YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Topic: LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE
Biblical Text: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [Matthew 5:14]

Our light must shine in the world. It is not debatable because it has been written. God expects this from every believer. For our light to shine in the world, we must allow His Word to lighten our lives by producing fruits of the Spirit- love, joy, peace, temperance, meekness, faith, long suffering, goodness and gentleness. The outward expression of these fruits of the Spirit makes us a sign and a wonder in the world which helps us to produce fruits in the lives of others. At the Island of Melita, Apostle Paul was gathering sticks to put in the fire when suddenly a poisonous viper fastened on his hands. When the people saw the venomous beast hang on his hands, they expected him to fall and die. Rather, Apostle Paul shook off the snake into the fire and felt no harm. After, the people observed that Paul did not die or become swollen as a result of being bitten by the snake; they changed their minds and said he was a god! His light shone; they brought all that were diseased on the Island and he healed them all. Paul was a light among the people of Melita. Many of those on the Island believed God for what they saw Paul did. Under the program of heaven, your light is destined to shine in this dark world. Your light must shine anywhere you are found; in the School, at work and in any area of your life, people must see the light of God shining through all that you do. Do not settle for less.

KNOW IT ∞ I are a light to the world, destined to shine anywhere you go.
READ IT ∞ Isaiah 9:8, 60:1, Acts 28:3-9
PRAY IT ∞ Father, thank you for making me a light in the world in Jesus Name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ Leviticus 20-23

THE VALUE OF A PLAN

Date: 13.04.2021

Topic: THE VALUE OF A PLAN
Biblical Text: ‘ For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first and counteth the cost whether he have sufficient to finish it’. [Luke 14:28]

Three fishes lived in a pond namely, plan ahead, think fast and wait & see. When the fisherman came the next day to cast his net, plan ahead and think fast found a way to escape; only wait & see ended up in the fishing market!
A plan is a set of intended actions usually mutually related through which one intends to achieve a goal, Every worthwhile goal begins with a plan. A wise man remarked, ‘if we fail to plan, we plan to fail’. Planning helps us to organize our efforts in such a way as to produce results. Our God is a master planner. He gave Moses the complete plan of the temple to be built including the dimensions to be used; the colour and design of the cloth of the priest of God. Also, God did not just send Noah to build an ark, he gave him the right design and the dimensions to use. God executed the fall of the wall of Jericho with a masterfully crafted plan that He gave to Joshua and the Israelites. Before the fall of the wall of Jericho, it was the strongest most fortified wall, but with a plan, it fell flat. Planning entails having a goal, forecasting and taking actions to achieve it. But planning without God will make one become like the rich fool stated in the Bible. A beautifully crafted plan without God can end up producing a futile result. Beloved, always plan with God.

KNOW IT ∞ Only lazy people do not plan; foolish people plan without God but wise people plan with God.
READ IT ∞ Luke 12:20, Proverbs 19:21, Joshua 6:1-27
PRAY IT ∞ Father, give me the wisdom to plan with you so as to produce extraordinary results in Jesus Name.

NEVER EAT YOUR TOMORROW TODAY

Topic: NEVER EAT YOUR TOMORROW TODAY
Biblical Text: ‘ And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die, and what profit shall this birthright do to me’. [Genesis 25:32]

The first story of a man that ate his tomorrow in the Bible was Esau. Esau came home from a hunting expedition, faint and hungry. His younger brother had just finished preparing a delicious looking red pottage. Jacob said to Esau, ‘Sell your birthright today, then I will give you the pottage’. That day, Esau despised his birthright to Jacob and swore that he has sold his birthright to Jacob. He sold his birthright in order to eat the red pottage. He ate his tomorrow that day ! Years later, when he was to receive his fatherly blessing from Esau, Jacob cunningly obtained it, because he forgot he had already eaten the blessings the birthright would have brought to him (in the red pottage). Many youths today are eating their tomorrow today. They do not care what happens tomorrow or the consequences of their action today. They sleep with a woman or a man old enough to be their mother or father for money. They are eating their tomorrow already. Esau ate his tomorrow and when he got to the morrow; he suddenly found out that it was empty for him. He ate his tomorrow carelessly and foolishly. God has a glorious plan for you tomorrow, why lose it on the bed of immorality, wickedness, covetousness and sin. When counselling some people, you will discover their predicament arose because they already ate their tomorrow in their younger days. May we be wise not to eat our tomorrow today in Jesus Name.

KNOW IT ∞ Beware, do not eat your tomorrow today.
READ IT ∞ Genesis 25:29-34, Luke 15:12-32
PRAY IT ∞ Father, give me the wisdom not to eat my tomorrow today in Jesus Name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ 2 Chronicles 1-3
