Light Of The World

Matt. 5:14-16

Light has all powers over darkness thus – you are the light of your world. You are blessed with the ability to lighten, influence and dominate your own sphere of influence. If you shine and the other Christian fellow also shines, very soon we shall lighten up the whole world for Jesus. That is the sole reason for saving us – to shine in our own world; your home, your work place, your family, your neighborhood etc. Sin has wreaked havoc on the human race but grace bought us back, this set us on a high pedestal, where you can’t and must not be hidden because of the great investment to save you and the premium God is placing on you as His ambassador in your world. This light should shine before men, it should give them direction, it should show them the truth, it should influence them positively, and separate them from the deeds of darkness. Everything about the light should be good.  Light is useless when it does not dispel darkness.  The world is dark, don’t be a light in the church, among Christian brethren alone but also shine in the ungodly settings.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: You are blessed with the ability to lighten, influence and dominate your own sphere of influence.

PRAYER POINT: God, please help me to live up to Your expectation of me as light in a dark world.
