We Are The Light
Titilope oluwadare
We see Jesus talking about the assignment of the Christians. He says
You are the light of the world-like a city on a mountain, [a city set on a hill] glowing in the night for all to see.
IN OTHER WORDS WE ARE TO BE THE EXAMPLES, AND THE ILLUMINATORS, THE
ONES HAVING POSITIVE INFLUENCE ON THE
WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE.GIVING DIRECTION
TO THE BLIND AND THE CONFUSED. WE MUST
BE THE ONES SHINNING IN THE DARKNESS ALL
AROUND US. If Christians make no effort to
affect the world around them BY BEING
DIFFERENT, they are of little value to God. If we
are too much like the world, we are worthless
as “Light.”

book excerpt

GOD WANTS US TO BE A LIGHT TO THE WORLD. Jesus says can you hide a city that is sitting on top of a hill? Its light at night can be seen for miles. If we live for Christ, we will glow like lights, showing others what Christ is like. We hide our light by (1) being quiet when we should speak, (2) going along with the crowd and worldliness, (3) denying the light by materialism, seeking of power and popularity amongst men (4) letting sin dim our light, (5) not explaining our light to others, or (6) ignoring the needs of others by being selfish and putting self on the throne of our lives. Be a beacon of truth-don't shut your light off from the rest of the world. The tragedy of the situation is that the world has virtually snuffed the light out of the church. Check most churches, they are built after the world system, Materialism, pursuit of money, fame, power and pleasure. Much entertainment little spirituality , much focus on mans desires and less on Gods requirements , sermons tilted and unbalanced to ensure popularity and acceptance by the innocent people who do not know better and who are being milked dry while the prophets are growing fat . When the church looses its Light, when the church stops standing out, when the church stops being the beacon and light , the city set on the hill that brings light unto all that is in the house , the whole house slides into darkness . That is the present situation in our generation. And how great is the darkness. Throughout all the ages the world advances forcefully against the church to snuff out its light by worldliness, the greatest battle confronting the church is worldliness. As Adam and Eve where tempted by worldliness, the Godless human system that feeds on desires, pleasure, materialism . The same temptation is still being used today to make us drop from the high ground. It says if it looks good, desire it, It must be good for you , it will make you better. Why not? Has God really said? Why can we not lower his standards? Truly this looks Good, How can it then be wrong?...........We are the light of the world. We are the city on the hill, we are to stand out, give direction to a dying world, illuminate them, let them see, open blind eyes, we are to allow God to put us on our stand , every one of us has unique stands , some are examples of Christian business men, others are examples of , single Christians , examples of Christian teenagers , examples of women ,examples of Christian wives and mothers, examples of Christian husbands and fathers,examples of Christian Managing Directors, Example of Christian prime ministers etc , every where we are to put on stand we are............We know we have a mission to shine, but we must not be ignorant of what we are up against. We are up against Gross darkness
