-48 — And that servant who knew his master's will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes... For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required.

I saw Gold pure after Red 7 — Job 23:10 — When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold — Green 7 — 144,000 true Israel not practising sin 1 John 3:9, Rev 14:4-5 — ready for rapture.

But fighting nations refused Red 7 — Therefore heavier judgement coming if refuse — Heb 10:31 — It is fearful thing to fall into hands of living God.

What I saw: Maps — USA, Russia, Mideast, Israel, UK, Ukraine — tanks, drones, missiles, blood in streets, mushroom clouds drawings — Son said: Works of Satan.

2. THIS IS END TIMES — JESUS SAID IT

Matt 24:3 — Disciples asked: Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be sign of Your coming, and of end of age?

Jesus answered for today:

Matt 24:7 — Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
2 Tim 3:1-3 — Know this, that in last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud... unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal...
Rev 11:18 — Nations were angry, and Your wrath has come.

USA vs Russia — UK with Ukraine — Israel vs Gaza vs Iran — Mideast burning — China watching Taiwan — This is not politics — This is Rev 6:4 — Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to one who sat on it to take peace from earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

End times clock: Matt 24:33 — So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near — at doors!

3. SON'S WARNING: WORKS OF SATAN VS ACTS OF CHRIST — CHOOSE

Son showed distinction — Through visions:

Works of Satan that fighting nations now do:

Shedding innocent blood — Prov 6:16-17 — These six things LORD hates... hands that shed innocent blood — Gen 9:6 — Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed — Ukraine fields, Gaza children, Israel hostages, Sudan, Congo — All blood cries Gen 4:10 — Voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from ground.

Lying, propaganda, sowing discord — Prov 6:19 — false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.
Pride of thrones — Prov 16:18 — Pride goes before destruction.

Mic 6:8 — He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does LORD require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

Son says: Missile cannot save you — Kindness can — Faithfulness can — Love can — Because 1 Cor 13:13 — Now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but greatest of these is love.

Loving and Gracious in All Things

“There are those people who would say, ‘I’d rather deal with somebody who is rude, antagonistic and sarcastic, but when it really matters, is there for us in the big challenges of life.’

But when one reads the Holy Bible, Old and New Testament, the character of God is such that He expects us not only to be loving and gracious on the big things, but also on the little things. To be loving and gracious only when it really matters, or only when it is convenient, is not the character of Christ. We must be loving and gracious in all things—big and small.”

Christian Character Is Revealed in the Little Things

It is easy to admire someone who stands beside us during a great crisis. Faithfulness in difficult times matters. But Christianity calls us to something deeper.

God does not ask us to love only when the circumstances are serious. He calls us to love in the ordinary moments of everyday life.

Jesus said:

“He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.” — Luke 16:10

The little things matter because the little things reveal the heart.

How do we speak when we are irritated?
How do we treat someone who inconveniences us?
How do we respond when someone disagrees with us?
How do we speak about people who aren’t present?

These things may seem insignificant to the world, but they are not insignificant to God.

Love Is Not Selective

Jesus gave His followers a standard far higher than simply being decent when it is convenient:

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you.” — John 13:34

Christ’s love was not reserved for emergencies. It was woven into everything He did.

Paul says:

“Let all your things be done with charity.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14

Notice the word all.

Not some things.

Not the important things.

All things.

Our speech, our attitudes, our reactions and our relationships are all opportunities to reflect Christ.

Paul also says:

“Let your speech be always with grace.” — Colossians 4:6

Always.

Not only when we are preaching.

Not only when we are dealing with someone we love.

Not only when someone is watching.

Always.

Even When People Are Difficult

Christian love is tested most when people are difficult.

Jesus said:

“Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you.” — Matthew 5:44

This does not mean Christians must tolerate abuse or refuse to confront wrongdoing. But even when we must establish boundaries or correct someone, we are not permitted to abandon Christlike love.

Proverbs tells us:

“A soft answer turneth away wrath.” — Proverbs 15:1

And Paul commands:

“Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” — Ephesians 4:32

Kindness is not weakness. Grace is not weakness. Forgiveness is not weakness.

These are marks of someone being transformed by Christ.

The Fruit of the Spirit Should Be Seen Every Day

Paul describes the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit:

“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.” — Galatians 5:22–23

Notice how many of these qualities are revealed in ordinary interactions.

