DON'T HIDE YOUR LIGHT
Luke 8:16 "No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. (NIV)
You find people who are good in what they do -- in their endeavour or field of work but hidden. He is a good auto mechanic but has no shop. Another fellow is a great engineer but has no tools. They are good in their profession but hidden. Same is true of some Christians. A Christian is a light; a light that is enough for the whole world but a hidden light has no relevance.
Every Christian is a light but not every Christian is a shining light. Some are hid and shielded by life's worries; what to eat, drink, wear, fame, self-imposed pursuits, and the challenges that follows them. Those who are supposedly to be light to their family, city, nation and world are hidden. For life's troubles they hid their light. Don't hide your light.
Cause your light to shine and keep it where everyone would see by it. Light does not shine for itself. You being light your responsibility is not to shine for yourself, no! It is for others. It is so that through you others can see the glory, grace, favour, blessings and realities of the Kingdom. Don't hide! God didn't call you to hide. When trouble comes up in your locality; it is a manifestation of darkness. And it's a call for the response of light. Don't wish someone else would do something about it. No! Shine forth as light and prevail over the trouble.
Be the answer in your world and not one seeking for answers. Be the solution, be the light; a burning and shining light.
CONFESSION
The Lord Jesus declares that I am the light of the world and so am I. I am set on the lampstand to give light to my world. I am a burning and shining light in this world, I shine forth and prevail victoriously over the darkness in this world, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
