LIGHT FOR YOUR SUCCESS JOURNEY

TURN THE LIGHT WAY

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” Psalm 119:105

A day or time comes in every man’s life when all his struggles come to a sudden halt and by this I don’t mean the event of death rather I mean for instance, from weeping to rejoicing, complaining to praising God, ill to being healed etc. For you that day and time is today!

However, worthy of note is one crucial fact; that the coming of light precedes such turn-around. That light knows where you ought to be so He just takes you there. You will agree with me that travelling at night without your headlamps will either make your journey sluggish or even stalled.

That is why our opening text talks about lamp unto feet and light unto path. Light makes your journey extremely fast and easy. We can therefore deduce that many are either not making progress in the journey of life today or even sluggish because their light hasn’t come because unto your light comes, rising will be a struggle, Isaiah 60:1.

Hence, it is always better and advisable to follow the light. However, the light I am introducing to you is a person in the form of words. John 1:1-4 says;

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.... In him was life; and the life was the light of men”

Jesus is that light and He is saying to you now;

“...Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” Matthew 4:19

He is the maker of colourful destinies; the repairer of faulty foundations; the healer of broken hearts etc. He is saying to you; follow me and I will make you what you cannot make yourself. He has sent me to tell you to turn the light-way. Heed the instructions you are receiving from the word of God through His servants this season because that’s the light that will lead you to your haven.

Congratulations!

WHY NOT SEND YOUR MOST OBEDIENT SERVANT?

YOUR WORDS ARE SPIRITS

“…the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” John 6:63b

There is always a word for the season. Where I come from; there are different forms of greeting for different occasions. You don’t go the place of mourning bringing them the greeting of celebration. Jesus said His words are “spirit” not “spirits” and because we are as He is, our words are spirit.

Hence, Hebrew 1:7 reveals to us that this spirit is your angel. Just as in Luke 7:1-10 as it applied to the case of the Centurion and his servant encountering Jesus via His spirit (word); your words are your messengers.

Conclusively, without beating about the bush send your words where you want to be. Shalom!

AVOID THIS PLEASE!

Every man is born with a cross and his fulfillment in life is tied to carrying that cross to destiny. Unfortunately, many are of course today across the globe because they have refused to carry that cross. Now it is not enough for you to carry your cross but to follow the right person as well.

One of my mentors said to me, you cannot carry your cross and still be able to look in too many directions. In other words, it is understandable that there are distractions all over the world today but only people who either not carrying their cross or carrying and following the wrong leaders get distracted and sink. For as long as Peter kept his eyes on Jesus, he maintained walking on the boisterous sea. The world today is more boisterous than ever before and many are sinking but I am sent to rescue you.

YOUR CROSS IS YOUR PURPOSE

Jesus says in Matthew 16:24;

“...If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me”

You cannot benefit from this kingdom if you don’t first of all deny self and carry your cross. Your cross is your purpose. You were created and born for a purpose; also being born at the time you were born and in that location where you were born were pre-ordained and not accidents. The primary purpose of every human is to;

“...that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” 1Peter 2:9

That’s one cross that unites everyone together. It is now your soul responsibility to move steps forward to discover why “You” are here. Your cross is individualistic, I am carrying mine already and what you are reading is a proof to that assertion. Are you getting me? Hence, living without purpose lives you a wanderer and nothing could be as frustrating as such a lifestyle.

ASK GOD FOR YOUR PURPOSE

If you want to know the purpose of a thing, you don’t ask the creation, you ask the creator. Even Jesus had to define His purpose in John 10:10, He also defined the devils purpose because he (satan) didn’t know it because God created him and it would have only taken God to tell it.

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly”

So while the devil’s purpose is to steal, kill and destroy He’s was to give life in abundance. You have got to let this truth take residence in you that you are an intentional, meaningful and guaranteed to succeed.  Only God knows your purpose because He alone knows it. Hence, that purpose is the key to our fulfilment and if the purpose for your life is not known, you’re simply experimenting.

Finally, your purpose accounts for you nature, talents, design and features so, go to God in prayers and ask Him why He created you because that is where your joy is hidden!

CROSS-LESS DESTINIES

I will be as brief as possible on this point. There is light at the end of every tunnel in the same vein, glory awaits everyone who carries his/her cross successfully. Satan now offers the counterfeit of that glory on a platter of gold which indirectly excuses you from carrying the cross.

“Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me” Matthew 4:8-9

Don’t ever subscribe to a life without the cross. The riches you don’t work for never last; it will develop wings and fly away. If Jesus had accepted that offer, salvation would have remained a mirage today but thank God He stood His ground on the word of God.

