Title: Let your light so shine
Text: Matt.5:16
*'So' means you need strength to make your light shine.
*Your light has to shine amidst contradictory powers.
*We have no choice as Christians but to do good because that is our make. For example no condition can make an orange tree bear pepper. As Christians we can't do otherwise but good.
*This calls for self examination of the kind of fruits we bear.
*One of those who came to arrest Jesus our Lord when He was about to be crucified had his ear cut off but Jesus restored it. Jesus continued to do good amidst contrary influence.1Pet.2:21
*David who had the opportunity to kill his enemy Saul who was after his own life spared him instead. Even after cutting just the hem of Saul's garment his conscience smote him.
*Gal.6:9.We shouldn't be weary in doing good. Our light should continue to shine.
*Surrounding us are the powers of darkness but our light should shine powerfully to overcome the contradictory works of darkness.
*John1:4-5. Darkness can't comprehend because it is such a great light that no power,influence or contradiction whatsoever can stop and so are we also as Christians unstoppable.
*A person may hate you so much he may even reject offers of help from you including prayers, but that won't stop you from praying from him in your room and be expectant of good fruits manifesting in his life.Nobody can stop you from doing good, darkness can't comprehend you.
*We overcome evil with good Rom.12:21.Doing good is our weapon to overcome evil.To be victorious we continue doing good.Matt.5:44-48
*Heb.6:7-8.We are channels of God that expend the goodness of God to people.And God expects us to reciprocate His love,so those that do are under the blessing of God while those that fail to are under the curse.
*When your light so shines you remain a leader because light guides and leads.
*Darkness shouldn't overcome you.Keep shining.
*Pray for the nature of God that can't do otherwise but good.
God bless
