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.

Good morning Beloved Brethren, Date: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2018 Topic: WALLS OF PROTECTION Text: Read: Proverbs 25:28 Daily Bible Study: Lev. 20-21; Matt. 28 “He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls” (Prov. 25:28). In Old Testament times, walls around a city were a symbol of strength and security. Without walls, a town would be left open to easy attack, not just from humans, but even from wild animals. When Prophet Nehemiah realized that the walls around the city of Jerusalem were in ruins, he wept and mourned certain days; fasted and prayed before the God of heaven (Neh. 1:4). As it is to a city, so it is to an individual; a person who has no self-control is like a city without walls. He or she is open to enemy attacks at any given moment. When we fail to exercise self-control, the spirits of lying, gossips, backbiting, hatred, tribalism, racism, jealousy, rage, frustration, bearing false witness, and more, can enter our...
