Arise and shine
Isaiah 60:1
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
If you pray for God to set you on fire (fill you with the desire and zeal to fulfill your mission) and you believe you can do greater works, then you have to arise and shine.
Arising and shinning involves stepping out in faith or going out to fulfill your mission as a christian of winning souls.
Like Isaiah 60:1 says,
……the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. God has already through the Holy Spirit given you the ability and spiritual strength you need to be successful.
Philippians 2:15
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.
As you go out to win souls remember you are the light of the world, set a good example based on directions given in scripture in all you do.
The word of God is very important in winning souls but remember that ” actions speak louder than words”. If you do not practice what you preach, no one will take you serious.
God be with you.
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. As an individual, study the word, preach the word and give as much as you can in cash and in kind to those who need it.
2. The church should not only preach the word through crusades and street evangelism but also organize medical missions that would provide medications to the seek and food and refreshment to the needy.
3. Leaders or the government should give Christians to preach the word freely through the media, radio, TV and the internet.
Prayer
Lord in these times of war,famine, drought and strange diseases use us as instruments of peace to bring hope and healing to the world. Amen.
