Title: It is the desire of God in Jesus Christ that you arise and shine with the light of God.
“Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.”
Isaiah 60:1-2 NKJV.
As you accept the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ when He suffered, died and rose again, and acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord of your life, He desires to lift you up so that you can shine with the light of God. For this to happen He needs to make you a kind, a God kind. You need to allow the word of God to dwell in you richly in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16), to allow your mind to be transformed by the word of God.(Romans 12:2). You also need to allow the Holy Spirit of God to empower you. That is why Jesus Christ told His disciples in Acts 1:7-8 (NKJV): And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Point of reflection: Every living thing which God made has in itself a seed capable of producing and multiplying after its kind.(Genesis 1:24-25). The word of God also is a living seed that produces after its kind, the God kind. (Luke 8:11-15). Desire the word of God to work in your life, earnestly desire to be filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit. You have a responsibility to prepare your heart to be good ground for the word. Do you desire that? When you are ready-
Prayer of commitment:
Heavenly Father I thank you for sending your one and only Son to suffer, die and rise again. I ask you today Jesus Christ to be my Lord. I reject the enemy Satan and in the name of Jesus Christ I command you to let me go and serve God. You have nothing in me and I have nothing in you. I ask you Lord Jesus Christ to fill me with your Holy Spirit and empower me right now. In Jesus Christ's name I pray.
Amen.
