Matthew 5:14 “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid”.
As Christians, God has also called us to influence and to impact our world. Your presence as a Christian must be felt everywhere you go and at all times. Being a Christian must make you a pattern to be looked up to. Thus, you must not be in the dark.
The prophecy of Isaiah sounds this clarion call better. See Isaiah 60:1-3 “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising”.
This mandate raises Christianity beyond going to Church, reading the Bible and attending prayer meetings. This is not to say that Church Service, word study and prayer meetings are irrelevant. Rather they are ways by which God equips the believer to make him a burning and a shining light in the world.
Know that God wants you to be a positive influence in the world. Don’t just exist. The power of God in you must affect the lives of other people. It is this power the world is waiting for you to manifest. “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God” (Romans 8:19). You must manifest in order to take away poverty. You must manifest to cast out demons and evil spirits. You must manifest to demonstrate God’s power and glory. You must manifest it to lead others to the Lord.
Don’t sit and fold your arms for evil to prevail. As light, you must dominate your world.
