IN 2016: SHINE YOUR LIGHT!
Matthew 5:13-16 (16)
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.
In the beginning, the earth was shapeless, empty and covered in darkness until God released a decree, “Let there be light, and there was light (Genesis 1:1-5). Therefore, Light is a natural agent that enhances sights and visibility. In life, everyman desire to flourish and be a guiding light in the dark for others to follow just as Jesus said in John 8:12, “If you abide in me, you’ll never walk in darkness but, rather be a shining light”. However, as we approach a new year, the question is: Are you a genuine light of Christ?
We as Christians are the light of the world because we are the salt of the earth according to verse 13 of today’s reading, or how can you fly an airplane without a pilot? (verse 14). Meaning: “In 2016, you should be a global channel for Christ and, if your light can so shine, then the world will be willing to follow you”. Oh! You think the presumed unbelievers need to get to Church before they are moved to repentance? They are watching us! (1 Peter 2:12)
Dear friend! Thank God you and I are born again, but can the world genuinely see Christ through us? (Colossians 1:25-29). People have nicknamed you, “The Mother of Jesus” but, when you speak about Christ, they are unwilling. Check! What are your works? Is your light burning? (Luke 12:35) Oh! God has blessed me with riches and ideas, but what impact have I on others to lead them to the truth, or how can they see the Light in you? (Luke 3:10-11). Therefore! In 2016, let God’s glory be seen on you; “Use what you have to spread His works and as you do so, the world shall come to your rising.
“To be Holy doesn’t mean to be poor, for our Father is a wealthy God (Haggai 2:8).
Be Born Again and shine your Light!
