Are you a LIGHT?

   "The light shines in the darkness, and the             darkness can never extinguish it"

John 1:5

The bible says we are the light of the world in Mathew 5:14. We are the light of the world not because of how fair we are, the clothes we wear or how intelligent we are. It is the light that comes from knowing Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and saviour, the light that comes from living a holy life, loving each other truly with the love of God that does not bear grudges or think evil about another.
Darkness in this context is all about hatred, gossip, backbitin, slander, unforgiveness, lording it over others etc. When this darkness reside in you, it can only be dispelled not by flourescent bulbs or flood lights but by the presence of the true light Jesus Christ. He can alone can take away the darkness from our lives and ensures that electricity remains constant and there is no blackouts!
When you have the light in you, you have no choice but to do good and when you do good you will be rewarded just as it is written in Proverbs 14:14b "---good people recieve their reward." Do want a good reward?

Our Children!

Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

Ephesians 6:4(NIV)

This instructions is not just for fathers but also for mothers too. We are commanded to bring our children up in the knowledge of God. It means to teach them what is right and what is wrong, acceptable behaviours and unacceptable ones. It includes loving them and making the right knowledge that will guide their decisons when your are not there available to them.
As stories of children being sexually molested is on the rise, parents should wake upto their responsibilities of taking care of the children God has given them. I had the opportunity of listening to a teaching of a minister involved in children ministry and the stories i heard was so heart breaking! I learnt a lot from that presentation and i also understood that basically the problems start from us parents. We are swamped with so much to do and in the midst of it we forget our primary assignment which is to take care of this children, teach them, love them and guide them.
I will proffer the same advice we were given in program, show love to your children, be their friend and don't ever think your presence can be replaced by your presents!!!
God help us do our part and our best as parents in Jesus name!

YOU are living!

    

 "So he is the God of the living, not the dead, for they are all alive to him"                

 #Luke 20:38#

When you have a living God, nothing can be dead in your life. When you are sick, that is death to your health, when you are in lack that is death to your finances. It is written that our God is the God of the living not of the dead.
It can be so difficult to see your good health when you are down in sickness but it is very very possible because we have a God of impossibilities! Luke 1:37- For nothing is impossible with God! Believe you have a living God as your God and worry over any situation you find yourslf will not arise.
God of the living will avail you in your family, marriage, ministry and career in Jesus name!

Complete in Christ!

Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4

Find Your Completion In Christ

Many people are in financial debt today because they are trying to find their security, identity and esteem in material things, instead of in Christ. So they end up buying things that they don’t need to impress people who really don’t care!

This erroneous mindset leads to the destructive habit of folks spending beyond their means, making only partial payments on their monthly credit card bills, and overextending themselves with mortgages they cannot afford and car loans they cannot service. Then, they end up asking God why there is no provision for their debts.

Beloved, being caught in this destructive habit and debt cycle is not God’s heart for His precious children. Let’s understand that having more things doesn’t complete us. Only Jesus can fill that vacuum. So find your security and completion in Christ. You have a treasure in you, One far more precious than anything money can buy. Anchor your security and identity in Jesus and delight yourself in Him alone!

Awesome God!

When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Matthew 8:1–3

Beyond All Expectations

When the Lord blesses you, He blesses you beyond what you expect. In the healing of the leper, Jesus reached out and touched the leper, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately, the man was healed.

Did you notice that Jesus touched the leper first before He healed him? I love these little gestures of Jesus! That simple touch restored a sense of humanity and dignity to the man who had not been touched for a long time. Because of his unclean and physically repulsive condition, no one wanted to be close to him, much less touch him.

Jesus knew that the leper needed more than just physical healing, so He gave above and beyond what the leper had hoped for. Beloved, that’s the love and over-supplying grace of your Savior! What is your lack today? As you meditate on the largeness of His grace toward you, know beyond any doubt that Jesus’ provision will exceed all your expectations! (excerpt from Joseph Prince).

Hand it to God!

The word of God says with God all things are possible! it is so true. when u invite God into everything that you do, he will take care of you and all that bothers you no matter how small.
 If your child stammers, hand it over to God and believe that the child speaks well and it will happen because it written that at the mention of Jesus name every knee shall bow and every tongue shall proclaim that he is Lord. As long as your situation has a name then the name of Jesus will supersede it.
Our faith is very important to change situation that are disheartening to us and that is why he said to the centurion in Mathew 8:13 "And Jesus said unto the centurion, go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee----------". It is the same for us children of God today and forever because our God changeth not and his words remaineth true. I believe! Do you believe?

ASKING!

Luke 10:13 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him (NLT)

We are encouraged to continue to ask God for that thing which we need and not to relent because he is a loving Father who will never fail us. He said in the book of Jeremiah 29:11 "For i know the plans i have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. That means that when we ask for good things, we should believe he wants us to have it and have faith that we would recieve it.
Do you want your children to excel in their studies? Do you want your husband to be favoured? God wants us to ask unceasingly and never fear that he wouldn't answer. Jeremiah 29:12 "In those days when you pray, i will listen". Believe God's words.

AUTHORITY!

  Luke 10:19 Behold, i give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

*******

The authority exists in us when we give our life to Christ to handle situations that we come across daily in our families, career and business. This authority also works over our health if we believe. We need to believe we own this authority for it to work for us over our health, family, ministry, finances infact our entire life.
I exercised this authority over my health oce but i doubted and my healing didn't come just as we are warned in the book of James not to doubt when asking from God unless we won't recieve. It happened to me! When i decided to exercise it believing i that was diagonsed to have arthritis recieved my full healing!!!!!. It can happen for you over your family, marriage, business, job, ministry and finances etc.
Recieve the authority, it is yours to use when you accept Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour!

Be Generous!

Proverbs 11:25- The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.

God has promised us continuos refreshment when we touch the lives of others. We can refresh others by praying for them, helping them physically by providing what we can for others to alleviate their need, pain or lack.
we need to refresh others in our community, churches and families as this can lead souls to God and make them to offer refreshment to others when they themselves have been refreshed.
Be generous in prayers, helping and giving and as God has promised he will definitely refresh us because he has promised and he never lies.
