One thing that farmers have to be, is patient. They plant the seed then they wait for God to do the miracle of turning a seed into a plant.

God plants a seed in our hearts through a promise that He has given us from His Word, then we stand there, waiting for him to fulfil it immediately.

“To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven… a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted" – Ecclesiastes 3:1-2.

There is always a waiting period between the time we plant, and the time that we harvest. “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest…will never cease” - Genesis 8:22.

The problem is that we call it seedtime, with no separation between the seed, and the time. In reality the word is seed…time…and harvest. And sometimes there is a loooong wait between the seed and the time, before we enjoy the harvest!

Time is in God’s hands and He decides who is waiting for tomatoes, mangoes, oranges, or spices that can sprout in a week. He is the Lord of the harvest. He is the Gardner. He decides what He is growing in his garden, and how long it will be before the harvest.

The waiting time, is the time for our faith to grow. It is our testing period. It is the time for us to trust in the character of God.

Has God promised you something? Has the waiting period been hard? He is faithful to His promises. If He has said it, He will do it.

“For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry” - Habakkuk 2:3

“God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?” – Numbers 23:19.

Prayer Points:

1). Ask the Lord to forgive you for giving him time lines within which He should answer your prayers.

2). Ask the Holy Spirit to help you walk in patience. It is one of the gifts that He came in with.

3). Thank the Lord for His faithfulness to his promises.

What is your salvation journey? Who are the people that God used in your life, to finally bring you to the point where you were ready to pray the “sinner’s prayer”?

That neighbour who invited you to church. Your parents who were committed to take you to Sunday school week after week. That Sunday School teacher. That person who prayed that the Holy Spirit would convict you of your need for Jesus Christ. That person who shared their testimony with you.

The apostle Paul reminded the Corinthians that God does not only use one person to bring people to Himself.

“I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow…” – 1 Corinthians 3:6.

Through whom was the seed planted in you? Who watered it? How did God make it grow until it sprouted into salvation?

God sent different people to preach to you in different ways, and that is how you eventually gave your life to Jesus Christ.

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” - Romans 10:14-15. How beautiful are the feet of those God used to bring you good news!

After I gave my life to Christ, I was just a spiritual baby. I did not know right from wrong. I did not know where to start reading the Bible, and when I read it, I did not understand it. But God brought people in my life to help me grow in my salvation.

“Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness” - Hebrews 5:13.

The pastor in our church broke down the Word for me in morsels that I could chew, Sunday after Sunday. Then my Bible study group leader went deeper. Slowly, I learnt to read the Bible for myself, and to understand its contents.

“Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work” – 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13.

God wants us to acknowledge those whom He has used to bring us to Christian maturity.

“The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honour, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching…” – 1 Timothy 5:17.

For those who work hard for the furtherance of the Kingdom, yet no one notices, God has a Word for you.

“God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them” – Hebrews 6:10.

Prayer Points:

1). Ask the Holy Spirit to bring to mind, everybody that God used to bring you to himself (Both living and dead). Thank the Lord for the part that they played in your salvation journey.

2). Pray that God would meet them at their point of need, and shower them with favour.

3). Ask the Lord to show you how you can play a part in somebody coming to Christ.

The responsibility for being bathed and kept clean does not lie with the toddler, but with their parents and care- givers.

These children will not realise that their nose needs to be cleaned, or that their dirty clothes need to be changed.

What is the child’s responsibility in this process of being kept clean? All they need to do is to yield to the process. Unlike the toddler that takes off running when it is bath- time, they need to stand still and let their bodies be cleaned. They need to let their noses be cleaned, and not fight back.

Being born is a gift from God. No one worked hard and was rewarded with being born! Isn’t it interesting that salvation is the same way? No one works hard so that God can reward them with salvation.

The Bible tells us that the new birth that we call salvation, is a gift from God to all who believe in His Son and receive Him in their lives.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast” - Ephesians 2:8-9.

A believer should never boast about their salvation as they compare themselves to a non-believer. Even the conviction for our need of Jesus Christ came from the Holy Spirit!

“And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me…” – John 16:8-9.

No one can come to Jesus Christ through their own effort because a non-believer is incapable of coming to Him on their own.

“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day” – John 6:44.

