Shut Out Of Light - Pastor William Kumuyi

By

DCLM Daily Manna Monday 18th July 2016

Key Verse: "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them"
- 2 Corinthians 4:3, 4

Text: 2 CORINTHIANS 4:1-6

The Theatre Arts magazine once recorded a most frustrating conversation. A subscriber dialed the magazine's number. "Sorry, " said the lady at the receiving end, "but there is nobody listed by the name of ‘Theodore Arts. '" The subscriber insisted. And the receiver repeated, "I told you, we have no listing for Theodore Arts. " By now the subscriber was yelling, "Confirm it, the word is ‘Theatre': T-H-E-A-T-R-E!" The operator came back with crushing finality: "That—is not the way to spell Theodore.

" Spell out the gospel as you may, there are people who will never grasp it. The simple reason for this is that their minds have been blinded by Satan. How sad it is today that there are people who have so mortgaged themselves to the devil that the preaching of the gospel has no converting effect on them.

For instance, those who have delved into certain occults are known to actively resist the light of the glorious gospel. Sadder still is the case of people who constantly sit under the plain teaching of God's word and yet remain blind, obstinate and unreformed.

They remain deluded but contented with their alarming spiritual state. Those who are still mind-blindfolded by the devil and shielded from the light of the true gospel should urgently bestir themselves, seek the Lord and sincerely call upon Him before their hopeless doom is sealed.

Thought for the day: The worst blindness is that of the mind, blind to the gospel

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...
