God
cares for us. He blesses us with great potentials to fulfill our callings on earth. Before we were formed in the womb of our mothers, He knew us and He has
assigned everyone for a mission to be fulfilled during our lifetime Jeremiah
1:5.
However, God
will only light our candles, it is our sole responsibilities to ensure that the
light is not quench by chain of events of life around us. Everyone is born to
fulfill a purpose. He lights up our candles to kick-start the fulfillment of His
prophecies. The process of lighting up the candle is a significant phase of
life which God ordained from above. Though He makes provisions for the fulfillment of His prophecies, He also gives us the willing power to choose the
path we want to take. Many lights had been quenched because the owners did not
guide the lights jealously. Some are distracted by fantasies of life and they
are consumed by it.
Samson was born to be a deliverer of Israel.
The light of his candle was quenched on the lap of Delilah and he became object
of ridicule. He eventually died with his enemies. His mission was aborted.
Judge 16:20-31. The light of Saul was quenched on the altar of disobedience,
his kingdom was torn and David took over the kingdom. I Samuel 15:22-23, 27-28.
Reuben lost his light as result of fornication. Genesis 49:3-4. Gehazi lost his
light because of covetousness II king 5:25-27. Judas lost his light because of
money Matthew 27:3-5.
God
rejoices when we accomplish our missions on earth. It is His pleasure when we move
on from glory to glory. He lights our candles and He wants to us to walk in the
right path of life so that our lights will not be quenched. God bless you.
I will jealously protect my candle so that the wind of life will not blow it off
