The Light of God

GREETINGS, beloved nation. Isaiah 60:1-3 says, “Arise, shine; for thy light is come and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.”

God is calling the church to arise and shine.
He is calling us to arise from unbelief, from a place of mediocrity. The church must rise to a position of prayer and begin to take its ambassadorial role in the world because the light has come.

It is for us to arise because the light is already here; it has already been provided. This is the light that will support our manifestation and distinguish us from the world. It is the light that will give us superior knowledge and wisdom that the world has never seen before.

This is the same light that our forefathers carried, which has left kings dumbfounded by their level of knowledge. In John 1:4-5, the Bible says, “In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”

This is the light John bore witness to. God wants us to manifest this light that gives life to men. As Isaiah 60:2 states, “Behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people.”

A darkness is coming upon the world. Not only that, it will escalate into a gross darkness covering the people. We are already seeing some effects of this gross darkness today.

It manifests in the way people behave —committing blasphemous acts, things that go against human nature, which are now being normalised. These are signs of the darkness that has already covered the earth.

May the church of God arise, shine and begin to demonstrate the light that can make darkness flee. The problem with the church is that we have hidden this light inside our buildings instead of taking it to the marketplace and to our places of residence. May God awaken us in this season.

The Bible tells us in Isaiah 60:2-3, “For behold, the LORD shall arise upon thee and his glory shall be seen upon thee; and the Gentiles shall come to thy light and kings to the brightness of thy rising.”

The reason we are not seeing nations coming to our businesses, workplaces, schools or neighbourhoods is because this light is meant to attract Gentiles to come to the light we carry. This is a powerful light that will cause things to follow us or be attracted to us naturally, without us chasing after them.

Remember, it is the light of God that causes darkness not to comprehend it. We are living in a season where the church is chasing after things. Everything in life was designed to be attracted and drawn by the mystery of this light.

The Bible says the Gentiles shall come to our light, not just our familiar friends, because when those who know you bless you, it’s often difficult to attribute it to God. But when strangers feed your flock, then you will know it is a dimension of the grace this light carries.

And the Bible says, “Kings shall come to the brightness of thy rising,” indicating that there is a particular dimension of light the church must demonstrate to attract kings. Kings won’t come just because they are busy; they will come because they see this brightness and seek the solutions that this light provides.

Let us arise so that this light will be visible in the body of Christ, causing the darkness covering the earth to flee. Remember, we are ambassadors of the kingdom of God, representing Him on earth. As we rise, this darkness cannot stand because we carry the light. If things are not drawn to us, it’s a sign that we are not carrying this light.

I invite you to receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that He is your Lord and Saviour and you shall be saved. God bless you all.
