| Age had taken its toll, with his face telling the story. He had to be reminded before remembering an old acquaintance. But when he mounted the altar and grabbed the microphone, he still spat fire. It was the same intensity when as a firebrand in the university he preached one compelling message after the other. Although the body betrayed its vulnerabilities, nothing was going to stop this voice from echoing His glory. “ But if I say I’ll never mention the Lord or speak in his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can’t do it!” – Jeremiah 20:9 (New Living Translation Bible) Something about you showcases the Jesus within. Allow God to help you Let the Son shine in your heart daily. © By, Nosa Owens-Ibie |
