BE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.

BE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.

Scriptural solution insight.

I was surprised this last week, and from just 1 hour, I counted close to 30 different churches in one street. A word dropped into my Mind: Christ's Message is not the problem, but we, Africa, are the problem of Christ's Message.  Yes, I know we need to build a church to bring people of the World to Christ. But the more the church the more darkness is taken over. In my opinion. I think we don't need churches again in Nigeria. We need to answer the call of being a Light to the World. We're only lighting in the church. It's Easy to shine in the church. But the main purpose of your Assignment is to be light in the World.  

Matt.5.14 - "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Matt.5.15 - Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

Matt.5.16 - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

We need to grow to a level in this journey so that nobody can deny our light in the world. Your light needs to shine before men, All men, And the men are in the World. V 14 said You're the Light of the World". To me, I don't see necessarily having much Church again in Nigeria. But I see the need to go out of the church to become the light. And when I take my time to Study what birth a lot of churches in Nigeria. Some by calling, burden for revival, Some by Passion As ideas, Some To correct Doctrine error (disagreement with the doctrine of your former church), and Some by gift & Talent. Who we are is that we're the light of the World.

It is the End time that our Focus should be shining the light of Christ. The youth are going back to darkness. Let me discuss two areas: To be the Light of the world. 

1) Your Areas of Influence. In advancing the kingdom of God and being the light of the world we are to influence the earth for Christ. Everyone is with purpose, and when I check, the purpose is always in one or more of the 7 mountains of Influencing. It's by influencing that our light can shine. If you can influence others and point them to Christ you're The light of the World. the nations of the earth are lightning, changed, and transformed through these Seven (7) Mountains.

 1. Family

2. Religion – (Spirituality)

3. Business – (Economy, Finance)

4. Politics – (Government)

5. Education

6. Media – (Communication)

7. Arts – (Entertainment, Celebration, Sports).

If you can easily identify your Area of Influence. It will be easy to be the Light of the World. It's time we, as the church, go into the world to influence them with The Light of Christ. Build a company, Build industry, and Technology rise to influence your world. People are easily Influenced by your light when they easily see what God uses your life to do. The above scripture doesn't put us in darkness. V 16 says, "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."  When your light is shining, what men see is the good work you're doing.

And this good work they see gives you the power to affect their life for Christ, the power to change them, the power to develop them, and the power to control men. And the ability to do this means you're a light to your world. When men see how your life can change them positively, they glorify your father in heaven. You must influence people around you with the Light of Christ in you. With your good work. With your development, With your success. Through your influence, you must preach Christ. This led me to the second area to be light to the World.

2) Impact Your World. I have never seen Dr. Myles Munroe before. But he, using his Voice, Gift, and Talent for the world has impacted my life so much. That I see light through his light.  I can't deny the fact that you can be the light to the world by affecting the Lives of others with the Knowledge of Christ. Christ alone is the Light to the world. 

This Generation is ignorant. You need to rise to impact with your voice, Gift, Talent, material possessions, And spiritual gifts. As the light of the World, your words are important because they can neither impact positively nor negatively. And you don't know who is impacted. Be that light by impacting the people around you. I have some people in this Group that I have not met before, and I am impacting them. Also, I have some people I don't meet, and they are impacting my life. The important thing is that we are the Light of the World.

Finally, When we look at Jesus, he influenced his disciples with his daily walk, and he impacted them with the power of his words because his words and his actions were joined at the hip. He did not influence the woman he found at the well, but he did cause an impact that made her change her ways. As you plan to influence and impact your World. 

Understand that we don't belong to the World, but we're representatives of Christ and we give account. You're the Light of the World. Let your light shine. God bless you.

Hope it's insightful.
