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!

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...
