” Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.”
Luke 15:8-9
What do you do when a vital piece of redemption goes missing in your life? Some begin to complain and some will just continue living as though nothing happened, some however will light a candle , and sweep the whole house till they find it, that means they will not be comfortable with living their lives without God’s best for them. God gives his beloved sleep, but there is time to wake up from sleep and search out till you have found. If your health, finances, marriage, business, or career is not in place, don’t sit around idle just watching. Light a candle, that means get the necessary revelation about the matter. Until light comes into your soul, you will journey in darkness. You can not find goodness until your eyes are opened to see.
Jeremiah 29:13 says ” And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Many people are superficial searchers that is why they don’t find. Some also expect to find without seeking, but it is diligence that pays. Success in life is not a gift but a choice. Even though it is our birthright, we have a choice in it, and our participation determines our portion. How far you go is determined by how much you are willing to search out. The greatest treasures are found deep , without searching for them, we wouldn’t have petroleum and many of our precious minerals. Until you have found your missing pearl, keep sweeping. Go for every blessing of Calvary that you find missing.
It is your choice or will to prosper that will inspire you to light a candle through the night and get sweeping. Labor to invest in the digging, and you will be rewarded. If you allow yourself to be cheated , don’t complain. Sometimes you don’t eat because you are busy searching, sometimes you sleep late, sometimes your body will hurt as you pray, your mind will get tired as you study (searching for your missing piece). Nomatter what, be determined to win. Refuse to live in defeat. Wake up in the night and start the search. He that seeks finds.
