SON, WHAT DID YOU DO?
I was at home and we had some visitors, so I decided to go upstairs to my mother's room to pray and study since she was busy with cooking in the kitchen.
As I lay on the bed, I saw on the platform where she keeps things, a small quantity of sugar wrapped in nylon but engrossed by some tiny ants. Immediately, I took the sugar and dropped it on the floor where the rays of light coming from the sun can pe*****te it. Then, I continued my prayers.
Suddenly, I heard the voice of God saying to me, "Son, what did you do to the sugar?"
I replied, "I exposed it to sunlight".
Then, God spoke again, "Why didn't you start killing the ants one by one?"
I said, "Because I will be wasting time and of course no matter the number of ants, when the sugar is exposed to light, they will all disappear".
Then, God said, "Son, expose your life to the light of the word when the 'ants' of worry, lack, pains, trials come to you. Don't attack the problem, just expose your life to the word of God, and the problem will be solved (disappear)".
Beloved, what are the 'ants' surrounding your 'sugar' right now? Is it lack, delay, joblessness, barrenness, dryness, failure, disappointment, all manner of sinful habits and the vicissitudes of life? Simply, expose your life to the 'light of the word'.
Have you read about the temptation of Jesus? I mean did you study it? What did you see? For me, I saw the exact illustration above in that context.
Jesus had exposed Himself to the light of the scriptures and the enemy was unable to have a free run.
Do you know what would have happened to that small quantity of sugar? Little by little, the ants would have sucked it up and left nothing there.
That is exactly the enemies' agenda for you and me but we are able to stop them when we are exposed to light, not by 'killing' them.
I Hope this blessed you, please share if it has! It's a free gift to all passing through one challenge or the other. Shalom.
