ILLUMINATION

   When darkness covers a place, the only thing that reveals the things in it is LIGHT. It makes things more visible. The extent to which we see is due to the Strength of light that is shone on what must be seen.
   As children of God, we are commanded to arise and shine because our LIGHT has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon us (Isaiah 60:1). It's obvious that nothing can shine without a light - not even man.
    When God wanted to start creation, the first thing that came to existence was light (Genesis 1:3). THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD did a survey, then THE WORD came and after which LIGHT appeared. When light came, all other creations came forth. Without light, nothing can be done.
    In the new creation, the first thing needed is light that comes from the word (John 1:4). It reveals the person to the fact that he's a sinner that needs Jesus Christ (who died for his/her sins) and must come to the SAVING KNOWLEDGE of Christ to UNDERSTAND what the Kingdom of God is about. But all this can be done through the help of the holy spirit who prompts and help the person to believe in those words by faith.
   Though salvation and some other things are important, but none of them can give light like the word does (psalm 119:130). OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE WORD OF GOD who is the WAY that leads to the father and the life that every believer lives.
    Only FAITH in the word of God can bring enlightenment (your belief makes things real). There is a greater light to press into every time, but they require a higher level of faith through the help of the HOLY SPIRIT. Accept Jesus Christ today by faith and you will experience illumination from above in all areas of life in Jesus name. Amen! SHALOM!!!

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

Beyond the natural laws

    Laws are laid down principles to help people to walk in certain directions. It is structured, firm, and sometimes rigid. Laws are expected to always follow the same pattern and anyone found doing differently will be accused and penalized. The scribes and Pharisees were always angry at the ways and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ because he wasn't doing the same as them yet have mind-blowing impacts better than theirs. He taught, people listened and yielded, but they force people to do it their own way (Mark 6:1-3).    They are ignorant that even though we have one big God, He is diverse in his ways and acts. No wonder people find it difficult to believe in the ways and characters of a child of God. It is a life led by the wind of God's Spirit because it's beyond the normal laws they believe in. Natural laws are principles generally accepted by people and passed down from one generation to another. We are Christians. We operate in the supernatural ...

Fear in the Process

There is an African proverb that says, "the demon you've known for a while is better than the angel you just met". As weird as this sounds, many people consciously or unconsciously act it out. This shows the hardness of people's hearts towards change. Change is constant, but it can be a very weird process and experience. The Israelites desired to go back to Egypt and continue the life of slavery and pain that they were used to than to be in the wilderness and uncertain of what the promised land looked like. Yours might not be as dramatic as the Exodus. It could be the Lord telling to you take steps about your finances by saving and sowing. Or leaving the life that is not accurate with the word and plan of God for your life. It could be for you to stop saying to yourself and others, "That's who I am and I can't change." Our change experiences are different. You know what the Lord is addressing in your life. And it may have raised questions of doubt li...
