Be Connected

Many times I recall the nights when we had power black outs as part of an energy saving tactics by the electricity company when growing up. Looking at life while meditating today I realised that many times in life we are not lit up as the power source is disconnected. Ever tried lighting a bulb when the mains are not connected? Many people's lives today are light bulbs that are not connected to the right source and so they flicker in the light they give.

Jesus said that we are the light of this world in the greatest sermon ever preached Matthew 5:14. Light is so crucial that when creation began the first thing God did was decree light Genesis 1:3. In today's world light is important. Imagine working in darkness, or driving in the dark without lights. The result will be death. That's what happens when life is lived without being connected to the power source. God has made us in such a way that we can only give His light when we are connected to Him. Being connected to Him is vital and important if we are to be the light in this world. 

Many factors can disrupt the power supply: sin-including that weakness, fear, a mindset that does not embrace God's truth as the standard for living and walking in truth and not a lie. You cannot be living life if you are not lit by the power source. The devil is interested in us so much that he recognises that light is important that he masquerades as the angel of light( 2 Corinthians 11:14) giving false hope; deluding many that they are living well when in fact they are not connected to the true power source, The Light of this World Jesus Christ. 

Make every effort to remain connected. Don't assume that just because you think you are connected you will remain connected. Make every effort to delight in God always, be faithful to Him and He will light your ways Job 22:23-28. Connect with people who cause you to be lit up in life and not those who draw you away from the power source. One thing I have realised is that the enemy's lie is only temporarily sweet and God's light is eternal. Choose eternity and be a light for a lie will soon be dim and it will be obvious to all that your light was a lie leaving you empty in life.

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...
