Are You Alive ?

"In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it"
John 1 :4-5 (New King James Version)

Praise the Lord ! I know its been a while... But I hope you remember the last time we meditated together on this verse. For those of you who dont remember you can check out the earlier post on http://sparksablaze.blogspot.com/ .

Today we will look at the second half of verse 4 "and the life was the light of men". If we still choose to walk in darkness that means we are 'Dead' ! What makes us alive ? Christ ! And He is the light of men. When we make a decision to follow Christ then we need to understand that we cannot allow any dead matter to retain within us .

Have you ever said to yourself "Why do I exist ? Why am I alive ??" Well the answer is powerful and yet simple "BECAUSE GOD ORDAINED IT " .

Sometimes when things get tough we tend to think "Maybe I was just a mistake" Well here is what the word of God says in John 1 :12-13 "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." Christ makes us alive ! Its only in Him that we are alive ! He is the light ! Anything that is not of Him is darkness . Its as simple as that . And you know what ? When we receive Him into our lives He gives us the right to become what ? Children of God !!

Now for those of us thinking "i have no purpose..im just a mistake.....why am I alive".... Listen carefully to what the word of God says ...We are born not because our parents decided to have a kid.... we are not born because of just an act of the flesh.... No no no !! WE WERE BORN BECAUSE OF THE WILL OF GOD !
The fact that we are alive today is because God has purposes for us ! This life is to be used for His glory ! This body is His temple dedicated to be Holy !!

We all now know why we are alive physically . But how many of us are spiritually alive ? Is there any dead matter thats holding you back ? Its time for a breakthrough today ! Its time to get down on our knees and cry out to the Lord ! Not just for ourselves to be set free but for us to rise up as a generation for the Lord !! Its time to BE ALIVE ! Are you ready ? If you want to be prayed for to be renewed, to be set free, any prayer request ... please mail it in. Its time... Let Christ and Christ alone be Lord of our lives !

God Bless
