As indicated in yesterday’s introduction, we will be lighting Prophetess lights. Anna was brought to us. Who then is Anna? I am constrained to bring you all that is told about her in Luke 2: 36 – 38 , so that we can receive an illumination, as never received before. Let’s listen and be lit up. Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity; and this wo

On this Third Lord’s Day of Advent, with one more week to go before we celebrate the day designated as Advent Sunday, we are able to offer ourselves and more brightly burning lights to others, as God’s Advent Trees. Having received Angel lights and Shepherd lights, we are now receiving even more unusually shaped and little recognized lights. These are Prophetess lights. Who is a prophetess? In my own understanding I thought that a prophetess was a female prophet, being and do

Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them. Luke 2: 20. Earlier we were made curious about three huge-sized Advent bulbs, standing in our given text.  From where did the shepherds return? Why were they glorifying and praising God? What was told to them? We are ready to have the other two huge-sized Advent bulbs, turned on, as the first was lit from the question, From where did the shepherds ret

Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them. Luke 2: 20. As we draw near to the completion of this Advent Tree of Shepherd shaped lights, many of us are extremely anxious, with child-like excitement to receive the promised, three huge-sized Advent bulbs, from the text quoted above. Most assuredly, faith is energized and lifted by these most precious, calming, cocooning and ever intimate words of

Today, although we are continuing to be illuminated with shepherd lights, we have differently shaped and sized lights before us, which come from a different Bible text. Remember the base of the tree, that on which we are being enlightened, lightened and made brighter in our dark places, is this. Remember, the Lord shepherds you. We have been granted much learning from this verse. And there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their f

We come today, full of gratitude and faith-energized, as we see the illuminations in us that bring us back to who shepherds us. Reignited and rekindled in us so far, are these most glorious Advent Lights. We are shepherded by none other than Jesus, the Good Shepherd. Made ever bright in us is that our Lord, in shepherding us, never leaves it up to us to find pasture-land for ourselves. He shepherds us to be in the same place where He is so that we are not living one place and

Second Light of Sight and Insight to be switched on in us, in heart-changing manner is this. And there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields. This second sight being illuminated for us, as we read the given text is that shepherds were in the field. They were present, physically present in the fields with their flock. All eyes could see that the flock was not alone in the field. In fact, the verse gives us insightful information, when it describes the lif

I agree wholeheartedly that to say, Jesus shepherds me, means exactly the same thing in sense and truthfulness, as saying, the Lord is my Shepherd. Nevertheless, I challenge you to hear it differently in terms of being owned, and taken full care of by Jesus. What you are saying to all, without reserve, void of tentativeness, and absolutely free of wavering, are these personal truths and more. The Lord leads me. The Lord feeds me. The Lord protects me. The Lord corrects me. Th

On this Second Lord’s Day Sunday of Advent and during the coming week, our illumination will be on God’s shepherds. I begin with a simple and ordinary experience, but one which I trust will be precious and pertinent to you. I have a special WhatsApp sister who daily keeps fellowship with me and I keep fellowship with her. On one particular morning, when I was awakened and heard the word, shepherd, nothing else but, shepherd and was asking our Lord about it and to grant me res

As we are now at the end of the first week in Advent, we take this moment to be reminded of how we began the week. We were told that according to our faith, God would make us His living Advent illumination, as we received all angel shaped lights. What a fitting way to end with Jesus and angels. However, it is necessary and crucially so, to categorically state that Jesus is not an angel. The writer of Hebrews puts it plainly when he writes about Jesus, Who being the brightness
