YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Have you ever been in a house where NEPA takes light? Sure, I have been in Port Harcourt several times when suddenly and without notice, NEPA will just take light, and there will be total darkness all over the place. During such times of darkness, if people in a room try to move, they may either bump themselves against each other, or hit their feet against a chair or an object and get hurt. But if somebody brings in a candle or any source of light, everybody in the room will then rejoice because they will see each other and know where to put their feet when they move, and no one will get hurt again.
Similarly, many people run into problems, argument and confusion, and even get hurt because, just like those walking in darkness, they do not see where they are going.
But you who have received the Lord Jesus Christ, God has put a thing in you that is very unique, that is why when a child of God comes into a place where there are problems, argument and confusion, they begin to maintain peace and order, because, just as a light that shines in darkness, the love of Christ and the wisdom of God in them through the power of the Holy Spirit will begin to guide those people and put things right for them.
That is why Jesus says in Matthew 5:14-16, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 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. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
Yes, this is what you were called to do, especially you who are striving to do God’s will. Continue to let your light shine as you show good examples to people. If you get to a place where there is misunderstanding, quarrelling, fighting and confusion, you are not expected to hide, but to let your light shine, because you are the light to all of them. In your family, neighborhood, Church, school, even your workplace, Jesus expects you to let your light shine, and things will turn around for good just because you are there.
May God empower and energize you to be able to let your light shine in Jesus name. You are so much blessed. Jesus loves you and I do too.
