TOPIC: Keep the Lamp Burning
TEXT: Luke.12.35 - Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 - And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
At the beginning of every year, most people deliberately have lists of their expectations and goals for the new year, some have resolution and updating their commitment to God and rightly so. However, the part that is common to most is that not all get to fulfill these goals and expectations, while everyone starts brightly, majority drops off at the middle of the journey.
As we considered yesterday, Jesus instructed the disciples to ensure that their lamps are ever burning. The reason Jesus had to give this charge was because He understood that at a point their will be storms and wind that will threaten the fire on the lamp, however if a man would decide to sustain the fire on the lamp, he will have to go extra mile to keep the fire burning.
As we journey through this year, it is important that we rely totally on God as we become resolute to keep the fire burning irrespective of what will come our ways. Let us fix our gaze on God who is able to keep us and keep our fire burning. May your fire keep burning until the end in Jesus Name.
THINK TANK: When all chips are down, remember the fire needs to keep burning.
PRAYER: Father, I hand over my fire to you, please help me to keep burning always in Jesus Name.
Amen! My gaze is on you Lord... Thank you sir
