LIGHT WORD

LightWord: “...those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness.” Proverbs 14:22 NIV Do you wake up every morning expecting favor and blessing on everything you do? Do you plan for what is good? When we plan for what is good, Scripture tells us that we find love. Ultimately, God is love which means when you plan for what is good, you will find God in the midst of your plans. Don’t let the negative voices of the world redirect you in the wrong direction. It doesn’t matter what is happening in the economy or your present circumstances, God’s plan is always for your good. Set your mind on good things and stay in agreement with God. You and God are a majority. Stay in step with Him, plan for what is good, and move forward into the life of victory He promised you! Say this to yourself: Father, thank You for the good plans You have for my life. I choose Your plan and ask that You direct my mind and thoughts according to Your purposes in Jesus’ Name. Amen!

LightWord: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 Develop a devotional life - have a consciously marked out schedule for studying the Bible and have a regular prayer time too. It could be ten (10) minutes every day, this time should increase as you grow. Never get tired of it. In this, you build your belief the more in God. Remember, your belief is going to take you to how you live. Work on yourself! One is never a failure until he start looking for who to blame for it. Be self-disciplined, be determined, be committed. Daily devotional guides like this LightWord would greatly help , because they help you know when you are backsliding - they help you easily know when you stop studying the Word (excuses of no time), and also helps you to understand and know more about God each day, building your faith for victory. (Dan.11:32b, Acts 17:11, Rom.10:17, 1John5:4.) Say this to yourself: Thank God...

LightWord: “They were devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” Acts 2:42 Feed your spirit regularly with God's word. Pray regularly for this is the way you build up yourself and grow. Feed your inner-man always. By so doing, you are simply building God in you and you in God. And you open up yourself for a world of exploits. 1 John 4:4 It is what you have within that will determine how you live without. Life has its own challenges and troubles, but when you are strong in your spirit, then you will be able to stand against anything that comes your way; and victory is sure, certain and guaranteed. Say this to yourself: Lord give me the required grace to build a strong relationship with You this year not to be conformed to this world but to be transformed as I mature spiritually by the renewing of my mind in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6 Our walk with God isn't perfect yet till we have faith, matured in faith and are stable in faith. No wonder, God said in His Word, that you are not pleased with Him until you have faith in Him. Faith is a universal currency. It carries the same purchasing power in every nation of the earth, because it draws on God’s omnipotence and integrity. Faith answers at the same level to all mankind; so your level of faith is what determines the level of command you exercise in the affairs of your life. Say this to yourself: Father by the power of the working faith at work in me, from now, henceforth, nothing becomes impossible, no situation becomes too hard for me again in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:12 The working faith has always been with the prove of being patience . If you cannot be patient, it shows your lack of faith in God because faith and patience works together. Abraham the father of faith proves his faith by being so patient Hebrews 6:15. That it doesn't happen immediately doesn't mean you don't have faith. Sometimes, God is not just preparing the evidence for you but also preparing you to carry the evidence. Psalm 46:10, Isaiah 28:16 Say this to yourself : Father, I thank You for I know that through my faith and patience, I will have and become everything You have ordained me to be in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for.” Hebrews 11:1 We must not dream of unbelief but hold to our faith even to seventy times seven. Faith sends expectant hope to look from Carmel's peak, and if nothing is seen, she sends again and again. A faith not anchored on hope is not the kind of faith that works . Faith and hope work together to deliver maximally. Scripture says, faith will only give substance to what you already hoped for. As vital as faith so is hope. Say this to yourself: Father, thank You for I put my hope in You, and in every area of my life, all my life, Father, let me not be put to shame in Jesus' name. Amen!

LightWord: “And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.” 1 Kings 18:43 Although you might have pleaded months after months without evidence of response, it is not possible that the Lord should be deaf when His people are serious about a matter that concerns His glory. The prophet on the top of Carmel continued to wrestle with God and never for a moment gave way to the fear that he would not be suited for Jehovah's courts. Six times the servant returned, but on each occasion no word was spoken but “Go again.” Say this to yourself: Father, thank You because I will never quit nor give up till You make me a praise for Your glory in Jesus' name. Amen!
