CANDLE IN THE WIND

 Matthew 5:14

 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
--------------------------------------------
There is a a thing that God expects from His children. Mere fact that you are named His child is the fact that you have to reflect his nature. He expects you to emit the light within. The light He has

It never makes any sense if you are called the child of God and never have what shows . It is like going for a DNA test with those you call your children only to find out that they are a match of cow's DNA. Yet you pretty know for sure that they are your kids.

Light is a phrase used in the new testament to means good deeds that reflect the nature of God. It means that lighting up your candle is showing your good deeds to the world.
But it is easier said than done.
Mere fact that the Bible says the world is ruled by Satan is that fact that goods are hard to light up. Making your light shine in a place of darkness is not all-that are plate of gold. There is hardship associated with that. It is lighting a candle in the wind. A candle in the wind will not be stable throughout the move through the wind. It will flap left and right and all the sides according to where the wind goes. Even when we try to light the world with good deeds , there will be resistance.

You therefore have to depict the rightful orientation throughout your move. You have to have stronger character throughout your exhibition. A character that will strengthen the light of the candle...that even when the wind of this world comes against it, the light will not be blown off. It will continue lighting till the bridegroom finds the bride with it. 
Never lose hope in doing good. Do good even when it is hard to. Be good to those who can't accept you as good. The right time will come when your good overshadows the Darkness. God will surely reward you as you deserve. Light the candle for all to see.

                      GOD BLESS YOU

HOLD IT

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON:                           HOLD IT   INTRO :  It is easy to go through life and feel embarrassed. And because of such embarrassment, it also easy to feel like throwing out something to compensate for your bad feelings. You feel you should throw out a word at someone, you feel you should throw off the relationship, you feel you should throw off the patience.  There is something that happens behind the scene that we never know about. And if we knew it, we would understand the power of holding it to our selves.   PROB : The problem we have is that we want to seek for compensation in short times, for revenge within no times...and never want to hold reactions for long.   PURP :  To enable us hold our emotions and anxieties in a world of intolerance.       >>> Christ was a man who faced a lot of persecution. He was always sought for by his enemies. They wanted him dead at all cost. Reaching a point of shamelessly paying one of his disciple to bet

THE GREAT BLISS

THE GREAT BLISS Isaiah 42:9  See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” -------------------------------------------- When there is something God is yet to do, He has to get tools within you to accomplish it. And one tool to use in you is the mind you got. God cannot accomplish great things when the mind and heart are stuck in former things...in former years. Before He made Mary have the great son He had to make her forget the former things and focus on the new things. When the Bible clearly says that God has a good plan for us and it assures us that God has no harmful plan for us; this means that what could be holding us back is not up to God!. He has the good plan already. But the nature of our minds may be holding onto the former and never letting it go. Because of the pains you had in the last year, you still revise that and experience pains again.  But there is something new. The Lord has tol
