Following the Light of Life

Following the Light of Life


"Then spake Jesus Christ again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." John 8:12 KJV


Jesus Christ alone is the true light and guide of His followers in a world filled with darkness. As believers, we are not meant to be led by our physical senses, circumstances, or the opinions of people, but by the Spirit of God.


Darkness represents confusion, evil, loss, and destruction. Therefore, those who truly follow Christ should not live as victims of these things. As we walk with Him, the Lord reveals the plans of the enemy and exposes traps set against us. Our responsibility is to heed His warnings and instructions so that we do not fall into the devil’s schemes.


A person may be born again and loved by God, yet still be led astray if they do not allow Christ to guide their decisions. The flesh is always impatient and pushes us to act quickly, but we must not allow it to lead us into what God has not permitted. Those who truly follow Christ understand that they belong to Him and therefore desire His direction in all they do.


Many people fall into deception because of desperation for quick money, fame, or profit. The enemies of our souls often target believers who seek instant success without diligence, patience, and honest work. Do not act out of desperation. What God has ordained for you will not pass you by.


If God does not permit something, do not venture into it—even if others are doing it. The leading of God comes by His Spirit, and whatever He does not lead you to do, His presence will not accompany to bless. The presence of God is the true catalyst for blessing, success, and profit.


Not every voice is the voice of God. The enemy also seeks to mislead people, even during prayer. Therefore, never be in a hurry to respond to every impression or voice. Test everything with the Scriptures, for God will never speak contrary to His Word.


The world is full of deceptive schemes promising quick and effortless profit. Be careful not to fall into such traps. Whatever God has not given you, do not force your way to obtain it.


If the Lord is truly your Shepherd, you will rest in His leading. The leadership of Jesus Christ brings true life, peace, joy, profit, and fulfilment—not sorrow.

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...
