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!!!

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

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...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
