Isaiah 60:1 – “Arise; Shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee …” The main reason given by Isaiah why the people should arise and shine is because their light has come and the glory of the LORD is risen upon them.
In this verse, the light referred to here is our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God.
4: 6 refers to Him as the Sun of Righteousness. John 8:12 and 9:5 describes Jesus Christ as the "Light of the world" The “rising and shining” of our light also has to do with God's glory shining through us.
This succeeding verses mentioned this – “the glory of the Lord is risen upon you” and “But the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you” We have no light of our own, except that which comes from the Lord. And with the coming of the greater the lesser terminates.
No matter how great a situation, person or thing is, when a greater, stronger and more dominant appears, the lesser is done away with. Light terminates darkness. When Light comes, darkness flees, scampers away, ab-sconds… John 1:5 – “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not” I declare that every darkness in our lives shall give way to the light of God...
You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.

Meekness is not Weakness
By Pastor 'Deji Adewale
Numbers 12:3 - Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth In Numbers 16:1-35 some people gathered themselves together against Moses, their leader was called Korah and his immediate colleague is Dathan and Abiram.
They say are you the only elders in this town? You hear from God we also hear from God, you Moses, you are the prophet, your elder brother Aaron you made him priest, your sister Miriam, you ask her to lead the choir, you want to turn the church to family business and Moses said I am not the one doing it God sent me to do it, they said God has sent them too.
Then Moses said in that case let God decide. And God said gather people together and those who are on your side let them stay on your side and those people who are on the side of the other, let them stay at their side. Suddenly the ground opens and swallow the rebels.
When we hear the word meek, many times we think of someone who is weak, shy and reserved. The image is that meek people cannot stand up for them-selves and everyone runs over them. No! Meekness is not weakness, it is strength under control. There are times when running away from something takes more courage than staying.
It takes more courage to walk away from a fight than to raise your fists; It takes more courage to keep your mouth shut than return a curse. MEEKNESS is not WEAKNESS. 1st Peter 5:5 – “…Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble…”

Men who Know their God
By Daniel Sangoleye
Have you ever found yourself in a situation that makes you
ask yourself question like; what is wrong with my Christian Life? Why do I have
to be the victim? Why can’t I have joy like other Christians?
If any of these
questions sounds familiar to you, then you might want to re-evaluate your Stand
with God; your understanding of Him and your relationship with Him. John 16 33 “These things I have spoken unto
you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer; I have over-come the world.”
Christian life is not one
without ups and down, and Christians are not people without hope. But our
assurance is embedded in the word of God, Daniel 11:32 declared that “but the
people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.”
There is, the need for an understanding of
the God we serve for our exploit. Knowing God also brings us closer Him, and
when we are closer to him, we become spiritually strong and rest is guaranteed.
Matthew 11:28 “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will
give you rest.”
You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.

Be Strong in the Lord
By Pastor 'Deji Adewale
Divine strength is the power we need for living. It is the desire of God to strengthen us - Psalm 29:11 – “The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace”, but the plan of the devil is to weaken the children of God.
When you are weak and weary because of the challenges of life, you need to call on God for divine strength. When God has blessed you so much that you can’t even cope with the workload required of you, you need divine strength as well. When troubles and trials seem to overwhelm you, you need the help of the Most High to strengthen you so that you can carry on.
Ephesians 6:10 says “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might” The reason we need to "be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might" is that satan wants to get us away from that. It is our power base. He wants to separate us from God, because the moment he gets us away from Him, we become an easy prey.
Thus, the devil wants to put a wedge between God and us. The only power that can defeat satan is the power of Jesus Christ. Be strong in the Lord. Stay close to Him. Never let anything come between you and the Lord. You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.
