 'I am come a Light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness' (John 12:46).

Jesus identified himself from the very beginning of His ministry as the true Light of the world, the One who gives light to all man who comes into the world. He is God's guiding Light that expels all darkness, and open the eyes of man to the truth of His word and to direct man's steps into the path of peace, unto salvation. When man sin, darkness fell upon the fallen world. We were in need of a Saviour to bring  light and truth into our hearts. God sent Jesus to remove that darkness with His true light, which would reveal the gospel of His grace. Without Christ, we would be in utter darkness and  separated from God forever. Jesus the Light of the world make it possible for us to be reconciled to God. He being the Light of the world, give us the opportunity to walk in His light, as we believe on Him. We are instructed as believers, to walk in His light as Christ is in the light, and is given the privilege be the  salt of the earth and the light of the world, as we look to Christ. Christ the Light of the world, has shone his light into our hearts so we may have a knowledge of the glory of God.  As God's children we are called to walk in the light of His love, by the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells in us. Christ, the Light of the world, came to lead His people into all truth and to save us from the bondage of sin. Jesus again reiterated His purpose as He came to the end of his last public address, prior to His resurrection, "I am come a Light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness." Let us therefore allow Jesus to dispel darkness from our hearts and fill us with His light. Let us thank God, for sending Jesus to be that light for us; to enlighten our hearts and enrich our souls and for guiding us into His truth. We ought to trust and believe, so we turn not away from the only means of our salvation - Jesus the Light  and  Saviour of the world.

Have a wonderful day🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
