PUT ON THAT LIGHT

Post date: Aug 2, 2012 7:30:12 AM

Your life was meant to be a blessing to yourself, your family, your community and the world, and it is still a blessing despite your feelings and what people are saying. God has not changed that, and nothing and no one can change that. The feelings that, you are not what God had destined you to be now, doing what God wants you to do, or being where God wants you to be has not changed the importance that God has placed in your life. What you do with and in your life matters to God, to man and the society, we all will hold you accountable even though the life is given to you to own.  

Your life is not a waste though it appears so to you now; it is not inferior though you are not as rich and eloquent as others; it is not irrelevant though you have not received all the education you should. You may not be needed now, even by your immediate family members, your physical look may not be commendable and appealing to men as you wish, you may not be as productive as you want to, but as long as you still alive, I will urge you to turn on the light of your life and it will shine.  

People may have condemned you in the past, but know that, as long as you still living, you are still valuable. People may have perfected the acts of frustrating and infuriating your every move, but as long as you are still alive, you are still relevant. People may have abused you in the past, but as long as you are still living, things are bound to change. People may have denied you your rights several times over, but as long as you are still pressing on, you will make a difference. People may have been calling you unpleasant names, but as long as you still intact, your real name will be restored. People may have ignored you because of your inadequacies, but as long as you still living, those inadequacies is not a setback. You can still turn on the light of your life.

Life is one tremendous gift of God to everyone beside the Holy Spirit. This gift did not come because you are a Christian it is a gift for everyone for a purpose, but it only shines brighter when the Spirit of God dwells in you.  

Christianity is a call that requires your conscious actions and determination to standout in the crowd not to stand with the crowd. It is a call to make a positive difference in the world beginning from your home, immediate community, to act differently, lead differently, communicate differently with the crowd, and see with the eyes of God rather than with the eyes and opinion of men.

This is what the word of God say you are “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven” Matthew 5:14-16

Do not give up you your light because of adversity and all other activities of men. Don’t let your light go off by affliction, pains, confusion, despair, denial, frustration and confrontations from every angle. Remember, you cannot pass through this world without experiencing at least one of these things mention, but your determination will make a difference.  

Take your light off the dusty cradle of doubts and fear and let it shine. Take it off the inner room of shame and frustration and let it shine, take it off the perils of wicked attacks and lacks and let it shine.

Your light is not off yet; it is only dusty and crowded with uncertainty, unemployment, under employment, inadequacy, bloating of ideas or the lack of it, unfriendly and unequal opportunities. Shake of the dust from off your thoughts, polish your mind with the word of God and switch on the light of your life. By God’s grace, it will shine for the world to see, rejoice and give praise to the living God. Amen.
