Let It Shine

Let It Shine

BIBLE TEXT
Solomon then cast ten gold lampstands according to the specifications that had been given and put them in the Temple. Five were placed against the south wall, and five were placed against the north wall.
2 Chronicles 4:7




The lampstands in the temple were merely golden ornaments until the priests poured the oil, trimmed the wicks, and lit the lampstands for the first time. Then light flooded the Holy Place and illuminated the temple. A hush came over the priests as the glory of God hovered over the temple and then filled the Holy of Holies. Thousands upon thousands stood outside—dancing, singing, and cheering as they celebrated the arrival of Jehovah to the place where he would dwell among his people. 

Today we who are Christians are the lampstands in a nation looking for spiritual truth. Christianity can be reduced to just one more religion, a mere ornament among the many religions the world offers, or it can burn brightly as the presence of the living God inhabits our homes, our families, and our daily lives. Like a million points of light, the body of Christ can show the way to a living God.




PRAYER
LIVING GOD, fan the flames of my passion for you so that others will see your light inside of me. Let the fire that burns be a steady flame, not one that flickers in winds of change or consumes with damaging heat. Let it be a light that shows the way to you.

INSIGHT
Lord, make my life a window for your light to shine through and a mirror to reflect your love to all I meet.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

THE GRACE OF GOD

Date 📅 26th October, 2022 Topic The Grace of God Living Scripture 1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. The grace of God is very important to everyone both saved and unsaved though as many as believe in Christ Jesus receives of the grace and truth at work in the Lord. This is what sustains us as children of God throughout our lifetime here on earth. God's grace for the world is general but limited and that for His children comes only in Christ Jesus, for as many that want to partake of this kind of grace must be born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. This brought about the testimony of brother Saul turned Apostle Paul who testified to be the least of all the Apostles and disciples of Christ. He was a persecutor of the gospel a child of Abraham under the common grace but not under the g...
