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: to rise from unbelief and from a position of mediocrity.
God is calling the Church to rise to a position of prayer and begin to take its ambassadorial position
in the world, because the light has come. It is for us to rise because the light has already come; it is
already here. This is the light that will support our manifestation and differentiate us from the
world. It is the light that will give us superior knowledge and wisdom such as the world has never
seen before. This is the light that our forefathers carried, which left kings dumb-founded by the
extent of their 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 that John bears
witness to. God wants us to manifest this light, which gives life to men. In Isaiah 60:2, the Bible
says: “Behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people.”
There is a darkness that is going to cover the world.
Not only that, but it will develop into a gross darkness that will be upon the people. We are al-ready
seeing some of its effects. It is manifesting in the way people behave, causing men and women to do
blasphemous things — things that are against human nature — which are being de-scribed as
normal. These are signs of the darkness that has covered the world.
May the Church of God arise and shine and begin to demonstrate the light that can make the
darkness flee. The problem is that we have hidden this light inside our buildings and have not taken
it to the marketplace or to the places where we live.
May God awaken us in this season.
The Bible tells us in Isaiah 60:2–3: “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.”
The reason we are not seeing the nations come to our business environments, workplaces, schools
or neighbourhoods is that this light is designed to attract Gentiles to come to the light we carry.
This is a powerful light that will cause things to follow us or be drawn to us without our having to
chase after them. Bear in mind that it is the light of God that causes the darkness not to
comprehend it.
We are living in a season when the Church is chasing after things. Everything in life was de-signed
to be attracted and drawn by the mystery of this light. The Bible says that the Gentiles shall come to
our light, not our familiar friends, because when those who know you bless you, it is difficult to say that it is God. But when strangers feed your flock, then you will know that it is a dimension of the grace this light carries.
The Bible says, “Kings shall come to the brightness of thy rising.” There is a dimension of light that
the Church must demonstrate — a light that will begin to attract kings. Kings will not just come,
because they are busy people. But when they begin to see this brightness, they will come for the
solutions that this light produces.
May we arise so that this light will be seen in the Body of Christ, and so that the darkness covering
the earth will flee because of this light.
Remember, we are ambassadors of the Kingdom of God; we represent God on earth. As we arise,
this darkness cannot stand, because we are the carriers of the light. If things are not attracted to us,
it is a sign that we are not carrying the light.
I would like to 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.
