"I am the Light of the world;he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,but shall have the light of life"(John 8:12
"I am come a light into the world;that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness"(John 12:46)
"Then Jesus said unto them,Yet a little while is the Light with you.Walk while ye have the light,lest darkness come upon you:for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have light,believe in the light,that ye may be the children of light."(John 12;35,36)
"As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world"(John9:5)
"In Him was life;and the life was the light of men.And the light shineth in darkness;and the darkness comprehended it not.....That was the true light,which lighteth every man that cometh into the world"(John 1:4,5,9)
"And this is the condemnation,that light is come into the world ,and men loved darkness rather than light,because their deeds were evil.For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,neither cometh to the light,lest his deeds should be reproved.But he that doeth truth cometh to the light,that his deeds may be made manifest,that they are wrought in God"(John 3;19-21)

Surviving Economic Meltdown
"Although the fig tree shall not blossom,neither shall fruit be in the vines;the labour of the olive shall fail,and the fields shall yield no meat;the flock shall be cut off from the fold,and there shall be no herd in the stalls:Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,I will joy in the God of my salvation" (Habakkuk 3:17,18)
There's famine in the land,all over the world.It is real.The world economy is failing.There's uncertainty and insecurity in the stock market.Things are really falling apart globally.
In the face of economic recession,the good news is that there's a God in heaven who cares for His own.David,the Psalmist of Israel said "The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want" (Psalm 23:1).True believers in Christ have every reason to rejoice in the knowledge of God as their great Provider.
God do supply for the need of His children.The treasure house of heaven cannot be exhausted.Even though things are difficult,God's children are still rejoicing.
There's no reason to doubt or fear,God can do it again.Fear not O christian pilgrims,for your Lord is still on the throne.
Faith in God is the answer.It is the antidote to worry and anxiety in times like these.Have faith in God,He watches over His own.His eyes is on the sparrows and as such I know He cares for you even YOU.

THE GOLDEN RULE
Doing unto others what we expect them to do unto us is the golden rule.
Christ emphasized the believer's responsibilities toward God and fellow men in His teaching.He did not only teach us what to know and believe, but what to do and what not to do.
As christians, our manner of lives must be Bible based.The scripture spells out clearly how we are to relate with our fellow men."Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,do ye even so to them:for this is the law and the prophet"(Matthew 7:12)
Sefless love is the basic principle that should regulate our relationship with others.As it would not be our joy to be unjustifiably criticized,judged or castigated,so also must we not do to others.
It is unchristian to believe evil reports of others and act on same without first finding out the true position of things.This will disrupt fellowship and unity.We must do to our neighbours what we ourselves acknowledge to be proper and reasonable.
In our business relationship,we must be honest and trustworthy.Our business partners must be dealt with faithfully.Unjust weight and balances,adulteration of goods to have greater gain must not be employed in our dealings with our customers.
Godly virtues of honesty,love and purity befits every child of God who is devoted to Christ.
All men will definitely not understand us.There will be those who will approve of us and those who will do evil to us.When our labour of love is not being appreciated but rather rejected,we must still continue to love."recompense to no man evil for evil" Romans 12:17,21.
