“Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord.”(Ephesians 5:14-17).
When we receive light from God’s Word on any issue in life, we are expected to respond by taking action(s). We ought not to stay idle. We should rather walk with the wisdom of God laid bare before us- forgetting past experiences lest we remain stagnant.
Divine illumination or revelation always comes with instructions that birth new experiences and success if we heed to them. The Word of God which we believe and study always impact our minds first, helping us make the right mental shifts and adjustments. Gradually, we churn our views and perceptions over and over until our outlook is aligned with God’s will. When this happens, we experience newness- a new phase, the next level!
It is our obligation to make the most use of kairos (God’s time/your season of blessing). Every divine instruction we obey will usher us into kairos. Outside of kairos, the days are evil. Stay with the Word. Each time you do, light comes to you, evil is shut out and you access new heights- God’s glory dawning on you.
Light comes with instructions when you meditate on the Word. If you would obey the instructions, you will always find yourself within kairos. It is up to you to treasure divine commands. Your decision determines what you see. Without hesitation, be focused on ensuring that your thoughts and life are patterned after God’s Word. This decision breeds blessings. Make the best use of the blessings that comes your way. Shun nonchalance! You will definitely grow, increase and be mightily blessed but then, learn to treat what you have the way God wants it to be treated. Increase and multiplication will not be far from you when you do.
If you are stagnant and not moving forward, there must be something you are just not doing right. The Bible says, “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.” (Prov 21:2). Get back to God and you will find your feet again. He will open it all to you when you obey His instructions.
The wisdom of God is key and vital to every Christian for it sees far and tells you to do today that which your environment neither sees nor understands. It tells you to make sacrifices people may say is sheer stupidity but then, it is the mind of God! Divine intelligence helps you make the best decisions. This wisdom is not cheap and easy to come by. You must covert it, consciously ask for it in prayer and diligently meditate on the Word of God. Do not wait anymore! Make out time to seek for divine intelligence-illumination and light- through the Word. You will not be able to fathom the result you will get!
