Seek the Light


Anchor Scripture: “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8: 12

Further Reading: Psalm 34; 10; Proverbs 28: 5; Amos 5: 6a; John 15: 1 – 7; Acts 17: 27; Ephesians 6: 10 – 13;

Admonition 
The importance of light to man cannot be overemphasized. That is the reason that even God Himself had to call out “the Light” before any work of creation could be done (Genesis 1: 1 - 4). Darkness is inimical to a normal living life because it hampers and destroys.

The Bible makes it clear that the whole world lies in wickedness (1 John 5: 19) which is a manifestation of the power of darkness (Ephesians 6: 10). It is a known fact that the only antidote to darkness is light. That is the reason the Bible says clearly that the light was made manifest was to destroy the works of darkness (1 John 3: 8).

Unfortunately, it is not everyone in the church, and by extension, the world today, that has light with which they could overcome the darkness surrounding them. There are many, even in the church that still walks in darkness, even though they don’t do the works of darkness. Unfortunate still is the fact that not doing the works of darkness does not exonerate anyone who walks in darkness because they don’t have light.

In our anchor Scripture today, Jesus Christ declares Himself as the light of the world (and His testimony is TRUE) that is capable of dispelling the darkness in the world. Therefore, everyone that wants to FINISH STRONG MUST ESSENTIALLY HAVE THE LIGHT. If anyone does not have the Light, they are bound to fall by the wayside. Such are the ones who started well but ended poorly. A good example is Samson in the Bible. I pray that will not be your portion in Jesus' name, amen.
Please, if you have not Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour yet, you are yet to have the Light. Seek Him. You will find Him. May the Lord help us all in Jesus name, amen.

Till tomorrow when we shall meet again on this beautiful journey of FINISHING STRONG together, keep keeping on in Him!

Yours in Him,

Hold On To Your Faith

Anchor Scripture: “ Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him:” – Job 13: 15a Scripture References: Job 23: 8 – 12 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Another word for faith is TRUST. So, this morning, God is calling us to trust Him whatever our situations might be. The natural man will instinctually try as hard as possible to avoid pains and discomforts. However, the book of Job 5: 7 speaks a truth that is a common heritage of all humans. It says, “ Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.” And Job 14: 1 corroborates this truth, saying,  “ Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.” These are truth which no man has been able to disprove. Resting on these Scriptures, I do tell people during Bible classes that there is no man without his own trouble, no matter how little . And this is true irrespective of whom you are, what you have and or where you were born; we all have our own measures of troubles. The pro

UNDERSTANDING THE WILL OF GOD: Lean Not On Your Own Understanding

Anchor Scripture: Isaiah 55:8   For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.”   Focus Scripture: “ Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” – Proverbs 3: 5 Scripture Reference: Numbers 14: 39 - 45 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Yesterday, the Holy Spirit made known to us that what is called the Will of God is God’s plan or Wish for us as His children, and that these cannot be changed by anyone or anything if we stick with Him. Sometimes, we tend to believe in ourselves because of some things such as talents, ability, resources, knowledge and or wisdom. Because of these things and many more, we take decisions without honouring God in our thoughts. At the end, God makes a mess of whatever venture we embarked on. Such was the Israelites in Numbers 14: 39 - 45. As said yesterday, just as each man has a thought or will for themselves, so is God for every man.

AVOID CONDEMNATION: Walk in the Spirit

Anchor Scripture: Romans 8: 1 “ There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”  Focus Scripture: “ This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. ” –Galatians 5: 16 Scripture References: John 3: 1 – 8, 16 - 19; Romans 1: 18 – 32, 1 – 14; Galatians 5: 16 – 26; 1 John 2: 15 - 17 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Yesterday, the Holy Spirit of God admonished us to watch the companies we keep because our association with them could make us do things that are contrary to the Kingdom’s choice. And an example was given of Jehoshaphat. May God help us in Jesus name, amen. Today, we are being told to “Walk in the Spirit”. The Holy Spirit was given to us as Guardian to help and keep us in and on the way to the Kingdom. The Holy Spirit is a teacher, meant to teach us right from wrong and He helps us in making the right choices. Most often,
