You are the light of the world

Matthew 5:14 tells us that we are the light of the world! As believers, we are called to be the leading light in the world, not those who do not know Christ. We cannot afford to shy away from leadership calling and responsibilities. If we continue to do so, we will keep ourselves in the background in the world and continue suffering at the hands of those who do not acknowledge God, and this will negatively affect our lives, families, and the church.

We are the light of the world and not the light of the church and our leadership domain of influence and impact is not in the church, but in the world, in the communities, nations, and all places where we find ourselves. We should not hide our light wherever and whenever we see that things are wrong or when see the presence or the works of darkness around us. 

If we have a clear vision of God's plan and have developed our leadership potential, we should put ourselves forth to lead. We should not wait to be called upon wherever we discover a leadership vacuum. 

We should not shy away from leadership responsibilities. God has chosen us by His grace to lead and we should not excuse ourselves from that calling. We should allow people to always benefit from the grace of God in our lives and should not deny them the timely help that they need. 

Whenever we are called upon to lead, we should accept the calling even if we feel unqualified. When we accept the responsibility, God will give us the grace to do it and His glory will be made manifest through us.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