Longsuffering. Gentleness. Goodness. Meekness.

A person may demonstrate extraordinary courage during a crisis and still need the Holy Spirit to teach them patience in everyday life.

Someone may sacrifice greatly for another person and yet continually wound others with their words.

Christianity is not merely about doing great things occasionally. It is about becoming a person whose ordinary life reflects Jesus Christ.

Christ in the Big and the Small

Paul writes:

“Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” — Colossians 3:17

Whatever you do.

That includes the dramatic moments of life—and the mundane ones.

So yes, be the person who stands beside someone when tragedy strikes.

Be the person who answers the call when someone is hurting.

But also:

Be kind when nothing important is happening.

Be patient when you are irritated.

Speak graciously when you could speak harshly.

Forgive the small offenses.

Refuse to return sarcasm with sarcasm and hostility with hostility.

Because the Christian calling is not simply to be loving when “it really matters.”

It is to be loving because Christ lives in us.

Jesus said:

“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” — John 13:35

The world should see Christ not only in how we respond to life’s greatest tragedies, but in how we behave on an ordinary Tuesday afternoon.

Love in the big things.

Love in the little things.

Grace in the big things.

Grace in the little things.

Mercy in the big things.

Mercy in the little things.

Because there are no insignificant moments when we are called to represent Jesus Christ.

“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14

That is the Christian life: not occasional goodness, but a life increasingly shaped by the character of Christ.

Daily Devotional.
Be kind and tenderhearted.

Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32

Let the tenderness and mercy that Jesus has revealed in His own precious life be an example to us of the manner in which we should treat our fellow beings.... Many have fainted and become discouraged in the great struggle of life, whom one word of kindly cheer and courage would have strengthened to overcome.... We cannot tell how far reaching may be our tender words of kindness, our Christ-like efforts to lighten some burden. The erring can be restored in no other way than in the spirit of meekness, gentleness, and tender love.

In all your transactions with your fellow men never forget that you are dealing with God’s property. Be kind; be pitiful; be courteous. Respect God’s purchased possession. Treat one another with tenderness and courtesy.

If you have enmity, suspicion, envy, and jealousy in your hearts, you have a work to do to make these things right. Confess your sins; come into harmony with your brethren. Speak well of them. Throw out no unfavorable hints, no suggestions that will awaken distrust in the minds of others. Guard their reputation as sacredly as you would have them guard yours; love them as you would be loved of Jesus.

The grace of God leads men to place themselves in all their business transactions in the place of those with whom they are dealing. It leads men to look not only on their own things but also on the things of others. It leads them to reveal tenderness, sympathy, and kindness. Cherishing a right spirit, living a holy life—this is what being Christlike means....

Let your life be controlled by the wide, generous principles of the Bible, the principles of good will, kindness, and courtesy. [236]

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.—Ephesians 4:32

Daily Devotional.
Work for the needy.

And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. Matthew 9:35

What a busy life Christ led! Day by day He might be seen entering the humble abodes of want and sorrow, speaking hope to the downcast and peace to the distressed. The poor and suffering received the greatest share of His attention. Children loved Him. They were drawn to Him by His ready sympathy. By His simple, loving words He settled many a difficulty arising among them. Often He took them on His knee and talked with them in a way that won their hearts....

Humble, gracious, tenderhearted, pitiful, He went about doing good, feeding the hungry, lifting up the bowed down, comforting the sorrowing. None who came to Him for aid went away unrelieved. Not a thread of selfishness was woven into the pattern He has left for His children to follow. He lived the life that He would have all live who believe on Him. It was His meat and drink to do the will of His Father. To all who came to Him for help He brought faith and hope and life. Wherever He went He carried blessing.

The tender sympathies of our Saviour were aroused for fallen and suffering humanity. If you would be His followers, you must cultivate compassion and sympathy. Indifference to human woes must give place to lively interest in the sufferings of others. The widow, the orphan, the sick and the dying, will always need help. Here is an opportunity to proclaim the gospel—to hold up Jesus, the hope and consolation of all men. When the suffering body has been relieved, and you have shown a lively interest in the afflicted, the heart is opened, and you can pour in the heavenly balm. If you are looking to Jesus, and drawing from Him knowledge and strength and grace, you can impart His consolation to others, because the Comforter is with you. Fredy Afito