Anyone who ever gave their lives to Christ, was drawn by the Father. They did not come on their own.

Non- believers have been blinded by Satan, and blind people cannot see!

“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God” – 2 Corinthians 4:4.

So how do they finally receive the gift of salvation? As we pray, God removes the blinds from their minds (in answer to our prayers), then sends out labourers to preach to them.

“He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Pray the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field” – Luke 10:2.

Like the toddler who needs to be kept clean by his or her primary care-giver, God has taken the responsibility to keep us holy and clean. All we need to do is to yield to whatever process He takes us through for us to be holy and sanctified.

“… Just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word” – Ephesians 5:25-26.

Jesus Christ, through his Spirit that lives in us, makes us holy using the Word of God as the water that cleanses us. However, He can not read the Word on our behalf. We must yield ourselves to the Word through reading and meditating on it.

Just like the toddler that must allow themselves to be bathed, every believer must not run away at bath time! That body needs cleaning, and that nose needs to be wiped.

“May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” – 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“…Rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness” – Romans 6:13.

Prayer Points:

1). Ask the Lord to forgive you for the times when you have resisted His cleansing process.

2). Ask the Holy Spirit to help you yield every part of you, as an instrument of righteousness.

3). Thank the Lord for giving you the gift of salvation. Thank him for the person who prayed for your salvation.

Regret often comes with the realisation that we could have avoided the situation that we have found ourselves in, if only we had taken a different route, or done something differently.

“I should have..” is often what we say. The people that God first placed in our lives so that we do not live a life of regret later in life, were our parents.

While still under their care, a good parent will guide and correct their child. Simply beginning with “No!” when a toddler is walking towards a live socket, with a metal fork in their hand!

“The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother” -Proverbs 29:15.

The Bible does not advise for children to be left alone. Parents and care givers have the God-given authority to rebuke and correct children while they are still young.

“Bring up a child in the ways of the Lord, and when he is grown up, he will not depart from it” – Proverbs 22:6.

Most people do not like to be rebuked or corrected. Because I had a tendancy towards being a man-pleaser, I took rebuke or correction as rejection. It takes a while for a person to realise the benefit of rebuke or correction.

Why do we squirm when we are corrected or rebuked? It is because of pride.

Pride tells me that everything I do is correct, and that I do not need anyone to tell me what to do. What we do will always seem right to us, although the Bible warns us not to trust in our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).

As an author I am always amazed at the mistakes that a ‘second eye’ will pick out, even after I have edited a manuscript over and over again! That is why we have editors.

An editor will often pick out the mistakes that an author cannot see. Imagine if an author got offended and refused to make the corrections in their manuscript. Who is the loser? The author of course!

The Word of God warns us about the things that seem right to us.

“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death” - Proverbs 14:12.

Unfortunately, there is a way that seemed right, but which have caused the death of many people! People who correct or rebuke are often seen as “spoil-sports.” A “Spoil-sport” is someone who keeps you away from having fun.

There are people who if they were given a second chance by leaving their graves and coming back to the earth would make sense of the verse…

“How I hated discipline! How my heart spurned correction! I would not obey my teachers or turn my ear to my instructors” - Proverbs 5:12-13.

Only a person who loves you will correct you. Only a person who cares about you will rebuke you.

Your enemy wants you to go the wrong way and be destroyed. “Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses” – Proverbs 27:6.

Sometimes we are wounded when we are rebuked. I have realised that when I am wounded when my friend rebukes me, the problem is with me and not my friend.

“He who rebukes a man will in the end gain more favour than he who has a flattering tongue” - Proverbs 28:23. If I prefer flattery to rebuke, then I have a problem which I need to address.

May be I grew up in a home where all I got was rebuke and correction with no encouragement at all, so that when someone corrects me, it reminds me of the my childhood pain. As we bring our childhood pains to the Lord, He will heal us.

The Bible tells us that it is wise people who accept correction.

“Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning” – Proverbs 9:8-9.

The best ‘Rebuker’ and ‘Corrector’ is the Word of God. That is where we get all our learning and training. The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Wisdom. He uses the Word of God to impart this wisdom to us.

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight” - Proverbs 3:5.

