Be the light!

 John 1:5

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

The only think that can get rid of darkness is the light. When light is brought in, darkness has no power but to obey and disappear. Just like in the book of Genesis, in the beginning, when God pronounced that let there be light, and there was, darkness was dispelled. Truth is, we cannot stay in the dark, it is too dangerous and life comes to a standstill. Which is why light is needed. 


Now the bible in the book of  Matthew 5:13-16, we are told that we are salt and light of the earth. Meaning, God has put His light in you so that wherever you may be, you may shine His light so that people don't find themselves in the darkness. Which is why God wants you to be you, not to hide who you are and pretend to be someone else. The way He designed you, is the way He needs you to be and be His light to His children. This light can be displayed through your words (positive and encouraging), your acts, your victories, the way you use your gifts and talents and so much more. These bring light and hope to those that are still in the dark. Our lives are used to bring honour and glory to God, in order for more people to be directed to Him, to find salvation for themselves.

So, don't force anything, just be you. God takes care of the rest and He shows His presence through you in His way and timing. But be intentional to be constructive, bring hope and be encouraging (instead of the opposite). Already a lot of people have lost hope as a result of the acts of the devil, hence the world needs more positivity and most definitely, light!

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
