Topic : Shine His Light.
Memory Verse:Proverbs 4:18. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
Bible Reading :Proverbs 4:13-17 KJV. Key :v14.
Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
The word of God is full of instructions that will make us wise when we follow or obey them. Any man that wants to succeed in life must realise that the word of God controls everything created by God including men who claims that they don’t believe in him or men that don’t want to have anything to do with God and his word for reasons best known to them. Everything we do in this life affects our lives directly or indirectly. Or better say that the things we do to others are seeds we sow in the soil of time that we are bound to harvest from in the near future. When we have understanding, it will help us to be careful what we do to people that comes our way in this life. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 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. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” Galatians 6:7-10.
Anyone that wants to succeed in life must therefore avoid the paths of evil, self centered or wicked men. They are men that don’t care what happens to others, as long as they get what they want. Such individuals have a culture of plotting how to bring other men down to achieve their selfish goals. They destroy the economy and polity of nations because of greed. They are not happy when others do well or are doing well. Such people find it difficult to appreciate good things or the progress of other men in life. Instead of complimenting men to succeed, they plot how to bring them down rather. Such men delight in causing others harm or damages and are intentional about it. They enjoy seeing others in pain because they work for the devil who kills joy, steal blessings and destroy any good things they can lay hands on. Such seeds are very dangerous or harmful to sow in the lives of others. There are others who are like them, who live to be hired to execute evil plots. That is their way of life or where they eat their bread (bread of wickedness). This is not the way to go in life for anyone who wants to have a future that stands the test of time.
“The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” Proverbs 4:18 NIV. God wants his children to travel on the path of the just or righteous because of the benefits. Anyone who wants to succeed or have lasting success in life, must do what is right and acceptable before God himself who is our standard and judge of the universe. It is God’s desire that we live to duplicate every good qualities we see in him in our dealings with other men. We have to do everything within our capacity to be cosiderate or to treat them just the way God himself will at any point in time. “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 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. 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.
Prayer : Thank you Father God for your instructions that makes men wise. Keep me from every wicked, selfish and crooked paths. Let me walk in your paths of truth and righteousness all the day of my life. Let my life illuminate my world to the glory of your name in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Genesis 40:1-23.