As we submit to the Holy Spirit, He will directly use the Word of God, or other believers within the body of Christ to rebuke and correct us.

When did you last accept a rebuke or correction as coming from your loving heavenly Father?

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” – 2 Timothy 3:16.

“Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy” - Proverbs 29:1.

Prayer Points:

1). Ask the Lord to forgive you for allowing pride to keep you from accepting rebuke and correction.

2). Ask the Holy Spirit to impart His wisdom to you through the Word of God, and also through other believers.

3). Thank the Lord for the people who have cared enough for you to rebuke and correct you out of love.

There is something to be said about believers who have held onto hope no matter what they have gone through.

The English call it, “Come hell or high water.” When you say 'Come Hell or High Water' you mean that you are willing to do whatever it takes to overcome difficulty or obstacles.

The body of Christ has never lacked people who have gone through periods of great difficulty.

What does the Bible say about difficulty? Jesus, speaking to His disciples told them, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” – John 16:33.

What is the kind of peace that God wants us to have in the midst of difficulty? It is peace that passes understanding!

It is having peace when things are tough. It is having peace when things do not make sense. It is having peace when the road ahead is cloudy, and unclear. It is having peace even when God is silent and seems far away!

We see a situation where Moses and Joshua had to have peace that passes understanding. Moses went up Mount Sinai for God to give him the Ten Commandments inscribed on stone.

“Then Moses set out with Joshua his aide, and Moses went up on the mountain of God” – Exodus 24:13-14.

I am sure that both Moses and Joshua thought that it was probably going to be a quick job. Go up the mountain, get the tablets and come back! That was not to be!

A point came where Moses had to go up alone, while Joshua waited for him a little lower down. “When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai…” – Exodus 24:15-16.

Both Moses and Joshua must have waited in anticipation for God to show up and give Moses the stone tablets when the cloud covered it and the glory of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai! Again, that was not to be!

“To the Israelites the glory of the LORD looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain” – Exodus 24:17.

With the glory of the Lord and the consuming fire, the Israelites must have assumed that Moses had entered the cloud, was in the presence of God, and he was already talking Him. Again, not so!

Day one passed and Joshua probably started to wonder what was taking so long. I wonder what was going on through Moses mind. Then day two. Then day three. Day four passed and God had still not shown up.

“…For six days the cloud covered the mountain, and on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from within the cloud” – Exodus 24:16.

Seven days! Seven days of waiting for the Lord to speak. The cloud is there! The glory is there! The consuming fire is there! Yet God is silent.

We need to understand that we cannot make God speak because we are ready to hear Him. The cloud, glory and consuming fire may be there, yet God might be wanting us to press on in His presence. To tarry a little longer.

God will eventually speak to us when He is ready. He decides and not us. Our part is to press on in His presence, without weariness or impatience until ‘He calls out to us from the cloud.’

Pressing on and tarrying in the Lord’s presence takes us higher in our relationship with Him. We gain a new height. During the time of pressing on, we need to continue to pray. This experience will definitely plant our feet on higher ground.

Could it be that when we have waited and worshiped God, we have stopped before He speaks? Could it be that we were taken in by the cloud, glory, and consuming fire? Let us never give up until we have heard that rhema word from the Lord!

“And you shall hear a word behind you saying, ‘This is the way, walk thou in it…’ ” – Isaiah 30:21.

Prayer Points:

1). Ask the Lord to forgive you when you have looked for the outward signs rather than His still small voice.

2). Ask the Holy Spirit to help you tarry in God’s presence long enough to hear His Voice.

3). Thank the Lord who is ever willing to speak to His children.

What gives meaning in life is knowing that you are relevant. That you have a part to play in what is going on in this world, and that you are doing it well.

This is why it gives us such joy when someone tells us, “Well done!” A job well done, and appreciated, always gives great satisfaction!

In Matthew 25 we read of a man who was about to go went on a long journey, and called three of his servants. We are told that this man knew the capability of each servant and so he gave them talents according to their ability.

He gave the first servant five talents, the second one two, and the third one, only one talent. We are told that the first two servants put their money to work and doubled their talents. The third one did not put his talents to work but buried it in the ground, because of his bad attitude towards his master.

“I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed” – Matthew 25:24.

