In the HOLY BIBLE, JESUS tells several parables about the importance of letting GOD work in and through us.
No greater Wisdom can a person seek than that which comes from the mouth of GOD.
In the Gospel of John, Chapter 8, verse 12, ” Then JESUS again spoke to them, saying, I AM the LIGHT of the world: he that followeth ME shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the LIGHT of Life.”
In Matthew, Chapter 5, verses 14- 16, the Gospel reads, ” Ye are the light of the world, A city on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light until all that are in the house. Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your FATHER which is in heaven.”
When you accept JESUS CHRIST as your Savior, the Light of the world (FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT), takes residence in your heart. This allows us to be the Light in this world. GOD Living in us! When we obey HIS Voice and let HIS Truth and Love Shine through our actions, it will affect others in a positive way, so that GOD can be glorified.
When you are known to be a Christian, you are especially being watched. So it is very important to be an ambassador with the Grace of GOD operating in you. This is a high calling, and we all will fall short at times, but stay the course and be reminded of GODS great Mercy, which endures forever!
You must keep oil in your lamp at all times. The OIL IS, GOD Alive in you. In Matthew, Chapter 25, verses 1 – 13, JESUS tells a parable of the 10 virgins and the oil in their lamps. This will keep you ready for the work in this earth that HE has prepared for you, as well as being ready at HIS return. In verse 13 of Chapter 25, the Gospel reads, “Watch therefore, for you know not the day nor the hour wherein the SON of man cometh.”
Stay filled!
Let your Light shine before others. Don’t be void of Light nor useless for GOD’S purposes.
Keep oil in your lamp that you stay full, so that you can work now and be ready at HIS return.
May GOD Bless us with Wisdom. Strength and an Abundance of HIS SPIRIT, that we may walk in Love and obedience to HIS WORD and bring Glory to HIS Great NAME. I ask this in the Sweet and Mighty NAME of HIS Only Begotten SON, JESUS CHRIST, Our LORD. AMEN.
