Text: Philippians 2:15 (KJV)
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God,
without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye
shine as lights in the world.
We know that the
world has become so tense, and it is becoming difficult to believe we can truly
live an exemplary life, but we as believers are an exemption. The truth is,
despite the crookedness of this world, we are expected to shine like the light,
and that is because we have the capacity to be blameless and harmless in us. Isaiah
60:1a- Arise,
shine; for thy light is come. We are meant to shine, and this is a proof
of our Christian Faith. Although the world has a generation of questionable attitudes,
we are meant to be an exemption. We should never feel like it is impossible for
this to happen, but always remember Matthew 19:26b- With men
this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. The truth is, the world’s lifestyle is not supposed to change our
kingdom lifestyle, but rather, it is meant to be the opposite, we are meant to
have a positive influence on our world no matter what.
Thankfully, each and every one of us carries
this great light, and we are not allowed to dim it. We should also not make
excuses, but rather we are to light up the fire in us. Proverbs
4:18-But the
path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the
perfect day. I urge you not to hide your light, instead begin
to influence your direct environment, and in so doing, you will end up
impacting multitudes. I tell you, there is more in us than
we expected; we just need to hold fast to His word of life as He continues to
unveil Himself to us. I pray God will help us, in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINTS:
1.Oh Lord, please help us to shine as
lights, despite the circumstances in our environment, in Jesus name.
2.Father, may we not dilute the worth of
this kingdom because of the pressures of our time, in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE: You are God’s light for this
generation, so do not look down on yourself.
