*Topic:* The Dawn of Glorious Shining
*Text:* Isaiah 60:1
_Arise, shine; for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee._
Darkness is not good at all, but it makes us appreciate light better. In this world that is filled with the works of darkness, we are encouraged to shine forth. The light is not out there but in you, if you truly belong to God. Remember the Bible says you are the light of the world. The source of light in you is Christ. So shining forth should not be a problem.
However for those who have not yet become sons of God, shining is herculean; more like an impossible task, an unimaginable height. A torch cannot function without battery, a bulb cannot light up without energy. The battery and energy in this case are considered the root source of shining for these devices. So also is the life of a man without Christ.
When the text says arise, there is a call to leave whatever you are busy with in darkness and stand to be counted among those who will shine for God. In darkness, there are many limitations, mistakes, errors, difficulties, problems, accidents, losses, and outright failures. Your life cannot have any meaning in darkness, hence the need to come to Jesus who can be the true light of your life. Your nights might have been filled with darkness but there is a rising dawn, once you come to Jesus. The dawn is replete with light and it is considered, a dawn of glorious shining. As you make your decision to come to Jesus today, we are completely ready to welcome you into a rising dawn of glorious shining.
*Prayer:* At this moment I declare that my time of glorious shining has come. I enter into the dawn of shining best.
