SHADOW
Text: Job 8:9
[9](For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)

While growing up, we love walking around light that will reflect our image either on the wall or on the floor, we will jump and make mockery of how the image formed from the resulting light on our body doesn't really have the exact shape and look of our body. Sometimes, we'll laugh off the big head this image has added to our heads, sometimes, the limbs will be bigger, the height increased and we'll just mock the image. Shadow is a rough sketch or reflection of something, it's not the real deal.

The scripture above clearly stated that our days here are just a shadow. Shadow of what? The life a natural man lives here is just a rough projection of the life beyond here, it's not the real life. We are just of yesterday, many peoples have passed this same path like us, so, we know absolutely nothing because our lives here is a shadow. That's the reason Jesus admonishes us to keep our minds and focus on the things above because that's the real deal.

If you concentrate all your efforts on the life here, and you make mockery of the life beyond here, how then can you reconcile the gap between the shadow and the reality? Jesus has come to give us a template, showing us the life that is being shadowed here on earth, so we are not just living a shadowed life anymore, but we already have the real deal with us. John 3:16 made us understand that we now have eternal life because we believe in Christ. The life of the spirit is the real life. 

THINK TANK: The knowledge of Christ has translated us into living the life of God.

PRAYER: Father, help me to concentrate my life on your finished work in Jesus Name.

IT'S ALREADY PREPARED

DAILY DIVINE WORD  (A Sunset Devotional) 26th July, 2025 THEME : It's Prepared Already. SCRIPTURAL REFERENCE : Mark 14: 12-15: 12 - Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?" 13 - And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. 14 - Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, "The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"' 15 - Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us." If a man knows what has been prepared for him and when exactly it will come to him, maybe we would worry less, maybe we won't even be anxious over anything as the scripture advised us. But, the mystery about life and about walking with...

DAILY DIVINE WORD 5TH MAY 2021

Wednesday, 5th May 2021 TOPIC : ACCESS TO THE HILL TEXT : Ps.24.3-5: 3. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4. He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. RECENTLY there was a post by someone on social media who claimed that at the RCCG Redemption Camp, she left her reading glass on the altar believing God for miracles, and according to her she came back the following day to pick up her glasses and she will never believe anything again. This is a sad reality, that our young minds are looking for God's hands when we should focus on God's face. However, everyone desire to stand at the hills of God, everyone wants to stand at his Holy place because they understand that is where his blessings reside. But the question that has been asked for ages is "Who shall ...

DAILY DIVINE WORD 26TH JANUARY 2021

TOPIC: GUARD YOUR FREEDOM. TEXT:  1Cor.8.9 - But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 1Cor.8.10 - For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 1Cor.8.11 - And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 1Cor.8.12 - But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 1Cor.8.13 - Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. TRUTHFULLY  Christ came to deliver freedom to us, Christ's freedom is also freedom indeed because He says "if the son shall set you free, you shall be free indeed." He has given us freedom from traditions, laws, old practices, superstitions, tales, and the likes. So we have liberty in J...
