Jesus stated, <b><i>\u201cYou are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.\u201d (Matthew 5:14)<\/i><\/b> The word of God is light. Do you carry enough of it to be able to see through in this world?<\/p>\n<p>Nothing passes through God without God knowing it. Absolutely, undoubtedly He sees it all. As man continues to go and grow far from God because of sin and sinning, God whose nature does not tolerate sin withdraws Himself from man. <b><i>Roman 3:23<\/i><\/b> buttresses it saying, <b><i>\u201cFor all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God\u201d<\/i><\/b> The glory of God, which is His presence, is not full but short in the life of man because of sin. Despite the shortage of His grace as a result of man\u2019s sin, God still has mercy on man. Imagine how beautiful it will be for those who are far from sin and how full the manifestation of His glory in their life will be?<\/p>\n<p>It must have been hard on Jesus when He asked, <b><i>\u201c\u2026when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?\u201d<\/i><\/b> The Bible makes us realize that faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. (Romans 10:17) It is not possible to hear God and not live by the word. Not doing the word is evidence of not having heard the word. Jesus is actually asking that if he comes is there going to be a believer that is living by the word (To believe His word is to be living the word). Living the word is what makes man to be on a ground that is the same as that of Abraham, a ground where revelation is not rare but widespread.<\/p>\n<p>It worthy to come out of religion and come to a position of receiving revelation that transforms by living faithfully like Abraham. Know that faith is a sacrifice and is not convenient; not cheap but costly. It is a commitment; a lifestyle to live for God and it enhances the flow of revelation from God. The Church should be making the difference allowing widespread revelation. However, the world has taken the opposite direction by turning away from God. Turn away from the world and turn to God; be privileged of God, take to a faithful way of living life and revelation will flow from God to turn your world around. Remember, <b><i>\u201cWhere there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint\u2026\u201d (Proverbs 29:18)<\/i><\/b> More revelation breeds more restraints and the avoidance of evil occurrences.<\/p>\n<p><b>Prayer for today:<\/b> <i>Ask God to direct your heart into the fear of His Holy name and into the patience of Christ. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; FAITH CAPSULE: It is a commitment and a lifestyle to live for God Matthew 5 The world is full of wickedness and darkness clouds the world for those who does not have Jesus indeed and in truth.
