- 0:00Speaker 1: For unto us was the gospel preached as well as
- 0:03Speaker 1: one to them. But the world preached did not profit
- 0:06Speaker 1: them because their faith.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Did not feed on the world.
- 0:09Speaker 1: The Word of God is the life support of our feet.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Relieve by the world of God.
- 0:16Speaker 2: God.
- 0:20Speaker 3: Blessed be God for eternity. John Chapter one, verse four.
- 0:27Speaker 3: In him was life, and the life was the light
- 0:32Speaker 3: of men. In him was life, and the life was
- 0:37Speaker 3: the light of men. Welcome to faith with episode one
- 0:41Speaker 3: hundred and fifty one, the light of men, light of men.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Every time a believer does something, there is a light
- 0:53Speaker 3: that reflects from his actions. This light is the product
- 0:57Speaker 3: of the kind of life he has lived or the
- 1:00Speaker 3: kind of life he lives. In the world today, in
- 1:03Speaker 3: as much as darkness grows, darkness covers the entire eight people,
- 1:08Speaker 3: men are looking for light to hold onto. The problem
- 1:12Speaker 3: of the world is not darkness. It is the ability
- 1:15Speaker 3: to see light, because darkness is the default mood that
- 1:18Speaker 3: we are born into. And now the Scripture presents to
- 1:21Speaker 3: us that in Jesus we find.
- 1:24Speaker 1: The life that gives us the light look.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Chapter sistained, reading from verse one to tateen, Jesus tells
- 1:32Speaker 3: us about a setting parable and shows us in vest
- 1:35Speaker 3: is that the children of this world are in their
- 1:38Speaker 3: generation wiser than the children of light.
- 1:42Speaker 1: The children.
- 1:43Speaker 3: That means the default state of the children of Light
- 1:46Speaker 3: is that the luck wisdom. That is why James tells
- 1:49Speaker 3: us that eve any of your luck with ms you
- 1:50Speaker 3: are so that in every season, in every stage of
- 1:54Speaker 3: a man that is of light, in every stage, in
- 1:56Speaker 3: every phase of his life, he's seeking his constant at
- 2:00Speaker 3: least seeking the wisdom of God. For James Wan tells
- 2:03Speaker 3: us that anyone who actes God will give God give
- 2:07Speaker 3: it freely and upbraided. Not you need wisdom, or even
- 2:10Speaker 3: as you have the life of Christ, you need to
- 2:13Speaker 3: act for wisdom. But the thing here is that many
- 2:16Speaker 3: people don't ask for wisdom because they haven't learned to
- 2:19Speaker 3: delight themselves in the Lord. Let's go back to the
- 2:22Speaker 3: Old Testament Psalm thirty seven. The Bible tells us that
- 2:25Speaker 3: we should delight vers for delight yourself in the Lord,
- 2:27Speaker 3: and he will bring your desires to pass. Your desire
- 2:30Speaker 3: is not a problem. The wisdom to navigate to a
- 2:33Speaker 3: preaton the world is not a problem. But you must
- 2:35Speaker 3: delight yourself first in the Lord. Then the bet verse
- 2:38Speaker 3: I said was commit your ways onto him. Now, how
- 2:41Speaker 3: do you This is the way of activisomble, this way
- 2:43Speaker 3: of seeking wisdom. Remember prove telling loss what we should
- 2:46Speaker 3: trust in the Lord. We should not lean on our
- 2:47Speaker 3: own understanding. So we are leaning too much on the understanding.
- 2:50Speaker 3: We are leaning too much on being not confirmed. Remember
- 2:53Speaker 3: romans that off he says, do not be confirmed, but
- 2:55Speaker 3: being transformed by the way. So people focus more on
- 2:58Speaker 3: being not confirmed than being trans So your gender, your
- 3:02Speaker 3: focus as a believer, is being transformed by the renewing
- 3:04Speaker 3: of your mind, which is.
- 3:06Speaker 1: By the world of God, that you will be able
- 3:08Speaker 1: to know.
- 3:09Speaker 3: The Bible says, will descend the good will, the perfectly
- 3:11Speaker 3: unacceptable will. I would say, wisdom. It's as simple as that.
- 3:15Speaker 3: So the Bible come back to some states of burposes.
- 3:17Speaker 3: Committe your ways on to entrust also in Him, and
- 3:20Speaker 3: He will bring you to pass in that says he
- 3:22Speaker 3: will bring forth. That's after this scenerio, after this structure
- 3:26Speaker 3: of your committee. He says that you will bring forth
- 3:28Speaker 3: your righteousness as a light, and is the light of
- 3:31Speaker 3: men that you are looking that you are trying to
- 3:33Speaker 3: what it is God that does it? It's not you
- 3:35Speaker 3: for your most face, fulfill the word preliminar, delight yourself
- 3:40Speaker 3: in Him. So the question is how do you delight
- 3:43Speaker 3: your say even as they believer, because all you need
- 3:45Speaker 3: is to believe in Jesus Christ. It's simple prohabs is
- 3:47Speaker 3: in there. So it says true desire. Other translations missing
- 3:50Speaker 3: that previous. For King James tells us a true desire
- 3:52Speaker 3: a man having separated himself. So there is a form
- 3:55Speaker 3: of separation when desire has been setting. So that's the
- 3:58Speaker 3: form that's the delighting yourself. It's a sikeret and intermingled
- 4:01Speaker 3: with all wisdom. So when you have considered this approach,
- 4:06Speaker 3: this system, this structure, this way, you will be able
- 4:10Speaker 3: to have the life that produces the light of men.
