Are you the light?

Matthew 5:14-16,Jesus in His teachings referred believers as being the light of the world.The world is full of darkness and so desperately it needs light coming  into this space.

Nobody wants to identify with darkness as it is associated with evil things and it’s during darkness that people commit things for they believe nobody would be able to see them.

However,Jesus introduces us to the opposite of darkness and that’s the light.During darkness,things are hidden and all sorts of evil is committed. The presence of light into a dark place,reveals all those things that are hidden and exposes them.

So Jesus called us as the light into a dark place(world).The reason why people put up light is to enable others see what is present without any fear of the unknown. Another great purpose of the light,is that once men see your light,and your good works,they will glorify God who resides in you.

Remember that all things must be centered on glorifying God and not man.God has already that He can’t share His glory with man for He is God.

So every morning when you wake up,the key question to ask yourself must always be

How do I become the light to the darkness around me?

How best can I express my light  and not hide it?

How can I continue to show my light through my good works?

Lastly, how do I make sure that my light remains and brings glory to God?

Walk and work while it’s daylight for days are coming and already are hear when people love darkness and can’t stand the light.So make sure that your light is seen well and not hidden for God wants to glorify Himself through and in you.

Lastly, make it your #1 priority on how you can serve others and glorify God while doing your part in bringing people back to God.

There is Still Hope!(Ezekiel 37:1-10)

We live in times that a lot of people have either lost hope or almost in the process of losing hope to live for tomorrow and the days ahead. This is because we face severe challenges, circumstances or situations that seem too complex and seem to defy logic. Many times as human beings, we want to figure out things by ourselves and the trajectory they are likely to take. But unfortunately that is not how they work in the spiritual realm.

The hand of the LORD came upon Ezekiel the prophet and the Spirit of the Lord set him down in the midst of the valley of the dry bones. And the Lord caused him to pass by them all and indeed they were very many and very dry. Asked by the Lord whether these bones could live, Ezekiel responded “O Lord God, You know”. How could you have responded if this question was posed to you? Maybe most likely by saying its impossible!

The Lord said to Ezekiel “Prophesy to these bones,and let them hear the word of the Lord”.Whose word do you use to speak to your dry things, circumstances in your life?.The Lord’s word was that “Surely,I will cause breath to enter into you.and you shall live,I will put sinews on you,will bring flesh upon you,cover you with skin and put breath in you,and you shall live “then you shall know that Iam the LORD.Understand friend that restoration,revival is a process and must not be confused with what many think and imagine that they can turn on and off God when they want to their demands met.God is a timing God and has an opportune time for everything.

So Ezekiel prophesied as commanded by the Lord and there was a noise and suddenly a rattling ,and the bones came together ,bone to bone. A valley that was full of very dry bones, suddenly there appeared to be some movement, hope and life as sinews, flesh and and skin covered the dry bones. Does this seem like revival, restoration time was here and what could you have done if it was you present?

The Lord said to Ezekiel, prophesy son of man to the breath, and say to the breath, thus says the Lord O, breath, Come from the four winds breath on these slain, that they may live. So as Ezekiel ,prophesied as commanded by the Lord, breath came into them ,they lived and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army. What could you have done after seeing all this and bearing in mind that it was initially a valley full of very dry bones?

Relevant lessons from this story;

-There is no situation, challenge, circumstance in your life that can defy God.

-God wants you to acknowledge that He is the one who knows the condition of every situation in your life.

-We are limited to what we know and must turn to God for help.

-God wants your participation in the revival, restoration process(He wants you to take the first step and then He takes up from there to end).

-Hope, restoration is a process that follows God’s laid down procedure(dry bones,sinews,flesh,skin,and finally breath)

-It is in our valleys that God starts the hope and restoration process.

-Our valleys,are God’s starting points to cause things happen in our lives.

-Without valleys, we can not acknowledge God’s divine power of restoration and hope.

-Turn every valley in your life, family, marriage, children, business, ministry to God and watch what the LORD is going to do to you.

HOPE IS REAL!!

Leave your battles to the Lord!

You know there are times in life you probably come across people who would want to let you know how much they dislike you,you can’t measure to their status,who feel that they are strong physically to deal with you or how they feel about your looks,background.If that happens to be you,its okay and you don’t have to beat yourself that you ain’t measuring to their standards or opinions.

There was a man in the book of 1 Samuel 17 by the name Goliath the Giant who kept taunting Israel day after day to choose a man to fight with him.By his constant taunts,Israel was greatly dismayed and afraid of him.A young herdsboy by the name David when he showed up on the scene,Goliath cursed him and even said how he was going to kill David and give his flesh to the birds of the air and animals.So how did David respond?

“You come to me with a sword,with a spear, and with a javelin.But i come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts,the God of the armies of Israel,whom you have defied“

The outcome was that David took his sling with one smooth stone and aimed it at Goliath’s forehead and released it and it hit him and down he went dead.So what happened with his scares,threats,tauntings,curses that he had spewed so much on Israel?He was gone because he had trusted in himself and with the weapons he had not knowing that the battles are fought by God and He can use any means to give victory to those who trust in Him faithfully.

Leave all your battles to Him,don’t fight for you won’t win BUT HE WINS if you let HIM do the work.