The first wo servants were praised for their efforts. “…Well done good and faithful servant!...” The third servant with a bad attitude, got a stern rebuke. “…You wicked lazy servant!”

When Jesus came to the earth, He knew that He was here for a short period and then He would go back to His Father. He was a man on mission, and His mission had an expiry date!

At the end of Jesus’ ministry on earth we hear Him telling the Father, “I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father” – John 16:28.

The only reason that Jesus could now go back to the Father, was because His mission had been accomplished. “I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do” – John 17:4.

There is no human being who has been sent to this world without work that he or she needs to complete before they exit. Just like Jesus, the work that we were sent to the earth to do has an expiry date!

Spending time doing work that we were not sent to this earth to do, is actually a waste of time. In the different seasons of our lives, there is something specific that God has called us to do.

That is why when a season of our life changes, we need to ask God what it is that we were called to do in that particular season.

At the end of King David’s life he had no regrets concerning his purpose although he was not perfect. When he committed adultery and murdered his faithful soldier, he repented and God forgave him.

However that did not stop him from accomplishing his purpose. “Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep…” – Acts 13:36.

We all have a purpose in our generation. Do you know yours? In Colossians 4:17, the apostle Paul says, “Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord” – Colossians 4:17.

My prayer is that I will complete the ministry that I have received in the Lord. Paul knew the importance of completing the ministry that we have received in the Lord.

A ministry that you do effortlessly, brings you great joy, and which blesses others, is one that you have received in the Lord. Work at it with all your heart!

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ” – Colossians 3:23-24.

A lot of things can distract us from our calling.

These things can be; involvement in somebody else’s calling; competing with others; jealousy of someone else’s calling; involvement in what is going on around us; loving the world and the things in the world; not aware that our time is short.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith" – 2 Timothy 4:7.

Prayer Points:

1). Ask the Lord to forgive you for not making the effort to find out what your calling is in the different seasons of your life.

2). Ask the Holy Spirit to help you to be faithful in the ministry that God has given you in your current season.

3). Thank the Lord that He had a plan and a purpose for sending you to this earth.

How many people within the body of Christ have ended up disappointed at the very little change that they have seen in their lives, even after genuinely praying the sinner’s prayer?

Do evangelists exaggerate about the wonderful change that comes with salvation? What really does a victorious Christian life look like?

In 2 Corinthians 5:17 we are told, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” This is the “new” that many converts to Christianity expect to see the next day!

New believers often expect their carnal nature to also get saved, on the same day that they pray the sinner’s prayer.

They often get shocked to realise that their minds, emotions, will and bodies are still gravitating towards forbidden things!

They are still coveting their neighbour’s things; they are still struggling with sexual thoughts; they are still getting very angry; they are still lying to get out of tight spots, and they are still ashamed to tell anyone about Jesus!

When babies are born, they do not grow into adulthood overnight, and neither do new believers.

The Apostle Paul told the believers in Colosse in the book of Colossians, that now that they had become believers, the rules on how to live their lives was going to change.

“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things” – Colossians 3:1-2.

We often set our hearts and minds on what we love. The challenge here is a change of focus.

Whereas before we gave our lives to Jesus Christ our focus was mainly on earthly things, Paul now challenges us to set our hearts and minds on things above. That means to set our hearts and minds on Jesus Christ and what He desires for us.

1 John 2:1 now warns us not to love the world or anything in the world. How can we not love the things in the world, and yet that is where we live? The next verse breaks down for us the things in the world that we must now turn away from.

“For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world” – 1 John 2:16.

It is said that one’s life will always follow their way of thinking. “As a man thinketh, so is he” – Proverbs 23:7.

That change that we desire after we give our lives to Jesus Christ comes gradually as we turn away from the things in the world, and turn towards things above. Paul exhorts us therefore, to

“Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips” – Colossians 3:5-8.

How do we put things to death? We do it when we stop feeding it!

When we stop feeding the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, they will die! We will start to be transformed as our minds are made new (Romans 12:2).

Have you stopped see change in your life? Are you struggling with walking in victory? Ask yourself what you have been feeding. Constantly feed on the Word of God and you will walk in victory!

“But solid food (the Word) is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil” – Hebrews 5:14.

