BETTER LIFE MESSAGE
DATE : SUNDAY MAY 10, 2020
TOPIC: DARE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE (PART 5)
TEXT : ISAIAH 60:1-3 – “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee. And the gentiles shall come to thy, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”
No one in his right mind about six months ago would ever imagine that a period will ever come when the entire world will be under lock and key and leaders of the world and international bodies would be so perplexed to the point that they cannot offer solution to the global crises (Pandemic).
I remember vividly, that I mentioned in December 2019 in our Church services that believers should get prepared because darkness and gross darkness will be visiting the world in year 2020, hence, there is need for us to build up our faith level against the battles that will be confronting the nations of the world because it’s going to be affecting the health, business, career, family relationships, finances, jobs etc. Also, early February this year 2020, I equally mentioned that I saw deaths in diverse places and these are already playing out in the physical reality.
The problem is not even the COVID-19, it is the aftermath effects on nations due to the shutting down of global economies.
But there is going to be a clear cut difference between the righteous and the unrighteous, those that are serving God genuinely and those that refuse to serve Him like in the days when the departure of the children Israel from Egypt to Canaanland was much nearer, God did made a difference between His children and the Egyptians – Malachi 3:16-18, 4:1-3, Exodus 10:21-23, 11:6-7
The darkness or Gross darkness is not the reason why the masses are suffering rather it is the absence of certain degree of light.
The appearance of light therefore is the disappearance of darkness. The darkness that was upon the earth at creation suddenly disappear at the introduction of light.
All God simply did to terminate the activities of the power of darkness was to call forth light and there was light. Genesis 1:1-3, 2Cor 4:6
Darkness is an interruption to the plans of God from the pit of hell.
However, light is in degrees and it is for signs, seasons, days and years. God created two great lights, greater light (Sun) to rule the day, lesser light (Moon) to rule the night and third light (Stars) to complements the effect of the moon at night – Genesis 1:14-18, 1Cor 15:41
You can create better signs, better seasons, better days and better years for yourself amidst the gross darkness ravaging the earth today by carrying relevant light.
You don’t have to be a partaker of the effects of gross darkness, you can alter the negative direction of events around your life, family, business, career, academics, environment, society and nations by the reason of the dimension of light in you.
Please understand that the light we are talking about is really not the sun, moon nor the stars, because even in broad day light with the sun at the fulness of its shinning, you can see physically the manifestations of the power of darkness everywhere. Electricity light is of no use when the power of darkness is at work.
Therefore, the light that puts the believer above the the power of darkness and makes him to be in command of the affairs of life is the one generated from the word of God. John 1:1-5
The glory of light that a believer radiates amidst the challenges of life is largely determined by the degree of light that is at work in him and through him.
Light is not only meant to shine but also to burn off anything that does not represent God’s glory around you depending on the dimension you are carrying per time – John 5:35
HOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
1. LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE – Matthew 5:14-16 “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
There is no better time in human history that the light of the children of God is more relevant than this present moment.
Light is the only authentic solution to the problems generated by the darkness and gross darkness – Romans 8:19
With the light of the word of God shinning in you and through you, there no need for publicity fees for you to be noticed or known.
Your relevance in this kingdom and the world is going to be by the intensity of your light. Identifying the area of your calling as a believer and carrying the required degree of light will make you a force to reckon with, with or without human connection, lobbying or buying your way to access the topmost top.
Remember that there was a time when Jesus was referred to as son of the carpenter but He later graduated to be called ‘THE CARPENTER’ – Matthew 13:55, Mark 6:3
The light of God’s word at work in Joseph, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego brought them out slavery to the limelight that no one could push them aside. In the midst of all challenges that they were face to face with, they rose to the topmost top. There is a point you get to in your field of endeavour that you cannot be hidden nor be ignored.
Light shines the best and the most in the midst of darkness.
Go down the history lane, you will discover that all major inventors were mostly invented by real believers who knew the importance of the word of God, People like Michael Faraday, Thomas Edison, The Wright Brothers, Henry Heinz, R.G. Leutoroney etc.
If you have the answer and solution to question or problem of mankind nothing will ever work against. Grammar, plenty academic and professional qualifications, gender, nationality, skin colour will never work against the solution provider. Joseph was in the Prison but because of the degree of light he carried, he was sent for. Very soon, from the palace, they will for you after the order Joseph – Genesis 41:9-16, 32:44, Psalms 105:16-22
Remember that no one can cover or hide the light in the midst of darkness and light does not know enemy in darkness, everyone runs towards the light.
Take advantage of this lockdown and invest your time in the word of God and pray more in the Spirit so that your light will shine for the world to see during and after the lockdown so that when you resumed back to office, your business place, your school, your Church and in your neighborhood everyone will see the light of your good works in character with new level of skills, answers and solutions to complex situations and they will glorify your father in Heaven.
What the light of the word of God does is to make you the best in your chosen field endeavours . You cannot afford to return the same way you were before the lockdown.
THE WORLD IS TIRED OF STORIES, EVERYONE IS WAITING FOR YOUR MANIFESTATIONS. UNTIL THE KINGS BEGINS TO COME TO YOU, YOU HAVE NOT STARTED.
ABOVE ALL, DO EVERYTHING WITHIN AND BEYOND YOUR POWER TO PLEASE GOD SO AS NOT TO MISS THE FLIGHT TO HEAVEN.
My heartfelt prayer for you today is that, every evil veil covering the glory of your destiny be consumed with the unquenchable Fire of the Holy Ghost and all evil wind programmed for you and your family this new week and forever is hereby put on reverse gear and returned sevenfold back to the sender, the light of your destiny will rise out of obscurity and shine for the world to see in Jesus Mighty Name. Matthew 3:11-12, Deut 9:3, Isaiah 25:7, 60:1-3, 2Peter 1:19,
SEE YOU AT THE TOPMOST TOP.
REMAIN EVER BLESSED.
JESUS IS LORD.
