THE VOICE OF CHRIST (DAILY SPIRITUAL LESSONS)


Date: MONDAY JANUARY 14, 2019
Topic: THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
Read:  Matthews 5:14
Daily Bible Study:  Genesis 32-34; Psalm 14.

Ye are the light of the worlds (Matt. 5:14).

Today, if we were asked to say who the light of the world is, a greater percentage of Christians would say it is Jesus Christ � wrong answer! In the book of John 9:5, Jesus Himself said that He was the light of the world as long as He was in the world. He has since left the world about 2000 years ago. Who then is the light of the world?

Our text today reveals Christ confirming it that we the believers are the light of the world. This means that it is our responsibility as believers to illuminate the world. Jesus bids us shine with a clear and pure light in this world of darkness. In a world where false doctrines and evil practices thrive, men and women have been thrown into spiritual darkness, groping in the noonday. It is the believers� duty to see to it that the light of the gospel gets to them. We are in the era of the Great Commission and Christ expects us to beam this light even to the uttermost parts of the earth.
Let us not be carried away by every wave of doctrine. The world is large but our character, words, prayers and good conducts can make a lot of difference. Let your light shine today, illuminating the world to God's glory. Start from your little corner, and as ripples grow from a point source, you will see your light of righteousness grow to positively influence others and turn their hearts unto God.

Prayer:  Dear LORD, help me to shine forth Your light daily through my lifestyle, that the world may see You through me, I pray in Jesus name � Amen.

This is real Food for Thought: Prof. Wole Soyinka says : 'WHERE DID WE GO WRONG? WAKE UP NIGERIAN YOUTHS!'~~~ "Awolowo was 37 years, Akintola 36, Ahmadu Bello 36, Balewa 34, Okotie-Eboh 27 and Enahoro 27 And they led the struggle for Nigeria Independence after the death of Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at the time! In 1966, the first military coup was led by K Nzeogwu who was 29 years and countered by M.Mohammed 28, T. Danjuma 28, I. Babangida 25, J. Garba 23, Sani Abacha 23, and M. Yar'adua 23, And brought into power Y. Gowon 32, Ojukwu 33, Obasanjo 29, And Buhari 24! Most of the military governors who governed the states under the successive military regimes were under 30 years. Also, the brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw some Senators and members of the House of Representatives, in particular, populated by persons under 30! Under 30's were also not in short supply with a...