Prayer Points:

1). Ask the Lord to forgive you for not growing as a believer because of the lack of constantly reading the Word.

2). Ask the Holy Spirit to help you be disciplined in setting your heart and mind on thins above.

3). Thank the Lord for His commitment to our growth as believers by giving us the Holy Spirit.

As human beings we are generally very selfish. We often want the better, bigger, and more comfortable things for ourselves.

Because we have acted like this from childhood, we unfortunately reach a point where we do it subconsciously. It is the rare person who will be offered a plate that has two oranges, and then take the smaller and worse- looking orange for themselves.

When we enter a room for a meeting, our eyes often scan the room for the most comfortable-looking chair, and make a bee-line for it. Again, it is the rare person who will look for the least comfortable looking chair to sit on.

In Luke chapter 14, we are told that one sabbath Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee. In verse 7 We are told,

“…He noticed how the guests picked the places of honour at the table…” This prompted Jesus to teach them a lesson on humility.

“When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place” – Luke 14:8-9.

Wow! What an embarrassing situation.

In many meetings that I have attended, the guest speaker often has a special seat designated for them. Imagine coming into the meeting and taking a seat, only to be moved because you are sitting on the seat reserved for the guest speaker!

What was Jesus’ advice? “But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honoured in the presence of all the other guests” – Luke 14:10.

The Bible tells us in verse 11 of the same chapter that everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

Unfortunately, always wanting the best for ourselves can lead to covetousness which causes us to be envious of others, and to be dissatisfied with the things that we have. This subject is dealt with in the Ten Commandments.

“You shall not covet your neighbour’s house. You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour” – Exodus 20:17.

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves” – Philippians 2:3.

Prayer Points:

1). Ask the Lord to forgive you for the times when you have taken something better for yourself, and not considered the other person as more valuable.

2). Ask the Holy Spirit to help you be the kind of person who always looks out for the needs of others around you.

3). Thank the Lord who set us an example by humbling Himself, and taking on poverty so that we may be rich (2 Corinthians 8:9).

If we want to win against darkness, all we have to do is to switch on the light!

The darkness will only last for as long as we take to find the switch. Once we find the switch, it will not switch itself on.

The only thing that will be standing between me and darkness, will be the decision that I take. To either turn the switch on, or to leave it off.

The simple decisions that we make in life will often make a difference between light and darkness.

It is interesting to note that believers in Jesus Christ are referred to as light. As children of God, He is called the Father of lights.

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights…” – James 1:17.

God only refers to Himself as a Father, to His children who are down here on earth. In Matthew 5:16, we are exhorted to let our light shine before men so that they can praise our Father in heaven.

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light” – Ephesians 5:8.

Light was created to dispel darkness, just by being turned on. In the same way, the Sun chases away the darkness of the night simply by showing up! God wants his children to have the same effect as the Sun.

When they encounter a dark situation, the darkness must flee just by them showing up. Matthew 5:16 has reminded us to “Let our light shine before men…” This means that whether men see our light or not, depends on us. We can either block it, or let it shine.

How did we become light? Was it by our own doing? No. It was God who changed us from darkness to light.

“He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son” – Colossians 1:13.

“You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light” – Ephesians

God has given His children the mandate to bring light into the kingdom of darkness through their good deeds. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good deeds…” – Matthew 5:16.

The Word of God tells us that everywhere Jesus went, He only did good.

“God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him” – Acts 10:38.

Jesus directly came against the kingdom of darkness, and so should believers. We must bring the culture and values of the Kingdom through our deeds, wherever we go.

The Bible calls Jesus the Light of the word, and also calls Him the Word made flesh among us. That means that the light and the Word are the same person – Jesus Christ!

To bring light into a dark situation therefore means that we introduce the Word of God into it.

In our offices, homes, and businesses, we are the light of the world! Is your light shining brightly enough for God to send you into the darkness? God intended that believers be the solution for a dark world by their good deeds.

Being immersed in the Word of God will increase the intensity of our light!

“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” – Matthew 5:15.

Prayer Points:

1). Ask the Lord to forgive you where you have not let your light shine in dark situations that you come across.

2). Ask the Holy Spirit to help you live out the culture and values of the Kingdom of God every day.

3). Thank the Lord for the privilege of shining for Christ!
