WALKING IN THE GREATER LIGHT

“ Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, differenth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all. But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father. Even so we, when were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world ” (Gal. 4:1-3). When we become Christians, we are born again as babies in Christ. Even though we are babies, yet we are still heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:16-17). That means that everything that belongs to God is our inheritance. Now with this kind of inheritance we are not waiting for God to die before we come into possession. That’s because we are joint heirs with Christ. Jesus Christ the first born already owns everything that belongs to God (Jn. 16:15). We believers are his younger siblings (Jn. 20:17) and the Bible declares that we are Joint heirs with Him. That means the entire estate is as much our as it is Jesus’. Yet how many of us are actually appropriate even millionth of thi...

THE GREAT LIGHTS

The fact that someone prays in tongues does not necessarily mean he is spiritual, likewise a brother manifesting the gifts of the spirit does not denote that he is more spiritual. Many have in mind that the fact that they don’t speak in tongue, they don’t have the Holy Ghost in them. Not manifesting your spiritual gifting does not means God is cheating on you. It is good to have role models to ignite your spiritual growth, but that does not mean you are a fool. In fact, the books and sermons of our fellow Christians are there to make us spiritual giant on earth than them. They share their faith and revelations just to come to know Christ more. Why? Because Christianity is not selfish; our nature is to love, therefore we share. It is also true that we have matured Christians and immature Christians. Immature Christians are carnal, or body-ruled, Christians. Paul told the Corinthians, "For ye are yet carnal ..." (1 Cor. 3:3). One translation of this verse reads, "You are...

LET THERE BE LIGHT

No wonder sin escaped and all things become new, because the brightness of the glory of God is revealed in us. The light is too intensive that the old self depletes. “ And God said, let there be light and there was light” (Gen.1:3). He said let there be light, he said let all things be exposed --To clear things up within us, and bring happiness. Light also depicts the nature of fire, no wonder the Greek translation of light at John is “ phos ” which is synonymous to fire. When we receive Christ we receive the rest of God for all things have become clear “ In him was life, and the life was the light of men.” (Jon. 1:4). In Christ Jesus was life, the life of God--ZoĆ«—the very life of God. And the life was the light of us. The light brought life to us. And so “ the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom. 6:23) by His word who is Jesus Christ light came to us. God created nothing without His word that was created. Without Christ in...
