“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
– Matthew 5:14-16
“Humanity has in itself no light. Apart from Christ we are like an unkindled taper, . . . But when we turn toward the Sun of Righteousness, when we come in touch with Christ, the whole soul is aglow with the brightness of the divine presence. Christ’s followers are to be more than a light in the midst of men. They are the light of the world . . . Angels of glory wait to communicate through you heaven’s light and power to souls that are ready to perish.” – Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, p. 40
HEART QUESTIONS: Did you read the quote above? Do you realize that angels are waiting to work through you to reach lost people? Isn’t this amazing? You are invited to not only be filled with the Holy Spirit for your personal sanctification, but to actively participate in shining the truth, love, and righteousness of Jesus to a world whose time is running out. Think about your family, your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers. Ask God to show you who needs the light of Jesus in their life? Who should you pray for and contact this week?
- Pray that we will allow God’s light to shine through us that we can become the light to the world that are around us.
- Pray for those who are living by themselves that they will feel the abiding present of Jesus and that they will not be lonely
- Pray that church members in French Guiana would understand that the Seventh-day Adventist Church is a prophetic movement with a prophetic message entrusted by heaven with a very special prophetic mission, and now is the time to shine for God’s glory.
- Pray for your local church needs. The spiritual and physical needs. Pray for unity, healing, and a renewed commitment to outreach and mission activities. Pray that their light will shine in community where they are.
