BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 16, Proverbs 17, 1 John 5, 2 John 1

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:14-16 (KJV)

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: You shall be a shining example to the world around you, in the Name of Jesus.

THE MESSAGE:

In continuation of our discourse, Jesus instructed that you shine your light before men so that they will be able to see your good works, and God will be glorified. Unfortunately, this light can be prevented from shining.

The very first thing that can prevent this light from shining is sin. God hates sin and detests every act of unrighteousness. Sin separates us from God. As a child of God, you must flee every appearance of evil if you want your light to shine. Sin dims the light. Sinful habits and practices like anger, pride, malice, unforgiveness, hatred, bitterness, revenge, lust, evil imaginations, careless utterances, and so on, would prevent your light from shining. These are traits of the accuser of the brethren, satan himself. Consequently, anyone who has the attributes of satan cannot shine the light of God. It is therefore of great importance that you do away with sin and every act of unrighteousness.

Your light has only one channel to shine through – your good works. Are your works good or bad? As a Christian, you are expected to be involved in kingdom activities such as soul winning, evangelism and discipleship. Are you hospitable in any way? Will you readily be a Dorcas who cared for the widows? What impact are you making on people around you, in your home, your neighbourhood, your workplace, marketplace, the church and the larger society? How positively have you influenced lives that, with or without words, it can be said that you are a true child of God?

This is a call to re-examine your life and see if you’re still in the faith. You can cry to God for help, so that the light of God in you doesn’t die off. You need to get back to the place of confession and repentance before God, so that He will forgive your sins and restore your joy of salvation. Then, your light will be lighted by the Light of God and you will make a difference as a child of God living in this world of sin and iniquity.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

Lord Jesus, shine through me that the people around me will come to You through me, in the Name of Jesus.
Killers of light, I kill you before you kill my light, in the Name of Jesus.
My shining will attract others to God, in the Name of Jesus.

EVENING

The prince of this world shall find nothing to accuse me of, in the Name of Jesus.
My life must reflect Christ anywhere I go, in the Name of Jesus.
Father Lord, help me to make positive impact on the world, in the Name of Jesus.
Whether the devil likes it or not, I shall shine brightly, and no evil power shall stop my shining, in the Name of Jesus.
