GOD, MY GUIDE

  “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world – Philippians 2:15.” Christ Jesus gave us an example by making it known to us that Hs is the light of the world – “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world – Jn. 9:5.” By Him we can know what is expected of light. Jesus is our perfect example for light. Thereafter, in His sermon on the mount, He taught the disciples to know – “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid – Mat. 5:14.” We may begin to ask the function of light and the purpose it serves. Before we continue, let’s examine one or two points. We are told that God is light – 1Jn. 1:5. Jesus makes it known to us that He is light. This assertion is valid because we are sure that He is the word of God and God had commanded light to shine out of darkness. With this understanding, Christ also told us that we (the ...

  “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us – 2Coritnhians 1:20.” God is the Possessor of the Heaven and the Earth. The implication of this is that He has and owns everything. There is nothing too much or too strong for Him. There is no position so high that is not below the foot of God. What we must know is that there is nothing too much for God to do or give. This makes Him special and possibility specialist. He is not a liar. When He speaks, it is done. This is where we need to give earnest heed to those things which are revealed to us by and in His word. There is nothing too difficult for Him to do. Has He promised you? Most assuredly, He will do it. The Promise-Giver has the answer to all things. You have no need to be afraid about the fulfilment of the promise. There is no need to fret or feel embarrassed as to think it will not come to pass. The writer of Proverbs says – “ The preparations of the heart in man, and the ans...

AS IT IS WRITTEN Pilate answered, What I have written I have written – John 19:22. Here is a man whom we could call a judge in his days because he occupied such position in his province before whom the people of the land came to hear their judgement. We know he was in authority during the trial of Jesus Christ when the Lord responded to one of his questions saying “ …Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above… - John 19: 11.” Let us leave much speaking about the background today and move on to the subject of the matter. The reason for this text is to draw comparison howbeit in a very minute sense with God. We have here a man who wrote something and the people demanded or requested, so to say, that it should be changed to which he replied them “ …what I have written, I have written .” He said it in such a way, manner and tone as if to tell them , “I cannot undo what I have done” or “I cannot change what I have written”. If this be true in the cas...
