Topic: SHINING AS THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR I

Memory Verse: Revelation 22:16 – I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. Revelation 22:16
Bible Reading: Revelation 22:12-16

Message: Jesus Christ introduced Himself as the Bright and Morning Star in our Bible reading today before making some important declarations concerning His expectations from us as well as our promised reward. He was very clear about His expectations because not only does He want us to be like Him, He also wants us to perform greater works (John 12:14).

To become shining stars like our Lord Jesus, we must ensure that we do two things. One, we must acknowledge that we were filthy sinners before we encountered Jesus (1 John 1:7-9; Romans 3:23). This knowledge will take us to Calvary where the Bright and Morning Star bled and died for us to access forgiveness and cleansing. This is when we confess and repent of our sins. Two, we must live strictly by His standards Many people want to benefit from the innumerable blessings of the Bright and Morning Star including shining in the darkness of this world, but they are not ready to surrender completely to His Lordship. If Adam and Eve had known whom they belonged to, they would never have succumbed to the deceit of the devil which suddenly turned their day into night.

What are the characteristics of the Bright and Morning Star? He never sinned; hence, to shine like Him we too must live a sin-free life. Many may claim that this is impossible, but it is possible because the Bible says those who are born of God do not sin; indeed, they cannot sin because the seed of God is within them (1 John 3:9). How? John 1:11-12 says that as many as believe Jesus, He gives power to become children of God.

The Bright and Morning Star has never been overwhelmed by darkness; even in the day, He still shines brightly to the whole world. The Bible says, “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not” (John 1:5). Sickness is a form of darkness and Jesus Christ was never sick. I therefore declare that the Bright and Morning Star will make sickness history in your life.

Do you want to shine like the Bright and Morning Star? Give your life to Him first, and then begin to live strictly by His commandments.

Hymn: My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less
Points: Father, please send your light upon me and let me begin to shine like my Lord-the Bright and Morning Star, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Bible in one year: Joshua 15, Joshua 16, Joshua 17

Title: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less.
Chorus: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand..

  1. My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus name.

  2. When darkness seems to veil His face,

I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

  3. His oath, His covenant, and blood,

Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

  4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,

Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
