You Are Light

By

In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.—Matthew 5:16

There is no mistaking the effect of light upon a darkened place. Light boldly and unabashedly announces its presence and vigorously dispels darkness. God's desire is to fill you with His light. He wants you to shine as a brilliant testimony of His presence and power in your life, so that the darkness in the lives of those around you will be displaced by the light of God's glory.

If, however, you notice the world around you becoming darker and darker, don't blame the darkness! It is simply doing what darkness does. The only remedy for darkness is light. If the world is becoming darker, the problem is not with the darkness. The problem is with the light. Jesus said His disciples should be the “light of the world” (Matt. 5:14). What an awesome responsibility—to be the ones through whom God would shine His divine light and dispel the darkness from around others! In announcing His own coming, Jesus said, “The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, / And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death / Light has dawned” (Matt. 4:16).

There was no ignoring Jesus' arrival upon earth! Darkness was dispelled! Everywhere Jesus went, God's truth was boldly proclaimed, people were healed, hypocrisy was exposed, and sinners found forgiveness. The world was never the same once the Father introduced His light through His Son. Can that be said of you as well? Do your coworkers recognize the light that is within you? Does the presence of Christ radiate from your home into your community? When God's light is allowed to shine unhindered through your life, the darkness around you will be dispelled.

YinkaMacs: Collection of CorelDraw Macro Tools 2023

By
A lot of time is saved by using macros to automate series of repetitive tasks. It gives you quick access to a lot of functions that are barely difficult to use / achieve. YinkaMacs is a collection of several CorelDraw tools used for my day-to-day works. Though these tools/macros cost me a lot of time, research and efforts, but I decided to share it freely to help fellow CorelDraw users.

HYMN: O weary heart, there is a home | Okan aare ile kan mbe

By
ENGLISH LYRICS: O weary heart, there is a home But He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be save. Matt.24:13 1.  O weary heart, there is a home, Beyond the reach of toil and care, A home where changes never come: Who would not fain be resting there? Chorus: Oh wait, meekly wait, and murmur not! Oh wait, meekly wait, and murmur not, Oh wait, oh wait, oh wait, and murmur not! 2. Yet when bowed down beneath the load By heaven allowed, thine earthly lot; Look up! Thou' it reach that blest abode Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not! 3. If in thy path some thorns are found, Oh, think who bore them on His brow,' If grief thy sorrow heart has found, It reached a holier than thou. 4. Toil on! Nor deem, though sore it be, One sigh unheard, one pray'r forgot; The day of rest will dawn for thee Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not! Amen.
