Be a Circuit Breaker

Read From: 2 Timothy 2:20-26

Memorise: And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient (2 Timothy 2:24).

Exposition:

The science of electricity, no doubt has tremendous benefits to mankind. However, as beneficial as it is, it could be hazardous at times! Normally, the control switch makes light on and off. What makes the light to be off, having pressed the switch is the circuit breaker, which breaks the connection between the switch and the bulb.

So, how do we become “circuit breakers?” The Holy Spirit, in today’s dose of the Living Water, wants every heaven-conscious person to be a breaker of wrath, sedition, rebellion, brawl and wrangling chain. A man who wakes up to face a serious strife with a nagging wife goes out with that embittered and provoked spirit. On the wheels, he unleashes the bitterness on everyone he comes across. One of them happens to be a teacher. Already offended by the man who had troubles with wife at home, the teacher was irked that day at the slightest provocation from colleagues or his students!

You know what! The students who happen to be seniors or even prefects in turn unleash terror on the helpless and defenceless junior students! The evil continues unabated in that viral chain! While this may get to you, as a child of God, you need to be a breaker, so that you can be a broker of peace (Heb. 12:14). That malady must stop when it reaches a heaven-conscious person. A child of God will return smiles for any form of provocation. He will not think of revenge, (Rom 12:21) offence, right claiming or cheating, after all he is told to be available to be cheated. May the ever effective Holy Spirit help us to rule over our spirit, for he who has a rule over his spirit is better than a man who conquers a whole city (Prov. 16:32). Stay blessed.

Prayer Points:

1. Lord, help me to always be ignited by the Holy Spirit instead of immoderate passion.
2. Oh Lord, I want to be fool for Christ’s sake. Help me!
3. Lord, quench the fire of disunity burning in our churches today, occasioned by impatience and pride.
