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.
