Understanding The Dimensions Of Spiritual Light.

Matthew 5:16, John 8:12, Matthew 5:14-16

Light is a very interesting phenomenon.
Light is a very useful and valuable resource to have in life.
Physically and spiritually, light is useful.

Jesus described His followers as the light of the world.
If we, who claim to be Christians are the light of the world in this generation, then it's worth understanding what Jesus meant by His followers and the church being a city on the hill that cannot be hidden.

We need to understand what Jesus meant when He said 'I am the light of the world and whoever has Me will not stumble in darkness'
To fully understand and value light we need to understand what darkness is.

Darkness, spiritually speaking is symbolic of evil, negativity, Satan's Kingdom, ignorance, mistakes, stumbling, wickedness, and a lack of vision or foresight.

Light is the spiritual opposite  of everything darkness is.
Light represents good, positiveness, God's Kingdom, being informed, accuracy, standing firm, goodness, vision, foresight and counsel and so on.
Light is too important to be ignored in our Christian faith and life journey.

As a ministry, our mandate is "teaching God's Word and spreading God's Light"
We see light is mentioned over and over again in the Bible.

What Does The Bible Show Us about Light?

1) The Life in us is referred to as light.
You have been given a shiny life that glows to the glory of God.
We are meant to glow to His glory. John 1:4-5

2) The Kingdom we are in is a Kingdom of light - 1 Peter 2:9, Colossians 1:13

3) The Word of God is referred to as light - Psalm 119:105

4) The path of God's people is referred to as a light - Proverbs 4:18

5) Our spiritual armour is an armour of light - Philippians 6:11-18

6) Prophecy is referred to as light - 2 Peter 1:19
Jesus's coming was preceeded by written and spoken prophecy. Matthew 2:5, 14, 17, 23
Prophecy is so important that the Bible says we shouldn't neglect it. 1Thessalonians 5:20
Prophecy builds up, inspires us and directs us.
Prophecy answers to a spiritual gift. 1 Corinthians 12:10
It's either you have the gift or you don't.
Since it's a gift you can ask for it. 1 Corinthians 12:31

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
