GOD, MY GUIDE

  “But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light – Ephesians 5:13.” Light was the first thing God commanded into being in the beginning of creation. If we are indeed children of our Father in heaven, the first thing we must be sure of before proceeding to do anything worth doing is light. We must be fully persuaded that there must be light. This is what we must seek; and we shall have. Without light, the state of all things will still follow the pattern as they were in the beginning – empty, void and without form. It is wise for us not to begin anything unless light is available. Why should we stumble on the way? "But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him - Jn. 11:10." One of the functions of the lights (the greater and the lesser) in the scripture is to be a sign for differentiating times and seasons. However, such light needs the presence of darkness to an extent to make t...

  “Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land – Exodus 1:10.” In the book of James, the Lord made it known to us in the scriptures that there four kinds of wisdom, namely: devilish, sensual, earthly and that which is from above. “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish – James 3:15.” With this it should be settled in our heart that there seems to be diverse kinds of wisdom in this world. It is important to know the true wisdom. We must exercise our heart in Spirit to know what kind of wisdom is in operation. What the world calls wisdom is different from what God calls wisdom. Remember, Jesus Christ once said – “…for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light – Luke 16:8.” This is not to commend the world or the generation therein to mean the...

  “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 ...

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...
