VISIBLE SIGNS THAT PROVE YOU ARE A CHILD OF LIGHT
TEXT: Ephesians 4:17-32
Key verse:  Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation 
the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts.

God is light and there is no darkness in Him (1 John 1:5). True children of God walk in the light and not in darkness (1 John 1:6). Not everybody who calls on the name of Jesus belongs to Him; not everybody in the Church is a true child of God. There are all kinds of Christians in the church. Beyond saying, “I am a Christian” or “I belong to this church or that church” or “I am a pastor,” there are signs that should signpost your life to prove your identity in Christ Jesus.  Here are five things that happen when you come into the light of God.

1. Your life will stand you out in the dark world. Matthew 5:14-15 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 
2. Your life will bring glory to God. Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 
3. You will live a new life in Christ and people will witness to it – the life of righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:22-24 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 
4. You will not be a partaker of evil works of darkness. Ephesians 5:11-13 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 
5. You will become a role model that others will want to emulate. 1Corinthians 11:1  Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.  1Thessalonians 2:10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe.

Thought for the day: The life you live is what announces you as a Christian, not your confession.
Song for the day: Let others see Jesus in you, let others see Jesus…..
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 1-3; Galatians 2

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
