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.

Flee From Unholy Contacts

What is wrong with two people sleeping together or living together if they really love each other and are open and honest?"  "Not sex with everybody, but what about sex in a particular relation-ship?"

 "What if we have sex, enjoy it, and discover it makes us love each oth-er all the more"  "Are you suggesting I am some kind of prude and should say "no" to sex just because I am young and single?"

 "Haven't times changed?"  "Isn't a lot of this campaign about HIV/AIDS just scare tactics and not relevant to those of us who are in straight crowds?  Good questions deserve honest, straight answers.

All around us are a thousand voices trying to squeeze us into the world's mold. The ques-tion is; will you stand out above the mass of humanity and become one of the priceless few who have the courage and conviction to say 'No'? Notice what Joseph says in Genesis 39:9. There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
As Christians, we need to know what the Bible says about sex outside of marriage.
God instructs us not to have sex with anyone other than our spouse. Exodus 20:14. It is clear that God forbids sex outside of marriage. When we obey God, He is pleased. He honors our obedience by blessing us.

You will have good success this 2016.

Remain blessed.

Shalom.
