LIGHT WORD

LightWord: “He does things too marvelous for people to understand. He does too many miracles to count!” Job 9:10 ERV First, let me welcome you to the realm of the Supernatural when things happens on their own beyond your wildest or human's imagination. Supernatural is when the natural is suspended by the super. When heaven and earth kisses with a great explosion. God is the One behind the Supernatural . Help is when things becomes ease for the helped, when there is a great assist, when there is support, when there is a back-up. Say this to yourself: Thank You Father for the realm You are ushering me into, in this season in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.” Psalm 23:3 Everything that happens to man affect the state of a man's soul either positively or negatively. Think about it, if you are materially in need, it is your soul that will be affected, if your health is unbalanced it affects your soul. If you're not growing spiritually as expected, it is the soul that will suffer for it. And once the soul is out of peace in any aspect, everything else outwardly will be unpeaceful. But thank God He says He will restore your soul, total restoration , therefore, I decree peace to your soul. Say this to yourself: Father in the name of Jesus, from this day henceforth, I ask for the complete restoration to my soul that I won't have to tell anyone but everyone will notice the peace of God that supercede all understanding is in me. Thank You Jesus, Amen!

LightWord: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8 Like most App on our smart phones and other gadgets needs to be update often time for better performances, the same way our lives need an updates. A life not updated will be out of date, obsolete , and a life that is out of date will not be relevant though still alive. Our Creator (God) never wants our life to be irrelevant. And the only way that can be is to keep updating our lives. How? By tuning in to His Word every moment to find directions in the journey of life ( Psalm 119:105 ). Action point: Be disciplined, determined and dedicated to creating time out of no time, mostly early mornings to first study God's Word, devotionals like LightWord. Pray with the Word and get everything you may need! Joh

LightWord: “Good friend, don’t forget all I’ve taught you; take to heart my commands. They’ll help you live a long, long time, a long life lived full and well.” Proverbs 3:1-2 MSG In making the most of this year, don't forget, the third nuggets is to make sure you do nothing this year but as been led by the Holy Spirit. And next is, always look for means to be a blessing instead of waiting to be blessed. Then finally, develop yourself in capacity and character. All these are information powerful enough to bring transformation into your life as it was inspired by the Holy Spirit in writing them. Keep engaging in them productively so. Say this to yourself: Thank You Father for Your Light that is illuminating my path. I know I won't be the same again. I'm a new person, by Your grace I am fulfilled this year in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “Good friend, don’t forget all I’ve taught you; take to heart my commands. They’ll help you live a long, long time, a long life lived full and well.” Proverbs 3:1-2 MSG I believe God with you that you'll make the most of this year, you will become a new you and you'll begin to live your best life now as you keep engaging in these five nuggets of the Word of faith to living a new life. Remember, the first thing is that you have to give thanks to God for last year . If you haven't done so, it is never late to be right, genuinely do that today. Second thing is to praise God in advance for the remaining months of this year. Say this to yourself: Father of Light, thank You for Your light that is to shine on my path in making the most of this year, blessed be Your Holy Name. Hallelujah!!!

