THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

 Shalom!

Matthew 5:14 -

"You are the light of the world.

A city on a hill cannot be hidden."

There are many in the Body of Christ who must learn to trim their wicks in order to burn brighter than before.

We have settled for a tiny flame while complaining about the invasive darkness.

We have been waiting on the invitation for influence, while missing our occasion to invade and overthrow the darkness.

NOW is the time for you to trim your wick so that the light of Christ within you shines greater than before as you seek to advance in His calling on your life.

It will take discipline.

It will take the willingness to embrace your Christ identity.

It will also take some forms of separation.

If the world cannot detect your covenant relationship with the Father, why would the world want to be transformed into the image of Christ?

Often we fail to shine His light in everyday moments simply because we fail to burn.

When we determine to be purposeful in shining His light, it is the acknowledgment of the illumination of Christ that comes from the kindled wick.

However, it is impossible to shine unless it (you) first burns.

If you are willing to shine, it's only because you are first committed to burn. AMEN
