*THE CHURCH, THE LIGHT*
*MATTHEW 5:14*
*_You are the light of the world, a city set on an hill cannot be hid.
While the enemy was happy that the ultimate light had ascended to Heaven, little did he know that a flame of fire was instituted to carry the mantle of lighting up the whole world. Friends, we are not just humans in this world, we are literally lights and we carry the mantle that Christ left behind. When it comes to darkness, we are the dear solution to the world.
On top of being the light, we are also a city. Not just cities. The whole Church is the light and a city. Everything called Church is a city. There is no entity that defines unity like the Church of Jesus Christ does. We are not a hidden entity for we have been exposed to the world so that we offer the light that hails from God. Therefore, I am sure that Church is the only center of solutions.
If you look at the letter Paul wrote to the *_1 Corinthians 10:32
*_“Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:” _*
The Church outshines any entity of influence because all the rest give ideas that try to be appealing to mankind, yet the Church gives the very light that lights up every man that comes into the world. Paul clearly tells us that the Church of God despises all the Jewish and Greek civilisations.

Dear Lord Jesus, I choose to stand out as the light of the world in Jesus’ name.

*SALVATION PRAYER*
Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for my sins.
Today I receive you in my life, and I receive the forgiveness of my sins.
