TOPIC: WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT
TEXT: Ephesians 5:8-14
Key verse: 2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who
commanded the light to shine out of
darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory ofGod in the face of Jesus Christ.
Spiritually, light represents life and darkness represents death. Jesus is the light of the world and eternal life. John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. He came into the world as the light of men in order to give them
eternal life. John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
When He departed the world, He did not leave the world in total darkness. He left behind his own seeds that they may continue to shine His light on the world and lead many to eternal life. Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Jesus manifested his light for all to see.
Even his enemies could not convict Him of sin. Matthew 22:16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. What is the testimony of God about you? What is the testimony of men about you? Beyond saying I am a Christian, your life should be a shining light in the dark world and not part of the darkness. Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Let your life bring glory to the name of God, not shame or reproach. Sin in the life of a Christian is like spilled liquid of gall bladder in a basin of meat. It is no longer good for consumption. A sinful Christian is of little or no value to God. He can only be useful in the hands of Satan and wicked men for evil purposes. God may be using you but He is only managing you like a bad extra (spare) tyre before He gets a suitable replacement. You cannot last long with Him unless you change your ways. As a child of light, hate sin and love righteousness.
Avoid murmuring, grumbling and backbiting. Be humble and compassionate.
Fear God and love every man. Have nothing to do with the evil deeds of darkness. Let your light draw sinners to Christ. Resist Satan and worldly lusts. Be a shining example to all around you as an epitome of holiness.
Thought for the day: Let your light make a difference in your world.
Song for the day: When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word.
Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 13-16; John 14.
