WHAT DID YOU DO?


I was at home and we had some visitors, so I decided to go upstairs to my mother's room to pray and study since she was busy with cooking in the kitchen. As I laid on the bed, I saw on the platform where she keeps things, a small quantity of sugar wrapped in nylon but engrossed by some tiny ants. Immediately, I took the sugar and dropped it on the floor where the rays of light coming from the sun can penetrate it. Then, I continued my prayers.
Suddenly, I heard the voice of God saying to me, *'Son, what did you do to the sugar?'*
I replied, I exposed it to sunlight! Then, God spoke again, *why didn't you start killing the ants one by one?*

I said, because I will be wasting time and of course no matter the number of ants, when the sugar is exposed to light, they will all disappear.
Then, God said, *Son, expose your life to light of the word when the 'ants' of worry, lack, pains, trials come to you. Don't attack the problem, just expose your life to the word of God, and the problem will be solved (disappear)*
Brothers and Sisters, what are the 'ants' surrounding your 'sugar' right now? Is it lack, delay, joblessness, barrenness, dryness, failure, disappointment, all manner of sinful habits and the vicissitudes of life? Simply, expose your life to the 'light of the word'.
Have you read the temptation of Jesus? I mean did you study it? What did you see? For me, I saw the exact illustration above in that context. Jesus had exposed Himself to the light of the scriptures and the enemy was unable to have a free run.
Do you know what would have happened to that small quantity of sugar? Little by little, the ants would have sucked it up and left nothing there. That is exactly the enemies' agenda for you and me but we are able to stop them when we are exposed to light, not by 'killing' them

Extreme Faith

One man from Ayetoro Ekiti in Ido Osi Local Govt of Ekiti State in Nigeria and he does carpentry work. This man, every morning, passes in front of a Church on his way to work. One day he took a decision that he must go into the Church at the chapel to greet JESUS before going to his work. So each day he passes the Church he will go to the chapel and say "JESU mo ya ki o ni o " meaning "JESUS l ‘m here to greet you" he did this for many years and it became part of hm. One day he went to work as usual and fell down from the roof where he was working and had a spinal cord injury, he was taken to many hospitals and there was no remedy to his health and he became paralyzed. One day at the hospital where he was on his sick bed without hope, his wife left him alone in the room to bring something from the house. A man who dressed in white walked into the room and greeted him saying, " awe mi mo ya ki o " meaning my friend l have come to greet you. JESUS came to visit him since he couldn't come to visit Him as usual. And the sick man said Thank You, the visitor left and this man started to notice changes on his body, and to his greatest surprise, he got up and sat down on the bed still thinking if it was a dream when his wife came and saw him sitting down she thought it was a Ghost and raised alarm ran out from the room. The Doctor and Nurses rushed to the room thinking the sick man is dead, when the Doctor first entered and saw the man sitting comfortably, he also ran back, before he decided to ask him what happened and the healed man told him all that happened, the hospital was full of praises. He was visiting JESUS daily for many years but one singular visit by JESUS changed his hopelessness to joy!
