Delight

By -

Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past and the true light now shining – 1 John 2 vs 8.

As believers, we are in Christ -New creatures, and old things are gone for good. Yes, we are the children of God, the true light is now shining let us also shine as light. Shining as light not under a bushel, not in your closet; afraid of what they might say, what could happen if I do as I ought to be doing as light.

See,  walking as light is an evidence of our relationship and  fellowship with Him, and this should be our DELIGHT. A delight that changes and turn men around, making an encounter with you an encounter with God

For example, look at Daniel who was a statesman in Babylon -amidst the idol worshippers and blabbers, ferocious fire, corrupt statesmen and a pit with lions- having trust in God and standing by what he believed, he made the king give Glory to Our God.

Look at Naomi, Ruth had an encounter with her and this led to her place in the genealogy of Christ.

Look at Abraham, through him Lot had a footprint in history.

And Look at Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith through whom we were  redeemed, and our lives are (being)  changed.

As light we ought to repel the darkness.
You are the light of the world, a city set upon a hill, which means you are always visible for who you are in Christ,nobody is hidden from you and you are not hidden from others, but always being looked up to. Setting a standard as a person of influence. (Romans 13 vs 12-14)

In faith, we can accomplish great things that glorify God. So in your meeting  with people, Love them (which is the New Commandment),  help and comfort them.

Thank God for His Spirit within us that helps and teaches us especially in the Love department and shining as light starting from our home to our neighbourhood and then to the world. You are the vessel of change in your community, and you can be a channel of encounter, a medium to one’s transformation

Let us delight in being light that shows the path and brings enlightenment, encouragement and comfort to others as they in turn glorify God.

FAITH

By -
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.     Faith plays a significant role in our walk with God and the fulfillment of our destinies. This is so 'cos without faith, God's promises have no solid basis or foundation in our lives. Also, without faith in God, our will can't revolve around God's, and without this, it'll be impossible for our minds to have even a tiny conception of God's eternal glory and His will. Romans 10:17 says "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." And as we know, our mind processes information that comes through our ears. So unless our minds are(being) renewed to the mind of Christ, though the words come in, through our ears, they'll just sound like ordinary words. This is so because the sin nature is blocking the entrance of the words of faith. From this, you see that the result of what comes in through your ears depends on the level to which your mind has...

LIVING AT PEACE

By -
   In my 2nd article, I wrote "your definition of peace shouldn't necessarily be that no trials or harm would come your way, but having an assurance that no matter what comes your way, God will always be there to see you through. I know that at this point in time, living a life filled with peace is not that easy due to the economic crisis, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, increase in  all sorts of crime and other things like that. But as true believers that shouldn't bother us, because God said in Psalm 91, summarizing, that "we will live a long and peaceful life"  so it's up to us to believe it. Living a peaceful life isn't something that's gonna happen automatically when we get born-again, we have to pray for it daily, without ceasing because the evil, being the ruler of this world, constantly has his eyes on true believers because they are a threat to his kingdom. And because the devil knows that...   1John 4:4  ...greater is HE that is...

Don't Awaken Love

"Don't awaken Love until it pleases" Three times was this statement made in the book of Songs of Solomon (SOS 2:7, 3:5, 8:4) and I believe that statement needs to be echoed louder in this generation. Welcome to my generation where we want a quick fix,  instant noodles,  fast food,  even Fast and the furious- on a lighter note.  Although the rate of getting somethings done can be accelerated, this doesn't apply to Love. In other words,  Love needs time. Like a butterfly, Love is an organism that metamorphises on its own as the Creator fashioned it to be,  and it develops with Patience There's been an increase in the rate at which break-ups and divorce cases occur and I strongly believe it's tied to this simple reason, we awaken Love too early. See you can meet someone who's "God sent" but if you fan up the embers of Love too quickly, you'll end up doubting if the person was really "God sent" or the person was ...
