THE LIGHT OF LIFE

“I am under vows to you, my God;
    I will present my thank offerings to you.
For you have delivered me from death
    and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
    in the light of life.”

Psalm 56:12-13

King David knew the purpose for which God had saved and rescued him. That is why he never forgot the Light when he came out of darkness.

 

When you do not appreciate life, you cannot appreciate its Creator. When you do not know you have been rescued from darkness, you cannot truly value the light. Ask Apostle Paul and he will tell you in Ephesians 5:8, “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.” No matter how dark your situation may seem right now, if we focus on Jesus and His Word, His light will illuminate our soul.

 

Sometimes the beauty of life is hidden in the dark ; it is already there for those who discover it in the light of revelation.

 

Are you walking before God in the light of life? Take a moment to ask yourself this question. Because that is the reason for your blessing, your healing, your deliverance, your salvation.

It is true that this world is not our home; we are just passing through but on our journey, we are not here to get used to darkness but to shine as light.

 

GOD FIRST

18 April 2024

“Let’s take a lesson from David who was ready to be humiliated in his own eyes, so that God could be honoured. Ask yourself: Where does honouring God appear in your list of priorities? Do you thank Him for all that He has done in your life, all the way long? While men look at the outside, God looks at the motives of the heart. Instead of worrying about the opinion of others concerning you, let the motive of your heart each day be to honour God before yourself.”

THE SACRIFICE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

6 April 2024

“There is no time to do what is right. We must set our heart to obey the Word of God, all the time. God’s kind of lifestyle calls us to do what is right in the sight of God at all times, even though it is contrary to what we naturally want to do. Choosing to do what is right is a great test to the flesh.

What is the sacrifice of righteousness? Choosing to do God’s will rather than our own. When our flesh says hate, God says love. It takes sacrificial love to love your enemy and to pray for them. These are the weapons of righteousness. This is the sacrifice that Jesus looks at and rewards. Even though that might not be a grand, or outward sacrifice, it is what Jesus values.”

LIFE ANEW

1 April 2024

“When we talk of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we are talking of the rare opportunity He has given to all believers to experience a new beginning – a situation in which every dead area of our lives receives life anew.

We are dead to our past and alive to our future. Sin’s power over us is broken and we now put on Christ’s new life: we live in Him, move in Him and have our being in Him. Herein lies the significance of resurrection.”
