Position Your Light Properly
Wednesday, June 28, 2023Key Verse
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Mathew 5:16).
Text — Matthew 5:14-16
Message
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine;
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine;
This little light of mine I’m gonna let it shine,
Let it shine! Let it shine! Let it shine!
We all love this song, growing up.
We occupy a prime place in the heart of Jehovah El-Shaddai as little lights here and there. As Jesus lightened the world with great light (Mathew 4:16), so we should follow His steps. The people saw that He was the way, the truth, and the life. So we must be in this dark world, live and lead others to the Way. Believers are expected to preach and persuade others to believe on the Lord for their salvation. They will be forever grateful if you contribute to their knowing the Lord. Ensure that in your school fellowship or in the church in your community, you are committed to serving the Lord and the brethren with a pure heart. Your life should support what you preach to others, so that your message can serve as light and hope to them.
