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,

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 of...

AVOID CONDEMNATION: Stop Impersonating

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: “ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness .” – Romans 1: 18 Scripture References: Matthew 7: 21 - 23; John 1: 12 – 13, 3: 1 - 7; Acts 19: 1 – 6, 11 – 20; Romans 1: 18 – 32; 2 Corinthians 13: 4 - 10 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Our God is good and gracious towards us in that He has hidden nothing about Himself from us. Everything we need to know about Him; Who He is, what He did in the past, what He plans to do in the future, how He thinks, His dispositions to various issues and so on, He has revealed to us in His Word, the Holy Bible, and we know His Word is TRUE. The Holy Spirit mentioned on Wednesday that many Christians live on the assumption that they are born-ag...

BEWARE OF BALAAM'S DOCTRINE

Anchor Scripture: “. . . Verily when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.” – 1 Corinthians 9: 18 Scripture References: Numbers 22: 1 – 7; 1 Corinthians 9: 1 –27; Matthew 10: 7 - 8 The Balaam’s doctrine is it that encourages children of God to do the work of God for carnal rewards. And the children of God caught up in the web of Balaam’s doctrine are those who preach the Gospel of Christ for one reward or the other. Such “servants of God” use a lot of scriptures to spiritualize and legalize their collections of material and carnal rewards from the congregation. However, we thank God for servants of God like Apostle Paul, who really followed the teachings of our Lord, Jesus Christ, in that he refused to abuse the authority he had over his congregations by which he could have become rich and wealthy as many of our ministers today, for Jesus Christ commanded in Matthew 10: 7 - 8 thus: “ And as ye go, pre...
