SHINE YOUR LIGHT-2

Text : Matthew 5:16

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

It is time for you to arise and shine your light for the world to see.

God dwells in light and He's got enough light oozing out from Him. Hence, He does not need your light to shine for Him to see, rather, He wants you to shine your light for men and the world, that they may see your good works.

The book of First Timothy chapter 6 verse 16 described God as one "who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power." 

When your light shines unto men, men in turn will give glory to God.

 *The extent to which your light shines, is the extent to which men give God Glory.* That's the reason Jesus said,  _"let your light so shine..."_ 

*If you will not so shine your light, men will not see your good works. And if men do not see your good works, God will not be glorified through you!* 

So, one major reason you need to shine your light is so that men may give glory to God.

The second reason you need to so shine your light is because darkness is covering the whole earth. If you don't shine your light, the whole earth shall remain in darkness perpetually. 

In the beginning, God rescued the earth from darkness by calling forth His light. He said, "let there be light..."  It is still the same order today. If you will shine forth God's light within you, then darkness will be dispelled on earth.

Shine forth your light, let men see your good works and they will glorify your God in heaven.

Bible  Reading :Isaiah 60:1-5.


PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I receive the Grace to arise and shine in Jesus name.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
