Text: Isaiah
60:1(KJV)
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory
of the Lord is
risen upon thee.
There is a glory of light in you which cannot be
covered. But you have a
part to play by stepping out to shine your shine. Our acceptance into God’s
kingdom is an amazing gift which we are meant to shine. Therefore, for us to
sustain our position in this kingdom, we need to keep dwelling in the glory of
that light. The truth is, once light shines in a place of complete darkness,
darkness bows without any effort of resistance with subsequent flow of a ray of
light. 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 without limitation. John 1:5- And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not.The same goes for us as believers as we have different intensities of
light. For some people, their light might be dim due to them allowing the
pressures of this world to hold them down; 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 and consistent understanding of
the Word of God and this is the intensity we are meant to have as mature
Christians.
God wants us to keep radiating His
glory, and that is why He gave us the Word as a constitutional manual to keep
that light shining even with high intensity. 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 worldthat is filled with tears
of gross darkness. The truth is the
length or intensity of our shining is determined by the volume of our oil which
is directly reflected to our faith. So,
I urge you to fuel yourself always with the right Word so that you can be
hotter and you will keep burning and shining in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINTS:
1.Oh Lord, may I step out to a new
realm of burning with higher expression to the glory of Godin Jesus name.
2. Father, may my light attract
nations to God and repel darkness around my vicinity to the glory of God in
Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE:Can you imagine your stepping out effect on that pressure?
