Shine and Shine again

Text: Isaiah 60:1(KJV)

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

Our ultimate gift in this kingdom is to shine and influence our environment as our light cannot be hidden.  So, when we accepted to join God’s kingdom, one amazing gift was given to us, which was light (JESUS), but for us to sustain our position in this kingdom, we need to keep using that light to shine. Ask yourself I am shining without Jesus? The truth is, once light shines in a place of complete darkness, darkness bows, but what follows after a ray of light is the continuous shining of light with great impact. Think of it in the case of the sun, once it rises, it takes the darkness away, and after that has happened, it keeps shining. John 1:5- And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. The same goes for us as believers. We have been given light, but it is time for us to keep shining. The fact is there are different intensities of light some low and others high level, but we can grow our level of light.  For some, it might be slightly bright because they are still growing in their Christian faith, while for some, it is extremely bright because of their deep understanding of the Word of God and this is the intensity we are meant to have as true believers.

Amazingly, God wants us to keep shining, and that is why He gave us the Word as a manual to keep that light shining. Psalms 119:105- Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. The intensity of light God aims for us is the one that will shine, and it will radiate to everyone and things around us. This light is our inheritance, and we are meant to show it to the world. The truth is the length or intensity of our shining is determined by the volume of our oil (the Word of God) on reserve and the pruning of the wick (our faith), so I urge you to fuel yourself always with the Word so that you can be hotter and you will keep burning and shining over and over. I pray God will help us, in Jesus name. 

PRAYER POINTS: 

1.Oh Lord, strengthen me to keep the oil burning as to shine brighter again in Jesus name.

2. Father, may my light not be covered by the world standard instead be influenced positively in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Please do not cover the light in you as to enjoy the full output.
