  PROGRESS Luke 10:17-24 Devotional:- “In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight” (v.21) NKJV A very strong factor of joy is good result. This is attaining a goal you have set ahead of yourself. Anyone who sets and achieves a goal naturally experiences a kind of joy, and this is why you must be an achiever too. The Bible talks about fullness of joy in God’s presence (Psalm 16:11). One of the factors responsible for good result is the fulfilment of God’s word. The word of God says there is a great joy in heaven over a sinner that repents (Luke 15:7). And since you are a child of God, your life must also experience the joy of achievement. When the disciples of Jesus returned to Him, it was with joy because they had achieved their goal as instructed by the Lord; the bible says Jesus also ...

SALT AND LIGHT

SALT AND LIGHT          

Matthew 5:13-16
Devotional Verse:- "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men” (Vs. 13).

 


    Salt has the characteristics of sweetening, preserving and cleansing just like light has the nature of illuminating, revealing and dominating darkness. In His teachings, Jesus likened believers to salt and light. These are the two powerful combinations that ordained every child of God to stand out and be a blessing wherever they are.
    Like the salt, our lifestyles should bring sweetness to every relationship and community we find ourselves. This can be done if we remain in the peace and joy of God wherever we are (Philip. 4:4-5). Also, like salt preserves, we should be the sustainer of all good things around us by enduring with others and standing by faith in the word of God (Hebrews 1:3). To cleanse like salt does, we should be the cleansing agent wherever we are either in the house or office. This is by been an example of righteousness in all situation and others can emulate us for good.
 
    To illuminate as light, we are expected to bring understanding of wisdom and truth everywhere, so that people can see rightly. Through the light in us, we should prevail over darkness (John 1:5). This includes living by faith to overcome in all situations (1 John 5:4). Every one of us should take time to inculcate these characteristics into our lives so that it can become our lifestyle. In doing this, you will find the grace to reflect the glory of God (1 Peter 2:9). Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, make me a sweetening agent and a light everywhere.
 
“BE THE SALT AND LIGHT EVERYONE NEEDS!”
