THE CHRISTIAN FAITH: IT’S ABOUT BEING THE LIGHT AND THE ANSWER TO SOMEONE ELSE DARKNESS AND QUEST!
“For God, who commanded the LIGHT to shine out of DARKNESS, hath shined in OUR HEARTS, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6.)
Are you a Gospel Minister, Christian Worker and or a Believer of The Christian Faith? I pray you to be the GOOD SAMARITAN and not the extra busy and insensitive PRIEST and LEVITE of Luke 10:25-37, who seems too religiously busy and insensitive to have a moment for the QUEST of the needy as per when it’s most important when the opportunity to do so was within their reach.
Sometimes for many we’ve overlooked the essence of the Ministry of the Gospel – which is about solving life problems, and for which, we are in the World and not of the World. This thus indicate the need to be heavenly mindful and also of earthly good. We need to be earthly good even to a fault, if that’s what it takes to give hope, love, faith, peace, opportunity and more, to someone else.
Solving life problems for others will take passion that might involve sacrifice and service. You may not be positioned to have the physical answer per se for everything, but a PRAYER, a heartfelt concern to care may be more helpful than the actual physical provision; especially when it’s not within your physical possessions to offer and provide. When you become the light and answer to someone else darkness and quest, our God in return will beam His light of life in His own ways and time on your own darkness and quest.
Give yourself a trial this week, by being the light and answer to someone else darkness and quest. The Father God will be glorified and you will be blessed indeed. Amen!
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Ye are the LIGHT of the world. A CITY that is SET on an HILL cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your LIGHT so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and GLORIFY your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16).
“Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. PROVIDE THINGS HONEST IN THE SIGHT OF ALL MEN. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, LIVE PEACEABLY WITH ALL MEN. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, FEED him; if he thirst, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:16-21
“If thine enemy be HUNGRY, GIVE him bread to eat; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.
“Brethren, if a man be OVERTAKEN in a fault, ye which are SPIRITUAL, RESTORE such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 BEAR YE ONE ANOTHER’S BURDENS, and so FULFIL the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 AND LET US NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore OPPORTUNITY, let us DO GOOD unto all men, ESPECIALLY unto them who are of the HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH” Galatians 6:1-10.