LightWord: “So, brothers and sisters, choose seven of your men who have a good reputation. They must be full of wisdom and the Spirit. We will give them this work to do.” Acts 6:3 ERV It is important for you to know that you cannot substitute capacity for character or the vice-versa because whatever capacity delivered, it is character that sustains it . Capacity to me is like the beauty of a lady while character is her good behaviour. Her beauty might get her a husband so quick but her character deficiency may cause her to lose the husband so quick. Say this to yourself: Father of heaven, I pray, help me to give it whatever it takes. I refuse to be the same, I declare I am full of wisdom and of a good character in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.” Revelation 21:5 As we are getting to the conclusion of this series, I want to believe you've been informed and imparted on how to live a new life and become a better you in this new year. Years comes and goes yet it's in your hands to make this year count for good for you . The fifth nuggests was on the two legs needed to run this year race and also to win the race which are capacity and character. And you cannot substitute one for another. Say this to yourself: I'm blessed of God, I'm filled with the Holy Spirit, I'm living and experiencing a new life now and I'm fulfilled to the glory of God in this year in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 Cultivating a good behaviour makes you better than you . Opens to you an experience of a new life. And like I said earlier, all you need is the Holy Spirit, so that you won't keep failing while trying to work on your behaviour. In our focal Scripture of today, it doesn't say the work of the Spirit, that is, you don't strive, struggle to do that, it's the fruit, which means you just surrender. You never see a tree groaning to produce fruits. Fruits happens natural, slowly and grows. Say this to yourself: Holy Spirit, I am ready for You. Come into my life, come and stay. Help me have communion with You all day all time that Your fruit might be evidence in my life in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. But he refused.” Genesis 39:7 The Holy Spirit in you can truly help you produce fruits of good characters without much of your own effort. Just in surrendering yourself to Him as Joseph did; he by the Spirit of God refused to sleep with the master's wife, the Bible says he fled (Gen.39:7-20) . This is what many young men today without the Holy Spirit will call helper of destiny, not knowing it is the opposite. Joseph was gifted, yet it was by the Spirit of God that make him to behave in such manner. That cause God to be merciful unto him, favour him and prosper him (Gen.39:21-23) . Say this to yourself: Holy Spirit my helper, I ask for Your help, not only this year but all the days of my entire life, to live to please God in cultivating good characters even when it seem unpleasant in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: "...let’s not just talk about love; let’s practice real love. This is the only way we’ll know we’re living truly, living in God’s reality. It’s also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when there is something to it." 1 John 3:18-19 MSG Here are 10practical quotes about love: 6) “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.” —Martin Luther King, Jr. 7) “You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.” —Henry Drummond 8) “Trust is the foundation of love.” —Michael Aremu 9) “The more one judges, the less one loves.” —Honoré de Balzac 10) “The first duty of love is to listen.” —Paul Tillich Say this to yourself: I declare I know the love of Christ which passes knowledge, and I'm filled with all the fulness of God in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward...” 1 Samuel 16:13 You could imagine how David though uneducated yet had a great behaviour that he was accepted by everyone including kings. The question is how does thag happened? The answer is simple, he has the Spirit of God upon his life and that really helped him so. It is not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts. The spirit of God upon David produces good characters in Him . He behave wisely, more wisely, very wisely. Gift is not enough, you likewise need to cultivate good habit this year to really emerge a success. Say this to yourself: Spirit of the living God I invite You into my life this year, renew my mind and cause a great transformation in my life in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.” 1 Samuel 18:5 It was reported in our focal Scripture of today that David behaved himself wisely, therefore, he was accepted by the king, the people and even before everyone. Not only does he behaved himself wisely; but also it was recorded in that same Scripture the progression of his behaviour. He behaved himself wisely, very wisely and even more wisely than all his colleagues ( 1Sam.18:14&15&30 ). That is, he kept on working on his behaviour and he emerge a successful being, fulfilled! Action Point: Sincerely write down all your bad habits that you want to let go even from now, and humbly cry to the Holy Spirit to help you purge them out by His power in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord : “I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way.” Psalm 101:2 Work towards changing your bad attitude this year. Cultivate good behaviours. Learn it and practice it. Ask God for help. Even when isn't that convenient, keep building towards good attitude, let people smell it from you; the reward is out of this world. Your life will really change if you change (replace) your bad habit of entertaning yourself with the good habit of educating yourself . Start reading books, attending seminars, taking courses that will change your life, develop a disciplined prayer life. And you will thank yourself for helping yourself. Say this to yourself: Thank You Father because by the special grace of God I'm done with the life of indiscipline. My life is worth a living this year and I shall be fulfilled in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.” 1 Corinthians 9:24 Developing your capacity as one of the leg to run in this year race and to emerge a winner is into your skills. While the second leg is your character. And character is major on your attitude. While trying your best to developing your skills, also look into yourself from within and evaluate your characters . How solid is your character? Are there some behaviours that you yourself know isn't good enough, or those that people point to. You may think they don't really matter, but my brother and sister, they do matter. Change! Say this to yourself: Spirit of the living God, I ask You to come into my life and purge me of all my wrongs attitude I'm not willing to let go easily, help me Lord in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.” 1 Corinthians 9:24 In any race, it takes two legs to participate. And the two legs needed to participate in the race of another year like this, is essentially capacity and character. Don't forget, we are all in this race but only one receives the prize; so run that you may obtain. Capacity is into your skills. Seeking and gaining more knowledge in your field, how you can do and become better in your career, business, academy, ministry. How you can well manage your time, task, resources and finance. Say this to yourself: Father thank You for Your light that is illuminating my path. Lord, I refuse to be the same this year, as I rise up to taking responsibility, help strengthen me in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.” 1 Corinthians 9:24 Nothing just happened! Everything that work are worked by men, then God give it a finishing touch. If you will also give it all it takes by developing yourself in character and capacity, developing more skills in your field Then you will be amaze how things work and not by luck. I pray for you today for the grace to wake up from your sleeping state to taking responsibility, living a life of discipline, giving it what it takes, let that grace rest upon you now. In this new race of another year, you are in it to win it. Say this to yourself: Father I want to be a wonder to many in this year, help me Lord in giving it what and all it takes by Your grace in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all...” 1 Corinthians 15:10 For this year to be a year with difference, experiencing newness of life, then, you need to build up yourself so well in character and capacity. Don't settle for less neither for average. There is still room for more: A better way your attitude could be. A more better knowledge you can add to the ones you already know. Warning: don't be part of those who suggest "things just happen"; or those who think "some people are just lucky". There's nothing as luck in excelling. You give it what it takes. ( 1Cor.15:10) Say this to yourself: Father, I pray for the Spirit of wisdom and strength by Your grace in doing what I need to do and consistently so to become the best of me You've ordained me to be in Jesus' name. Amen!
