MAKE AN IMPACT WITH YOUR LIFE
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid (Matthew 5:14).
In several instances, the Lord Jesus declared Himself to be the light of the world. In John 8:12, the Bible says, “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” In John 9:5 He said, “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” Also, in John 12:46, He said, “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.” These are profound statements.
Nobody ever talked like Jesus. However, today, we can talk like Him because the Bible says, “…as He is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). He made us the light of the world—luminous and lambent—so, light up your world. Satan may prowl or roam around like a roaring lion, but he can’t run things because he’s darkness and you’re light. Light dispels darkness. Hallelujah!
This helps us to better appreciate the Master’s powerful instruction in Matthew 5:16; He said, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Here, Jesus emphasized letting your light shine so brightly until others are inspired to glorify God because of you. Every day, glow with such radiance, brilliance and intensity that your life becomes a testament to God’s glory. In other words, make an impact with your life.
It makes no difference that you were born in a hamlet or in the palace; now that you’re here, illuminate the world and showcase the Father’s good works. What are these “good works”? They are the works or acts of God; the supernatural and the miraculous. You’re His voice and His hands to reach and bless others. This is the extraordinary life God has called us to live—a life of purpose, impact and influence for His glory; be enthused and inspired by this.
Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, thank you for making me the light of the world. I commit to letting my light shine so brightly that men see my good works and glorify you. I demonstrate your nature and bring glory to your Name. Thank you for giving me a life of purpose, impact and influence, for your glory. I’m enthused by this reality, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
