KEY SCRIPTURE:1Ti 5:25 KJV” Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.”
The Lord said you are the light of the world; a city set on a mountain can not be hidden. He added Let your light so shine that men may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. (Matt 5:14-16 paraphrased ). This piece of scripture, which is among what is described as the Sermon on the Mount, is very instructive. It says you, as a Christian, are the light of the world. To be light does not come by ourselves. It is an ability that God gave to us or made us. It explains that we have supernatural potentials that make us bring answers to a world in darkness.
Every child of God must accept that he or she has been born as a solution. In John 8:12, the Lord said he that comes to him shall have the light of life and shall not walk in darkness. In Matthew 5:15, he said we are like a city placed on a hill that can not be hidden. This tells us to remain very significant in our world. We should not be isolated in our churches, and that is all. We must be actively involved in our world, bringing solutions to the challenges of our times.
Jesus added that we must let our light so shine that men may see the light and give glory to our Father who is in heaven. Christian businessmen must know that Satan seeks to use his children to dominate the scene. Christians must know that our great impact in all fields of endeavour is not for ourselves but to bring to bear in our world the light or the reign of God. Our Political system is massively dominated by people who do not know our Lord, and they allow ungodly systems that ultimately pollute the social fibre. Certain religious groups have an agenda to infiltrate and eventually dominate the system with their laws and culture. Every Christian must be aware that our call is to let our light shine everywhere we are.
As light, it means we have the grace to excel, so work very hard in whatever field you find yourself.
Get to the top, for your place at the top is Jesus at the top of affairs in the Land. Pray always that the impact of Christians would permeate all areas of our lives.
THOUGHT:IT IS YOUR GODLY OBLIGATION TO SHINE IN A DARK WORLD.

Mat 5:14 -16 KJV “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill can not 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.”
