Children of Light in a Dying World

By Sammy Mbila

In this month of our “SUNRISE AND SUNSHINE” we must make a self determined effort to examine some core concepts about the Biblical Children of Light.

The word of God tells us in John 8:12 that God is Light! therefore if God is light everyone under God’s shadow is under the light and can safely be called a child of light. Mathew 5:14 says we are the light of the world so as Children in Dominion Mercy Seat we can boldly proclaim ourselves as “CHILDREN OF LIGHT” because we are God’s children before becoming the children of our biological parents.

The Bible says in Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart…….” And in Psalm 139:13 the word of God tells us that “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb”. In Mathew 19:14 Jesus said “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these”. In Luke 18:16 and Mark 10:14 Jesus made the same plea that Children should be allowed to come to HIM.

We must therefore examine some important assurances and commands from God for Children of Light in Dominion Mercy Seat.

We must:
1. Be a “Timothy” to our teachers and parents. Philippians 2:19-20
2. We must be a light to our friends in School especially those who do not believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior. Isaiah 49:6B
3. We must remain chosen. Isaiah 49:7
4. We must not fellowship with unbelievers. Ephesians 5:11
5. We must readily forgive. Mathew 18:2-4; Ephesians 4:32 and Colossians 3:13

You will have good success this 2016.

Remain blessed.
Shalom

Walking in Sunshine

By Deac. Kemi Epedi

There are various places in the Bible where the verse begins with an action word –Rejoice, Be Bold, Believe, Pray without ceasing, etc.

These passages make us understand that God is giving us a direct instruction; and that He expects a corresponding response from us. So when you see ‘Arise and shine!’ the implication is ‘You arise!’ and ‘You shine!’ And the appropriate response from us should be “I will arise and I will shine”.   Why is it important that we respond this way?  Because embedded in us is the anointing and empowerment to fulfill it.

So when you refuse to respond appropriately, you deny yourself the opportunity to walk in power and victory in that specific area of your life. When God says Arise, He is not considering your own ability; He is considering the power and anointing that is saturated in that command, ‘Arise’.  The reality is that life will knock you down.

However, you must make up your mind as to whether you will stay down or get back up again. Even when you are standing, God still expects you to arise.  Why?  Because if you do not arise, you cannot really shine; and the world cannot come to your light.  

You will have good success this 2016.

Remain blessed
