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!!!

Lesson In All Things

Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...

The King Comes

Who is coming? Why is He coming? What is He coming to do? The major reason anyone would stand for anything is because they don't just know, but understand the purpose and mission of that thing.  Sometimes, I find out that I am carried away by activities that don't really matter to the reason why I joined a group or something in the first place. So, what I do to get myself back on track is that: I slow down and ask myself how I got where I am and why I started or made the decision in the first place. And by the grace of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, It works - I find my way back. As Christians, we have been taught so many things and have been involved in so many things(which are very good) that we sometimes lose track of why we are believers in the first place. It is good to serve God and to love others as ourselves, but we must also remember to go back to the cross. Not just to receive grace and strength to do His work, but to also serve as a reminder of t...

SAME GOD

   A song in Yoruba (Nigeria) says " the Lord is, as the time of old, but we don't worship God like old times " . This is very true. I always wonder why there was power in the early churches, but now, we hardly see the manifestations like the ones we read about the book of Acts of the Apostles?!    Some times ago I thought that Christianity was a joke passed down to generations. We have little people in the church performing miracles, what are the other members of the church doing? Are we just smiling at situations and circumstances and say God is in control when God has bestowed power to do on us and has made us gods (psalms 82)?    We are supposed to be armies pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) of the devil instead the church is held in captivity of the strong. The Great and Mighty God is always present but we don't seek Him for help. Where is the power of the church?! Haven't we lost it?    The fathers of old, the prophets, and t...
