SHARE THE LIGHT

    There is love in sharing. This saying is true, a man can't decide in his heart to give out a part of his possessions, except if he had encountered the spirit of the one who first partook in the act of sharing- GOD.
    The human nature is addicted to many things. It always want everything for its pleasure, without looking at those people who lack around them. It helps the person to see the reason to acquire more. It is selfish and never satisfied (Ecclesiastes 5:10).
    Some business people refuse to have a partner because they do not want to share their profit with anyone. They can't just see or say anything good about partnership. They want to stalk up wealth for "their own" enjoyment just like the rich fool in Luke 12:16-21, little do they know that God owns the earth and the fullness thereof (Psalms 24:1) and He gives to His children- those that believe in His Son(Christ Jesus).
    We have believed in many wrong principles and ways instead of the way, truth, and life. Our Faith in Him helps us in receiving the Father's gift - the Holy Spirit. This gift helps us to be more like Him.
   Christ Jesus is THE LIGHT(John 1:4-5). Our faith in Him makes us also the light of the world(Matthew 5:16). We are to represent Him as Light. When electric bulbs(Christians) are connected with wires(the Holy Spirit) to the source( Christ Jesus), there is going to be illumination and it will cause people to see clearly- this is who we are. We are Christ and His kingdom's ambassadors.
   The part of selfishness is taken away because we realize that we are saved by grace and others must also be a partaker of the privilege. The spirit in us always wants the light we receive to shine(Isaiah 60:1) that others will see thee works of the father and glorify Him by surrendering their lives to Him too.
    We are saved to serve, not to become slaves to the world but partners to God in the harvesting of souls(Matthew 9:37-38). The kingdom of God can be populated when the citizens take it upon themselves to share their light in speech, character, thoughts, and relationships with others.
    Let's take time to evangelize and bring men to the saving knowledge of Christ. We can't lose our reward(Revelations 22:12) because God is faithful and He will do His work with/without us, He only wants is to be a channel(1thessalonians 5:24). Are you willing to share the light? Ask God for grace and he will give it to you. 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...
