God bless you
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy
nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who
hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light ( 1 Peter 2:9).
The Bible says He has called us into His marvelous, overwhelming
light. This means we dwell in light; we’re children of light. Jesus also stated
this in Matthew 5:14: “Ye are the light of the world...” What a blessing! What
an honour! What a commission! What a calling. We’re the light of the world!
To get the full import of this truth, you have to first understand
what light is. Light is that which makes manifest. Light describes. Ephesians
5:13 says, “But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.” In other words, light shows you
what’s present. It leads you in the way and gives direction. Light brings
fulfilment and joy.
When you show up, darkness disappears. Darkness represents sin,
death, evil and all the negative things that are associated with Satan. Jesus
said: “…I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in
darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12). Like Jesus, you’re the
light of the world, and have the light of life. You’ve been brought out of
darkness into the supernatural life of glory. Arise and shine. Refuse to allow
the works of darkness manifest themselves in your life, for there’s no darkness
in your life.
Matthew 5:16 says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they
may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Don’t
just shine; shine brightly. Let the intensity of your light dazzle and
discomfit Satan, his demons and the negative works of darkness. Let it inspire
men to praise and glorify your heavenly Father, as they see and experience your
good works—your works of righteousness.
PRAYER
Dear Lord, thank you for the glorious heritage I have in you.
You’ve made me a burning and a shining light, and I shine ever so brightly in a
dark world, radiating your glory to all men, and manifesting works of
righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: || Isaiah 60:1-2 Arise, shine; for thy light is
come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness
shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise
upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. ||
|| Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may
see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. ||