Conclusively, you cannot escape being offered this fake glory; only your stand on the word of God will save you. Unfortunately, many today live with such fake glories and have died untimely. Say no to a cross-less life and in case you are of course already, accept Jesus now and get saved. Say after me please; “Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I am a sinner, please forgive all my trespasses, wash me in Your blood and give me a new beginning as I accept you as my Lord and personal Saviour from now on, Amen”. Congratulations but get grounded in God’s word lest satan floors you again. A cross-less destiny is the deception of the devil, say no to it because there is only one way to the top and that is Jesus Christ!

WATCH OUT FOR YOUR ANGELS!

INTRODUCTION    

Most people have restricted the persons of angels to invisible beings and for those who believe they are visible ones in a blue moon; they believe angels are giant which is quite true. For instance Rev 21:17 says;

“And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel”

From the above scripture we have the average height of an angel to be 144 Cubits i.e. about 8,064cm or 80.64m. That, you will agree with me is a height indeed. In another instance, a sister gave a testimony of how the 747-aircraft in which she was travelling at a time developed fault while Boeing and of course pandemonium exactly describes the situation on the plane the moment it was announced that there was a fault and crash-landing was the only way out. She took a glance at the window and she saw an angel smiling at her as he held the plane in the palm of his hand, this of course gave her peace.

In this very short epistle the message I am communicating is that your angels most times take up the form of man and this we can ascertain by the characteristics of angels and possibly their position.

WHO ARE MY ANGELS?

God transforms our angels into leaders. In other words, they appear in form of leaders in our market place of life. That person ahead of you in your office, church, marriage, carrier etc is your angel. You call them by different names such as Mentors, Directors, Managers, Shepherds, Role Models etc. To drive down this point, Exodus 23:22 says:

“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared”

Now, this point en-capsules others because it gives us in summary who an angel is in relation to man. From this we are able to deduce that;

-angels are ahead of us in other words, they are leaders i.e. people who have either been or on the way to your destination.

-angels are keepers. You shouldn’t find it hard agreeing with me that Police men/women are angel too. Your parents are your angels. Your Pastor is your angel etc. By the time you do your arithmetic of who your angels really are, you will agree with scriptures that you have an innumerable number of them around you pa time.

-angels know where you both ought to be and where you are going. They know what’s ahead so, they try stopping you. Sometimes thugs could even be your angel put in place to stop or prevent you from an impending accident. You remember Balaam’s ass in Numbers 22:27-28 how it suddenly stopped as Balaam travelled with it so as to prevent Balaam from being killed. In verse 33, the death confirmed that Balaam would have been a dead man save that his ass turned away. In the same vein, your car could turn away from death by developing a fault.

By these and many more you can get to know your angels when they put on animate or inanimate forms but there is something more.

SENSITIVITY IS KEY

You need to be very sensitive to catch this signal. That boss of yours that you don’t like because of the way he either talks to you or despitefully uses you is your angel and he is only doing his work. Your Pastor seems to be strict so you have decided to work your transfer, don’t run away from your angel. Don’t run away from home, your parents or guardian are your angels etc. Remember what David said in Psalm 23:4b;

“...thy rod and thy staff they comfort me”

All the tortures as it were that you are getting now is for your future comforts so, don’t despise it. To guide you to your angel, I have served as your angel. You go and serve as someone else’ angel by sharing this piece with him/her. However, watch out for evil angels. how do you know them? simply by their mission and belief.

Mission

"The thief cometh not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy..." John 10:10

also their belief system;  

"...believe not every spirit, but try the spirit whether they be of God...every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God..." 1John 4:1-3.

 God bless you!

IN CHRIST WE LIVE

Many live today both really don’t have life; Christ makes the difference. Our lives as believers are of God through Christ. Col 3:3 say;

“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God”

Born again Christians are dead to self and alive in Christ because you have been;

“...crucified with Christ: nevertheless I (you) live; yet not I (you), but Christ liveth in me (you): and the life which I (you) now live in the flesh I (you) live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me(you), and gave himself for me(you)” Gal 2:20

We can then conclude that once you give your life to Christ, you literally don’t have any right as it were on your own life. You are therefore answerable to Christ because He is your landlord. As it were you are a tenant in His house.

Finally, in Christ is the safest place to live because He is;

“...a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe” Prov 18:10

Hence, whatever or whoever wants to reach you in any way either to harm you or otherwise must first of all conquer Christ because He is both the way and the strong man whose treasure you are, Mark 3:27;

“No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house”

Also confirmed in Luke 11:21 saying;

“When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace”

Shalom!