- 4:13Speaker 3: It is the accident, it is how, it is the
- 4:16Speaker 3: process through desire. The Bible tells us that the world
- 4:21Speaker 3: is a larm to our feet and a light to
- 4:24Speaker 3: our part. So you must understand that this light is
- 4:27Speaker 3: God that consits it to shining. It is God that
- 4:30Speaker 3: brings forth your righteousness as his life. What you need
- 4:32Speaker 3: to do is for delight yourself in and whip pature.
- 4:34Speaker 3: So if God is the one that brings for light,
- 4:37Speaker 3: from you that makes your life become the light of men.
- 4:42Speaker 3: That means there is something you must consider about the
- 4:45Speaker 3: activities that you do that you build on, for it
- 4:48Speaker 3: is what you build over time on, not what you
- 4:51Speaker 3: build once.
- 4:52Speaker 1: That's why staying with.
- 4:53Speaker 3: The world, preaching the world, building on the world, that
- 4:57Speaker 3: is what transforms your life and make you a light
- 5:01Speaker 3: to men. My two chapter five reading from Beset fourteen. Yeah,
- 5:06Speaker 3: the light of the world. A city that is set
- 5:08Speaker 3: on our heel cannot be hid. Neither do men light
- 5:12Speaker 3: a candle and put it under ebowshel, but on a candlestick,
- 5:16Speaker 3: and it.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Giveth light onto the hole, onto all that are in
- 5:20Speaker 1: the hearts. Let your light so shine before.
- 5:24Speaker 3: Men, that they may see your good works and verify
- 5:28Speaker 3: your father, which is in heaven. Jesus started by telling
- 5:31Speaker 3: us who we are, as people that believe in him.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Then he begins to tell us that we cannot hide.
- 5:36Speaker 3: It is impost as not that we believe in him.
- 5:38Speaker 3: It is impossible for us to be hid. Then En
- 5:41Speaker 3: goes on to explain the fact that it is abnormal
- 5:45Speaker 3: to be in darkness. So our default mood, because we
- 5:50Speaker 3: would offer, but our default mood is light.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Then not tells us our purpose, which is.
- 5:55Speaker 3: To give light onto all within our sphere, within our vary,
- 6:00Speaker 3: within our territory. Then he now commends us and tells
- 6:05Speaker 3: us that we should shine. Remember as I assisted, since,
- 6:07Speaker 3: arise and shine, for the light has come.
- 6:09Speaker 1: For your light has come, and the glory of God
- 6:11Speaker 1: is with u Honi.
- 6:12Speaker 3: Because why there is a gross darkness, So God, you
- 6:15Speaker 3: must understand that God brings light out of darkness. That's
- 6:20Speaker 3: where you begin to understand the work of Jesus Christ
- 6:22Speaker 3: in the life of a man. So God makes light
- 6:25Speaker 3: to shine from the heart of a man. Second Corinthians
- 6:29Speaker 3: for their six for God who commanded the light. Remember
- 6:34Speaker 3: an episode I did on the commanded lights. He says,
- 6:36Speaker 3: to shine out of darkness. I explain this very well,
- 6:39Speaker 3: to shine in our hearts, to give the light of
- 6:42Speaker 3: the knowledge of the glory of God in the face
- 6:44Speaker 3: of Jesus Christ. There is a purpose to that. So
- 6:46Speaker 3: I did that in an episode. You can find that latter.
- 6:48Speaker 3: So what I'm trying to create here is the fact
- 6:52Speaker 3: that you believe in Christ. And because you believe in Christ,
- 6:56Speaker 3: it is impossible.
- 6:58Speaker 1: For you to hand and the only way for you
- 7:02Speaker 1: to ensure you.
- 7:04Speaker 3: Navigate the system of the world. Effectively, is that you
- 7:08Speaker 3: seek the wisdom of God. Remember prove us it's in
- 7:11Speaker 3: dimension and James one. So now the next verse not
- 7:14Speaker 3: says verse seven, but we have this treasure in eighteen versus.
- 7:18Speaker 1: That's believer us that the excellency of the power may
- 7:22Speaker 1: be of God.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Remember when I said it is God that commands our lights,
- 7:26Speaker 3: that what brings forth our righteousness, and say light, it
- 7:29Speaker 3: says well that the xcellity of the power may be
- 7:31Speaker 3: of God and not of us. So at the end
- 7:33Speaker 3: of the day, it is God that makes this light
- 7:34Speaker 3: towards shine. So when Jesus is saying, let your light
- 7:37Speaker 3: so shine before men, he's trying to say, give God
- 7:39Speaker 3: the advantage to.
- 7:40Speaker 1: What you do.
- 7:41Speaker 3: So whatever you do, remember his people that says, whatever
- 7:44Speaker 3: you do, let it be on to God and all that.
- 7:46Speaker 1: It is a mindset.
- 7:48Speaker 3: It is a frame of mind that you are not
- 7:50Speaker 3: just helping people because it is a good thing or
- 7:52Speaker 3: is a moral thing. No, it is because you are
- 7:55Speaker 3: giving the spirits of God the opportunity to shine to you.
- 7:59Speaker 1: It's not that you're works become the light.
- 8:01Speaker 3: No. Is the fact that it becomes a basis that
- 8:04Speaker 3: means the attitude, the mindset towards whatever you do, because
- 8:09Speaker 3: the light that you're giving on to men is a message,
- 8:11Speaker 3: and it is what will guide them to the right part.
- 8:16Speaker 3: I remain the faith campaigner of Christ. Remember, be God, wident,
- 8:20Speaker 3: Be God fiden. The Lord commands the angels of your
- 8:22Speaker 3: waders to be stared. The Lord lift up the light
- 8:24Speaker 3: of his continents upon you. Blessed be God for Eutnity King.
