The traumatic aftermath proved him wrong. He had been convinced enough by the leader?s conduct and consistent performance at the usually vigorous church cell prayer sessions, to guarantee a facility for him in his office. When it was payback time, the businessman cell leader disappeared and the member almost lost his job and had to rally with great difficulty to meet the payment deadline. He did not lose his conviction about the essence of prayer and leaders in the church, but stopped assessing spirituality on the basis of just the obvious.

?See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.? ? Ephesians 5: 15-16 (KJV)

Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
