SHINE YOUR LIGHT

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.

The world is full of enough problem and darkness that you must not add yours to it, rather, you must seek to be the solution and light. 

This has always been Jesus' intention during His earthly ministry. While He was on earth physically, He said, "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world" (John  9:5). This statement described Jesus' desire and purpose for His followers as well. 

Jesus wanted His followers to be deliberate in shinning their light in this crooked and perversed world. This is because the world is in darkness.

If you wouldn't shine your light, the darkness will continually grow thicker and thicker. 

The statement "let your light so shine before men..." simply means that the choice of shinning God's light within you is up to you. You may or may not shine the light God has put within you. The choice is always yours.

You must make up your mind to allow God's light within shine before men. 

Only those who have been illuminated by God's light can shine their light. That's why the scripture has commanded you to 
 *"Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you"* (Isaiah 60:1). God wouldn't ask you to arise and shine if His light hasn't risen upon you.

Go and Shine His light within you for your world to see that they might glorify your Father 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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
