Read: Matthew 5: 14-16 | Proverbs 23:7 | John 7:22 | 2 Timothy 2
As we continue to dive deeper into our walk with God we realize that Church is not a hiding place but a rallying place to get fired up for the next mission Our only objective in life is that people discover Jesus so how we represent Him is going to be more effective out in the world that inside the walls of the church. In order to complete this mission we have to stand on the truth that we are both kings in ruling but also kings in waiting, so as we are expectant to God to take us to that “next big thing” we can still influence the atmosphere of where we are at.
Here are some things to think about as we continue to reflect the light of Christ:
1 Sometimes our lack of promotion is just a season of preparation.
2 To bring glory means to excel in whatever it is we do and that excellence will speak to people.
3 We have to be overt and covert at the same time.
It’s our mandate to change this city and to change this country for the Lord. A city on a hill cannot be hidden the word says, which means that if each of us collectively shine the light that has been given us, together we make a massive impact on the darkness that surrounds us. We often feel ineffective because we are isolated but look around you and see that you have been placed in a body that is running this race alongside you!
Application -
Where are you positioned: a job, your family, your friends. How can you begin to bring that unique light into their lives?
Prayer -
Father help me reflect the light of Jesus on to those around me. I pray that I will excel in all the skills you have given me and in that process that I will bring you utmost glory. Help me see this season of preparation as the training grounds for what you have in store for the future! In Jesus Name!
