LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

This is a prayer for anyone who has made Jesus Christ their Lord and Saviour but has strayed from the path of righteousness and would like to find their way back. Oh Lord I give my life to you Take me as I am and shape me to be like you Use me to better your kingdom Help me that I will not miss it Rewrite my name in the Book of Life  That I may dwell in your presence all of my days In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen   To rededicate: give entirely to a person, activity or cause. By saying this prayer you have given yourself entirely to the Lord. You have been renewed in Him, all of your past sins have been erased and you are once again a candidate for His kingdom.  Colossians 2 :6-7 6  And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7  Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankful...

By Oseyi Omokhoa So on Sunday evening, my twitter account was blocked accidentally. Initially I was disappointed and sad, sadder than I had expected to be. That shocked me because logically I knew that it was just an account and I really shouldn’t feel so low because my account can be restored. I did some self-reflection that night along with some prayers of course and I was led to do a complete social media fast for 24 hours. Since then and I have had a few revelations concerning social media: Revelations (through consumption clichés) An apple everyday keeps the doctor away; it depends on the apple, is it mouldy or fresh? The apple is the content we consume, are we taking in content that will edify [1] our spirits or feed our flesh [2] ? The truth is that the only ‘fresh apple’ is the Word of God. If we want to go deeper into the metaphor then the ‘doctor’ is deliverance [3] . Basically if we constantly digest the Word and allow it to work in us we won’t have need for del...

This is a Prayer for anyone who has decided to make Jesus Christ their Saviour and wants to accept the gift of Salvation.    Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Saviour You died on the cross for me You shed your blood for me Thank you Jesus for deciding that I was worth saving Holy Spirit come and dwell in me now and forever Guide me on the path of Righteousness Help me that I will not go astray And purify me from all of my sins Thank you Lord for loving me  In Jesus name I pray Amen!     Salvation is a gift that has been made available to us through the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary (Matthew 27-28). His blood was shed in the place of ours, he was the sacrificial lamb that was slain so we could all have everlasting life If you have just prayed this prayer, Congratulations you have now entered the body of Christ. You have been made a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17) and you have inherited the Kingdom ! (Matthew...

By Oseyi Omokhoa When I was a brand new believer, one of my favourite verses was Psalm 20:4, “May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed”. I thought this meant that now that I have Jesus on my side, all of my wishes would become a reality. Obviously I was watching too much Disney. Then I came across Proverbs 16:3, “Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed”. I thought, okay, calm. I just have all of my trust in God and I will get what I want. Not quite there yet. Recently, God revealed Proverbs 16:19, “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps” which means that I can plan out my life all the way from birth to death, I can cry out in prayer until my tongue twists but if it is not God’s plan for my life then I am just wasting my breath. All our lives we are asked, ‘what do you want to do with your life?’ From primary school all the way to university. But we need to start asking God what He wants to do with our lives. We nee...

By Oseyi Omokhoa Mission Scripture: Ephesians 6:12 “ 12  For we are not fighting a gains t fles h-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” “Light in the Darkness” is what every Christian is called to be. A role that consists of shedding light and sharing our light with the masses. Correcting assumptions about Christians, teaching the Word of God, correcting misinterpretations of the Word and covering topical issues from the view of a Christian. That verse is the foundation of this project; in this time of hatred and violence we must remember that the people who partake in racism, xenophobia etc. are under the influences of evil powers. Now I’m not saying that they are not responsible for their actions because they definitely are, what I’m trying to say is that as Christians our first reaction shouldn’t be anger and retaliation but praye...
