Devotional
It has been established that as Christians, we are the light of the world, (Matt. 5:14). We are called to shine as lights before others, to be a pace setter and spiritual pathfinder pointing people to the light of Christ. So, let us look at how can we be a light in the midst of darkness.
TIMES OF REFRESHING
Key Scripture
No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house,Matthew 5:15 NLT
Refreshing for the Day
Jesus is the true light, in Him we find and become light.
SO, HOW CAN WE BE A LIGHT IN THE MIDST OF DARKNESS?
We must;
i. Put on the armor of light and right living, (Rom 13:12).
ii. Clothe yourself with presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, (Rom 13:14).
iii. Be a beacon of truth
iv. Don’t let sin dim your light
v. Bear witness, (Matt 5:16)
vi. Think of others, (John 1:6-9, Luke 6:31).
In conclusion beloved, before we can be a light to others, we must first of all take a look at our own life, put our ways right and make sure our light shines brightly. Put a check on our attitude to others, for this speak better than words. Stay Lifted!
Note This
Jesus is the true light, in Him we find and become light.
Responsibility
Lead a good life. Let your life be the light that will attract men God.
Pause in His presence
Prayer
O LORD JESUS, you are the true light, as I find light in you; make me a light to others, in the name of Jesus’ Amen! (Go ahead and continue to pray)
Carry this with you
Prophetic Word
May the presence of the light of Christ in you, be a terror to the kingdom of darkness, in the name of Jesus, Amen.
