Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Everyday of my life since I dedicate my life to God; He has never stop revealing to me things that i need to know about my redemptive right; which is, the knowledge of who I am as a covenant child and what is available for me in redemption and this revelation make me anxious and i begin to think that i have a lot of work to do. Whether we like it or not; God is not totally responsible for the outcome of our life; we are to determine whether we want to become what God has ordained us to be by our action. God will always reveal to us His plan and purpose for our life; and then show us the way to go about it, but whether we want to walk in it or not is now left for us to decide. Every genuine encounter with the word of God compels the people to action (Bishop David Oyedepo). If your discovery is not moving you to action, then it is not genuine. The bible is our guide and the blueprint that contains God's plan and purpose for our life. God said that we are the light of the world; not only are we light but also we are a city that is set on a hill, where everyone can see us and glorify the work of our Father in heaven. The question that I kept asking myself anytime I discover something new by revelation is that am I actually living to the expectation of God? I think every genuine child of God should be able to ask themself the same question and your answers will make you reposition yourself well for the race. If i am redeemed as a city, which means i need population; and if i am a light i should be able to attract people to myself by showing those who are in dark my light and that will make me a city indeed. And if this city is now set on a hill it shouldn't be difficult for others to find me. This is a serious matter; the next question is what should I do? now that i found out about this new status that i am expected to enter into. There are so many things to put into consideration in order to walk in the reality of this revelation of who we are as a child of God. I see it this way; At new birth when we give our life to Christ; light enter into us; automatically we becomes light because he has drawn us from darkness into his light and since light is contiguous we become a carrier of light immediately; but to keep our light shining our eyes needs to be single; that is, we need to focus and continue to stay inside the light. Psalm 36:9 (For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light). 2 Corinthians 3:18 (But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord). You have to keep beholding him through the mirror of his word until you are completely like him. Proverbs 4:18 (But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day). It is a continuous process and the goal is to be made perfect; and part of the condition for your light to keep shining is for you to move and get more people out of darkness by introducing them to the light; let them know about the light. Mark 16:15 (And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned).
Daniel 12:3 (And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever). In this kingdom, the brightness of our light depends on how many people we draw from darkness to God. secondly; you grow into a city by the number of the men and women you are able to draw to God by the light you are carrying. Thirdly, the LORD Himself will now set your city on a hill and announce you to the whole world; so that more people can see the glory of God in you. At this stage you are now a general in the army with a city; your star has risen; an everlasting star and no power can cover your glory any more; wow, glory be to God. I am sure, you can't wait to be announced by God; so, while waiting, quickly align yourself with God by accepting the light which is Jesus Christ; in case you have not accepted him to be your guide in this journey. Colossians 1:12 (Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son): You don´t need to stay in the dark anymore; come over to the light and received your citizenship card which is accompany with your inheritance because it is meant for only the saint who are in the light. Darkness has no inheritance; you have the opportunity to crossover now; please don´t miss it.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
NENE ISAH,
