"“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 5:14-16
Here is the thing... Many of us are looking for some great defining moment that launches us into the call of God for our lives... Some of us are waiting for platforms to be provided within the church... some of us are looking for some unique missions trip where we can finally be what God has called us to be...Some of us have definitions as to what defines the opportune time for doing His will and His work, while some of us have defined how the opportunity would present it self and if its anything different than what imagined then nope..not going forward.
Hate to disappoint you, but if you are one who believes in the Lord Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and you fit into any of the above mentioned scenarios, then you could not be further from the truth !!
If we are alive today, then it is because God has purposed it ! And if He has purposed it then it is by His grace and for His glory. We are the light of the world ! Like Father , Like children ! This day, today is the day to walk in His way and do as He would do... to share His love with those around you.. to reach out to those in need... to forgive those who need to be forgiven...to walk alongside with those who need a hand... TODAY IS THAT DAY !
Lets take a quick peek into what the disciples did in Acts... Peter decided to go and preach to the crowds who were right outside him and mocking him !! They were infact calling the whole bunch as drunkards !! Its not like they were "Ohhh wont you tell me about Jesus please !"... But Peter addressed them..He knew its time to pour out all that God had poured into him.
As Peter and John are just walking up into the temple they see a beggar and there you go .."What I have I give" ... Do we have that attitude ? Or are we doubtful of what we have ?
Its simple ! Jesus is our Lord and Saviour ! There is no one in heaven or earth mightier than Him ! We are His children ransomed by His blood ! We have the love of the Father showered on us .. We are carried by grace .. We have the word of God ! We are sealed by His Spirit ... What more do we need ?
If you have breath today.. Today is your day ! Wherever you are is your mission field... Be a testimony to those around you, share the love of God with your classmates, your friends, the people in your office, the lady where you buy your lunch from....
Reach out to those in need
And pray for those who don't know Jesus yet as their Lord and Saviour.
"“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
God Bless
